NORW EGIAN LOWERS HIS FLAG.
Had TO Ent err His Ship trough the swedish
Consul or Not at All.

Capt. Nilsen, Norwegian, in command
Of the Norwegian ship Tjomo, in yesterday
from Norway, never as much rs glanced
at the swedish consulate when he came on
shore. II was furthest from his thoughts
to go in that direction. He carried his
papers direct TO the Custom House He
was a citizen Of an Independent country
and was going to robustness with the United
States officials without using the agent OF
foreign power as an intermediary.
Under the treaty between this country
and The King Of Sweden and Norway Swedish
Consus in this country receive the papers
OF Swedish and Norwegian captains when
they enter and give the captains receipts
which the captains take to the Custom
House. Deputy Collector Barrett accord
ingly, was surprised when Capt. Nilsen
came to him and handed over his docu-
ments
FL haven't anything to do with these
papers he said where is your receipt
from the Swedish Consult
Il don't propose to go to the Swedish
Consul retorted the Norweg ian pugnac
ously. Il am no longer a subject Of the
King of Sweden. | belong to free and
independent nation"
Mr.. Barrett told the captain that Nor
way might be free, but that the Gust ON
House had no official kno wledge Of it. The
Norwegian was disposed to discuss the
matter but the argument ended when
he was told that he must either enter his
ship through the Swedish Consul or take
1t away. Tho captain then cooled down
and chose the former alternative.
The proceedings at the consulate were
entirely formal. Capt. Nilsen presented
his papers and took the customary receipt.
His ship IL now under the control of the
Swedish Consul and he must visit that official
again when he gets ready to leave, give the
Consul his clearance papers and get the ships
papers back.

The Irish standard., 1905-04-22

The number of Democrats in the
legislature just adjourned was too few
to accomplish anything as a body, but
the members of that minority were a
credit to the community which they
represent. Of that minority Senator
Fitzpatrick of Winona rendered the
most notable service. In fact it is
doubtful whether there is another
member Of the whole legislature in
either body whose record is more cred
liable than his. Not the least of Sen
ator Fitzpatrick's service was his sue
cessful effort in defeating the Hugo
bill, the purpose of which was to pro-
vide for the adoption of the children
of unfortunate women coming into the
custody of certain incorporated So
cieties. This bill violated every par
entail instinct. It would, after it had
passed, encourages the very system,
an illustration of which we are now
having portrayed in our criminal court
in this county. To Senator Fitzpat-
rick's eloquent opposition is due the
defeat of a measure which would have
legalized the practice now carried on
by the so-called baby farms.
