Swedish People Stand by King.
Ctn1lyhnly, INV, 1 n Tho \nrl-ATt,r,
coup d'etat Vas answered here last
night by a great patriotic demonstra-
ton Of loyalty to and sympathy with
King Oscar. A great procession ac-
companied py bands went to Rosendal

tiOnal anthem. In a few minutes the
king and other members of the royal
family appeared on a balcony of the
castle and We're enthusiastically
cheered by the demonstrators, while a
number of ladies advanced from the
crowd n presented the king with a
bouquet.
Though greatly excited over the sit
uation the populace remain outwardly
calm.
King Oscar held a council this even
Ing at which the situation was consid-
cred.
No BIoodshed, Says Newspaper.
The newspapers, commenting on the
action of the Norwegian storthing, take
an extremely serious view Of the crisis.
The Nya Dagligt A%llehanda says:
The Norwegian government has eX-
ceeded all limits, but undoubtedly it
acted according to its conviction that it
was for the country's welfare. and no
Swedish party or politician will at
tempt to persuade or to compel Nor
way to maintain a union which has be-
come a burden. The Swedish diet will
meet in extraordinary session in a fort
night. and will speak in the name Of
union speaks in the name of the union.
and has already protested against the
revolution hich is contemplated in his
Norwegian kingdom"
The Dagblad says:
THE revolutionists have now I'M
masked themselves and have trampled
upon the union and upon their oath Of
allegiance to the king. AS soon as pos
sible all NorwegianS employed in our
diplomatic service must be removed.
Sweden cannot be represented by men
belonging to a country which organi- 8
a revolution, dethrones its king and
breaks all ties of union"
Would Fight for Rights.
Christiania. June 10-After the storth-
ing had adopted the resolution Presi-
dent Burner in a short speech empha-
sized the serious Importance of the
step taken and concluded with saying:
May God protect the fatherland.''
The whole assembly Joined in the pres
dents devout wish.
The storthing will, if necessary. de-
fend the step taken today by force of
arms.
If a prince Of the house of Bernadotte
should consent to occupy the throne of
Norway. he must give up all idea of sue
%cession to the Swedish throne.
NJ. A~rctander will be Norway's first
foreign minister. He is now chief of
the department of commerce, naviga-
ton and industry.
Norway Asks Present Recognition.
1t is certain hat the present govern
ment. whose plans were carefully laid,
will take steps to escure the recognition
of Norway as a separate state by all
the foreign powers. King Oscar, up to
the present, has not given any intima-
ton of the course he intends to pursue
beyond recording his firm protest
against today's proceedings. While, of
course, popular feeling in Sweden and
Norway runs high. there has been nc
breach Of good order anywhere. The
people for some time have realized thai
a crisis was at hand and We're prepared
for yesterdays denouement.
From the highest to the lowest the
same quiet and determined demeano1
is noticeable.
In official Swedish circles the Asso.
Ciated Press has been informed that II
is absolutely certain that Sweden vii
not use force against Norway, and thai
every effort will be made to avoid a
resort to arms. The Norwegians take
the same position, but it is openly
stated that should Sweden choose sucl
n curse the Norwegians will moi
shirk the issue.
