was beautiful during the morning, but
the air was snowladen. The sea was
quiet. The fishing boats were launch

MALTA at sea. While these were being
drawn up the fleet was oyeTtaken by
hurricane from the north with VIC
lent driving snow. The sea was i'm
mediately dashed into a fury. AS the
fleet consisted mostly of open boats,
1t was impossible for these to remain
at sea until the storm passed. They
were therefore compelled to set out
at once for the nearest shore Off Egg

men were lost The one capsized in
the open sea the other tipped over in
the breakers along the shore Ten
men were drowned. They leave Ave
widows besides the children.

one man was saved

yesterday was the worst at dis
lance from shore Two boats and
eleven men are known to be lost
Several boats are missing, probably
the fatalities will increase before an
other dawn
The following dispatch from Chris
tiania shows the preparations being
made for Theodore Roosevelt:
In the month of May comes Roose
Welt. According to report the legation
is endeavoring to prepare "a route for
a trip through Norway-May is not
the best time to travel through the
Norwegian valleys.
But trip over Bergensbanen would
give Roosevelt chance to see the
interesting natural sights under right
conditions even in May.
In case we get an early, warm
spring it might be possible to induce
Roosevelt to take trip through Gud-
brandsdalen-when trees burst into
blossom 1t is beautiful sight in the
balmy Norwegian valleys.
1t is to be hoped that Roosevelt will
get chance to satisfy his expressed
wish to get acquainted with Norway's
nature and it's folk life.
A dispatch from Christiania says:
The whole press of Norway prints
and comments on story copied from
the Norwegian-American papers to
the effect that the niece of member
of the stcrthing was abused and
kicked by New York millionaire in
whose house she worked as domes-
tic. The girl. whose name was Thor
bjorg, had to pass six weeks in a
hospital because of her injuries. The
case was taken up by the girls friends
and an association in New York after
it had been brought to the attention
of the Norwegian consulate there. 1t
has caused a sensation here because
