The government has granted permits
sion to build new railway from Borg
holm to Nasty.
The East Asiatic Steamship company
passed with surprising rapidity from
the dim realm Of speculation to a tan
gible reality, thanks to the riksdagi
which authorized a loan of 100000 to
the company. An equal amount will
be raised as capital stock. The first
steamer Of the company will leave for
the East in July.
At the expiration of the time for
handing in designs for the new coins
to be issued by the government the
whole number Of designs received was
"a. The highest prize, $40, could not
be awarded because no design was
FOUND to deserve it, but the second
prize of 1910 was given to E. Lindberg
and the third prize of $216 to Olbe

The Liberal Fusion party had a rally
at Skansen, Stockholm, a few days be-
fore the close of the session of the
riksdag. Ex-Premier Staff, the head
of the party, made a lengthy address.
The Conservative party, by crowding
out the Staff cabinet and giving the
Swedish people general suffrage, based
on proportional representation, left the
Liberal party in an awkward position
Under the circumstances the Liberal
party is closely watched, for it is taken
for granted that it must either cham
plon some popular issue or sink down
to level of comparative insignifcance
in Swedish politics. Staff evidently
prefers the former alternative. In his
address he discussed a series of great
| problems, advocating, among other
things, woman suffrage, old age an6
invalid insurance, a new government
department for trade, industry an6
communication, the gradual abolish.
ment of the practice of making so many
public institutions financially dependen

New Stata Fair Buildings.

Hamline.-The State Fair grounds
will be about the busiest place in this
part of the state from now until the
fair opens on Sept. with the work
laid out by the board of managers.
Awards were made to thu extent Of
$75, GOO, and other work was put in
line for immediate commencement.
Most important was the main dairy
building which is to be a handsome
pressed brick structure, of very sub
stantial construction and will stand
on the eastern edge of the grounds
near Smelling Avenue and beyond the
present farm machinery building. AS
it is to be equipped with a mammoth
refrigerator and completely lighted,
the total cost will be several thou
sands more than the main contract.
Next comes the Poultry building
which will be of pressed brick and will
be very large in ground area though
not as high in facade as some of the
structures. The main idea is to
secure space and light. It will stand
on the new forty acres purchased this
spring and north of the present
machinery building.
The construction of these new
buildings will force the farm machin-
cry division of the fair further north
and at the fair of 1907 it will extend
from its present beginnings near the
grand stand quite to the extreme
north end of the grounds.

Governor General Gerhard is in favor
of enacting laws against praising un.
lawful deeds, which is not punishable
at the present time. For this purpose
he has asked for advice from the pro-
CURATOR who has drawn up an opinion
on the matter, explaining that at the
time of the enactment of the penal law
such expressions were extremely rare
in Finland, and in case they were in
tended for publication they were sup
pressed by the press censors.] The pro-
curator further states that most of the
modern penal laws Of other countries
expressly prohibit the praising of law

agrees with the governor general that

ping Concern.

Washington.-The interstate com.
MERGE commission Wednesday de-
cided to institute a proceeding Of
inquiry and investigation into the
affairs of the Hamburg-American
Packet company, which is charged by
Peter Wright & Sons, general agents
at Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan
Shipping company and the Cosmo-
politan lines, with pooling and main
tanning monopolies in restraint Of trade
The inquiry is expected to be one
of, the most stupendous ever under
taken and of character different
from any that ever before has engaged
the attention of the commission.
The inquiry will have to deal with
an alleged combination between rail-
roads in the United States and the
German shipping concern and there
fore interests every American pro-
Queer, manufacturer or shipper aspir.
ing to introduce his goods to foreign
consumers.
The charges are summed up as fol.
lows:
First-That the Hamburg American
Packet company is a monopoly in re-
straint of trade, exercising through it's
both east-bound and west-bound, be.
tween Hamburg and interior cities in
the United States and to determine
the rates and routes of such traffic.
Second--That the Baltic pool" of
which the Hamburg-American Packet
company is controlling factor, is a
combine in restraint of trade, .. die
tating the percentages of. traffic from
interior cities of the United States to
Baltic points, which shall flow through
each of the North Atlantic ports men,
toned, to the end that each Of the
lines composing the pool may receive
it's allotted proportion of the business
and no more.
Four other charges are made, di.
vided as follows: That the effect OF
the differentials which place Ameri-
can ports on en- equality is nullified
by the POOLS arbitrary division of
the traffic; that the acts complained
of are in violation of the laws of the
United States; that efforts to rehabili.
tate the American merchant marine
are hampered and rendered abortive
by this monopoly; and finally, that
there is little use in legislation for
the benefit of the American shipping,
IF at the same time we allow our
present laws to be violated by an I'M
scrupulous foreign corporation in it's
effort to suppress American competi-
ton on land and sea-

Saves Own Life.

Minneapolis With his clothes COW

denning saved his life by jumping
into large vat of water in the shops
of the Northwestern Stove company,

workmen Clendenning was boiling
an oil preparation when it tipped
over and the oil caught fire and was
thrown to all parts of the room.

injury, although he lost both eye
lashes and his moustache. The
flames did slight damage to the
building.
