Norwegian law, unanimously passed
by the storthing and unanimously oe-

of ordnance has been received from

400 last year during the same months.
The number embarking from Trondhl
jem was 700 more than last year dur

given for this unusual emigration is
that the fares to America, toward
which most Of them were headed,
were uncommonly low.
