ELECTION OF HAAKoN.
Daniah Minister Throws Light on the
 Matter.

Danish MABAHhNA
 Matter.
 Copenhagen. Oct. 3l-Count Raben- 1evetzan. who retired a few days ago from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Anafrs. has cen interviewed by the representative of a Swedish newspaper and his conversation throws some new ana interesting light on the election of King Haakon to the throne of Nor way, in 1905.
 The information given by the former Foreign Minister was quite unknown hitherto, except. of course, to the very limited circle of persons who were dt- rectIy interested in the matter. Count Rahep says that In Sweden an entire lv false opinion prevails with regard to Denmark's action three years ago.
 Germany was anxious to place on the throne of Norway. either the Duke of AuRustenburg or the Duke of Glucks- burg. but this was impossible It was A question of Prince Charles of Den mark or a Republic.
 q had a conference about the mat ter with rince Bulow'' says Count Raben. and he at once stated that Germany would not like to see a Nor wegIan Republic. Thus, If Norway was tn avoid either a Republic or anarchy. the election of Prince Charles of Dem mark must have taken place. DynAs- tic reasons played no part in the act ion of Denmark. which was inspired only by the desire of preserving peace and concord in Scandinavia"
 The Norwegian papers are much dis satisfied with Count Raben's explana- ton. and state that the question of a monarchy or a republic was settled by a vote of the people, and. according to the information of NM Nicholson and | Loevland. without the exercise of any foreign influence

The estimate of 30,000,000 horsepower represents. however. energy equivalent to that con- taAned in 650,000,000 tons of coal, or fifty per cent in excess of the present annual production of coal. represent ing an expenditure of $2,000, 100000. At present the rights on navigable streams are granted by the government in per- petuity and without compensation. The present investigation into the ex- tent of the national resources may lead to an attempt to alter the form of grant so as to provide for compensa- ton to the people for the enormous value of the rights.
 While it's various guardians of the peace are squabbling. as to the best way of protecting their municipal patents. that patient in other words Father Knickerbocker-is suffering the usual result. Burglary and larceny crimes are becoming uncomfortably frequent, now totailing over 35.O00 an- nually. while the total value of these hauis Is nearly S16,o00.000. Brought down to daily basis New York has almost 100 robberies every twenty four hours. this being at the rate of one for every fifteen minutes day and night. Nor are these betsy affairs in which property of little value Is in- volved. The average value of each lot of loot secured by burglars and thieves Is S460 or more than any honest folks can earn in a year. Every hour marks the theft of s2,00o worth of property and every day nearly $50,000 worth. In spite of the fact that these rDpberies total 35.000 annually, the average annual number of arrests has been only 1.T46. or just about one in twenty. Of those arrested only one in four Is convicted, so that the chances In favor of the burglar would seem to be about eighty to one. It Is said that under the present police system only seven per cent of stolen property Is recovered.

COMBAT SOCIALISM. {,
Program of Union Outlined b,
 

Leader.
 London, Oct. S1-An Anti Socialist Union to combat socialism by the means employed in its spread has just been formed, with offices in Victoria Street Westminster. It's President MT. CIaud Lowther explains It's pro- gram thus:
 eve shall proceed on three main lines. First, We have established a school for the training of anti-Social- ists and all our speakers must matricu- late and graduate in that school. The standard works on socialism are being studied by the members already enrolled and every candidate for our platform will be subjected to a viva voce examination of a hundred ques- tions before being regarded as quali- fled. The class Is at present being conducted by Mir. Isaac Lyons, Secre- tary for twenty years of the North ern Union of Conservative Associations.
 Next there is a publications depart ment from which will be issued ar- ticles and pamphlets In answer to So- cialist publications In the third place there Is an intelligence department for the collection of Socialist literature generally, and for compiling statistics ana information to be placed at the service of our fighting force.
 HIn the course of a month or so kers of the union will be sent out alI over the country, and will take nart in by-elections where a Socialist candidate is in the field.
 Among others who have promised their support to the union are Lord T,ondonderry, Lord Burton, the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Rutland. Lord of Pyvie. Lord Ciaud Hamilton. or Andrew Noble. Lord Leconheld, Lord Bgerton, and a number of members of Parliament

COSTLY PARIsIAN GOWNS.
Left Overs Shipped to England for
 aaIR

Left Overs Shipped to England for
 Sale.
 London, Oct. 3L-A large consign- ment of costly Parisian gowns bearing the label of the most famous houses has arrived in England. destined for the "faking" rooms.
 That is to say, they are the left overs of other seasons: the discarded of English and American buyers, or models "overdone" on the other side of the Channel. and they are going to be made over" in English workshops to be sold in a new guise for three guiaeas and upwards.
 The rapidity with which sufficient al- terations to it the fashion are made proves how little fashions really change. The manipulation of a sleeve. the retrimming of q corsage, the clean ing of lace or net. or the elaboration of Q skirt, is frequently all that is needed. As for that, one modern Is readily made out of B. couple of the oldest-fashioned gowns. Dress agents and there are many now plying this trade in London--are the medium be- tween the ultra a-fashionable Paris mar ket and the slender-pursed English woman. The "unwanted" robes the agents receive are beautiful. There Is no doubt about that. Transformed by English workgirls they win soon cov- .ar. eYeExs range sf gewu from smart p8rectoiFe evening dresses to almy boudoir robes. Tailored suits are also included, and frequently coats and skirts of the latest cut material, and finish can be secured for the small price mentioned.
 Frequently s60 or $100 hat bear ing the name of a prominent Parisian miIliner, can be bought for s15 in London, owing to some slight damage (speedily remedied by the clever agents) that has thrown it among dis. carded goods. Furs and lingerie make another useful department of the agents business. 'Left-overs' which have just reached London include all the leading belts, such as sable, mink, ehinchilla and ermine.

 France has more than once been re- ferred to as a dying nation. The fact that the birth rate. which had been steadily declining for years, was In 1aO7 less than the death rate would seem on the face of 1t to justify the characterization applied. Still. loss of individual vitality does not appear to have accompanied the decline of the vital forces in the nation as whole.

about five miles up Spring Creek, and
gives promise of being producer In the

The lead is oyer forty feet wide and
it's length is not known, 1t is so great.
The outcrop Is sprinkled with mineral,
and has been assayed for gold silver
and lead, and makes a good showing
for surface dirt. Three tunnels have
bebn run, one distance of 10 feet, an
ther 60 feet, and the one which is being
driven now is about 20 feet, and it is
the one that has the best prospects of
reaching the main body of the ore.

bids fair to proceed and make The Rain
