The storthing has passed, by vote
OF "a to 80, resolution asserting the
right of Norway to a separate consular
service abroad and complete autonomy
at home in all matters not described in
the act of union of 1894 as pertaining
to the union of Norway and Sweden.
The resolution is somewhat more rad
zeal than a similar one which was
passed by vote of 60 to 40 last June,
and which resulted ultimately in the
micr. after King Oscar had refused to
sanction the decision of the deputies.
A repetition of the cabinet crisis and
the deadlock of last summer between
the king and parliament is imminent.

edge that Most recently had private
meeting with Superintendent Byrnes
and Police Commissioner Martin, of
New York city, at which, 1t is said, he
promised not only to stop dcnouncing
the police in future but also to divulgc
the secrets concerning the doings of
his fellow anarchists on condition that
he himself be allowed hereafter to en-
joy his gains in peace.
