Berlin, April THE maturing conflict
between Norway and Sweden has given
rise to strange reports IN Berlin Since
Tuesday it has been a common statement
that should the two kingdoms resort to
force. Emperor William would take up
arms rather than permit the threatened In
reference of Russia. He is said TO have
promised King oscar as much. Although
the official circles dscredit this report,
the mere thought Of II has sufced to
.fasten general attention upon the swift
course of events in the Scandinavian pc
ninsula.
Yesterdays dispatches from Stockholm
while not confirming the predictions Of
war describe the situation as very serious.
Since King Oscar returned to Stockholm.
negotiations have been resumed in Chris

servative right, Minister Stang and the lib
eral leader. Herr Steen but with little pros
pcct of success as Minister Stang insists
upon his resignation. Herr Michelet adj
mits that he cannot form a ministry with
any hopes of governing under the const-
tuition, and Herr Steen threatens to i'm
peach the members of any cabinet trying
to override the majority. Although this
deadlock seems to render any peaceable
settlement impossible it is still a good
way this side of civll war Russia's atti-
tude toward the conflict is in doubt, but
as usual she IS suspected Of designs upon
Norway.
With the alarmlst rumors Of the em-
peror's promise to King Oscar has come
a batch of gossip as to the relations be-
tween St. Petersburg and Berlin. The
two courts are supposed to be less friend
ly now than a few weeks ago. The Tag
eblatt says the ear gave Emperor VIII
liam no advance information as to Prince
Lobanons appointment to the ministry
of foreign affairs. Although the prince
at the time was ambassador-elect to Ger
many, the German emperor first learned
the news from Emperor Franz Joseph.
The Tageblatt says Emperor William was
so chagrined by this snub that he at once
recalled Gen. Won Werder. whose business
It was TO learn tho change of plan in st.
Petersburg.
The statement that the czar and czarina
will not come to Berlin this year Is regard
ed as additional proof of the estrange-
ment, although as the ezarlna's accouche-
ment is expected TO take take place early
In September Il is difficult TO see how
the visit could be mace even If Russia
and Germany were on the verge of an al
lance. Prince Radoln's appointment to
succeed Baron Werder is said to have
been made out of spite Baron Randolin
Is an enthusiastic Pole and once advocated
Polish autonomy openly Such char
acter is not adapted to please the Russian
official circle although as a diplomatist
Of the first rank, Baron Randolin may be
able to make a place for himself at the
Russian court.
Whatever the relations between st.
Petersburg and Berlin, they did not pre-
vent the car from giving Baron Werder
a grand farewell banquet Thursday. The
czarina and several other members of the
imperial family were present, besides
Count Vorontzoff-Dashkoff minister of
the imperial household, and Gems, Richter
and Tcheryine. No important develop
ments are likely to come before both OF
the new ambassadors assume their duties.
Prince Bismarck has had rest from
public receptions, but will resume work

Prussian high schools will 60 to Freld-

leges in Aachcn, Brunswick, Dresden and

Prince Arenburg, who represents Ba-

been turned out of the presidency Of the
Berlin colonial society, because he voted
against congratulating Prince Bismarck.
