NORWAY.

Norway has found a good market
for lumber in Brazil.
Prof. McCracken, the American pro-
fessor who has been lecturing at the
universities of Scandinavia, quoted
King Haakon of Norway as saying:
II have found colony of Socialists,
poor workingmen, in the north of Nor
way, who told me all property should
be equally divided. I said to them,
Suppose that at II o'clock on Friday
we divide the wealth of Norway as
you suggest; within five minutes
there will have been a number of
babies born in the country; and shall
we then divide again with them?
They had not thought even as far as
that, and the proposition floored them
could black my own boots if l
wished to. I have done it, and there
fore know how; but if l did, what
would become of the people who make
living backing boots? I believe
in a division of labor Prof Nc
Cracker further said about the young
ruler: King Haakon of Norway, with
whom my son and myself lunched,
impressed me as being a man of un-
usual intellect. He displayed a knowl-
edge Of political economy and allied
sciences which would easily qualify
him for professorship in an Ameri-
can university. On the day before
the luncheon given in our honor l
met him informally and discussed
many topics at length with him. Upon
all of them he was able to talk with
unusual intelligence, and apparently
from first hand information. He had
thorough knowledge of the emigra-
tion problem which his country is
facing, and when told him that the
Norwegian immigrant was welcomed
as settler in America he expressed
regret that so many of them should
come here and said that he hoped to
| check the exodus of his subjects to
the New World. He is student of
modern conditions, of modern times,
and seemed much worried over the
growth of Socialism in Norway"

was uculcu.
A labor conflict in Stockholm ef-
fected 10000 men in the building
trades. The employers want to cut
down the wages on account of the
hard times, and the employees want
shorter hours with the old scale of
wages. Both parties are denounced
by the press. Both parties claim to
be willing to negotiate.
A short while ago the newspapers
contained an article about the con-
dition of the Norwegian navy at the
critical period of the dissolution of
the union. Now this has been prop.
erly supplemented by an account of
the Swedish navy at the same period.
The naval forces collected along the
west coast of Sweden in the summer
of 1905 consisted of "A ships, includ-
ing eight armored gunbOats, four tor
pedo cruisers, two chasers, "a tor
pedO boats and two monitors. There
was perfect unity in the command of
the Swedish navy, while in the Nor
wegian navy the Admirals Spare and
Borresen were always at odds. The
crews of the Swedish ships had been
in service since April, and they had
extra torpedo and target practice that
spring. The men were so we'll drilled
that no counterpart could be found in
the Swedish navy during the past one
hundred years. The results of the
target practice were fully satisfac-
tory. AS compared with foreign
navies, that of Sweden has but little
to learn with regard to practical meth
DDS. The Swedish navy was ready for
action all summer, the steam being
kept up continually, so that every
thing would have been ready for &C.
tion upon an hours notice. Not a
single ship was unserviceable, and so
we'll was the equipment cared for
that the navy was really in better
fighting trim at the close than at the
beginning of the campaign. The men
were enthusiastic, and obeyed orders
with exemplary promptness. At the
most. critical point orders were given
to sail north in the night, and every
man was in high spirits, ready to
show once more ''how the Swedish
steel cuts" Lovland, former premier
of Norway, also admitted that the
pressure exerted by the Swedish navy
dictated in many respects the pro.
visions of the Karlstad treaty.

triumps at Covent Garden, has been

with an offense against the eleven
year-old daughter of Milanse family
which had accorded him hospitality.
The singer stoutly protests his inno-

Signor Venturini is widower, for
ty years of age, and is the father of a
boy of sixteen and girl of fourteen,
who are at college in his native town
of Ancona. AS the authorities refuse
to grant bail, the slowness of justice
in Italy renders it probable that the
famous singer will be constrained to
cancel his engagement to sing in
New York the coming season.
