It was stated by the Brainier that only
three of the gentlemen named had been
asked if they would accept appoint-

press of their selection. He sincerely
hoped all would accept, as it 'was felt
in every individual case that the board
would be the stronger for the choice.
The Government in naming its appointees
had, under the aet, to select the Chair-

The crowds waited silently until the

broke into short, sharp hurrahs that ex-

The first figure disoernible upon the
deck was the wonderful little Crown
Prince Olaf in a white sailor suit, held
high above the rail by his nurse and
showing a precocious interest in the
scene. The King soon joined the Prince
and the crowd barked out another cheer,
which was renewed when Queen Maud
appeared.
The Royal family speedily landed, and
the King conversed briefly with sev-
eral of the diplomats. The municipal-
ity presented an address of welcome, for
which King Haakon expressed his
hanks.
Throngs surrounded the palace for
hours, cheering the Icing and Queen.
Although Norway is regarded as safely

father was confined in a hospital, where
his I•eg had been amputated, and there-

he sent a letter to Judge Lafontaine
pleading for the son's release and sey-

It gems that the elder Tardiff be-
came intoxicated and was about to
strike a younger ion with an axe when
Adelard in order to prevent a worse act
raised a shotgun and fired, as he claims,
in the hope' of frightening his father.
The case was remanded fox a week.

Trondhjem is a compact, two-storey,

sign of its ancient lineage. It has
bedecked itself for weeks far the cor-

quaint, brilliant costume of a Nor-
wegian bride. Norway's newpatriot-
ism is very intense, and it finds full
expression in the number and size of
the flags which fill the air, in which

fective action in preventing the threat-

it would take similar action now. It
might appeal to the civilized powers to

Wben asked if the Jewish financirs•

France was greatly interested in Rus-

to destroy their valve it would bring
