Ik his annual report Commodore J.

The number of foreign skilled and

Horace Lee is the youngest office

Russian officials along the whole
Austro-Russian border have been or
dered to learn the German language

the efforts of one country to learn the
frontier defense of another.

fishermen in foreign ports accorded to

Among the many proofs of the
"strained relations" of Germany find
Russia is the fact that restaurants on
the frontier, patronized largely by
Russian soldiers, often display pla
cards saying: "Here no Prussians are
served with meat or drink," and many
of ihe shops in the large Russian cities
announce that no German goods are
sold there.
This May Be So.
New Yobk, Nov. 18. Ira Jenree,
the veteran gambler known as "Old
Jauney," died of old age and general
debility on Monday. In his gam
bling career he made and lost six or
seven fortunes. At one time his
wealth was estimated at 500,000.
Ho was over 70, and died almost des
titute. He leaves a wife, well known
among the gamblers throughout the
country. He used to tell this story
of his experiences in Morrissey's
gambling house many years ago, and
ilorrissey vouohed for its truth:
"I had risked and lost my last dol
lar and the dealer was waiting to go
on with the game. I was lost for a
bit, and was about to shell out for
home, when something like an inspir
ation came to me. While fumbling
in my pocket I found a lozenge. I
pulled it out in a thoughtless kind
of way, and when my eye lit on it I
saw it looked like a check. "Without
saying a word I laid the lozenge on a
card and coppered it. The dealer
thought it was all right and the game
went on. Luck was my way. I won
and the dealer shoved a dollar check
tome across the table. I wagered
the check and won again, and when
I left that table I had S3.000. Next
day it grew to S8.000 and before the
end of the week it was $40,000, every
dollar won on the wager of that loz
enge." .IIAICICED.

FLA.GS OF NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Norway end Sweden aro little countries
in the northern part of Europe. Com
bined they present an area of only 292,100
square miles. A single state in this
country is nearly as large. But these
countries support a population of several
millions, large numbers of whora obtain
their living from fisheries and maritime
pursuits. Each country is independent
of the other in everything but the King.
For years the flags of Norway and Sweden
have been prominent in the ocean carry
ing trade of the Atlantic ocean. Until
within a few years, however, their flag3
were rarely seen in the Pacific Steam
competition between the Atlantic states
and Europe has driven some of the sail
vessels formerly employed in that trndo
to other fields. A few years ago a Swed
ish flag was a novelty in these waters and
not oTer half-a-dozen Norwegian vessels
visited this coast in the course of a
twelve-month. This year dozens of these
vessels have arrived and others are now
on the way. It is possible that the record
of arrivals on this coast for the year 1887
will show 50 or GO Norwegian and Swedish
vessels. Most of these are loaded in
Europe for Australia and other points in
the Pacific, and they generally make two
or three trips in the Pacific before re
turning home.
Henry Lund of this city has been Consul-general
for this district for the past
four years. The district embraces Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington Territory
and Alaska. Mr. Lund has interested
himself in making California known to
the people of Norway and Sweden, and is
encouraged to know that his efforts have
not been without good results. Hun
dreds of letters are annually written at
the consulate, many of them being sim
ply in response to demands for informa
tion concerning California and the Pa
cific coast generally. The maritime in
terests of Norway and Sweden on this
coast have become so important that a
vice consul has been appointed for Port
Townsend to look after residents and
sailors of these countries in Washington
Territory and in that section of the dis
trict. The large number of vessels bear
ing these flags now en route and ex
pected at ban reuro and ban Diego will
probably create a demand for vice con
suls at these ports. We have no doubt if
parties interested in the matter make
proper application to Mr. Lund, ho will
recommend his government to appoint
such officers at these two flourishing ports
of Southern California. Swedes and
Norwegians are among the best elements
in our foreign population. They are in
dustrious, economical and have the fear
of God before their eyes. They make
good citizens, and are peaceful and pros
perous. It is estimated that there are
6ome 50,000 of thesa peoplo in Mr. Lund's
district. S. F. Bulletin.
