DEN MARK.
Copenhagen.

| King Fredrik's refusal to allow full
reports of court affairs to be published
10 Danish newspapers has engendered
much bitterness in newspaper circles.
They are now demanding from his
majesty the enjoyment of the same
privileges that they had during his
fathers reign. The fact that the king
has shown many signs Of late to devil
ate from the policy of his father, has
not heeu well received by the Danish
press. The Copenhagen newspapers
even threatened some time ago to boy
colt every scrap of news and declare
they will cease to print any reports of
great political Importance unless the
king will consent TO yield on this point.
The law for the determination of
rats went into effect July 1, 1907, and
in all parts of the country young and
old have been engaged in exterminating
the disease-carrying rodents. Accord
ing to the city authorities, it is es-
timated that from five thousand to six
thousand rats are killed every week in
the city of Copenhagen alone and about
fifteen thousand in the rest of the coun-
try. Since the beginning of the hard
times a good many laborers without
employment have adopted rat killing as
their ayocation and have killed from
fifty to seventy rats a day, thus earn
ing little pittance.
