Says lingo Vallentin, the Christi
ania correspondent: I'VE have put UP
with the Karlstad agreement and ac-
cepted the new mona chy and no hon
orable Norwegian with feeling Of re-
sponsibility toward established faces
is thinking of upsetting either Tn
happily several journals DO rot seem
to understand this fact and By ulzra-
loyal articles on the new monarch
and incorrect statements on the pcs.
ton taken mp by the left wing Of t-e
liberal party. they are actually undA
mining the position OF the c0nserE1-
tives instead Of propping it up. one
of the recent sunday elections may
serve MS nm example. In south Gud-
brandsdalen they had lately a repre-
sentative hy the name of Enge This
gentleman was a true supporter of TIE
government in 1903. and went in for
the monarchy in the short fortnightly
campaign which resulted in the cleo
ton of our present king. He Subse-
quently became a member of the depu-
tation appointed by the storthing to &C
to Copenhagen TO inform Prince
Charles of his being elected king Of
Norway. A few Sundays ago Mr..
Fnge. who in November was sup
ported by his electors, was beaten by
his radical adversary by a majority
Of nearly 800. This fact points to
change in public opinion which is well
worth attention. especially in Amer
lea, where numerous NorwegianS,
who visited the old country this sum-
mer for the coronation festivities no
doubt think of things in Norway as
different from what they really are.
of the Sunday elections must not be
exaggerated. but their radical turn has
created attention all over the country
and the conservative and moderate
factions openly confess their uneasi-
ness at this preliminary result The
two most important election days
were Aug. 20 and 81. On these two
days there were elected respectively
thirty-seven and thirty-three repre-
sentatives to the storthing.
Uric Daniels, former assistant cash
Ter Of the wrecked Stensland bank in
Chicago is reported seriously Ill and
believed to he dying at Vikedal, Nor
way. Newspaper reports connect
him with the SteIsland forgeries, but
he denies positively that he has any
knowledge of Stensland's affairs
Daniels neighbors in yikedal assert |
that he has nothing but good TO say of |
Stensland. who worked hard against |
hard luck. but was finally overpow
cred When pressed to explain the
details he invariably refused to speak.
Daniels was in Stavanger when the
news Of the Stensland failure reached
that town. He was then ILL., though
not seriously. He left the same day
for Vikedal, where he has since been. |
He will be taken to hospital in |
Stavanger If he gets well enough to
be moved.
The new election law which went |
into effect this year has not been very
successful so far. In the twenty-five |
districts voting for members of parlia. |
ment Aug. 81 fifteen reflections will |
be necessary, as no candidate received |
half of the ballots cast. Three cab |
met officers and four opposition mem |
bers are elected, making the total up |
to this time stand: Nine cabinet. |
eight opposition, one prohibitionist and |
ole socialist vote with twenty-one |
second ballotings to come.
Over 1900 people were In Bergen
Aug. | to see the German naval |
squadron. On all the ships there was
an open reception end refreshments
were served in abundance. Dancing |
continued until midnight on all the
ships and every one reports an excel. |

well received in Bergen and they ali |
expressed the wish that their cruise
in Norwegian waters would be pro
longed.
