NORWAY.

The proposition to establish Scan.
dinavian-American steamship line met
with a rather lukewarm reception in
Sweden, and the shipping interests
at Bergen, Norway, have always been
looking for a Observation-Disclosures
line. Those obstacles prevented the
realization of the plan, and during
the last few weeks the Norwegians
have started fresh movement in
favor of purely Norwegian line. 1t
is realized that such line will have
hard fight, and the promoters are
figuring on government aid. They
have already accomplished something
by inducing the storting to resolve
by unanimous vote to- suggest to
the cabinet that subsidy be granted
such line. Some of the speakers
were so enthusiastic that they ex-
pressed the hope that the matter
could be arranged even during the
present session Of the storting. For
eign Minister Christoffersen, who is
an experienced man of affairs, said
that he was strongly in favor of a
Norwegian line. The original plan
was to acquire four steamers and
TO run one each way every week. But
as this would require a capital of at
least $5,0O0,000 and a government SUBJ
sidy of $250.000 a year, it has been
proposed to cut down the service
from a weekly to a fortnightly one,
which would require only one-half of
the above amounts. AS might be ex-
pected, the Danes who are running
the old Danish-American line are far
from pleased with the prospect of
having Norwegian competitor. The
Copenhagen Nationaltidende voices
their sentiments in the following Ian.
guage: I'VE Danes have some rea-
son to figure on the possibility of
the plan being realized. But we have
no reason to begrudge the Norwe-
gians their line. Even II it Is subsi-
died by the state. it will have to
carry on a hard fight against it's CON-
petitors. Certain contributors to Nor
wegian newspapers are mistaken
when they state that the trans-Atlan-
tic pool is not opposed to a Norwe-
gian line. On the contrary, the pool
will fight such line might and main.
The English lines are at present TAX
ing charge of at least three-fourths
of the Scandinavian emigration,
therefore they will not let this be
cut down because the Norwegians
want line Of their own, and they
will surely put up fight that will
cost millions of kroner. At the same
time it will naturally injure the
Danish-American line, and the latter
ought to be subsidized by the govern
ment in order to be able to compete
with the Norwegians on equal terms"

TIED TO TOMBSTONES
Two Cotton Belt Call Boys Were the Victims of Terrifying Expsri-
 rnents.

Texarkeua, April 1.-D i s. guised as gho5's iu white sheets unknown parties at an early. hour Wednesday morning, seized two of the Cotton Belt call boys, aud led them protesting and pleading 10 one of the most re- mote spots of the Rose Hill cemetery, where they separated and bound them secur,ly with ropes to two of the largest tomt- stones they could find in the locality.
 This done, the jokers (who are supposed to be employees of the Cotton Belt yard office) left the two struggling youths, overcome by fright and terror, to free themselves as best they could. It was silent and lonely, the moon was sinking. and 10 the excited and terrified mind of the victims, every changing shadow assumed the proportions of spook or ghost. Weak and irem bling with fear the two hoys tugged at their fastenings for nearly an hour before they succeeded in freeing themselves, then they took tn their heels and did not stop until they had gained the yard office, where they gasping- ly narrated their experience to the office force.
 Those connected with the yard office are supposed to have been at the bottom of the aff air, and to have planned it in ord 1T to cure the two boys in their aver sion 10 the cemetery which they have to pass several times each night on their way 10 and from the roundhouse. Heretofore they have been going out of their way in order to avoid 1t, aud taking ue too much of the company s time. It is thought that the yard office force decided that II the boys had little familiarity with the grave yard It would remedy all this and spare them many inconvenience. From the way tue boys tell of if, however, lit will have just the opposite effect. From now on they may be depended upon to widen the circle around the cemetery when on their way to and from the | round house.
