Recent reports state that the cold
weather did not hurt the grain nearly
as much as was reported during the
past month. The winter grain all over
Denmark stood the strain well. Wheat
suffered worst, but even that is now
fast recovering. The oat and potato
crop is looking very fine indeed and
farmers are well pleased with the
present outlook
A Danish correspondent from Ice
land states that there was much warm
er weather on the island few DAYS
ago than in Paris or London. Not for
many years have they experienced
such heat in Iceland and it will soon
earn the reputation of being both the
coolest and the hottest spot on earth.
Danish sugar factories had last year

the sugar beet industry is in a very

portant industries of the country.

NORWAY.

Norway has explained her position
IN full on the question of jurisdiction
OF Spitzbergen and Bear Island in a
note to Belgium, Denmark, the United
States, France, Holland, Russia, Eng
land, Sweden and Russia. The note
is intended as program for the diplo-
matte negotiations, which are said will
take place in Christiania in the near
future. The Norwegian government
adheres to the principle that the pres
ent political status of the islands
ought 70 be maintained, that is, the
Islands sholl not be looked upon as the
property of any particular country, but
Shall be open to citizens of all coun.
tries. The time for the conference
cannot, however, be fixed until the
foreign governments have had time to
become acquainted with the Norwe
glan vote. The governments of all the
countries mentioned have consented
to take part in the conference.
The announcement has now been
made by Consul General Ravn, of New
York, that the proposed line of mail
steamers between New York and Ber-
gen, Norway, has been arranged for
only Norwegian and Norwegian,
American capital will be used. The
sum to be raised is $2,7O0.OO0, OF
which half has already been raised in
Norway. The Norwegian government
has also pledged an appropriation OF
Sl35,0 and the PROSPECTS for a profit
able operation Of the line are said to
be excellent. Consul E. H. Hobe, OF
St. Paul, Mimi, and R. With, of Chris.
tlania, are at present in New York to
complete arrangements. The proposed
line will make travel possible between
New York and Norway in less than
nine days instead of eleven as at
present.
Now is the time when every hotel
and inkeeper in Norway is busy. The
country is full of tourists, especially
from America, England and Germany.
There are also large number OF
French tourists in the country this
year. The tourist steamers are crowd.
