London, Sept. ia Stockholm dis
patch says that the Swedes generally
are opposed to any concession that

ward Norway and they want that

sooner or later, 1t is expected to learn.
The Norwegian agitation is attributed
to Russian influences chiefly. The Rus

an ambitious eye on the peninsula. fhe
Norwegian demand for more equita-
bic disposition of authority has given
Russia Its chance, and it is said the
