DEN MARK.

A report from Copenhagen says that
it is now asserted that Albert, the
former cabinet officer, misused his Of
fetal administrative power as minis
ter of Justice in the most reckless way
to make money. The public has al
ways thought this was the case, but
proof of it was lacking.
Alberti's son-in-law, Trepka Bloch,
who is the son Of the Danish painter,
Carl Bloch, and a well-known judicial
officer, has acknowledged in court that
he received large amounts of money
for assisting corporations and private
persons in obtaining privileges and
benefits from his father-in-lay, who,
regardless of all law and rules, award
ed drug store privileges, theater
licenses and other documents, pro
vided Bloch obtained enough money
S>r them.
On the other hand, if the applicants
did net ask for Bloch's assistance, it
was impossible for them to obtain
anything from Alberti notwithstand-
ing that they had the best of qualifica-
tons.
This is looked upon as the most SEN
sational development in the case: Pen
ming Matzen, the noted professor Of
international law, says it has become
necessary to summon a great state
court for the trial of Albert and his
colleagues in the cabinet.
The March elections this year were
of unusual Importance because of the
active participation of the women of
Denmark, who, for the first time, were
accorded the right to vote and TO seek
election to Office-that is to say, in
local or communal affairs They are
still disfranchised so far as national
or state affairs are concerned, and
consequently cannot vote for members
of the rigsdag. Owing to the slow
ness of the Danish statisticians, we do
not yet know how many women
awaited themselves of the right of suf-
frage last month. AS to the number
elected to Office a dispatch says that
in Copenhagen II per cent of the new
ly elected officials are women, and
that throughout the country per cent
are women
A rather unexpected result of the
elections is the falling off in the So
cialists in many cities where the new
propaganda has been firmly estab-
lished. In the rural districts, how
ever, the socialists made a better
showing, but on the whole they have
no particular reason for exultation
over the outcome.
