1'kciu.uk Statistics. The statistics
as to the population in the parish of
Svinhult, UstergotlHiid, Sweden, eliow
some very peculiar facta. The number
of inhabitants was the aauie January 1,
1892 that, it was January 1, 1891. Fifty
one people emigrated in 1891, while the
same number settled in the parish dur
ing the year. The cases of death corre
sponded with those of birth, and eight
weddings were celebrated as compared
with eight dissolved marriages. The
Ituinskiilla pariah in the same province
had just 1892 inhabitants when the year
18112 made its first bow.
Norway at the World's Fair.
Norway will, without, doubt, be repre
sented at the Columbian Exposition.
The Norwegian interior department
seems at least to be in favor of such
participation, and gives many important
reasons for this, of which we relate the
following:
"It was Leif Erikson, a Norwegian,
who was the lirst discoverer of the great
American continent; moat Americans
nowadays acknowledge that Christopher
Columbus had heard of this and that his
journey to Iceland was made for the sole
purpose of obtaining information as to
the travels of Leif. Norwegians have
contributed in no small degree either
to the building up of the American re
public, especially the Western
States; Norwegians fought bravely
during the civil war for the unity of the
republic and the principles of human
ity ; the Norwegians in America amount
to more than one-fourth of the number
of those who are living in Norway, and
they are also acknowledged by the na
tive citizens to be an honest and law
abiding people; Norwegian sailors have
won a good and fair reputation as relia
ble seamen on board American ships,
both merchant vessels and men-of-war ;
the Norwegian-Americans have always
maintained a deep and earnest love for
their mother country, as is proved by
the considerable money remittances
yearly sent to the far northern land;
Norway's exportation to America are
becoming larger every day ; as a most
enticing tourist country Norway Btanda
unrivaled, and there never was a better
opportunity to let this fact be known
than just now ; it is our most important
duty to accept the invitation Bocordially
tendered us by the American govern
ment, for there is no doubt in our mind
that the Columbian exposition will re
veal a competition of a magnitude and
extent heretofore unknown among na
tions." It may be said that the reasons here
given for a Norwegian exhibition also
cover the vet unsettled question as to
the representation of Sweden at Chi
cago in 1893.
The Czar Likes "Swedish Movk
jiknth." Axel Lareson Koman, a young
Swede, of Carlstad, emigrated to St.
Petersburg some years ago. He was an
expert in everything concerning the
Swedish movement cure and soon had
the honor to treat the autocrat of all the
Kussins. Tlie Czar took a liking to the
young fellow as well as to the "Swedish
movements" and one day he appointed
Roman "Imperial Director of the Gym
nastic Institute of St. Petersburg." The
full Russian name of Koman is Axel
Larowitsch Romanow.
Darkness Remns in Hammerfest.
There was great happiness among the
inhabitants of Hammerfest when the
Norwegian city was furnished with
electric lights some time ago. Water
was used as the motor power for the
dynamos. Every store and every pri
vate residence was enthusiastic regard
ing the new means of illumination and
demanded to be supplied with it. For a
time all went smoothly, and the lamps
heretofore used were buried in the ash
barrels without ceremony. But the in
tense cold which visits these regions
during winter came one evening as an
unbidden guest. Soon the ice lay thick
on the lake, and as a matter of course
the dynamos ceased to work as they
could not be driven by means of frozen
waves. The electric lights went out,
and the whole town was buried in
Egyptian darkness. All business is sus
pended at present, and there is a lively
light over the few lamps that are obtain
able. The dark season in Hammerfest
will be at an end in a month, but up to
that time the good citizens are going to
have a hard job trying to recognize each
other. It is said that the words by
Goethe, "Lights! more lights!" have
been declared to be the production of an
unsound mind by all the loving couples
in the town. As to the replacement of
the motor power by steam the young
members of both sexes have expressed
only one opinion.
Nokdenhkiold's South Polk Expedi
tion. The information reaches us that
the Nordeiiskiold expedition to the
South Pole will not take place after all
that has been said and written about it.
The money subscribed for it by Baron
Oscar Dickson, the Vanderbilt of Swe
den, lias been withdrawn because Aus
tralia has not been able to raise the
amount promised. A minor expedition
to the South Pole waters will, however,
be uiado by Baron Nordenskiold'a son,
and the heavy expenses will be paid ex
clusively by Karon Dickson.
Increase of the Fair Sex in Copen
hagen. The Copenhagen Bureau of
Statistics makes the following report as
as to the population of Ihe Danish me
tropolis: The inhabitants were 312,859
in 1891, the population having more
than doubled since 1860 when it amount
ed to 155,1 l:j while the number in 1801
was only 100,975. Especially the fair
sex has been on the increase. In 1860
the women outnumbered the men 0,000
while in 1891 the statistics show the
great increase of 2-1,000 (108,850 as com
pared with 144,003). Thus it may be
seen that the doubling of the population
has caused a quadruplication of the sur
plus of females.
The Water and Bread Punishment.
In Norway the very barbarous punish
ment of feeding certain prisoners with
only bread and water is yet in existence.
Several prominent newspapers now in
sist in very vigorous language upon the
annulment of the law as to "water and
bread sentences." Facts have proved
that many individuals who upon entry
were of robust strength and strong con
stitution, have when discharged been
found to suffer from consumption. "No
more water and bread sentences I" is at
present the cry of the Norwegian press
and people
Against Anarchy and Secret Meet
ings. A Swedish socialistic paper ex-1
presses tne Iol lowing opinion as to an
archy and secret meetings: "The work-1
tuvu uugui. uub luuusuiy mrow away we
sword and armor of right for the cow
ardly and dangerous weapons of dirk
and dynamite. Should the authorities
deny the workmen right to organize;
should they silence their speech, sup
press their papers and books, then it
would he time to think of secret meet
ings, but till then the very thought of
such is nonsense, which does not speak
well lor a comprehensive insight in the
aim of socialism."

Wlmt Depew Thinks.
New York, Feb. 8 Channcey M. De
new. when ahown Blaine's letter de
clining to run again for the Presidency,
said: IniB letter makes almost cer
tain the renomination of Harrison.
It takes time, in the absence
of men of national reputation
and national following in a great
party, to bring forward local
leaders and make the tendency of the
administration perpetuate itself for a
second term. As it looks at this mo
ment my first impressions on read
ing the letter, the candidate will be
General Harrison. The platform will be
protection, reciprocity and honest
money as indicated bv Blaine's letter.

The State .;f Mississippi Doubles the
Annual Appropriation.
Jackson, Miss., Feb. 9 The house
yesterday passed a bill appropriating
$64,200 a year for pensions. This will
give those now on the rolls $50 each.
The present appropriation is only $30,
000. The bill provides that all indigent
Confederate soldiers, sailors, servants
and indigent widows of such shall be
entitled to $50 a month, unless the
number at this rate exceed the appro
priation, in which event the amount
Bhall be pro rated.
It is estimated the indigent clause
will put at least 5,000 on the pay rolls
within a few years. Compared wi th the
128 now on, if it turns out so, the sum
that each will receive will be only about
$12. The bill makes the auditor the
pension commissioner.
They Are
Setting Fire
Houses.
to Lodging
San Dieqo, Cal., Feb. 9 That danger
ous firebugs are at work in this city is
evident beyond a doubt. Alter mid
night Sunday, the St. James hotel waa
found pouring forth great volumes of
smoke. The department was promptly
on hand aud prevented the destruction
of the buildings. The origin of the fire
is said to be spontaneous combustion.
Shortly after 1 o'clock last night, the
handsome block known as the Inland,
waa discovered to be on fire. Wild ex
citement prevailed as the upper story
was occupied by lodgers and tne tire in
the hallway cut off the only meana of
escape. Several inmates were on the
point of leaping from the high windows
but were prevailed upon to stay where
they were. One man jumped from a
window in the rear of the building and
miraculously escaped injury.
The fire department did excellent
work and soon had the fire under con
trol. After the flames were subdued, a
gasoline can was found on the floor of
the hall near a Urge roll of cotton bat
ting, which had evidently been saturated
with the inflammable matter. The en
gines had scarcely raached their bouses
when another alarm was turned in.
This time another lodging house on
Sixth and K streets was on fire.
The fire originated in a small room
used as a Btore-room. This fire muBt
have been incendiary, as the store-room
contained nothing to create spontaneous
combustion and the house waa unoccu
pied. The losses by fire have been
small with much greater damage done
by water.
The fire-bug seems to have a penchant
for lodging houses and the officers are of
the opinion that it is done for the pur
pose of robbery.

pockets with all the specie and started
out of the office, but was prevented from
taking the money by a deputy Bheriff

ties for the privilege."
San Francisco Post Office.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 9 Judge
Harvey Brown, who went to New York
Saturday has returned to Washington
prepared to renew the fight for the
Seventh and Mission street postollice
site in San Francisco. One of his friends
said: "It is neck or nothing with San
Francisco now with relation to this post
office matter and if the site selected is
not agreed upon there will be no post
office, that's all there is to it. It is too
late for any more commissions or any
new arguments."
It is reported that unless the appro
priation for the Bite is utilized at once it
will revert to the government by for
feiture. Two years is the time given to
each appropriation by Congress, and if
it is not used within that time is is for
feited. This would give San Francisco's
appropriation thirteen monthB more to
run, and the frienda of the Seventh
and Missionjsite intend to clog all efforts
that may be made to secure another
location with the object of either forc
ing the acceptance of their ground or
leaving San r ranciscowitn ua oiu rauio
traDof a buildiim on its bands for an
other long term of years. They will
rely greatly upon the Jorce of their argu
ment that if thia appropriation is per
mitted to go unused the Democratic
house will refuse ta,give another.

Three Parties lathe field-The l-lb.Ml
Eipected to Win.
Honolulu, Feb. 9 Hawaii is now on
the eve of her biennial election and the
three parties which now represent Ha
waiian politics are all in the field. These
parties are the National Reform (the
Mechanics' Union, what is left of the
old Reform party); the Liberal, led by
Robert Wilcox and C. W. Ashford, and
the Native Sons of Hawaii, led by J. A.
Cummings, the former cabinet minister.
There is not even as yet any advantage
held by either the Nationals or Liberals,
the two leading narties. although indi
cations point to a Liberal victory, which
would place Wilcox and his party in
power. Iheir battle cry la "Hawaii for
llawailaus," and they advocate the pro
Dosed change in the present constitu
tion and a new treaty with the United
States.
The Nationals charge the Liberals
with "stealing their thunder" In the
matter of the treaty, but are opposed to
any change m the constitution.

hours before the final result can lie
rceched, so that nowB of the outcome of
the election will not be available in San
Francisco until February 18th by steamer
Mariposa.
A slight stir was created during tne
campaign by the charge made by C. W.
Ashlord, ex-attorney general and mem
ber of the Liberal (Wilcox) party, that
Lorrin A. Thurston, ex-minisler of the
interior and member of the National
Reform party, had received a bribe of
$500 for assisting a certain railroad
scheme.
Thurston acknowledged the receipt of
the money, but said it was a Christmas
present and for various services per
lormed in his capacity as lawyer. Ash
ford, however, reiterates the charges and
intimates that Ihurston is prevaricating.
The peculiarity of Hawaiian politics
of todav may be judged when it is
known that these two were in the revo
lutionary and anti-revolutionary move
ments of 1887 and 1890.
Paul Newman is coming forward as a
candidate of the Notional Reform ticket,
but Ins politics are not well denned,
Ihe Australian system will be used in
balloting and by order of the minister of
the interior, voters are allowed four
minutes to prepare ballots. The out
look now ib that the Liberal or Wilcox
party will win, but not everything.

and was trained in the Bank
of Vernon. From 1857 to 1862 he
was a private banker in St. Paul, Minn.
In January, 1862, he contributed an
article to Hunt's Merchant's Magazine
in which he advocated the establish
ment of a national banking system
with circulation guaranteed by the gov'
eminent. Secretary Chase's attention
was attracted to its author, who
was given an appointment under
the government in the same
year and did important work
in San Francisco and New Orleans. In
1866 he was placed in charge of the mint
and coinage correspondence of the
treasury department at Washington,
was appointod deputy controller on Oct.
10, 1867, by Secretary McCol-
loch, and advanced to the lomptrol
lership on April 24, 1872, by
President Grant. His report on the
mint service, containing a codification
of the coinage laws with amend
ments, was printed by order of
Congress in 1870. The bill
which he prepared was passed, with
a few modifications, under the title of
"the Coinage Act ot 1873," and an
amendment to the bill, in rocog'
ration ot his servicos, made
the comptroller of the curroncy
member of the assay commission. The
bill provided tor the discontinuance ot
the coinage of the silver dollar, and
the accompanying report gave reasons
therefor. He was continued in the
office of comptroller by President Hayes
in 1877, and took an active part in tbe
arrangements for making the assistant
treasurer a member of tbe New York
clearing house, and for the
resumption of specie payments on J anil
ary 1, 1879, and in the negotiations with
bankers relative to tbe plan lor the
isHUC of V. per cont. bonds in 1882,
He was again appointed comptroller
by President Arthur, but resigned in
1884 and became president of the
National Bunk of the Repuplic in
New York city. Hia twelve an
nual reports constitute an authority on
financial questions that have arisen
out of the ciivil war. He has delivered
addresses before the American Bankers
Association and similar bodies, lectured
to the students of Johns ilopkin
university, contributed articles on fin an
cial subjects to cyclopedias, published a
monograph on "United states INotes, or
a History of the Various Issues of Paper
