King Oscar or Crown Prince David will !
yield to the request of the Norwegian |
Storthing to place a prince of the house !
of Bernadotte on the throne of Norway has |
disappeared, according to high authority. |
The Danish royal family has also set the |
stamp of disapproval of the acceptances |
of the throne by a Danish prince. 1t is
understood that agreements are actually !
being made for a national convention in |
Norway, and this 1t is believed will inevit |
ably result in the declaration of a republic |
Powers May Bring Pressure.
According to well informed persons Rus
sia and Germany will refuse to recognize |
the Norwegian government until King Os
car consents to the disruption of the union. |
Strong efforts arc being made to secure
similar action by other governments in
cluding that of Denmark and it is stated
that these efforts are meeting with encour-
agement.
The Norwegian press and people accord
ing to advices received here remain singu-
larly undemonstrative. Premier Michael
sen wants no demonstrations and today re-
fused to permit a large procession. In re-
fusing the premier said: 1T is too early
to claim victory which has not yet been
definitely gained. Our most serious diff
culties are probably ahead"

the action by the Storthing, by Premier
Michaelsen, who informed them prior to

the minister of Sweden and Norway at
| Madrid and who is a Norwegian, is leaving
the Spanish capital today for Christiania.

The government of Norway and the
! Storthing continue to receive from all parts
of the country expressions of gratitude for
their action and the communal authorities
are voting addresses approving of the new
| regime
A telegram from Bjornstjerne Bjornson
today sums up the popular feeling as fol-
| lows:
| The address to the king is expression
| of the will of the entire Norwegian people.
| The dissolution of the union Is a blessing
for the entire north.
The substitution of the Norwegian tri-
| color for the union flag occurred through
| out the country with the same ceremony
that characterized it's hosting over the
| Akershus fort.
| In statements made by DIR. Hagerup
| former premier, Mr.. Berner, president of
| the Storthing; Mr.. Loveland, the new
foreign minister and other prominent Nor
wegian politicians, they all dsavow any
idea of war with Sweden or complication
with foreign powers.

will continue to preserve the strictest neu
trality, keeping outside of all combina'
tions with other nations, and only en-
deavoring to discuss with Sweden and Den
mark the best means of acting together for
the common good
quiet and order continue to be preserved
everywhere.

STOCKHOLM, June 9.-Crown Prime
Gustav, on his return from Berlin today
was met by the royal family the minister
and large crowd Of people, who cheeret
him enthusiastically. The city is decorated
with fia-s.
King Oscar decided at a meeting of thu
council of state today to summon the Riks
dag for an extraordinary session June 30
The crown prince was present at the sit
ting, which had before 1t the resolution o.
the Norwegian Storthing which the premie
denounces as revolutionary.
BY this revolutionary proceeding, said thu
premier, the Storthing has, not only with
out the cooperation of the king, but with
out the least consideration of Sweden
and on it's own authority, determined upol
the rupture of the union which existed by
virtue of a mutual convention drawn ul
in accordance with the laws and which cai
in no way be broken without the assent o
the two countries. Inasmuch as the reso
luton of the Storthing is a great and pro
found violation of the rights of Sweden
It is indisputably necessary that the Riks
dag should be summoned in extraordinar,
session without delay to deliberate on tn
measures to be taken by Sweden in view
of what has passed.
The designations OF the ministers Of Swe
den and Norway at Copenhagen, Rom
e and Madrid were rendered by telegraph
, and accepted.
