Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Minot. N. D.. June 23.-The first mass meet
ing held in North Dakota by the Norwegians
for the purpose Of adopting resolutions express
ing their sympathy and approval Of the action
taken by the storthing on June was held In
Mnot last night.
With patriotic music and dignifed enthusiasm,
500 Norwegian-American residents at the opera
house last night adopted resolutions expressing
their unqualified approval of the steps which
were taken by the Norwegian storthing, and
pride in and deep appreciation of the manner
in which this change was brought about.
Stirring speeches delivered by former
Governor Joseph Devine of this city, Professor
A. c. Hendrickson of Donnybrook and James
was played by the MinOt Eagle band, and q
chorus of Norwegians Of Ward county sang sew
eral of their native selections. The resolutions
read in Norwegian and the motion to adopt
was greeted with chorus of "ayes'' and de-
clared carried. The meeting was closed by the
singing of America. The resolutions follow:
'That separation of Norway from Sweden
would be largely beneficial to both and a step
forward in the already advanced civilization Of
each country.
Resolved. That while recognizing King Os-
and the Swedish people STILL we believe
that separation at this time would give to
Norway and her people more direct and dis
tinctive form of government and enable her to
occupy a larger, more useful and representative
place among the governments of men.
Resolved That we fully believe that Nor
way was wholly within her just rights in her
act Of separation without the consent OF King
Oscar or the Swedish people, In that the union
of the two nations originally was of the nature
of limited copartnership and therefore to be
terminated at and by the will of either nation.
Resolved That in view of these universally
admitted facts, and believing in the patriotism,
courage and justice of Theodore Roosevelt, pres
ident of the United States we earnestly urge
him to take up for consideration at the earliest
possible moment the question which is now SO
vital to the interest of our beloved motherhood;
and If, after full Investigation Of the situa-
ton, he finds that in recognizing the independ-
ence of Norway, such an act will add to the
opportunities and growth Of that people in those
things which go to make up strong and pro-
gressive government, we hope he will grant that
recognition they desire promptly, If such a
recognition does not infringe upon the rights Of
other nations Of the world and in wise de-
tracts from the honor integrity and Justice Of
the government of the United States.
"Resolved. That copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to President Roosevelt and to
President Berner Of the Norwegian storthing,
and also copy to Congressman A. J. Gronna."

IREMEN'S BILL
Senator Brown Introduces a
Measure to Compensate
Volunteers in Towns
Without Paid Ser
vice.
special to "The Jersey city News Z,


TRENTON, Jan. 1s, 1904 Senator
Brown Of Monmouth County has intro
duced bill in the Senate which. If it be-
comes a law. will greatly benefit all vol
unteer firemen in the State. 1t is known
as Senate Bill No, 4 and provides that
all municipalities in the State where vol
unteer fire departments exist shall be au-
thorized to pay al fremen responding to
an alarm 81 for any one fire. The bill
further provides that the frenen shall
not receive any compensation for services
rendered unless the fire hose is stretched
and the FIRE extinguished by water drawn
from the fire hydrants.
Senator Brown explained today that
his bill was introduced to meet the situa-
ton in many towns in the State by the
decision of the Court of Errors and APP
peals that the $500 tax exemption here
tofore granted to volunteer fremen was
unconstitutional. III many towns, soma
tor Brown said, the volunteer fremen
were quitting the department. owing to
their inability . receive compensation
for their services, thus having these
towns without ample fire protection. 1t
was in hopes of inducing these volunteers
to remain in the department that he fav-
ored giving the 50 for any one FIRE as
compensation.
Il am in hopes that the bill win be-
come a law" said the Monmouth Sena-
tor. Nearly every volunteer fireman
with whom have come into contact
favors the bill and all have pledged
themselves to intercede with their rep
resentatiyes in the Legislature to work
for its success. It is a good bill and
can see no reason why it should not be-
come law. | intend to do everything
in my power to induce the Republican
majority 70 favor it with their votes.
'"Why should any volunteer fireman
render any service to a town without
compensation" continued the Senator
''The town receives the benefit of his
service and it is no more than right that
the town should pay him when he rem
ders his service at fire the same as it
is compelled to pay policeman for per-
forming his duty. If fireman is not
entitled to any pay then no policeman
should be paid Both are rendering a
service to the town and they should be
placed on an equal footing 50 far as
compensation is concerned 2
Senator Browns bill, if it becomes a
law will affect all towns in the State
where volunteer fire departments are 10
