to the long list that already decorates
Colonel Roosevelt's name. when the
University of Norway gave him the hon

him and he received a second treat

Most of the afternoon was spent be-
fore an open CRATE fire at the palace,

There is no denying the fact that
Roosevelt has taken great liking
to Haakon, whom he considers tn
teiligent. progressive and democratic.

Went Through Like Flash.
Washington, D. c., June 18.-As
soon as the statehood bill was laid be-
fore the House there were demands
for vote without discussion. Lloyd,
of Missouri, spoke for few minutes
in which he said he was not wholly
satisfied with the Senate bill but in
order promptly to insure statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico, he was
ready to vote. Hamilton, of Michigan,
moved to concur ih the Senate amend
ments. "Vote, vote, vote!" cried a
hundred members from either side of
the House. With only few minutes
devoted to further debate, the Sen
ate amendments were agreed to unan-
mously by viva voce vote.
