Norway may have second univer-
sity within a few years. According
to a dispatch from Christiania, the
budget committee of the storthing
has placed itself on record in favor OF
the projected university in Bergen.
A fund of $4,000 has already been
raised by private subscription on the
initiative of the Bergen museum, and
the Bergen city council has voted a
free site valued at 100000 crowns.
The plan for the new university is to
build it up gradually with the Bergen
museum as a nucleus. The museum
will celebrate its one hundredth ami
versary in ten years, and it is hoped
to have the department of mathemat-
les and science established when the
centennial is reached.

Vote Is 3S to 21-Ends One of
the Bitterly Contested Legis-

Official Term.
REVENUE BILL COMES NEXT
Shipping Measure Provides for
Government Board Which May
Acquire and Operate Ships for
Building Up American Mer-
chant Marine.

washington, Aug 1S-The government
shipping bill passed the Senate tonight
by vote of IS to q, ending one of the
most bitterly contested legislative
struggles of the Wilson administration.
In the last Congress the measure
preciptated a democratic revolt and a
filibuster which forced postponement of
many important bills but, revised so as
to minimize the government opera ton
feature the measure received to-day
unanimous democratic support and solid
republican opposition 1t already has
passed the House.
Passage of the bill paved the way for
ming next week. and revived the hopes
of administration leaders that the legisla-
tive decks might be completely cleared
for adjournment by September !. While
the Senate was disposing of the shipping
measure. the House agreed to three con
ference reports in the general legislative
clean up and, despite the Presidents veto
of the army appropriation bill. party
managers now believe all pending busi-
ness can be put through speedily.
The shipping bill provides for crea-
ton of n government shipping board
to acquire and operate ships for re-
Mobilization of the American merchant
marine and appropriates $50, 900, 900 for
that purpose to be raised by the sale
of Panama canal bonds. Several i'm
portant amendments were agreed to
Just before the final vote. among them
one by Senator Hoke Smith, which
would reduce the salary of the ship
ping board members from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. At the last minute
vain efforts were made by Senator
Borah to attach the immigration bill
to the shipping measure, He first Of
fered an amendment Incorporating
the literacy test section in a provision
to prevent transportation of aliens to
American shores. The amendment
was voted down. 20 to 80 He then
offered the entire immigration bill as
rider, and it was rejected 30 to 81.
Chairman simmons of the finance
lcommittee said tonight he thought
the revenue bill could he disposed of
by next Saturday night. 1t will be
called up Monday and republicans have
assured the chairman their opposition
speeches will occupy only two or three
days Tomorrow the Senate will de
