Naples, Italy, March 25.-Kaiser
Wilhelm sails today to Capri on board
the dispatch boat Sleipner to pay a
visit to Crown Princess Victoria OF
Sweden and ACCOMPLISHMENTS
to-day called on by the German Kai-
ser. Glorious weather prevails. The
health of the crown princess is i'm
proving.-Capri, March 25.-The Ger
man Kaiser arrived here this forenoon
and was received at the pier by the
| Crown Princess of Sweden and Nor
| way and the authorities.
Axel Lille, a Finnish journalist who
was banished by the Russian governs
ment long ago, recently said that
when newspapers are suppressed IN
Finland they may be printed in Kris
tiania and Copenhagen and Struggled
into Finland. 10 this threat the Kris
tiania Norgen Cladet remarks that
the Norwegian capital begs to be ex-
cused from the honor of printing po-
| lemical writings against foreign gov
ernments and sovereigns, and Yer
dens Gang touches upon the same
matter in the following languages:
NO matter how deeply we may SYM
pathize with the fate of Finland we
cannot stand to have the Finnish agi-
tation expose the united kingdom to
| ,:.l, +~
friendly terms with Russia and we
cannot permit eNiled or expelled Fin
landers to carry on. under the .guise
of hospitality. any kind of agitation
which IS not lawful among ourselves.
The Finnish exiles will find protec-
ton in Sweden and Norway under the
present laws: but it is Il necessary
condition that they do not violate
those laws, and it is their moral duty
to consider the situation in the coun-
tries whose guests they arc.'
Den Syttende Mai, the organ of the
Norwegian language reformers, looks
upon the activity in Swedish military
circles as an omen of war. TO this
suspicion the Malmo 1idning replies
If the Norwegian paper had the least
idea of the sentiment in Sweden with
regard to a possible war, the editor
of the paper would spare all anxiety
on that score. We, too, are compelled
to pay our tribute to the general rage
for warlike preparations, the most
ravaging desire among the nations
of our day; but we have absolutely
no laundering for adventures of war.
Not our minister of war either. In
spite of everything, we Swedes are as
good friends of peace as our brothers
in Norway, difficult though it may be
to suit them in many respects

The ':anti-Socialists'' of Copenha-
gen polled from 1896 to 1873 votes,
and the fusion ticket of the Socialists
and the Liberals received from 16,45S
to 1865 votes. The victory of the
ants was more decisive last year.
The Danish rigsdag has passed bills
creating state loan fund and loan
fund for fishermen, and assisting Ia
borers in procuring homes of their
own.
The "anti-Socialists" carried the
city elections of Copenhagen. The city
council is now composed of 25 Radi-
Gals and Social Democrats and II
others.
The Danes were formerly very pop
ular among the Russians, and many
of them established profitable bust
ness connections in Russia. Gradual
ly the Russians are agreeing among
themselves that they can take care of
their own business, and all foreigners
residing in the country, including the
Danes. are rather losing ground on
account of this growing hostility to
foreigners.
It is a noteworthy fact, that all
members of the folkething from Ran
ders amt, irrespective of party affilia-
tions, voted against the bill providing
for whipping as punishment,
though it is generally understood
that murders committed in that very
amt were responsible for the appear
ance of the bill.
