praise for the work of these men.
That they are better sailors than the
picked men of Shamrock III is admit
ted by the expert yachtsmen of Great
Britain and Ireland and by Sir Thomas
Upton. who is reported to have said:
The Smartest sailors | ever saw in my
life are those who sail the Reliance.
In many places in the Hedemarken
district the liberal venstre and the lib
eral hoire have united at the polls and
this was recently the case in Trondh-
jem, which now followed Bergen's eX-
ample. The result of the elections is
| that the venstre suffered a crushing
defeat Seventy of the leading ven
sire men-many of whom were storth-
Eingsmen-have broken away from the
Eso-calIed ''regeringvenstre" and formed
La new party. The program consists
first of all of loyalty to the present
I government; secondly, a continued
good relation with Sweden; thirdly, en-
courag ement of industries. Fourthly,
no expansion of the present military
system, legislation to limit the sessions
of the storthing and lastly a direct
vote. Conspicuous among the sigma
lures urging this reform are those of
i the editors of the venstre papers
Dagsposten and Folketidende.
| Dr. Fridtjof hansen, the famous arc
tic explorer in letter to Verdens
| Gang, the leading newspaper of Chris
| tiania, announces his adherence to the
new policy or peaceful solution of
the union Question and strict economy.
He declares that the ministerial home
rulers and petty politicians are ruin
| ing the country. Since Nansen has al
ways been strong home-ruler; his let
| ter has made deep impression and
has convinced many waiverers that
the new policy is no abatement of the
| jurt Norwegian demand for full indie
pendence but only wise adaptation
| to changed circumstances.
L. o. Torpe, state senator from Min
| pesota, is at present visiting old friends
| in Bergen. Mr. Torpe is from Torpe
| in Hurdanger and has not seen Nor
way for thirty-five years, but, says
the Tergen's Tdende, ''he speaks his
mother. and even the Hardanger dia-
| lect as well as he did when he emf
| grated to America" Mr.. Torpe is ac-
companied by his wife and daughter,
and will visit Stockholm, Gothenburg,
Berlin and Paris.
The French journal L'Europeen has
announced that it has organized an in
ternational editorial committee and
that two of the prominent members Of
this committee will be Bjornstjerne
| Bjornson and Nicolas Salmeron, the
leader of the Republican party in
| Spain. AS is known L'Europeen is a
| medium of liberal ideas and has es-
| pecially posed as the defendant of the
smaller nations versus the larger.
Nine Hulda Garborg and her friend
Mime Clerk Hauptmann-have re-
| turned from the Farce islands, where
they have spent the past five months.
They are at present in Bergen and will
| soon compile a series of articles de-
scriptive of life and conditions in the
| aforementioned islands.
The Centraltheater was opened for
the season Sept. 2 with Wied's ''Tum-
melmusen." The theater was literally
packed with people.
