Rain Favors the Enemy.

Fort Monroe, Va, June Ftp to l o'clock this morning Admiral Dickns had made no attack on Fort Monroe and nothing concerning the movements of his fleet during the last eleven hours was known here. Conditions are favorable to him as rain has been falling steadily since shortly before dark and in conse- quence the searchlights at the fort and its outlaying stations are less effective than they would be in clear weather.
 The lights, however, were in constant operation and Colonel Potts scout boats close watch, while the fort, the gunners and artillerists were ready for instant action. An engagement is not generally expected tonight. it being the impression that the naval force will conclude it's operations in the Potomac river and the upper Chesapeake bay be- fore moving on this fort.

Future Foreign Minister Dis-
 cusseS the Situation
FOR INTEREST OF BOTH
Norway Has Nothing Against Sweden But Believes Both Countries Will Be Benefited by
 Dissolution.

Christiania, Norway, June 12.-Mr. Loeveland former president of the sec- tion of the Norwegian counsel of the state of Stockholm, who will be indueted Into his office of foreign minister of Norway, June 15, in an interview with the correspondent of the Associated Press today said that special envoy would within a few weeks be dispatched to the great powers to seek the recognition of the diplomatic and consular representa- tlves of Norway.
 Regarding the probable difficulties to be encountered Mir. Loeveland declined to express himself, but he said that the envoy would convey the best wishes of the Norwegian powers. and he made the following statement.
 "When our case Is presented to the powers, said MT. Loeveland .it will be seen that it Is not one of antagonism to the principles of monarchies nor a single monarchy. Norway has been kingdom for many centuries and is proud of that fact. The dissolution of the union was purely on constitutional grounds. Our constitution existed prior to the union with Sweden and when there came 0 conflict between the two peoples Norway chose to retain her constitution.
 Purely Economic Differences.
 "Our difference with Sweden Is i'll the first place of an economic character, Our commercial interests, our tariffs and our entire economic policy differ from those of Sweden While the diplomatic and consular ideas were based on the ideas governing the union of the two coun- tries, they worked to the profit of Swe- den rather than to the of Norway.
 "Norways merchant marine now ranks fourth among the nations and Norway no longer can afford to negotiate with foreign powers through Stockholm The union, however, was dissolved only when the conflict became a question of our sover- eighty.
 We hope the powers will make no mis- take regarding our action. We have never tried to create danger for Sweden and will never seek to make difficulties for our sister country. We are arranging to ben eft the common interests of each country and not for our common safety.
 Is Willing to Fight. :.
 "The action taken by the Storthing is irrevocable and the powers should realize the fact that Norway will fight before this action is reconsidered The question of peace rests with Sweden, but the early recognition of our independence will be of interest to the powers as we'll as to ourselves
 Immediately upon the dissolution of the union Norway informed Sweden of it's willingness to open diplomatic relations, but we are jealous of our Independence and of our future and will avoid all al- dances and will not subject ourselves to the influence of any great power"
 MT. Loeveland said he thought Norwe gian interests would not suffer during the Interim in which the country would not b. represented abroad. Fortunately, he said, Norways biggest trade was with Great Britain, Germany. the United States and France. where for short period ccnsuls were not indispensable
