Claims of the Norsemen to the Discovery of America. LEIF ERIKSON’S VOYAGES. “I was @ Viking bold.” ‘Thus spoke the skeleton in armor in Mr. Longfellow’s famous poem. Last night there was a talk before a large audience in this city that might have been @ seance with this identical Viking. It was the address of Capt. Magnus Andersen of Christiana, the man who built and sailed the Viking ship from Bergen to Chicago. The statement that Capt. Andersen would deliver an address on the subject of the Vikings before the National Geographic Society was enough to fill the bég hall of the Builders’ Exchange with an enthusiastic audience that listened for two hours with Pept attention to every word this hardy Norseman had to say. Long before 8 o'clock every seat in the hall was filled and when the time came for the lecture to begin the aisles were packed with people standing, and the crowd extended back into the cer- ridor in the rear of the hall. Capt. Ander- ser’s lecture was a bright and entertaining narrative of the early Vikings and from that point it came down to the accomplishments of the modern descendants of that sturdy race, as shown in their courage in building and manning an eighty-foot reproduction of @ Viking ship to send to Chicago. Leif Erikson's Trip. Much of the story of this interesting enter- prise was told in an interview with Capt. Andersen in The Star yesterday afternoon, but, of course, in a two hours’ lecture he nad @n opportunity to go over the ground a great deal more fully. A large portion of his lecture was concerned with the claims of Norway that Leif Erikson was the actual @iscoverer of the western continent, five centuries before the time Columbus crossed the Atlantic m his miniature fleet of car- avels. He told of the finding, by Prof. Horsford, of the site of Leif’s house at Ger. ry’s landing, and then went on to give a resume of the story and le, with this hazardous trip of jorseman to Greenland, or Vinland, as it was then known in the eleventh century. The lecturer presented an interesting fig- ure upon the platform. A representative of the Viking race, who has himself again and again braved the terrors of the sea in small boats, and who regarded his trip acros? in Capt. Andersen. the Viking ship as a matter of ttle conse- quence compared with some of the voyages he had made, Capt. Andersen, himself an un- conventional man, was arrayed in conven- tional evening dress. The story he had to tell of dangers met and avoided would have seemed out of place from such a man, were it mot for the fact that it is just such men as this, quiet and self-restrained, who do dangerous deeds. The lecturer was intro- duced by Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, president of the National Geographic Society. Mr. Hubbard stated that the society had ar- ranged for this winter a series of lectures that would be even more attractive than any held heretofore under the auspices of the society. This, the first lecture of the season, he thought would prove to be one of the best. In this he was right. Capt. Andersen had an interesting story to tell and he told it in a bright and humorous wa; The Story of the Viking Ship. Capt Andersen had as an added attraction to his lecture a beautiful series of steropti- con views which told even more clearly than words could have done the story of the Viking ship. He began his lecture by refer- ring to the claims of Norway that Erikson | discovered this continent in the year 1000. This, he said, is always taught the chil- dren in Norway as a fact, but he thought that in this. the Columbian anniversary year, it was not in the best of taste to refer HE WAS RESURRECTED.

A. FRANK BYRD. It should not be supposed that nis troubles began at once. They were, as most troubles are, of gradual growth. At first his head began to pain him, he felt unusually tired and had peculiar pains throughout his body and a general lack of interest in Ufe, especially for food. These troubles con- tinued and increased, until finally he consulted some of the leading physicians tm Baltimore. They made a carefal examination and found that he was suffering from chronic Bright's disease, and that of the worst order. They treated him with the most heroie medicines, many of them containing opiates and digitalis, but he grew no better. Re- turning home with the expectation of speedy death, he determined to make one final effort. He did so. and, although he was so greatly reduced, noticed & change for the better. This change continued, he improved steadily, and ts a well man today. wholly through the use of Warner's Safe Cure, the femedy that took him from the lowest denths of suffering Lack to a itfe uf health and strength.

In 793 the Northmen reached the islands north of Scotland and already before 82% the Faroe islands were discovered, and in the middle of the same century Iceland and about 900 Greenland were discovered, though the latter was not colonized before 986 by Erik the Red. To Greenland in 999. His son, Leif Erikson, sailed in 999 from Greenland to Norway, and as he made a mistake in steering, he got too much south and reached the Sodor islands first and went from there to Norway, where he en- tered into the service of King Olaf Trygva- son, with'whom he spent the winter in Ni- daros, mow Drontheim, where he was christened: He started for home the fol- lowing Speipe in the company of a priest, and stee! what was afterward looked upon as the regular route from Norway to Greenland, namely, to go between Fairy islands and Shetland; he must, however, have been overtaken by storms and brought out of his course, for after having drifted about for some time he reached an un- known land in the far west, where he found wild grapes and uncultivated cornfields. He hurried back to Greenland the same year and brought news home about this new land, which he called “Vinland” from what he found there; this resulted in two attempts being made to sail across and colonize it. Finding of the Viking Ship. After referring at greater length to the claims of Erikson, he told of the finding of the Viking ship which was used as a model for the one that was sent to Chicago. She was found in 1880 at Gokstad, near a small watering place called Sandefjord, situated The Viking. on the western side of Christianiafjord, in @ mound where, according to tradition, a king was buried with all his treasures. The ship was found to be in excellent preserva- tion, and she was safely got out by the aid of the Antiquarian Society in Christiania, and afterward acquired by the Christiania University, where she now lies for view as one of the finest specimens of antique curi- osity in the world. Here, at last, the actual character of vessels belonging to the Vik- ing period was brought to light, and though there may still be found in Norway some mounds near the coast containing ships, it is certain we shall not find any ves: which in respect of model and workmanship can outrival the Gokstad ship. How It Was Built. ‘The ship was not quite new when it was interred, as some wear can be found on the rudder and oars. It was bullt of oak, clink- erbuilt and compcsed of keel, stem and sternpost, frame timbers, beams, knees and external pianking. An interesting feature fs that the frames are not fixed to the keel, but Me free above it, and that iron spikes have been used to fasten the garboard to the keel and treenails to fix the uppermost planks to the knees, while all the interven- ing planking is tied to the frames by means of apertures at certain distances, partly in ledges on the frame timbers and partly in cleats scored into the substance of the plank itself, The ends of the beams rest on the top of the frames, where they are fitted on to the overlying lower limbs of the kiees and its continuation; and as both these are somewhat narrower than the beam, a ledge is formed on which the ends of the bottom boards rest. To support the mast a great oak balk is lald amidship and along the keel slotted to admit the frame, and again over this, a large oak block grooved to admit the beams; this block is fishformed as each end is shaped into a tail. Exact Counterpart of the Original. ‘The building of the new Viking had been a matter of no little responsibility. She was the exact counterpart of the original Vik- ing even to the number of iron bolts in her lapstreak hull. The cooking utensils were copted in large part after the pots and pans found in the old ship, and so cunning were the ancient workers in copper that it was hard to find blacksmiths in Christiania to- Gay to copy the designs. The table furnt- ture was not all of the rude type of the old Norseman, however, as was testified by a number of photographs of the china and silverware with which the ship was outfitted. ‘The Trip Across the Ocean. The trip of the little vessel down the coast of Norway was a continual ovation, the people coming from fifty miles in the interior to see her. The voyage over was not uneventful. Some rough weather was encountered, but after sleeping in their clothes for several days, the sailors gained confidence in their little vessel on weather- ing a severe storm, and took kindly to the reindeer hide sleeping bags that had been provided for them. The rudder on the side Proved an unexpected success, all went well and the trip was made with only four days when the regular three meals a day could not be served and eaten with an ex- cellent appetice. The final triumph of the voyage was when on crossing the banks, the little Vik- ing ran abreast of a fleet of American schooners, the best examples of the Ameri- can boat builder's craft in that line, and beat all but a few of them on every point of the wind. Their trip to Chicago was a long line of celebrations, and Capt. An- dersen expressed the hope that the friendly feeling displayed was only typical of the warm regard in which the two freest na- tions of the world should always hold each other, even as the two flags of Norway and America were twined together in the deco- rations of the Viking as she lay in the lagoon at the Chicago fair. Present to the Geographic Society. In conection with the meeting of the Washington Geographic Society last night the presentation of a valuable work was made to the society through its president. ‘This was an atlas of the Argentine Republic from the original surveys made by direction of the Argentine Institute of Geography, of which Dr. D. Estanislao 8. Zeballos, min- ister from the Argentine Republic to the United States,was president. The book was the personal gift of the minister. In his letter to Mr. Hubbard, Dr. Zeballos men- tioned the fact that another member of the institute at the time the surveys were mai and atlas published was at present in Washington, Col. D. Jorge Rhode. He is connected with the special commission from the Argentine upon the boundary contro- versy with Brazil, which is to be submitted to President Cleveland for arbitration. Dr. Zeballos is determined to make his country known to the officials and institutions of the United States, so far as lies in his power. MISS GERARD’S DIVORCE SUIT. She Says That She Married Harrison J. Wolfe Only in Pique. Miss Bettina Gerard, the actress, now Playing at the Academy of Music in New York, admits the truth of the statement telegraphed to yesterday's Star that she had sued Harrison J. Wolfe for divorce. Miss Gerard said last night: “It is true I was married to Wolfe, but it was only in Pique. You see, I love a man—no, I won't tell you whom—and we quarreled, and so when Wolfe, who had been very attentive, finally became urgent, I consented, and so we were married. Our marriage lasted just two days. I told the dear boy—he is a real nice, pretty boy—that it was all ab- surd our living together. I loved another and had married him only in pique. I asked him to let me get a divorce, and he said he would; so that’s all there is to it.” rabihelbnas ch According to the latest lable returns Russia has the largest prison population, 108,840; next comes India with 76,510, Italy with 68,828, Japan with 63,823, France with 00,836, the United States with 59,258 and Great Britain with 30,474.

A bill has passed the House which is de- signed to protect persons who furnish labor and materials to contractors engaged in the construction of public buildings. It is said that it frequently occurs that unprincipled contractors from the large cities bid upon government work in small towns, and un- derbid the local contractors several thou- sand dollars, subsequently getting even on the deal by defrauding local dealers out of ™aterial and decamping when the work is done, leaving large debts for material and labor. Congressmen Heard and Culberson happened to have cases of this kind occur in their districts, so they put their heads together and prepared a bill which was re- Ported from the committee on judiciary and hes passed the House. The bill is as fol- lows: That hereafter any person or tering into @ formal contract with United States for the construction of any public building, or the prosecution and com- pletion of any public work or for extensive repairs upon any public building or public work, shall be required before commencing such work to execute the usual with good and sufficient sureties, with the additional obligations that such contractor or contractors shall promptly make pay- ments to all persons supplying him or them labor and materials in the prosecution of the work provided for in such contrac! any person or persons making application therefor, and furnish! affidavit to the ceeertnent under the tion of which sald work is being. or has been, prosecuted, that labor or materials for the prosecution of such work has been supplied by him or them, and payment for which has not been made, shall be furnished with a certified copy of said contract and bond, upon which said person or persons supplying such labor and materials shall have a right of action, and shall be authorized bring suit in the name of the United States against said contractor and sureties and to prosecute the same to final judgment and execution: Provided, That such action and its prosecu- tion shall involve the United States in no expense. PULLED DOWN ENGLAND'S FLAG. en- the An Exciting Encounter at the Irish Village at the Fair. There was almost a riot in Lady Aber- deen’s village of Irish industries at the Chicago fair Saturday night. A second at- tempt was made by about fifteen Irishmen to pull dcwn the union jack, which has been floating from the tower of Blarney Castle in honor of Lady Aberdeen'’s husband, the governor general of Canada. The Izishmen gained access to the top of the tower and tore down the English emblem because they did not consider it ought to be unfurled in an Irish village. They were detected in the act by some of the village employes, and the guards drove the offenders out into the Midway. The Gang returred stealthily in a short time and climbed over one side of the fences. The guards were on the alert, however, 11 t- ing that another attempt would be le as soon as the flag was strang up ugain, and pounced upon the intruders. Then came the exciting part of the tcene. The gucrds summoned the patrol wagon and tried to arrest the whole number in the face of threats from a crowd of several thousand sympathizers who quickly gath- ered around the village. The wagon came on the double quick and the force of guards tried to cope with the anti-English visitors, They no sooner got one or two of their prisoners into the wagon than the men who pressed around it pulled them out. Three of the ringlead- ers were finally taken prisoners after a pitched battle of some minutes’ duration. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived at the vil- lage with his secretary just after the trouble had ended, and was very indignant THE RIGHT OF MAJORITIES. Senator Hill Speaks of the Deadlock im the Senate. Senator D. B. Hill of New York in ad- reusing the democrats of Brooklyn last evening said of the pending struggle in the United States Senate and the apparent ne- cessity for a change in the Senate rules: “I believe that a clear majority of the whole Senate, a majority made up of both democrats and republicans, are in favor of the unconditional and speedy passage of the repeal bill. I have been in favor of that course from the outset and I have not changed my position. “The Senate rules adopted in 1806, and substantially remaining unchanged from that date, together with the so-called ‘cour- tesies’ of the Senate, have each been in- voked to prolong discussion and to prevent final action. For myself, I do not hesitate to say that I am not profoundly impressed with respect to the traditions of the Senate. Most of them ought to be abolish- ed. They are only hindrances to the prompt transaction of public business, and are not adapted to this age of progress. “In the desperate effort to prevent or de- lay the passage of this bill the freedom of debate has been abused. Physical endur- ance rather than intellectual argument has been made the test of success. It has been shown that the existing Senate rules, which have come down to us from our fathers, are weak, defective and insufficient. It has been proven that under them it is impossi- ble for the majority to pass a measure to which a large minority strenuously objects, and for that purpose is willing to invoke the right of unlimited debate. It was open- ly avowed in the Senate that under the ex- isting rules the repeal bill would never be permitted to come to a vote. That was the clear, undisguised purpose of the opposi- tion. For one, I believed that it was the duty of the majority to no longer submit to the dictation of the minority, and I under- took last week to provide a remedy. ‘The Right to Change Rules. “If it was true, as asserted, that the rules gave such privileges to the minority as to erable them to prevent final action on a bill (as seemed to be the case), then I be- Neved the rules should be amended. Then the minority claimed the right of unlimited debate upon the very question of the amendment of the rules. That right I stoutly resisted, and I think I made it plain to the country, if not to the Senate itself, that the power of the majority to chagge its rules was a constitutional right, and that it could not be successfully resisted or pre- vented by unlimited debate. The heated discussions of last week upon this vital and important point overshadowed every other qu ition. Jndisturbed by threats of the minority ‘we proceeded to offer an amendment to the rules so as to authorize the majority to ccmpel a vote after reasonable debate had been had, to wit, thirty days. I believe in the perfect constitutional right of the majority to puss that amendment and to prevent unlimited debate upon its adoption. “The amendment is now pending and may be brought forward at any moment when forty-three Senators are willing to give it their support. Opposed to Compromise. “Speaking for myself alone, I decline to consider any compromise or any proposition which embraces less than unconditional re- peal until it shall have been satisfactorily ascertained that a majority of the Senate is unwilling to change its rules. If that majority cannot be obtained—it timidity, hesitation and doubt prevatis—if the tradi- tions of the Senate are so strong that Sena- IN THE REICHSRATH. Taafe Discussed.

After the formal opening of the house, and | after the election of a committee to con- sider the bill sanctioning the government's action in establishing a state of siege in cer- tain places in Bohemia, Count Taafe arose and declared that the government in pro- posing the electoral reform bill had no hos- tile tendency against any party. The bill maintained the fundamental prin- clples of the constitution. This declaration was greeted with laughter by those who are opposed to the measure. Continuing, Count Taafe said that the government's main intention in introducing the bill was to strengthen the constitution effectively by an enlargement of the right of suffrage. Grave dangers, he added, threat- ened society and the state from elements that have hitherto been without political rights. Despite the present opposition of three great parties, the government would maintain the leading principles of the bill, hoping to find that parliament would co- operate with it in bringing about the pro- posed reform, while at the same time taking care of exciting legitimate interests. At the close of Count Taafe’s speech, En- gelbert Pernerstorfer (democrat) spoke in favor of the suffrage reform bill. The Ger- mans in Austria, he said, had nothing to fear from the extension of the suf . Their contention that they would be poiiti- cally submerged in case the bill shor be- DIRECTORS ARRESTED.

Any party called liberal ought to avoid a social struggle with the masses by accepting the present measure. ‘Dr. Johann Slavik, Young Czech, ty for Wittingau, Bohemia, complained of the “erying injustice of the present electoral system to the Czech subjects of the em- peror.” Count Taafe’s proposed reform, he said, would abate a great popular griev- ance. Dr. von Plener, leader of the German lib- erals, made an eloquent speech against the bill. Count Taats plan of reform he de- scribed as a coup de theater. It would in- crease the number of electors, but not the number of parliamentary seats. It would submerge the middle class in the mob, and would place the German minorities power- less at the feet of the Slavs. An attempt was making, apparently, to apply cut-and- Gried theories, evolved under other condi- tions, to the empire. The promises of Tue men advocating this course were that that which would have beneficent results in Aus- states must have the same results in Aus- tria. Such radical doctrines ignored history. Their theories of suffrage were impracti- cable for a complicated national organiza- tion like Austria. The bill was really anti- j Austrian in its every tendency.

The jury accompanied chetr presentments with @ report commendiag Mayor Trout for ordering out the military and protecting the prisoner, but saying he made a mistake in leaving the city. The report also cites the fact that tie po- lice were demoralized. Sergt. Griffia was in charge of the squad of two ollicers from whom the negro, Thomas Smith, the negro assai'ant of Mrs. Bishop, was taken and hanged. Warrants are now being issued for those indicted for felony, and all who can be found will be arrested and iccked up. There is considerable excitement inevitable and accept the best terms possi- ble.

I promise you that the effort for a change will be continued, irre- spective of the fate of the present bill. The country may need relief in the future, as well as now. Parliamentary obstruction— unreasonable and protracted—should be a thing of the past. The right of unlimited debate is inconsistent with the duty of the Senate to legislate. The majority must be permitted to regulate and control its pro- x= or else legislation becomes impos- fe. During Mr. Hill's sj he was ri Hedin dere speech frequent.

At the birth of his son a father placed at interest at 6 per cent the sum of $1,000, and each year invested all the interest at the same rate. When the boy was twenty-one years old he found himself the possessor of | $3,399.56. Being a young man of pluck and energy, and anxious to try his hand in un- aided competition, he told hig father to keep the money, and he would take his chances with the poor boys of his acquaint- ance. When the son was fifty years old the father notified him that his fortune had grown to over $18,420, using round num- bers. At seventy the father called his son's attention to his fortune of over $59,000, and | since the son had received the rewards of his industry, he did not still take posses- sion of the fortune. The father soon after | died, and in his will required his executors to keep the principal and interest loaned un- til the son should receive it or be removed by death, The latter lived to a good old age, and on his 100th birthday, besides the accumulations of a busy and prosperous life, was incumbered with a fortune of ,300, Christopher Columbus is said to have some poor relations living in Spain at this time.

A modern financial manager would have per- haps suggested that to this end the sometimes obstreperous and mu- tinous sailors be reduced at half rations for a sufficient time to enable the great dis- coverer to save a dollar and place it at compound interest at the very reasonable rate of 6 per cent. By this time, 400 years after, that dollar would have increased and multiplied to the munificent sum of over 322,000,000, a sum sufficient to pay at least some of the gambling debts of his poor re- lations of this present tim: ——_—_-o+—___ In Brazil not 1 per cent of the male or female servants will sleep in their master’s house.

Lost his Position. ; couldn’t induce customers to take an inferior brand of washing pow- der in place of Pearline. The grocer said, “Ifyou can’t sell what I want you to sell,I don’t want you.” Now it doesn’t take a very wise woman to decide whether this was an honest grocer. And a woman wise enough for that, would be likely to insist upon having nothing but Pearline. There is nothing “as good as” or “the same as” Pearline, the original—in fact, the only— washing-compound.
