cries, leans toward almost absolute free
trade Sweden, q farming and manu-

as Norway, and has more than double
the population. 1t is a comparatively
fat land, and &c per cent of the popu-
lation is engaged Ia agriculture. Nor

since ts,e dawn Of European history,
when the Morse vikings held thei- rich
er neighbors in the more fertile lands
TO the south in terror Of their raids,
and left their bones on the coasts Of
nearly every country OF the continent,
and mixed their own stalwart blood
with that OF nearly every one Of the
tribes who founded modern Europe.
And now that civilization has outgrown
those viking rNfds. Norway's chief
wealth is her shipping, and her fisher
les. Thus in their commercial inter
ests the two countries are wide apart.
in their social and economic theories
they are even wider. Sweden. as al
ready noted, is a feudal oligarchy. Nor
way has tried to live by her progress
sive constitution. Government IN
Sweden is entirely in the hands of the
classes. Norway has tried, without
much encouragement. to put her gov

in the hands Of the masses. AS early

Boston, Feb. l5.-An extraordinary
air of mystery surrounds the suicide at
the Hotel LORRAINE of a handsomely
dressed man, 80 or S5 years old, who,
before he killed bimself, DESTROYED every
thing belonging to him which he believed
might give clue to his identity. The
man registered at the Touraine Monday
evening as S. B. Neal, OF Chicago. he
was a prosperous appearing man who
bore himself as though accustomed to
moving in good society. Yesterday
noon his body was found on the bed IN
his room. His arms were crossed upon
his breast, white cloth covered his face
and the bed clothing was as smoothly
spread over his body as though funeral
director had attended 20 these details.
DIR. Grant, the house physician, pro-
nounced it case of suicide by NOR
phine and chloroform. The body IS
that of a man about 35 years OF age,
5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 10
pounds, clean shaver, of dark complex
ion, having brown eyes and regular
teeth. The police officials now believe
that the man belonged in Washington,

brown leather satcheI revealed traces OF
letters making out that address, although
rather indistinctly. The examination
also showed that the initial mark on the

THE House of Representatives will
investigate the recent rejection of the
Midvale Steel Company's bid for the
armor plate contract and will determine
whether or not the action of the Secre-
tary of the Navy in awarding the con-
tract to the steel trust was warranted.
A resolution OF inquiry introduced in
the House by Mr.. Rixey was fayorably
reported in amended form by the naval
affairs committee yesterday, as stated in
the Gazette of that day. 1t will be
passed without opposition. As remod-
eled by the committee, the resolution
calls upon the Secretary of the Navy to
furnish the House with all correspon-
dence and other information regarding
the award of the contract to the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies and the rejec-
ton of the Midvale bid. The Midvale
company offered to supply armor at $49S
a ton, while the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies asked 800 ton, plus the
Krupp royalties, which amount to $40 a
ton. This made difference of approxi-
mately $500, 900 for the entire contract
in favor of the Midvale company.
