SWEDEN.

The recent trouble tina. Sweden has
had with England over cotton has
made a queer situation in that coun-
try. Immense consignments of baled
cotton to Sweden aroused the suspt-
cions of England, and in response TO a
question the Swedish government
stated that this cotton was destined
for her mills but refused to tell where
it was to go after being manufactured.
England then began stopping cargoes
of cotton destined for Swedish mills
and Sweden retaliated by refusing TO
allow Russian shipments of cotton to
pass through, tossing the bales from
the trains as they were in transit, un-
til now trains to Russia pass through
solid walls OF haIed cotton for miles
and miles and the scene resembles
nothing so much as the sunny South
during harvest season.

NORWAY.

With its masts blown out by gales
its captain and crew exhausted from
long strain, the Norwegian ship Sou
verain is in quarantine at Diamond
Point after voyage of 16l days from
Liverpool to Puget Sound. The log
of the trip sounds like a tale OF a
century ago. Sailing in ballast from
Liverpool June is, the Souverain
started its voyage for the Columbia
river, coming by way of the Cape of
Good Hope. In the South Atlantic it
experienced eyeral hurricanes, but
came through these safely and round
ed Good Hope in 40 days after leaving
Liverpool. A shortage of fresh pro-
visions resulted in an outbreak of beri-
beri. Seven members of the crew
were attacked by the disease and on
November l one of the Eailors died
and was buried at sea. On November
9 the Souverain managed to put into
the port of Ensenada. Mexico. and
fresh food was obtaiced. Captain
Svendsen. the second officer, and four
of the crew went ashore in the ships

fresh meat was purchased and placed
In the boat, but when the men were
about to return they we're placed I'M
der arrest. the provisions taken out
and the boat hauled up on the port
pier. Captain Svendsen and his men
were taken to Jail. where they spent
an uncomfortable night and slept with
out bed or covering. No explanations
were offered other than they were re-
garded as highly suspicious persons.
Next morning the British vice-consul
interested himself in the matter, and
through his efforts the men were re-
leased and permitted to take their sup
plies to the ship. The change in food
worked wonders for the beriberi vic
tins. and they began to improve at
once. The Souverain sailed from En-
senada November 10. reaching the Co
lumbia lightship Thanksgiving after
noon. On that day the Souverain en-
countered a severe southern gale. The
vessel found it impossible to negotiate
the river bar. The wind practically
stripped 1t of its sails before 1t reached
its destination.
