tics as we'll as opportunities for care
ful and exacting seamanship in waters
which to many American naval men
are comparatively new. Above all,
the fleet has practically finished the
trip without an untoward incident of
consequence and has arrived at Mag
dalena bay over two days ahead of
her schedule time. Naval officials
say there is general cause for con-
graduation over the manner in which
the fleet has completed its voyage, a
trip on which it was started with the
parting best wishes of the president,
and which will be welcomed at
the Golden Gate city by Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf.
Under very favorable weather con-
ditfons target practice at Magdalena
bay may be finished by the end of the
present month. A certain amount of
work is set out for each ship to do.
If the wind comes up or other me-

necessarily will be postponement of
the firing at the targets and a conse-
quent delay in finishing the practice.

Baron Erland Nordenskiold has

Southern Sweden is importing 800

The Stockholm bakers union has

The Swedish government has let
the contract for building a new de-

at Malmo. The vessel is to cost $780,

home industries.
Knut Wallenberg stated in the riks-
dag that the private banks of Sweden
were owing $2S,O0O,O00 to foreign
banks at the time of the crisis last
fall. Most of the money had been
borrowed for short periods of time,
and this debt was reduced to $751;
100000 in a short time It was main
ly this sudden drain that caused the
money stringency in Sweden.
About two-thirds of the beet grow
ers of Sweden have definitely declined
to accept the offer made by the sugar
trust, and unless the trust offers u
higher price the sugar output of this

and dig the beets will be hit hardest
by the change. 1t is estimated that
their earnings will be reduced by at
least $1,500,O0O.

Total length of cruise from Hampton

San Diego, CAL, Mar. 13.-Rear Ad-
miral Evans and his battleship feet
virtually completed their remarkable
voyage around the western hemi-
sphere Thursday. Four days ahead
of time and in condition better than
in which they left the Atlantic, the
16 vessels arrived at Magdalena bay,
where target practice is the order.
News that the ships are in Magda-
lena bay so early comes as a surprise.
The itinerary of the long voyage, be-
ginning with the start from Hampton
Roads December 16, did not provide
for arrival there before Sunday.
1t had been known for several
weeks that the "big sixteen" would
arrive at it's practicing ground ahead
of time, but it was not expected that
such an excellent showing as this would
be made. The important fact about it
is that most of the four days gain in
time was made on the last stretch Of
the voyage, from Callao. Previous
to the visit at that port the fleet kept
to schedule.
Ships in Fine Condition.
It is reported on good authority that
an official message was received from
Admiral Evans at the local wireless
station Wednesday night, to be trans
mitted to Washington. Admiral
Evans is said to have reported that he
arrived at the bay with all the ships
in even better condition than when
they sailed from Hampton Roads, and
that he is ready for any emergency
that may arise.
The eyes of all naval officials, near
ly every citizen of the United States,
and even of the entire world, were ex-
pectantly awaiting reports from the
terminus of the long voyage as to the
effects it had on the ships Now that
word has been received that the fleet
is in even better condition than at
the time it started on its long cruise,
the great undertaking is shown to
have been crowned with success.
Target Practice in Order.
Target practice will be begun by
the fleet just as soon as the targets
are set up. 1t is expected that this
will be done Saturday or Sunday, and
that the battleships will begin practice
the first of next week, when they
will go after world records in target
work. The task of towing the targets
for the fleet will be done by the trans

will be given the men for shore leave,
and the effort will be made to give
them all the leave that is possible
after their long trip from Hampton
Roads. There will be plenty of oppor-
tunity for the men to enjoy them
selves, particularly in fishing, and it
is said that the waters of the bay
are rich in rock cod, yellow tail and
Spanish mackerel. Conditions under
which firing is allowed at Magdalena
bay are that there are to be no armed
parties allowed on shore, no flags are
to be hoisted on the beach and the
firing must not be directed towards
the shore.

Duluth.-The grand jury in making
its report recommends that the city
authorities take the necessary steps
to abolish public dances in so far as
practical, as it has been found that
they are, as rule, of demoralizing
character. 1t is recommended that
the Armory building which is owned
by the city, be no longer rented for
such purpose. It is urged that the
council take action by amend
ing the charter, or by adopting an
ordinance to accomplish the general
adjustment of public dances. The
city also is urged to take action against
hotels of immoral character.

Carl Ewald, a very productive nov
elist, died at the age of 81 years.
Some of the most famous and ex-
pensive paintings made by English
artists have been exhibited in Berlin
and now they are to be taken to
Copenhagen at the request of Queen
Alexandra. It is said that the owners
did not like this latter move, but
they could not very we'll thwart the
wishes of the queen.
A prominent French architect here
has been asked to submit plans for
a small castle in classic style to
Queen Alexandra of England, who has
just bought a stretch of land on the
island of Corfu near the town of Pc
leka. 1t is the intention of the Eng
fish queen to build small palace on
the island where she and the king
may spend part of the winter each
year. Queen Alexandra always had
hoped to be able to buy the Achilleion
after the death of Empress Elizabeth
OF Austria, and she was very much
disappointed when it was sold to the
kaiser. Queen Alexandra's palace will
be about two miles from the Achil-
leiOn. AS the king Of Greece also
possesses a small residence on Corfu,
it seems that this little island is de-
stined to become meeting place for
the mOnarchs of Europe.

The Social Democrats of Finland

which deserves attention on account
of it's novelty. They ask for what
they call maturity insurance" The
plan is to combine this form of in
surance with the old age and invalid
insurance. A certain amount per day
Is to be paid to the mother for six
weeks preceding and eight weeks fol-
lowing child birth, and this period
may be extended if either the mother
or the child is sick. It is proposed to
pay this insurance in case the COM
bined income of the father and the
mother is less than $4OO a year in a
place of cheap living, or $500 in a
place of costly living. Besides the
above insurance, the mother is also
to have the services of a midwife and
doctor free of charge.
