Loxnox , Nov. 2. [ Correspondence of THE
Urn.Travel ] In Norway has some unusual
and many exceedingly Interesting phases. It
was a surprising thing to learn that moro
than 100,000 tourists now visit .this northern
land every summer. The country possesses
comparatively fo\v mllca of railway. Consequently
quently all routes of travel arc practically
by highways and waterways. Moro than n
Quarter of a century slnco It was scon that
lourlsts , anil particularly European tourists ,
In search of sccnlo marvels , were tiring of
Switzerland ; were turning their faces toward
the mldnlRht. sun , and were oven penetrating
to the most remote fields and glacier Holds.
Norway immediately set about malting travel
Within her rugged boundaries not only possl-
Wo to all hy extensive road building , but
ystomatlc and reliable as between all
carriers and landlords and the tourist public.
Tho.road building , Involving enormous ex
pense and many splendid feats of engineer
ing , has hart-much the same effect upon the
people of Norway as in Austrian Galicla.
Kot BO many years ago Austria built nearly
2,000 mllca of stone highway un and down
nnd from end to end of Galicla , or Austrian
Poland. Previous to that tltno , materially ,
a r.o moro wretched , God-forsaken land ex
isted on the face of the earth. In less than
ton years time these roads did moro for the
6,000,000 people for Austrian Poland in ma
terial nnd social advancement than all the
churches , all the books'all the newspapers ,
all the battles , all the railways and all the
governments had over accomplished for them
from the days of Micczyslaxv and Bolcslas to
the day these roads vreso done.
Jitolntloti of I ho I'easuntry.
The isolation of the Norwegian peasantry
was never no universal as that of the Aus-
trio-Polisn peasantry. They have over had
their many and mighty fiords , whllo a semi-
seafaring llfo always provided diversified
resources and the beneficial friction of
change. And yet until tins road building on
n mighty scale was begun It often happened
that the peasant folk of ono hamlet , or of a
valley district , wore as remote from those of
another dale not ton miles distant , whcro
totally different resources were rolled upon
and wholly different different traditions and
customs wore In vogue , as though thoTatras
or Atlas mountains stood between.
This later almost univeisal means of inter
communication over thcso grand stouo
roads , and the roads combined with the
llords.lmvo iimdo Norwegian folk more homo
geneous , developed the scanty resources of
this stern north land , and moro than all clso
intensillcd the traditional longings of these
flno and sturdy lolk for complete national
liberty and independence. Combined with
the surpassing scenery and Interesting peas
ant life , It also brings millions of dollars to
Norway each year , distributed in city , hum-
let , "station" and oven in lonely mountain
saetcr oya vast horde of tourists , whoso
methods of travel over mountain , through
valley and over fiord are alpno a most inter
esting subject of study.
Tlio New Stone IllgUnrays.
The grand Norwegian roads , while they
are moro numerous and expensively built
in proportion to population than those of
any other European country , have not that
peculiar sentimental Interest attaching to
the highways of many other European re
gions , and to bo found in all the Latin coun
tries. They possess no roadside shrines ;
nofare lowly pilgrim bands over seen upon
them. Tlio pilgrimages here are all to
nature's mighty shrines. Three examples
will indicate ttioir stupendous character and
added imprcsslvcncss from winding along ,
or within some of tlio most beautiful and
majestic scenery all Europe affords.
The Drammciis Vel ( or Drains Way , be-
causo. built from the revenues from liquor
licenses , ) of Bergen , is ono of the ilncst
roadways , in the world. It is cut out of the
sides of the mighty Flcclfjeld rising above
the city. Five tremendous bends are re
quired to reach the summit. For Its entire
distance , whore not blasted from the solid
rock , the bed consists ihstof heavy boul
ders , then huge slabs of granite , aud finally
a thick covering of cement and gravel. Thu
escarped sides are dt solid masonry , often
twenty , thirty and fifty feat high along
tholr facades , to secure sufficient roadbed
above ; and the outer edges of nearly tno
ontira Vel are protected by hugo pointed
rocks sot upright at regular intervals. The
outlook , from any of Its bends , comprising
tlio red roofed city , the frozen heights to
the north , tno bay , the seaward countless
islands and the thunderous ocean beyond , la
not surpassed in Europe.
tlltistoil from Solid Uncle.
Near Bjorkagcrin.tho'Froudhjcm ' district ,
is another wonderful roadway. For its en-
tito Itniath of several miles It has , been
blasted from solid rock. The necessary ais
lodgements were often so great as to glvo
the appearance of some mighty convulsloaof
nature. The steep mountain slope rises
thousands of feet above you to ono side ,
while below you , at the other , Is n tremendous
deus gorgQ , nearly 1,000 foot in depth , with
n wild torrent raving and howling on its
way to thu distant fiord. Af the outer
liendb of the road overlooking the gorge and
torrent the seonery is indescribably somber
nnd grand. Hugo upright masses of rock
are B'Jt in masonry along the outorcdgo.
And It is along such gruesome ways us thcso
that thu llttlo Norwegian ponlos clatter at
break-neck suocd , im you breathlessly cling
to your rlckoty cnrrlolo.
Uosco'idlng from the upland ride , from
Yossovangen , through tho. fatuous Nterodal
to Gudvitngon , the last fo\v miles ot
your Jouruuy will bring you to a
still greater combined marvel of road
building and magnificent iccuory , The
head of the vallay is walled by mountain
musses about 2,000 feat high. From this
altitude mountain tops ot 5,000 and 0,000
foot high lira reached by gcutlor slopes. The
great clil ! or kluv , called hero the Btalhohu ,
is the head of the chasm or valley gorge
which finally opens out upon Gudraugon and
the Nurofjord , the famous somber branch
of tbo SORUM , The lower luvol of this chasm
> reached by a splendid feat of engineering ,
Thu road is curried on echullo down the fuco
DfthoclifT from a height of 1,500 feet in
twenty-six zig-zag angles , of wluo and easy
weep "t the angles of return. As each
corner of this road ia rounded , there is
nltcrnatu view not only of this grand denlo
nnd mmwcapprd mountains behind nnd
ubovo , but of those famous waterfalls , the
fUalhoimfos and the Sivlofos ; the former
fulllnc without a break for over 1,000 foot ,
und the hitter for a tumble of nearly the
amo disiunco. AVheu you have reached the
bottom of the Stalhcim gorge , an enormous
-cona of gray felspar , thu phamtoni-llko
Jordalsnyt , lifts UH cowled head 4,000 foot
into the cloud-mists above ,
J or > ToBluu Conveyance * .
The universal mode of travel along thcso
Norwegian roads Is by carriole. In all my
own excursions on foot into the interior dis
tricts 1 never saw tourists or natives walk-
lug upon the highways , os you will see them
lu England and Switzerlana. The only ex
ception wus whcro groups of peasants were
making tholr way from oao gaardo or farm
bousu , or field or siutcr , to another. Trav
elers never walk , aud the bonaer or farmer ,
and nearly all the peasant folk , do mostof
their accessary travolliu'In the carriole or
troll cart. Both are Norwegian institutions
distinctively , The carriolo U something
and its long abatis , terminating Just back of
the uxlo , form springs for ( ho scat , which Is
in front of the axlo. The neat is low ; you
are compelled to etraightcu out your legs , on
though you were sitting on the floor , und
your foot thus lust roach a stout little dash
board , Ihis has thu advantage of landing
you upou jour foot , ia case of a breakdown ,
Instead ot upon your head , at when n dog
cart or trap goes to pieces. Tno vohlclo is
nicely balanced and has but ono scat. Con
sequently you must bo passenger and driver
In ono ; though a llttlo projection behind the
axle servos for a place upon which to strap
your luggage , If It bo as modest as a Nor
wegian traveler's should bo , and also for n
porch for the sunny-faced , garrulous lad ,
the "skydgut" or post boy , who accompanies
you between ' 'stations , " to return your car-
riolo and pony to Its owner.
I'onlcs ot nu Ktlilcal Tarn *
The Norwegian ponies which draw thcso
carrioles , or nro used ns saddle horses In the
roadless mountain districts , nro worthy of a
chapter to themselves. They nro little ,
cream colored nnd stocky , with flno crests
and forearms , and are most reliable and In
telligent. They are ns strong as the "shol-
tie" or the Cur hcndal pony , and quite ns
nimble and long suffering ns the Cuban pony
or Jacas. I never saw animals In any coun
try bolter cared for ; nnd they respond to the
almost affectionate treatment they receive
by splendid speed on level stretches of road
and an almost startling pace down the
steepest of mountain Vays. Tholr compre
hension of the ethics of travel Is , however ,
often far more acute than that ot their for-
elsn drivers. Ihavo often seen them stop
nnd turn about , facing the carriole passen
ger , as n bit of plucky climbing was reached ,
with a look which asked as plainly as words :
"Kind sir , you are now In Norway. Will
you not dismount and walk I"
They nro grazed like sheep among the
cliffs and crags , and will bound about among
the rocks llko chamois. When wanted for
posting relays they will scamper nt call llko
an obedient dog , from the hillsides to the
gnardo or station. They ore positively com
panionable in their natures , and seem to
have the Teutonic qualities of strength and
endurance with the Celtic strain of versatil
ity , vivacity and genial enthusiasm. You
uvtinot travel In Norway without coming
to place the Norwegian ponies , In the pan
orama of your experiences nnd friendships ,
ns among the most agreeable of your ac
quaintances.
1'cctillnr Country "Station * . "
Whether the universal mad rush of tour
ists from place to place in Norway has In
fluenced certain governmental regulations ,
or whether the latter have brought about
the half-crazydlspatch Indulged In by tr.iv-
ulcrs , lam unable to say. They both exist ,
and both are Interesting ns a spectacle and
a study. There are few places in Norway
where strangers rest and social pleasures
are enjoyed ns at the American Newport and
Bar Harbor , at Torquay , Bideford. Buxton
and'Malvorn , in England , and at Hothcsay
and StrutticiTor \ , In Scotland. Along the
splendid fiords are a faw sunny spots with
villas and charming Inns , but outsldo the
cities nnd the fmv delightful halting places
hcalda the , ilords ttinrnurn roallv nn Inns In
Norway. Among all her thousands of miles
of noble roads are not a score of really com-
iortablo hoslolrlcs. Instead of these are
what ore known as "stations. " They are
found throughout Norway at distances of
six to ton or twelve miles apart , and their
charges for posting by carriole , and for some
portions of actual food and lodging ,
are regulated by governmental authority ,
These stations or "skydstations" a'l they
are called In Norway , are subsidized by the
state aild are under the strictest govern
ment control. There nro two classes , "fast-
stations , " whcro a stated number of car
rloles , stoll-carts and ponies are required to
bo kept by the master , aud the "tilsigolso"
"slow stations " which not
or , are compelled
to furnish any more conveyances or ponies
than can be conveniently kept , or procured
from neighboring farms. The slow stations
are also known as "forbud" stations , because
the tourist is liable to be detained for hours ,
and perhaps days , at these , unless ho sends
a ' 'forbud , " literally a "fore-goer , " or mes
senger , on In advance to bcsoeak his re
quirements. This "forhud" is the Norwe
gian courier , but is a far less imposing and
cogtly ono than ho who provides the chief
bane and expense of travel in Switzerland
and the Latin countries. The "forbud" may
bo a contle old man , a lively lad or a robust ,
barefooted lass ; and in any case the insig
nificant fixed fee and the trifling gratuity
you may add , are received with , such profu
sion of bowing , haudshakirie : and "Mango
takl" ( many thanks I ) that use be the "for
bud" Invariably proves a convleuence and
pleasure.
A Watchdog Daybook.
All of these posting stations have what t
called u daybook ( dagbog ) always lying upon
the common room table. On Ha first page
is the actual contract made between the
government and the station master. It
shows how many beds the station shall bo
provided with , the tariff for the same , the
number and character of vehicles and the
number of horses to bo in use , if a fast sta
tion , as well as the exact charge for pre
scribed mode of couvoyanco to the next sta
tion , each way. As the average official rate
for posting does not joxcood 3 cents per En
glish mile , the tourist can himself ascertain
the exact expense from , one station to
another. You. are also protected , against im
position in the tendency of landlords to de
tain and retain their guests for profit. The
handy daybook stands sentinel against this.
Each traveler , or representative of a party ,
before leaving a station must write his name
la the daybook aud state tho. exact number
of conveyances engaged , so that any one
following after may know if the absent vehi
cles fill the required quota.
It Is creditable to those sturdy Norwegian
folk that when a party arrives at a "fast"
station only to find that there is not a sufll-
cent number of conveyances , though the
legally required number is In use , that good
breeding rather than bullying and bribes
will universally secure soraa sort of relief
from your dilemma. A Norvvegion station
master la very seldom a truckling landlord.
Ho is almost always a bender , that is , a
proprietor of largo lands about the station ,
and a farmer on a respectable scale , who
has boon required by the government to provide -
vide posting and entertainment facilities.
In several instances' coming under my ob
servation ho Is the school master , and I
know of two who are clergymen. These
men all have a certain pride in their in
dividual possessions , their position or
character. Uccognizo this , and you will
load a-cllarmod llfo upon the roads of Nor
way. Gracious behavior will bring a score
of ponies from the hills and stoll carts from
the outlying farms , if you require them , but
If you intend being a boor or a cad
among those quiet , proud-spirited people ,
you should bring along your own conveyance
and supplies. The will not wrangle with
you. They will simply let you so much alont
that you might better bo cast upou a doser
Island.
Avenger of Wronged Travelers.
The station daybook has other Important
and Interesting uses. You are privileged by
Ian to set down In black and white , before
the station master's eyes , any complaint you
may foul It Is your duty to record. These
data are also retroactive. If the preceding
station master has given you a rcuuloss post
boy , or a dangerously weak carriole , or has
overcharged , you have sure means of reprisal
through the daybook. At stated periods the
Lcnsuiand , a circuit-riding olllcial , visits
each station. This somi-maglstrato is the
avenger of wronged travelers. If their con.o
plultits are well louiuled the offenders never'
escape adequate punishment , and I know of
no other country where such unfailing pro
tection to strangers is given. Intermingled
with complaints , praises and posting data ,
are very many curious travelers' written
memorials of comparison , of fanfaronade , of
wit , of pathos , of ill-spirited taint aud stain
from that class which sours and beclouds all
place und companionship. Ana one sentence
I saw at a mountain station in the Ilallngdul
district which read , "I must record in this
daybook that Norway would be altogether
suolhne , wore my llttlo absent darlings with
mo 1" told more than all the rout that ono
cannot get In so rumote a place on this round ,
huge globe , that there are uot still shining
clour und bright aud sure thoie slender but
mighty strands of human love which hold
all the world together.EIKIAU

Cnr or MEXICO , Nov. IS. Special to Tun
Bni ! . ] What at first appearance scorned to
bo the beginning of a revolution Incited by
the enemies ot the government , Is Just com
ing to a close in the state of Guerrero on the
western coast of Mexico. It now turns out
to bo a fight between rival factions in the
atato , led by Governor Arco , the present
executive , and General Canuto Ncrl , u rival.
The Ncri forces have been out on the war
path destroying government property nnd
Interfering with trafllo In all the ways
known to a band of renegades in a wild and
almost defenseless country.
Over 5,000 soldiers have been mobilized by
tlio federal government In the state , but
their pursuit of the troublesome Ncrl has
been rather unsatisfactory. The trouble Is
now proved to bo largely local in Its nature
by the Nerl forces malting no resistance to
the entrance into nnd occupancy ot the town
of Me.xcahi by the government troops.
General Ncri had previously assured Presi
dent Diaz by letter that his movements were
not against the general government , and
this last Incident would seem to prove the
assertion.
Governor Arco now says ho is going to
talco a hand In the matter himself. To this
end ho has resigned the governorship ot the
state and is going to have a squaring of ac
counts if ho can induce Ncrl and his iorco to
meet him and his followers.
It is probable the president will step in be
fore such an ovcnt , however , nnd malco a
thorough Investigation into both sides of the
case before rendering u decision , which will
doubtless bo llnal.
I'layful Karthqunko.
Southern and central Mexico was visited
with its regulation fall earthquake the other
day. This immediate portion or the sphere
got the customary hump on itself , gave a
few sportive pitches , Jumped stilt' legged
ouco or twice and acted up generally after
the fashion ot the playful bronco. These
'quakes ' are generally lelt throughout Mexico
ice , but rarely cross-tho northern border ,
probably because of the high protective
tariff along the Hlo Grande. The disturb
ances are caused by unusually violent erup
tions of the Mexican and Central American
volcanoes , this late ono emanating from the
depths of the Collma volcano in the state of
Jalisco , near the western coast.
A female bull fighter Is the latest innova
tion in sporting circles at Monterey. Sao
plants the bandcrillas in the neck of the
charging toro with alLthe abandon of n regu
lation bull baiter und draws down much ap
plause and silver from the benches.
The question of bull fighting In the City of
Mexico seems to bo settled in the negative ,
so far as the city proper is concerned , by the
location of the fights for the winter season
in the outlying towns , whore those , who take
delight in this variety of spectacle can go
with llttlo expenditure of time and money.
To Chance the Constitution.
A resolution to change the constitution of
Mexico Is being considered in tbo House of
Deputies , It provides for direct election by
the people of the governors of the states ,
and other Important state nnd municipal
officers , Instead of the appointive power
Doing vested In the president. Scoing the
advantage , of magistrates. ! ho. supreme
court and superior tribunal holding their
positions for life , or during good behavior , as
in the United States , this is also provided
for in the constitution. The present sys
tem of Judicial election in Mexico Is by direct
suffrage , but in the proposed change it would
bo by presidential selection and confirma
tion by ttfo Senate. The amendments have
been favorably received , and as they have
been practically promised by the platform of
the Diaz administration , will probably carry.
Peculiarly Atrocious 1'unlslunent.
The spectacle of a young girl crucified , and
dragged through the streets was one of the
sights in this city recently. For trifling
offenses a cruel guardian in the person of u
shrewish godmother by the name of Antonla
Hamirez had adopted the plan of binding
tho. girl to n rado wooden cross standing- ,
a corner of the housn in which they lived
and keeping her there for many hours at a
time as punishment. On complaint being
made to tbo police a raid was made on the
house and the whole collection , godmother ,
crucified child and nil , bundled off to the
police station through the streets. The
police had a hard struggle to prevent the
offending woman from betn ? killed by the
mob which gathered , infuriated by the
atrocious sight.
Industrial Itcform In Mexico.
From centuries of oppression and under
paid labor the industrial classes of Mexico
are beginning to rise and Intelligently dis
cuss peaceable means for relief. Looking
across the border to the north they see that
there is something better In store for the
working man UianSTj. cents a day In ex
change for long hours of toll , and a number
of siqull beginnings have boon made in the
union labor movement. The latest develop
ment is a wull defined effort , to organize a
branch of the typographical union , operating
under a Mexican charter , by progressive
Spanish printers in t Dia city.
There are about ,1,000 printers employed In
Mexico , it Is estimated , anjl these are work
ing In some ilOO odlces. In the City of Mexico
alone there are close to 100 papers , of which
twenty are dailies , and the city force of
printers is over 1,000. The desire Is to or
ganize the best compositors into a union and
uslc tljat the rata of composition bo placed
at 50 cents a thousand , the other general
rules and regulations of the union being
much tbo same as in the United States.
Mexican labor In this , as. in tbo other trades ,
is not so effective us in tno States , but a
Mexican typesetter will pllo up about 8,000
ems in a day , and thus at the desired rate
would earn what in Mexico represents the
sum of $4. _
Mciloim Huear and Coffee.
A trial shipment of a carload of Mexican
sugar Is now on its way from Tamplco to St.
Louis , the buyers being Missouri commission
men. If this shipment Unas ready sale it is
but the beginning of a heavy trade In Mexi
can sugar with thu United States. It IB es
timated there are JiO.OOO.OOO . pounds of the
saccharine product awaiting sale along the
line of the .Monterey & Gulf railroad alone ,
which can bo easily and cheaply transported
to the United States from Tarnplco by the
regular lines of steamers touching at New
Orleans , Now York and other coast ports.
On the completion of the Ti-huanteiioc
railway connecting the eastern and western
coasts of noutheru Mexico , coffee from the
rouubllc will enter ttio markets of the
United States as a bidder for favor along
with the older brands. At present the most
convenient market for the west coast colleo
of Mexico is San Francisco , shipment for
Now York and Europe needing tbo expense
of transfer at Panama. In this way the
freights on coffee are actually cheaper to
London th.iu to Now Orleans. ' Tlio comple
tion of the transmexican road will change
this , and steamers can bo easily laden at
Vera Cruz on the east coast for United
States points. ,
The shipping innovation inaugurated bv
this change would seem to bo a great ad
vantage to Galveston and Now Orleans in
making theao cities the great primary dis
tributing points for the central western
stateswhence the heavy jobbers of St.Louis ,
Omaha , Chicago and other commercial cea-
tarsean easily araw tholr supplies. The
largo Investments In Mexican cotfea lands are
being made by northern capitalists and ( tie
Increase in shipping facilities will In tlmora-
BUlt in a material lowering in the prica of
the coffee used in the United States.
Oradluc Up Stock.
The Improvement of the live stock of
Mexico is a subject which U attracting Increased -
creased attention in the republic each year.
AM the cattlemen ou the western plains saw
n few years ago , so the Mexican stack
frrowor are beginning to sco now , that the
native animals have too much balr , hoof and.
horn and not enough profit about thorn. The
Mexican hones are full bt mottle nnd en *
durance , but llko the Indlnu , ponies nro alto
gether too small ; Mexican cattle are moro
ngllo than meaty , and much the same can bo
said ot native shcop.
The advent of northonl owners of blooded
stock Into Mexico to conduct brooding estab
lishments and race coursqs Is looked upon
hopefully by progrcsslvo JIoxlcans , ns helpIng -
Ing to raise the cqulno standard , and n cattle -
tlo show Juit closed near'thls ' city shows the
excellent results of cros-flri Imported stock
with native cattle. The first progressive
flno stock raiser from the north who locates
a blooded cattle farm In the republic to sup
ply high grade bulls to tn'd Mexican ranch
men will stand.to win , Just as the blooded
horse association will almost to a certainty
do In thu move to Mexico now being made.
Blooded stock ot ill kinds commands gilt
edged prices In the south , and Mexico should
in the future furnish n profitable and ready
market for the overstocked farms of the
north.
