DEN MARK,

The Danish minister to Great Bril-
tain, NJ. De Billie, and his American
wife, were given a farewell dinner by
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid. NJ. De
Billie has been the dean of the diplo-
matte corps in London for eighteen
years.
The Albert scandal gave "The
Grocer an English newspaper, an
opportunity to deal blow to the
Danish farmers cooperative unions.
Alberti, by means of his prominent
position in the farmers butter ex-
port union and the farmers savings
bank, ruined both, and caused the
loss of millions of dollars to the
Danish farmers. The Grocer points
to this disaster as proof that it is
too unsafe for farmers to NEEDLE with
the export trade and with banking
business. The paper claims that no
matter how circumspect the farm
ers are they cannot control those
branches of trade because they lie
beyond their legitimate sphere of &C.
ton. The Danish farmers; however,
are not going to lose much sleep over
the warnings of The Grocer. Almost
10000 farmers and others have raised
money for a new savings bank, and
in the worst of times they are out to
make arrangements for selling their
butter in England without the use
of middlemen.
London, Dec. 1.-The United King
dom, together with other portions of
the British empire, paid the custom.
AIRY tribute to Queen Alexandra on
the occasion of her birthday It was
the queens sixty-fourth anniversary.
Greetings from all parts of the world
were received, flags were displayed
everywhere and there were the usual
salGtes at the naval and military sta
tons. Queen Alexandra spent the
day at Saldringham, where there
was an unusually large gathering Of
the royal family in celebration of the
occasion. Queen Alexandra is in ex-
cellent health. Despite her. sixty
and-four years and the fact that she
has nine grandchildren, her majesty
still retains her youthful beauty.
King Edward has aged far more
rapidly than has his gracious con
sort. AS the, years have rolled on
the queen has kept her figure and
her freshness, her grace Of move
ment, her smooth cheek and full,
bright eyes, and at three score and
three drives out with the king, look
ing very much like an eldest daughter
instead of a wife but eighteen months
his junior.

Campaign Funds.

Minneapolis. S. Swenson, treas.

committee, has filed with the auditor
of Henneptn county a financial state.
ment showing that the campaign re-
ceipts and expenditures of the COM
mittee were $22,314.49, and that the
committee is in debt to the extent of
$1,5O4.66. The statement is brief,
and lawyers say that Mr.. Swenson
and the treasurers of the different
campaign committees in Hennepin
county who have filed statements
with the county auditor have failed
to obey the provisions of the state
law and are liable to prosecution for
misdemeanor.
The state law provides, in section
25S of the code, that the treasurer
Of a political committee shall prepare
and file with the auditor of the
county in which he resides "a true
and detailed statement, subscribed
and verified by him, setting forth
each and every sum of money by
him received or disbursed for such
purposes, the date of each receipt and
disbursement, the name of the per-
son from whom received or to whom
paid, and the purposes of each. Such
statement shall also contain a detail
ed list of the unpaid debts, if any,
of such committee, with the nature
and amount of each, and to whom
owing; and, if there are no such
debts, the statement shall so allege."
The code makes failure to file the
account required by law a misde-
