Claimed that the Moroccan Question Was
not Considered.

New York, June 7.--According TO the
Paris correspondent Of the Times the
chief cause for Foreign Minister Del
casse's resignation was not the state Of
Moroccan affairs, but his refusal to in
ternationalize the Abssinian railways.
Both in France and England, the cores
pondent asserts, strong financial inau-
ence was brought to bear to render M.
Delcasse's scheme in respect to the rail-
ways abortive. 1t Is now expected, the
dispatch add, that the negotiations
which have been proceeding with Rome
and London on the subject Of Ambys-
sinia will now have different issue than
was at first expected.

Stockholm, June THE Norwegian
coup.d'etat was answered here tonight

loyalty to and sympathy with King Os'

BY bands, was formed and went TO Rose'

In a few minutes the king and other
members OF the royal family appeared
on the balcony of the castle and were en-
thusia stically cheered by the demonstra'
tors, while number Of ladies advanced
from the crowd and presented the king
with boquet.
Though greatly excited over the sit
nation, the populace remains outwardly
calm. King Oscar held council this
evening at which the situation was con-
sidered. The newspapers OF Stockholm

serious view OF the crisis. The NyaI
