Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden has
made a trip to Denmark to discuss
the question of supplying Norway
with king. The Norwegians wished
a prince of the royal family of Swe-
den in the first place, and it is under
stood that a Danish prince is their
second choice. King. Oscar woult.
not hear OF the placing of a Berna~
dotte OH the Norwegian throne. But
when he realizes that the Norwegians
are serious and honest about it he
may permit the placing of one of his
descendants on the Norwegian
throne rather than see it turned over
to somebody else. The visit of Crown
Prince Gustaf to the Danish court
points to a change of sentiment on
this point in Sweden. King Oscar
has also been careful enough to add
that he will yield to the demands of
the Norwegians if the Swedish riks-
dag asks him to do so.
The Berlin Tageblatt contains the
following utterances from Born
stjerne Bjornson: II have heard that
our army officers, were severely CEN
sured in Germany, especially in mill
tary circles, because they unhesitat-
ingly obeyed the orders of the tenn
porary government, including that
providing for a change of the flag.
To the Germans, as well as to all
others who have a king all by them
selves, a king who for that very rea-
son holds national views, the two
ideas, king and native country, CO.
incide. But the Norwegian king was
a king holding Swedish views. In
controversies with Swedes he was
always last in that country, so that
We were virtually left without a
king. If concessions were made, this
was done only when public sentiment
in Sweden permitted it. In such a
case the ideas Of king and native
country can be, and were actually,
disassociated. 1t is our desire that
the Germans may see this matter in
the proper light and Judge us accord
ing]y."
The Swedish government has
awarded to Capt. Bull-Larsen, COM
mander of the Norwegian steamer
Bergljot, gold medal of the fifth
size, and three members of the crew
received sums of money, in recogni-
ton of meddtorious deeds. The above
persons ran the risk of losing their
own lives by saving the crew of the
Swedish barque Betty, which was
wrecked in the Atlantic ocean.

The labor conflict in Stockholm il
quite bitter. The executive commit
tee of the employers union recently
passed the following resolution:
"Whereas the labor unions are pub
fishing the names of those who have
returned to work in the Socialdemo-
kraten, thereby branding them as
strike-breakers: the employers CEN
trail union will, in case this persecu-
ton on the part of the labor unions
is continued, publish the names of
those 1aborers and agitators who APP
pear at the different places: of work
and try to prevent those from going
to work who are willing to do So"
. A soldier died of spotted fever at
Malmo He'd.
Fisheries Inspector T. Trybom of
Stockholm caused one hundred plaice
(rodspatter) to be marked and put
back into the sea in the vicinity of
Smygehuk. The marks consist of
two bone buttons held together on
either side of the dorsal fin by means
of silver wire. One of the buttons is
carefully marked. The government
will pay forty cents for each mark
returned. But the finder must re-
port the time, the place and the
depth of the water where the fish
was caught. The exact size of the
fish must also be reported.
