TO TREAT WITH NORWAY.
.Szgedish Councils Plan to Find q
Basis of Dissolution.

Stockholm June 2O-The Council of State at
a meeting to-day adopted a proposition which
will be presented to the Riksdag at its opening
tomorrow morning. According to the best IN
formation, the main points are that Sweden re-
fuses to recognize the one-sided dissolution Of
the union by the Storthing, but the government
asks the Rksdag for authority to enter into
negotiations with Norway in order to establish
the basis for a dissolution which both coun-
tries can agree and amicable relations be main
tanned.
The sessions of both chambers OF the Riksdag
opened to-day. Baron Essex took the chair in
the upper house. There no undue excite
ment in either chamber or in the precincts. but
the large crowds gathered in front of the Par
lament buildings showed the keen public in
terest taken in the outcome of the session
President Swarthing made speech in the
lower house. saying that the hope of Sweden In
regard to the union had vanished and NorwayS
negation of the union had been accomplished in
such a manner that it would be difficult to make
any attempt to reopen the negotiations.
Christiania, June 2O-The address to King
oscar, the Riksdag and the Swedish people.
adopted by the Storthing yesterday, in reply to
the Kings letter. is of conciliatory character,
but indicates the unalterable determination Of
the Storthing to adhere to the action taken in
dissoving the union with Sweden. The address
repudiates any idea of in1icting modification on
Sweden. and says the dissolution of the union
was the only course open to Norway. 1t adds
that not the slightest bitterness is entertained
toward King Oscar the Swedish people, and
concludes:
If the future settlement can be attained with
out prejudice and bitterness, the Storthing Is
convinced that what has happened will prove for
the lasting welfare of the Northern peoples. For
the sake of the North the Storthing addresses
this appeal to the people whO by magnanimity
and chfvalry have attained for themselves such
an eminent place among nations, and with whom
the Norwegian people desire most sincerely TO
maintain good relations.

st. Petersburg June 20.-The only hope for
armistice pending the meeting of the peace
plenipotentia-ies seems to rest with President
Roosevelt and even that is considered to be
slender. In spite of dispatches from Washing
ton indicating the possibility that Count Cas-
sini and Minister Takahira may sign tenn
porary armistice before the end of the week.
the Foreign Office says positively that there
have been no official exchanges on the subject
According to the view expressed by the Foreign
Offices recognized mouthpiece there Is not
much expectation that suspension Of hostilities
be arranged.
The impression here continues strong that
Japan only with great reluctance could be in
duced to forego the advantages Of her strategic
position. which, in spite of the tone of the official
advices from the front, is regarded as being
altogether favorable to Field Marshal Oyama-
It is suggested here that Japan deliberately
planned to postpone the meeting long enough to
give Oyama a chance to administer fresh de-
feat In order to rob the war party in Russia Of
its last card
According to reports current in this city some
preliminares looking to an armistice have al
ready taken place between General Linevitch
and Field Marshal Oyama, but the War Office
offers no. confirmation of this. On the con-
trary, the news from the front, although meagre.
all seems to indicate that the japanese advance
has begun.

In view of the prospect of general engagement,
are fastening their round of official visits in
order to get to the front In time to see something

several of the Ministers. Tomorrow the Amer
lean officers will be received by the Emperor at

London Eapects Ne7Vs from the
Combined armies from C0rea.

London, June 21-London displays ever
lessening belief in the possibility Of an armis-
tice being concluded before General Linevitch
and Field Marshal Oyama have tried conclu-
sions. It seems to be believed here that the
next important news will be that the Japanese
armies. under Generals Hasegawa and Kawa-
mura, in cooperation. have seized Ninguta, thus
cutting the railroad between Harbn and Vladi-
vostok.
A japanese correspondent of THE Morning
POST says he thinks that neither belligerent
will now pay attention to territorial bounda-
res, and adds that it is quite probable that
Oyama has sent large force on a wide turn

territory.

ST. KILD4 CASE SERIOUS.
British Government Roused by the
Action of Russian Cruisers.

London. June 20.-Premier Bafour, replying to
a question in the House of Commons to-day. said
that correspondence was going on with the Rus
sian government in regard to the sinking of the
British steamer St Klda. The government took
a very serious view of the matter, because it had
received the most specific assurances that no
such action would again be taken
The recent movements of British cruisers in
the Far East are taken to mean that the Ad-
miralty has again undertaken to notify to the
Russian cruisers Count Lamsdorff's instructions
that there is to be no further sinking of neutral
sHps; AT any rate, shipowners much re-
