Of the Scandinavian country much
might be written of interest, but l may
be pardoned if l speak but generally
OF this unique land, and mention but
three of her principal cities. To me it
has peculiar charm-the land of my
birth-washed by the tides of the
Twin seas it is quietly pursuing the
arts of peace; but the ravages of an
cient wars are yet to be seen in the
feudal ruins and wrecked battlements
which remain to this day.
Of it's people I feel that your read

you one picture showing the dress OF
those living farthest north. On the
enc hand stretches the peninsula OF
Denmark, close by old Germany; on
the other Russia, gigantic and power
full covetous of our riches and fertile
fields and valuable forests; and to the
weslv ard majestic England, jealousy

is divided into two parts, konwn as
the Upper and Lower Towns; the
Lower Town being intersected by
numerous canals bordered by fine
trees and crossed by many bridges
which are indeed picturesque; the
Upper Town being characterized by
regular streets and substantial stone
houses.

finest of which is the Norrbro measur-
ing about 400 feet in length by about
60 feet in width and built of solid
stone arches; although a city of ca
nails, it is nevertheless a beautiful
city with public gardens, broad
squares and gay cafes, the most con-
spicuous building here being the Royal
Palace, which was the favOrite abode
of our beloved King Oscar II.
1t is a charming place to visit in the
summer time; the people spend as
much time as possible in the open air;
beginning at any early hour and con-
tinuing until after midnight, gaiety
reigns supreme from the middle of
June until the end of August, for then
at that latitude there is almost no
darkness and the long summer even
ings marked by silvery light that
never wanes, but merely brightens
with the dawn, are even more enchant-
ing than the days and it is this fea-
ture which makes the far-famed Mid
summer celebrations the delight of all
Scandinavians and makes them long
to beat home at that time of year.
Christiania, the capital of Norway,
is beautiful city, situated in an open
valley at the head of the Christiania
ford. The bay is unsurpassed in
beauty; it is bordered by finely
wooded hills and it's surface dotted by
grassy isles mirrored in deep green
waters; here is the seat of govern
ment, where the strothing, or parlia-
ment meets. Here, too, we find a
royal palace surrounded by splendid
park containing miniature lakes and
canals and charming groves. 1t is
called the Royal Garden and open to
the public at all times. AS elsewhere,

Mr.. Hearst and New York.

There is much discuSsion-and ii is well
worth while-about the probable strength
Of the independence party in New York,
Illinois and Indiana. In two of those
states Mr.. Hearst publishes newspapers
with large calculations, and in the other
he has strong organization even with
out a newspaper. All three states are
important in this campaign and are being
fought for by the two old parties with
might and main.
Until now the independence party has
weighed but little in the scale. The
nomination of Mr.. Hisgen gave the move

parochial politician and merchant, he
did not seem to meet the occasion if any
thing really momentous this year was
contemplated. 1t was doubted If he could
rally enough supporters to save the
movement from ridicule.
Opinion was general that Mr. Hears,
himself should have been the nominee

would have given it the necessary prestige

1t is suggested that detonations may DC
heard as early as tomorrow night, when
the independence party in state conVen-
ton will nominate a full state ticket 1ol

Bryan for the latter's refusal to support

To this charge Mr.. Hearst makes nc

White House or even at the War Depart
ment, but to the outsiders it is enveloped
in fog. Col. Stewart seems to have given
prompt obedience to the orders of his
superiors and has never publicly uttered
complaint. 1t would appear that the
President or the authorities at the War
Department want to punish this man and
force him out of the service. If he is I'M
fit to command it is but just that he
should be separated from the service.
Temperamentally unfit to command"
is haZy. 1t is a charge that might rest on
ones personal opinion or personal feeling.
1t is not specific. What has this man
done? In what way has he offended?
Why is he unfit to command? If he
abuses enlisted men. as has been limited.
he could be tried by court-martial and
punished in the prescribed way. If he is
too familiar with enlisted men and fails
to maintain discipline. he could be reached
by military law. If he is hard drinKer.

misconduct, commits actions unbecomng
an officer and a gentleman or does not
know the artillery business. he could be

The puzzle to the reading public Is that
an officer of the army can be deprived of
command. publicly Inundated and Sc
verely punished without having definite
charge made against his skill as q SOL
dier or his honor as a man. The case
looks unmilitary.

Taft Begins His Stunning.

Last night Judge Taft made what may
be called his debut as stumper. He
formally opened his campaign before an
enthusiastic crowd at Cincinnati. and the
press report of his speech gives an idea of
what may be expected of him on the
journey which began this morning. He
has opened in the right key to insure at
tention both from the public and from
Mr.. Bryan. He insists that his opponent S
record is as legitimate for discussion as
his present promises. And that Is true.
If Mr.. Bryan was in error about public
policies in 1896 and again in 1900. may he
not be in error about the policies he is
now advocating? The inquiry is pointed
and fair, and Mr.. Bryan cannot very well
decline the discussion. He has his ex-
plantations of why he failed in those
years. and II he offers them again in reply
to Judge Taft he will add something to
the campaign. His opponent evidently
wants to hear from him on those scores
as well as on later scores.

years service in the army, and service of

The Courthouse Addition.

Mr. Elliott Woods. superintendent of
the Capitol. in an interview published in
The Star today corrects some misappre-
tensions concerning the court building to
be erected in Judiciary Square. The
alarm felt and expressed by a corre-
spondent OF The Star that Mr.. Woods
was proceeding in this matter hastily and
without due Difference to law and the
park trees, seems to have been without
solid foundation.
In the first place. Mr.. Woods says no
site in Judiciary Square has been finally
determined on, but he shows that the site
favored. and to which The Stars corre-
spondent expressed opposition. is the site
that would require destruction of the
smaller number of trees and would not
require the cutting down of one of the i'm
posing trees in the Colonial Walk. The
site he favors means. says Mr.. Woods, the
disturbance of six trees planted a few
years ago. Mr. Woods. himself friend
of trees, thinks that even these relatively
young trees may be transplanted.
The Stars correspondent alleged that
Mr. Woods was making ready to cut
down trees and turn up the turf before
an appropriation had been made for the
work. claiming that the public building
bill enacted at the last session of Con-
gress only "authorized' 100000 for the
addition to the court building of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The latter allegation
was correct: but it appears that under the
general deficiency bill enacted at the last
session of Congress $4,000 was appro-
priated for the work.
Another charge against Mr.. Woods was
that he planned to construct a detached
or independent building in Judiciary
Square instead of an addition contem-
plated by Congress. Mr.. Woods says the
plans contemplate building that will be
connected with the old court building by
an arcade and that the addition will
really be an integral part of the old
structure.

Washers to the Rock Pile.

The masher is not a popular man, and
II the Washington police carry out their
personal preferences they will drive him
off the streets. The work has been given
a good start by the recent arrests.
The masher is not confined to WASH
ington. He offends elsewhere. Here Is
a dispatch that may carry a pang and a
warning to every masher:
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-Unable to cope

Murphy-Mc Carren-Co.
From the Baltimore Sun.

According to a dispatch in the New
York Press, half million dollars is the
lowest estimate of the fund that will be
contributed by Wall street for the election
of Mr.. Chanler, the democratic candidate
for Governor of New York. This means
that If the democrats get control of the
state government the public service COM
missions for the regulation of railroads.
electric roads, gas and telephone COM
panies and other public utility corporations
will be abolished. The creation of these
commissions was due to the strong infiu-
ence and determination of Gov. Hughes
and as consequence the powerful and
wealthy corporations are, 1t is said,
strongly against the fearless governor
who, to use Mr.. Bryans phrase, puts
rings in their noses"
