STOCKHOLM. June 9-Crown
Prince Gustave arrived this morn
INK from Berlin and was received
with great enthusiasm by the peo-
Pile. The Swedish parliament has
been called for June 26.
Crown Prince Gustave was re-
ceMed by Crown Prince Frederick
OF Denmark. at Copenhagen. and
appeared TO be much concerned
over the situation. Gustave had a
long interview on the crisis with
Emperor William before he left
Berlin and It is understood that the
emperor is not unwilling to inter
fere in favor of the Swedish dy-
nasty.
An authority intimately connect
ed with the emperor confirms a ru-
NOR that he abandoned his trip TO
Norway at the request OF Crown
Prince Gustave.
The general opinion is that the
crown prince is more reeoncilable
to Norway's dissolution than was
his father and there Is no doubt that
he induced King Oscar 70 veto the
consular bill.
