NORWAY.

The storting dealt hard blow to
the temperance movement in Norway
by ratifying the French treaty which
provides that the tariff on French
wines containing less than 21 per cent.
OF alcohol shall be reduced from about
IL cents quart to about 9h cents
per kilogram e pounds). The vote
was 105 to IL. The storting pursued
this course on the ground that It
would make it easier to induce
French capitalists to invest money in
Norway. The temperance people will
no doubt try to stem the tide of cheap
French wines by means of the local
option laws.
The collision between the Norweg
ian steamer Edith and the British
steamer Oxford, which was briefly
mentioned in cablegram, occurred
between two and three o'clock in the
night, at the narrow entrance to the
Kristiania ford. Just before the COL
lisior the Edith gave the signal, II am
going closer to the Shore" But at the
same moment the Oxford signalized,
Go farther out from the shore" Both
OF them were steered according to the
signals each gave to the other, that is,
they turned towards the shore. They
were SO close together that there was
no time for change, and the collision
was terrific. The Oxford cut of the
back part Of the Edith, and the latter
went to the bottom in two minutes.
The engine did not stop, and as the
vessel went down its propeller, whirl-
ing wildly around, cut off a part of
the railing of the Oxford. The OK.
ford was also badly damaged, and
was grounded at once. Sixteen per-
sors were drowned, thirteen Of them
being Norwegians, two Swedes, and
one Russian. Boats were Immediate.

reasonable effort was made to save

QUAY STATUE SENT TO GOVERNOR.
Commissioners Tired Waiting for officials TO
Decide on Site.

PHILADELPHIA Aug es-The $4,000 Quay statue
cording 10 a dispatch from Harrisburg has been
consigned 20 Governor Stuart. az the president OF
the Board OF Public Buildings and Grounds. David
H Lane as chairman OF the monument commits
sion asked Kari Bitter. the sculptor. by wire yes
terdAy 10 pack up the long completed statue and
dispatch IL by fast freight 10 Governor Stuart at
Harrisburg.
The statue has been completed for nearly two
years The act OF the Legislature OF 1905 authorized
the Board OF Public Buildings and Grounds. in
conference with the statue commission. 10 decide
on its site the spitol grounds They failed 20
the commission. To make the burden OF action
more mandatory the last Legislature passed a con-
resolution which specifically commanded
the board tO accept the statue in the name OF the
Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania, and place Il In a
suitable position n the rotunda OF the State
Capitol"
This resolution passed May II last. The
board held meeting after meeting and finally ad-
3ourned for the summer two weeks ago without
complying with the law.
This attitude angered the statue commissioners.
The sculptor had completed his work two years
ago, and g. 500 was still owed him. He threatened
suit. and Mr.. Lane asked Governor Stuart 10 de-
wise some way OF paying Mr.. Bitter while the
board had the matter under consideration Attor
ney General Todd asked for opinion
whether this money could be paid before the statue
actually in place. He left on his vacation
without giving the desired opinion.
The Republican leaders feared that the Demo
Gratis would make campaign issue out OF the
delay. They implored the board 70 comply with the
act IN which the members had no discretion, but
were fully instructed by the resolutions what they
must do
Finally after the Board OF Public Buildings and
Grounds refused give the commissioners any
idea when they would accept statue and decide
on the exact place Of it's erection In the rotunda,
the commissioners came TO the decision to forward
Il 10 Harrisburg.
