Copenhagen, Nov. 18.-1n conse~

American minister, Mr.. Swenson, the
minister of justice has issued instruc-
tions that no notarial fees shall in
future be charged by Danish officials

poor widows who, on account of the
distance. are unable to obtain free
the services of American diplomatic
and consular officials) of the pay
ment of the fees which pensioners
not within the reach of American
officials must pay.

Hagerup whether such a treaty ex-
listed, and he gave the somewhat
evasive answer that the government
had not pledged itself to expef peo.
pie from the country; but that the
storting had no right to demand that
the government violate it's pledge of
discretion. The. storting was bound
to. conclude that secret treaty had

CONTEST GROWS INTENSE
Pendieton Said to Have the Promise
 of the Supervisors.

The contest for the position of clerk of the board of supervisors is not abating, but on the contrary is grow ing more bitter. It is said that the appointment will probably go to w. G. Pendleton, he having been promised the place by the two democratic mem bers of the new b,ard, Clanton and Orme. On the other hand, Professor Roser has behind him the support of the party machine, and his petition is increasing in length and now bears the names of most of the prominent dem ocrats of the county, at least of thos living in and about Phoenix. An eff fort is being made on his behalf to in duce the democratic members of the board to change their minds. On the other hand, the friends of PendIeton are busy and are confident that he will be appointed.
 It is also announced that Sheriff. elect Walker has selected three of his deputies. The chief deputy will be Billy Cunningham and the others will be Frank King and John Wright. Messrs. King and Walker. worked to. gether in the office of the sheriff dur ing the administration of J. K. Murphy twelve years ago. Mir. Walker was the under sheriff, and when he resigned to accept the position of receiver of the Hartford bank he was succeeded by MT King.
 It is possible that Charles Slankard will be given a deputyship also.
 It has already been announced that Lewis P. Moore will be the assistant of Treasurer Hayden. but it is not known outside who will be the clerks in the ofIice of the county recorder.
