Berlin, April 1.-THE latest news from
Stockholm is far from reassuring. The
situation in Norway does not improve.
A royal commission of eight members Of
the diet is sitting secretly and trying to
devise means of upholding King Oscar
in his refusal to yield to the Norwegian
majority. The commission was convol1ed

session before since the Crimean crisis.
The members are now said to have advised
the government to mobilize the fleet at
once and to prepare to mobilize the army.

offered to withdraw from the duel already
arranged between him and DR.. Kotze. All
except the conservative newspapers con-
denim the principals in the Kotze chal-
lenges and duel. The meeting yesterday,
they say was the worst possible example
