He further ex- plained that negotiations with Sweden with regard to this matter had been temporarily abandoned because Swe- den is revising her tariff laws. As soon as these laws are completed the negotiations will be resumed, and it ig confidently expected that they will lead to satisfactory results. - DENMARK. The late Johan Sorden Hansen, of Copenhagen, willed his fortune of $135,000 to charitable purposes. The liberty column in Copenhagen has been removed to give place for a new railroad yard. It is to be put up again a little to the west of its old site. A thunderstorm of unusual severity passed over Fyen a few days ago. At Kerteminde an old lady was killed by lightning, and her house was burned down. At Saadrup the houses on two farms were also burned down, and single buildings were burned at Anderup, Holmehave, Soby and Svan- ninge. Many public buildings in Odense were struck by lightning. A certain house in Dronning street was struck three times in the course of fifteen minutes. The next day many horses were found dead in the fields. Almost simultaneously a similar storm passed over the country around Skive, | Jylland. A woman was ‘struck by lightning while making the bed, and she was so badly burned that she was not expected to live. Mr. Ellenhammer, the inventor of a flying machine, made 2 demonstration before the naval authorities of his new “air pressure boat.” It is pro- pelled by compressed air and when the craft is running at full speed it rises from the water until it just clears the surface with the keel. In the experiment the propelling appa- ratus was used on a motor boat of several tons burden. The trial was @ success and caused a sensation among the observers. The boat passed over all kinds of surface obstacles, includ- ing a narrow strip as Apne. pate that the SWEDEN. Special trains make the trip from Stockholm to Berlin in 24 hours and , 6 minutes. The city of Vasteras has sold bonds for $810,000, to be paid in 40 annual installments. Captain Unge’s torpedo for throw- ing life lines to ships that are in dan- ger was recently tested at Ports- mouth, England. The torpedo was thrown from the shore to a ship. In spite of a strong wind the line was thrown with great accuracy. A sea serpent or some other mon- ster of. an unknown kind has been seen in Kalmor sound by “a reliable person.” The beast appeared on the surface of the water and seemed to be about 16 feet long—a very moder- ate length by the way. It moved at the rate of about six (English) miles | an hour and soon disappeared. But it appeared a second time, raising a huge head on a slim neck. The head was shaped like that of a lizard. The British steamer Woodburn col- lided with the Malmo steamer Gunhild in the Skagerack. The prow of the latter was badly damaged, and the front compartment was soon filled with water. By means of carefyl handling the steamer was taken into harbor without further mishap. The captain of the Woodburn did not stop to inquire.as to the condition of the Gunhild, and he will no doubt have to explain his conduct in court. The steamer Molnback caught fire while passing through Varmland lake, near Karlstad. The lifeboat was low- ered, but the waves soon filled it with water and it went to the bottom. In feverish haste the crew built a float of planks and whatever woodwork they could put their hands on, and soon ‘they left the burning vessel. There they heard the screams of the restaurant woman, and the rope with which she lowered herself was burned off before she reached the water, They all had to stay on the raft four hours before they were saved.

Norselius and Lieutenant Von Schoultz were not responsible for the grounding of the cruiser Svensksund in Norwegian wa- ters last year. Just as a watchman had passed a sharp curve between Jorlanda and Kode, on the Bohns railway, he heard a@ rumbling noise behind, and he soon discovered that a rock weighing sev- eral tons had tumbled down on the track. He succeeded in stopping the next train, which carried over 400 passengers. The train had to wait an hour and a half until the rock was blasted and removed. The Svea royal court has sustained the lower court in a funny lawsuit. The Stockholm Dagens Nyheter is managed by: men who are capable of getting up something outside of the ordinary ruts of everyday life. About a year ago the manager of the paper put in the show wiluow a wat of bread from N. P. Johansson’s bak- ery, announcing by a card it had been sold by Johansson for % cent. Johan- sson sued the manager for damages. He will get $27 in damages, and the paper must also pay a fine of $27. An automobile carrying seven per- sons became unmanageable in cross- ing a bridge across the Sundborn riv- er, near Falun, and the machine, with its occupants, plunged into the river. Just as the automobile left the bridge all of the seven persons were hurled into the river ahead of the automo bile, so that no one was caught un- der it in the fall. They were all car- ried away by the current, and saved at a dam a short distance below. Several of them were hurt, but none dangerously. The automobile landed in seven feet of water. By right the Swedish conductors on the Stockholm and Berlin railway line should serve only to the seaport of Trelleborg, and the German conduct: ors to the seaport of Sassnitz. But in view of the fact that the passenger trains land at Trelleborg early in the morning, while the sleeping car pas- sengers are still in bed, the German conductors remain on the trains through southern Sweden, as far as Hessleholm. In the same manner the German conductors-on the Berlin and Kristiania line remain on the north- going trains as far as Engelholm. The 34th Pommern Musketry Regi- ment was organized in 1720, while Pommern still belonged to Sweden, and it has ever since been known as the regiment of the queen of Sweden. A few days ago Queen Victoria passed through Stettin, and Kaiser Wilhelm and the military authorities of Russia Geass mént. Public functions of different kinds occupied nearly a whole day. In memory of this occasion the queen gave a magnificent gilt bowl to the regiment at the “love feast” with which the exercises were closed. NORWAY. About 4,000 tons of coal has been mined in Spitzbergen this season. From Bjornson’s sick-bed at the Lorvik watering establishment: The poet is improving, slowly but surely. | He can move his left hand and arm. The day when he found that he could do this was a festival—he smiled like a child all day. His wife nurses him, | and sees that he is not disturbed by his friends. Very few realize what a work this woman is doing just now. Both of them intend to go to southern Europe next fall. The farmers of Tromso are com- plaining bitterly that the reindeer of the Swedish Lapps are doing great damage this year. At Beisfjord and Oboten large flocks have been roam- ing through the country. The matter was reported. But as the Lapps did not take their flocks away, two rein- deer were shot. By the efforts of Lapp Sheriff With,.an agreement was reached, and the Lapps paid a small indemnity to the owners of the devas- tated land. The General Swedish Electric Com- pany of Vasteras is going to furnish a complete outfit for the power sta- tion at Rjukan. The combined capac ity of the electric generator will be 70,000 horsepower. . The machinery would fill 100 ordinary freight cars. But as some of the parts are very bulky special trucks will be made for transporting the goods when ready. The amount of the order is about $265,000, and everything must be completed before the close of the year 1910. Almost a dozen German, Swiss and French firms made bids for the order, but the Swedish company made the best offer and got this highly de- sirable job. The power generated will be used mainly for the produc- tion of fertilizer made partly from nitrogen taken directly from the air, according to the Birkeland method. At Moe, Orsten, Sondmore, has been found a woman’s tomb from the Viking age. There were remains of several objects of fron, three bronze vessels, a hand spinning-wheel, and other things. Some time ago an Arabic silver coin from the ninth century was found at the same place. A new locomotive is needed on the Valores railway, and a Norwegian factory is to build it ata cost of $10,000. The government is going to build a ’ factory at Kongsberg for making pro- jectiles for the army and navy. Mayor, Busse Leaves Hospital.

SPANISH PRETENDER DEAD. Don Carlos Passes Away In Lombard! After Long Illness. Rome, July 19.—The Spanish pre | tender, Don Carlos, died yesterday in Lombardi. He had been ill for a long time and the latest reports indicated | he was suffering from apoplexy with the accompanying paralysis. Flathead Registration Large. Missoula, Mont., July 19.—Registra- tion for lands in the Flathead reserva- tion continued unabated in Missoula yesterday. The total registrations for the day, as shown by the report of \ the local land office, was 2,274. This New York, July 19.—Ten persons were drowned, two of them little girls, when the excursion sloop Roxana, car- crying 22 passengers, was capsized by a sudden squall in lower New York bay. The captain of the Roxanacand the 12 survivors were picked up under great difficulties in a rough and chop- py sea by the tug Lamont. The Roxana, with her skipper, Cap- tain Samuelson, was chartered at Ul- mer Beach, Brooklyn, by a party from Brooklyn for a sail across the bay to Midland Beach, Staten Island, ana back. The first leg of the voyage was made without mishap and all hands piled ashore to make merry. All afternoon there was a stiff breeze from the southwest, which left a nasty cross sea. Toward 4 o’clock the Roxana, reeling homeward across the bay under all the sail good judgment would permit to be carried, slipped into a squall. She lay over until her copper plates glistened in the sun, and as the angle of the deck steepened to the boiling water in her lee, the women screamed and scram bled for the upper rail. Relief Measures Impossible. In one moment the Roxana was bottom up and the foam was black with bobbing heads. Im another, the Roxana had vanished and one by one the heads began to follow her. Fortunately the tug Lamont wag keeping a sharp lookout. Captain Keyes saw the sloop heel over in the gust and fail to come back. . Instantly he headed for the spot where the Rox- ana had been, but before he could reach her, ten of the passengers, had gone down. Life lines and buoys were thrown to those still afloat and after a few minutes of brisk and anx- ious work all in sight were taken aboard the Lamont. The survivors, thoroughly exhausted and half dazed, were taken to a hos- pital on Staten Island. Ho list of dead as ascertained last A Selina Seinen: New makes a grand total of more than 9,000 since registration began. SNELLING GETS NEW BUILDINGS, Officers’ Quarters Probably Will Be First to Be Constructed. Washington, D. C.—That there will be some important construction work at Fort Snelling is indicated as a result of a visit of Representative Stevens to the war department today, when. he saw Secretary Dickinson, Quartermaster General Aleshire and other officers. Several sets of officers’ quarters will be authorized and the quartermaster’s storehouse and sta bles will be extended. Officers at the post especially are cramped for room, and they will be taken care of first in the new construction. HAY WANTS NEW POST? Supposed to be Seeking Place on Pro posed Customs Court. Washington, D. .C.—Eugene @ Hay, of Minneapolis, a member of the board of general appraisers at New York, is in Washington for sey eral days. Mr. Hay is a candidate for a position on the customs court in the Pending tariff bill, and he is seeking the indorsement of Minnesota sena tors and representatives. R. F. D. Expansion. Washington, July 19—Rural routes numbering 40,759, serving daily or tri-weekly mail to 16,500 persons, were in operation in the United States July 1. Practically all of these routes are served by a daily delivery, the number receiving mail three times a week being comparatively few. Minnesota had on July 1, 1,569 rura} mail routes, covering the state in a network of daily deliveries. North Da kota has 417 routes ang South eat «
