measure known as the Santa Fe purchase
bill The members of the anti-funding
committee profess to believe that the

GUSTAV WILL Be
FURTHER SNUBBED
Growing Feeling Against
the Crown Prince.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHRISTIANIA, March 16.-Sixty Lei
tist members of the Storthing. the
legislative assembly of Norway, have
declined an invitation to. dine with the
Swedish Crown Prince Gustaf, who is
acting as regent of Sweden and Nor
way during the absence of King Oscar
1, who is in Southern France, seeking
to recuperate his health.
The refusal of the Norwegian Iegisla-
tors to accept the hospitality of the re-
gent is dOubly significant as emphasiz-
ing the resentment provoked in Norway
by a recent saying of the Crown Prince
! in a public meeting at Stockholm that
he would not object to lead the Swedes
against the headStrong NorWegians in
a resort to arms to settle the quarrel
between the two countries, and is the
most striking Indication of open en-
nifty to Sweden which has been shown
in Christiania of late. A few nights
ago, while the Crown Prince was re-
turning from the Military Club in
ChriStiania, he met a crowd of people
who hooted him and peIted him with
snowballs. The Norwegian papers
condemned the demonstration, describ-
ing 1t as IN any event purely personal
incident. But the refusal of the mem
bers of the Storthing to dine with the
regent has wider bearings and is in the
nature of a political protest against the
continuance of the union with Sweden.
In spite of the action of the Storthing
last winter in legalizing the adoption Of
the separate Norwegian flag an over
whelming majority of the people. of
Norway bitterly opposes the existing
regime. OF late, in both Norway and
Sweden, there has been an ominous in
crease of military and naval forces,
with clearly one object in view, to sup
port, if necessary, by arms all claims
which may lead to an entire separation
of the two countries.
The opposition to the continuance of
the union is stronger in Norway than
in Sweden, but even the SWedes con-
tend that the existing union, which
rests upon the Riksakt, or Greater
Charter, declaring an irrevocable union.
without prejudice to the separate gov
ernment, constitution and laws of each
country cannot be continued without
notifications of radical character.
Norway's political grievance is that she
is deprived of her just share in the
common government, but the principal
grievances are Of commercial origin
and provoked by the foreign trade in
terests of the two countries. Their com
mercial policies are diametrically op-
posed, Sweden having adopted protec-
tionism and Norway free trade.
