DENMARK,

The managers of the free harbor OF
Copenhagen have decided to enlarge
the water surface of the harbOr and to
put up some new warehouses. The
contemplated improvements will cost
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
The contractor who was to tear
down the ruins Of Kristianborg palace
tailed, but new company was organ
lied for finishing the job.
; The program for King Fredrick's trip
TO Iceland has already been announced.
He is to leave Denmark July Fl, and
ne expects to stay in the Farce islands
July 24-27. Minister Hafstein will
meet him In the bay of Reykjavik, Ice
land, where he is expected to arrive
July 30. Two days later he will make
a trip into the country, after which he
will return to Reykjavik Aug. T. The
king, the members of the riksdag and

turn to Denmark Aug. 16.
1t was stated in the foreign depart
ment at Washington that nothing has
been done In an official way to revive
the old question Of having the Danish
West Indies sold to the United States.
This is quite natural. A few years ago
comprehensive negotiations were car
ried on for months, and just as every
thing seemed to be ready for closing
deal, involving a payment of about
$6,00O,0o0 by the United States for the
islands, the Danish house of lords
passed an adverse vote, sending the
whole proposition into the dim future.
: NORWAY.
Paris, May 3O.-An alarming acct
dent marred the visit Of King Haakon
and Queen Maud Of Norway to YER
sailles. Their majesties were accom-
panied by President and Nine. Fall
Heres. Queen Maud, Nine. Fallieres
and General Michel were in one Ian
uau drawn by four horses. AS the car
riage was crossing the low, narrow
bridge in the park that leads over
Lake Marie Antoinette to the Swiss
village, the horses became frightened
and commenced plunging furiously.
The bridge is without rails, low stone
copings taking their place. First one
horse fell into the water, and the con-
tinued plunging of the others carried
two more over the side of the BRIDGE
the Positions went with them. Cen
eral Michel, realizing the danger, burst
open the door of the landau and halt
helped, half carried the queen and the
= wife of the president out of the car
riage and to the end Of the short
bridge. Just as the women were in
safety, the oscillating carriage followed
the horses into the lake. Shouts from
the positions alarmed King Haakon
and President Fallieres, and they
FASTENED back. The king threw off his
hat and coat and was ready to leap
into the water, but this was not neces-
sary. The women were not hurt. The
water under the bridge is not deep.
One Of the animals had two legs brok-
len and was at once killed. AS a souv-
,enir Of their visit the French govern
ment presented the Norwegian majes-
ties a Gobelin tapestry, some fine en-
cravings from the Louvre and several
iSevres vases.
w., Fritz Thoulow's paintings were sold
at auction in Paris for 100000.

Cally Monrad, Norwegian lady
gave two concerts in Stockholm, and
so completely did she captivate he1
audience that at the second concert
she was called out 80 times.
Ole Theobaldi, violinist, is going
to be the business manager Of the
Dovre male chorus of Minneapolis
which is to give concerts this summer
in about 80 Norwegian cities.
It is proposed to put automatic aex-
tinguishers on the street lamps Of
Kristiania so that one needs only ia
press a button in order to put out all
the street lights at any moment. II
is estimated that this arrangement will
save $4,000 year in gas.
A man burnt to death on the street
in Kristiania. A young man who was
working in a factory wanted to light
!" his pipe on the street. But his clothes
which were covered with varnish and
benzine, caught fire, and in an instant
the man was wrapt in flames. He was
burnt so terribly that he died shortly
afterwards.
The Young Peoples Social Demo.
cratic Union Of Kristiania passed
very radical resolution, denouncing re.
7 Iigion and mil1tarism. The resolution
stirred up SO much bad blood that thu
central committee of the Norwegian
4 labor party found it necessary to dis
avow all responsibility for the caper!
of the young Socialists" The Of
fetal newspaper of the Social Demo
cratic party has also taken exception
4 to the agitation against military serv
ice, declaring that it is immoral an,
detestible to try to induce people t,
refuse to serve in the army and by tina
a very refusal to incur legal punishment
6a The same paper also argues against
national strike.
d Knut Hamsun's lecture against tn

steps to sue her for libel.
