in Wang, Valders, Norway, in the thir-

was to be torn down and replaced by
a modern structure, but King Fried
rich Wilhelm w. of Prussia, bought it
and had it transported to the noun
tain valley mentioned at the head of
this paragraph. He paid $50 for it,
but by the time it was ready for use
in the new place he had paid out about
$4,000. 1t is now used by congre-

ICELAND,

BJarm JOnSOn, prominent Ice
landic politician, gave lecture on the
politics of his country in Stockholm
a short while ago. and the general
drift of his discourse was most inter-
esting. He pleaded the cause Of the
party of independence, and did not
even hesitate to dip into the inter-
national politics of Europe. The con-
troversy which for a long period was
kept going between Iceland and Den
mark resulted in limited autonomy
for Iceland, and the latter now has a
legislature of her own. But Iceland,
the speaker said, was entitled to this,
and he secuted the idea that Den
mark had granted" Iceland a legis-
lature He further maintained that
Iceland is not an inseparable part of
Denmark. 1t is claimed that Iceland
cannot afford to be independent, and
that Denmark pays Iceland subsidy
of $4,000 year. The speaker point
ed out that this amount is only inter-
est to which Iceland is entitled, and
he went to the other extreme by stat
dependent. What Iceland claims is,
that it is an independent country hav-
ing king in common with Denmark.
The speaker believed that the Danes
would agree with the Icelanders on
this point if they only understood
their demands. But the Danish press
is unfavorable to the Icelanders, and
for that reason he was going to have
the matter discussed in the press of
the neighboring countries. He started
in Sweden, and he proposed to go to
Germany and Norway afterwards. He
did not apprehend any serious political
complications on account of his ap-
peal to outsiders. He admitted that
Iceland has only $4,000 inhabitants,
and Denmark might consider it tri-
fling matter to absorb such small
country But he would tell the Danes
that Germany has right to apply
the same reasoning with regard tc
Denmark.

Savage.-For the first time in har>

several weeks of cabled negotiations,
Cresceus, 2:021, champion trotting
stallion of the world, has been sold by

minent of Russian horsemen, Tsheme4
rzin by name, and resident of St.
Petersburg, for $25,0O0. The famous
stallion will be shipped across the
water some time during the first part
of May.
The closing Of this deal is the cul-
mination of a series of interesting I'M
cidents extending over the past three
years, and is the result of very perse.
vering efforts on the part of a group
of Russian horsemen to get possession
of the great son Of Robert McGregor.
