SOWS FIORD, NORWAY.
nterr»tiii|[ Description of the His
toric Fiord.
The Sogn fiord, In the county of Nor
ire. Bergenhus, is a wide arm of the
aea which penetrates far into the heart
jf the country. It is rbcut 120 English
.lilies long, Its greatest depth is about
1,000 feet, and It is surrounded by
Tiountulns varying In height from 8,000
to 6,000 feet, between which glacial's
extend their Angers down to the sea.
The fertile and beautiful country bor
dering on this historic fiord has been
inhabited from time immemorial, and
at present about 50,000 people ILye on Its
borders. In language, dress, habits
and manners these people constitute a
connecting link between the old and the
•lew.
All ulong the bankfe of the fiord am
relics of the past—numerous tumuli
from the Viking ages, site.i of heathen
temples, as at Thcrsres Hid Nuer'ne,
resident es of petty kings, like King Be
le, who has given his name to the beau
tiful Bale stranl, extremely old log
houses, with a hole at the top for a
chimney, ancient churches -erected on
the sites of the temples of Thor and
Odin, as at 'Hove ar.d Urnes and at
Gulen in Sogn. Exterior, the famous
Gulathlng tribunal was held. In short,
when you get Into the Sogn fiord, you
are out of the modern world, In a mosi
ch&tming, classical region, where na
ture Is majestic anl still sweet, where
ever-changing vistas delight the eye,
where llie blight realms of perpetual
sr.ow Is nearly everywhere in sight,
where silvery streams and brawling
torrents are hastening down to the
sea, where fiord and mountain meet.
giving you the benefit of the purest of
pure air, and where your weary brains
md nerves may rest.
The Sogn fiord presents a more com
plete picture of national lif than prob
ably any other place in the country.
The Sogn-jaegter, one-masted galleys
with high prows, can be seen sailing on
its waters or moored here nnl there
along the shore, large p'les of wood,
which the people bring down from the
great heights, Ct'.rleus "starbur," or
larders built on posts, bundles of hoops,
the work of the long winter evenings,
well kept farms, snug dwellings and
numerous orchards, with the finest of
•.pples, peaches and cherries for which
he region is famous, and at stream or
rivulet you may "Jtill fee the old "kva
erner," or mills, so clostly associated
with the superstitious fancy of the peo
ple. where sat the "Nokken" playing
lis harp In the summer nights.
The most interesting point on the
Sogn tliord is Balho'm, a name that
will make th-? hearts of many American
visitors in Norway throb a little faster.
The backgroun .1 Is formed by towering
mountains, before you the grand fiord,
far away you stern the habitations
of the village of Vik, still across the
fiord, but nearer, is the green, low
promontory of Vangenes, with its farm
houses and chur.' ies, and beyond that
your eye may glide uninterruptedly for
miles and miUs, far away to the histor
ic Syrstrand and Flmreite, where Kiug
Sverre defeated the fleet of the Bagler
faction, led by Krlliig Shakke, In the
'ear 1181.
To the left the beautiful Eseflord, on
whose opposite bank you see the church
and farms of Tjugum and the low,
wooded promontory, called Veganes,
beyond which is Mount Thorsnesfjeld
and the Svcrreskar mountain pass.
Then when you take a walk along the
shore in the opposite direction, past St.
Olav's English church, you come to a
large barrow. King Bele's grave, on
whose top stands a huge bantastem
or lv.onument, and an enormous birch
'.ree.
Fridthofs saga, the most romantic
(egend of the Viking age in Norway,
Immortalized by the Finnish poet, Esa
las Teener, is also associated with the
Sogn fiord, where lived his beloved In
jeborg.
The Sogn fiord affords excellent hotel
accommodations, and the splendid
steamers of the County of Nordre Ber
genhus Steamship company navigate

SAYS HE PLAYED IIOI'BI.B.
Vort I.and'n AcuuNatlon Aaaiunt
Prenldent Deuntier.
Vort Land, of' Copenhagen, accuses
President Deuntzer, of the council of
state, of having played double on the
proposition for the sale of the Danish
Danish Antilles. Although he spoke in
favor of the sale in the executive meet
ings of the landsthlng, he Is accused of
having previously expressed the wish
to the party of the right in the lands
thing. that its voice should be against
the sale. The party leaders, however,
had not sufficient confidence in Dr.
Deuntzer to assume the full responsi
bility for opposing the sale and, there
fore, instead of announcing a deter
mined opposition to the proposition be
fore the hc-use, it contented Itself with
the passage of a resolution expressing
its support to the council's president
against the sale of the Danish West In

The charges are considered very seri

If any of our readers do not know
what the Odd-looking Norwegian word
"fjord," means, the following interest
ing description by Bishop John II. Vln
cent, will give a very clear Idea:
"The (fiords (fjords) of Scandinavia
are (so say the geologists) the remains
of the great ice age. The glaciers fur
rowed out these deep gorges In the
mountains and plains and along the
shores, and left the lakes and rivers,
channels and islands which distinguish
the Scandinavian, and especially the
Norwcglau peninsula. These, fiords are
deeper than the ocean itself fifty miles
or less from the coast. The islands
that skirt the coast are marvelous for
their number and variety. Fiord sail
ing Is a delight. You wind about
throughl straits and channels, every
now and then bound, apparently, to
run against a wall of rock when, all
at once, vour pilot turns the boat into
a deep and secure channel, of which
you could see nothing until fairly In it.
The boat jrfays "hide and go seek" with
mountains, towns and islands. Indeed,
all the rivers 3t the earth seem to be
represented in your journey through the
Norwegian fiord. Now you are sailing
down the Rhine, with its castellated
rocks. Now you are among the Dalles
on the Columbia' river. Here is the
Hudson with its Palisades. The next
five minutes brings you into the St.
Lawrence with Us Thousand Islands,
•jr the Mississippi. These islands are
the skirmish line of th° g.-efit moun
tains sent down to protect the Norwe
gian shores against the storms of the
ocean. These fiords were the great na
vul academies of the old A'lklngs, where
t'.'.ey first learned the art o£.navigation,
and where they were t.-ainod from boy
hood to risk the perils of the waves and
find the coasts beyond. Wonders of
the world are tile mountains, valleys,
rivers, fiords, islands, lakes, glaciers
and waterfalls of the Scandinavian pe
ninsula."

Nsfcrtf.
Washington, May 3.—Henry O. Have
meyei president of the American Sugar
Refining company, ccminonly known as
the sugar trust, was the first witness
before the subcommittee on Cuban re
lations, which Is investigating the mat
ter of the present holding of the, Cuban
sugar and Cuban sugar lands. Mr.
Havemeyer's testimony, If believed by
the committee, and It was given under
oath, disposes of the charge that the
sugar trust has gobbled up all the su
gar and sugar lands in Cuba. He de
clared that, his company does not own
an acre of sugar land in Cuba. It once
owned some In Porto Rico, but gave it
up. M!r. Havemeyer admitted that In
dividually he was interested in some
sugar lands-tn Cuba. He stated that
since early in February the company
had purchased in Cuba ROJDOO tons of
sugar, or about ten day's supply.
Usually the company purchases from
200,000 to 300,000 tons of Cuban sugar
annually.
Mr. Hnverheyer s-aid the entire Cu
ban sugar crop is about 750,000 tons," but
that much of It has been withheld from
the market in view of possible tariff
concessions to be made by congress.
On this account his purchases had been
only about One-third of the average of
other years. On tills account, too, the
purchases had been made principally
at outports, where the storage facilities
were poof, rather than at Havana. The_
purchases from the outports had
caused most of the shipments to be
ir.ade from those ports rather than
from. Havana, where the company has
about $45,000 t6na now stored. The pur
chases at the outports had caused the
sales there to be made on a parity with
the beet- sugar prices. Speaking of the
capacity of his company, he said that
it refined 65 percent of the American
refined product.
"It has been stated repeatedly," said
Mr. Piatt, .'.'that in case the suggested
concession is made the sugar trust will
be In a position.to oblige producers to
make such, reductions that you will se
cure the' entire benefit of the legislation
—is that true?"
"We could, hot 'oblige' any reduction.
In case of a concession to Cuban sugar
the price might be lowered, say 1-16 of
a cent a pound, but that would be noth
ing as compared to the reduction in the
tariff rate, which would amount to
about one-thjrd of a cent a pound.
Even so great a reduction as I have
mentioned would depend on the neces
sity for marketing, and if there should
be any pressure on that account the
necessity would be ttiat of. the pro
ducers and would not be ours."
