St. Petersburg, June S.-With Ambas- sador Meyers tender to the Emperor vesterday afternoon of PresidentRoose- yeIt's message rendering his good of- Aces, the prospects of the efforts of tbe President to bring the belligerents fogether in peace negotiations is be- iisved to be distinctly brighter.
 Ii is equally evident that the situa- tion is an exceedingly delicate one. Ambassador Meyer when seen by the Associated Press tonight absolutely de- clined to say a word regarding his visit to Tsarskoe-Selo. the mission which he is charged or the emperor's response
 The center of interest is again trans ferred back to Washington. Count Cassini has doubtless received instruc- lions from the emperor. However, it viii probably require some little time to finally decide whether success shall crown the Presidents efforts to end the war.
 The facts of Ambassador Meyers visit to Tsarskoe- is as yet known only in the higher official circles, many diplomats even being entirely unaware of this important event. Where it is known it has created intense interest.

Runsla Intere.ted.

St. Petersburg. June s.--The strug- gle between Sweden and Norway and fine prospects of a dissolution of the union, one of the principal objects Of which was the making of common cause against Muscovite influence, IS followed with close attention in Hus- sia.
 Ever since Peter the Great broke the might of Sweden at the battle of Pol tava in 1709 and annexed the Baltic provinces and part of Finland, Russian noiIcv has been directed towards weak enine the power of her ancient enemy. After the completion of the annexation of Finland by Alexander l. many Rus sian statesmen looked forward to the obtaining of a free port on the Norwe- gian coast. A narrow tongue of Fin land cuts deep into Sweden Norwegian territory at the end of which there Is eighteen miles of deep water and the harmon of Linge.
 Russia within recent years has been active on this frontier country where railroads have been surveyed and Slav influence is so strong there that fish erroen and other inhabitants of Norwe- eian Finland refer their disputes to the Russian authorities. The sympathy of Sweden for the Films in the struggle against the Classification of Finnland has been a thorn in the side of Russia. which naturally regards with compla- cency the dlminution os a Swedish prestige.
 Russia. however, Is in no position to take an active interest In the quarrel at the present time. Indeed, the i'm pression here is that there will be no open conflict and Russia will prob ably use her influence to refer the set clement of the trouble to an Interna- tional tribunal.

An seen In Europe.

London, June S.--The revolution in Norway, though anticipated and peace fully effected, has come on Europe with unexpected suddenness and the ques- ton is asked with some anxiety wheth- CT it will mean International complica- tions. Had Russia not been involved in a difficult war In the Far East, 1t is doubtful whether Norway would have taken the present momentous step which is likely to be regarded with approval by European powers.
 Emperor Williams omission of his customary tour of Norway this year seems to indicate his disapproval of the Norwegian policy, and the fact that the coup d 'etat Is not unlikely to eventu- ate in the establishment of Norwe- gian republic would alone be reason why the step would not commend itself to the monarchieal powers.
 It is not thought that King Oscar will consent to junior member of his family becoming King of Norway. This proposal is regarded as an attempt to paliiate the blow to the deposed King, and the opinion of English newspapers is that the suggestion is quite imprac" ticable,

Not Unexpected.

The dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway has been pending for some time and had its growth in the desire, which grew stronger as time passed, for the establishment or sepa- rate consular systems for the two coun4 tries. King Oscar recently vetoed at Stockholm the measure presented to him by the Council of State providing for separate consular representations and the Norwegians maintained that the King, by so doing, and partly by his absence from Norway. had suspended his rights and duties as King of Nor way.
 One of the causes for the desire in Sweden and Norway for separate con- sular systems was the fact that Sweden is protectionist and Norway is for free trade. and also because of Norway's more extensive sea trade and other divergencies of commercial interests.
 At the opening of the session the Government informed the Storthing that 1t relinquished office from today.

 It is not anticipated that King os- car will consent to any prince of the house of Bernadotte accepting the Nor wegian crown. Should the King re- fuse, there Is a possibility that the throne may be offered to Prince Walde- mar, the third son of King Christian of Denmark. The people of Denmark largely sympathize with the Norwegian demands.

STOCKHOLM LOYAL.
An Outburst of Popular Sympathy for
 the King.

Stockholm. June 1.-The Norwegian coup de'etat was answered here to- night by great patriotic demonstra- tion of loyalty to and sympathy with King Oscar. A great procession ac- companied by bands. went to Rosendai Castle, where the bands played the national anthem. In few minutes tho King and other members of the royal family appeared on a balcony of the castle and were cheered by the demonstrators, while number of la-. dies advanced from the crowd and pre- sented the King with bouquet. Though greatly excited over the situa- tfon. the population remains outwardiy calm.
 King Oscar held a conference this afternoon at which the situation was considered.
 Newspapers commenting on the ac- ton of the Norwegian Storthing, take an extremely serious view of the crisis. The Nya Dagligh AiIehanda says: The Norwegian Government has exceeded cording to its conviction that 1t was for the country's welfare and no Swe- dish party or politician will attempt to persuade or to compel Norway to main tain union which had become a bur- den. The Swedish Diet will meet In ex- traordinary session in fortnight and will speak in the name of Sweden. Meanwhile, the King of the union speaks in the name of the union and has already protested against the revo- lution which is contemplated in his Norwegian kingdom"
 The Dagb1ad says: The Revolution ists have now unmasked themselves, and have trampled upon the union and upon their oath of allegiance to the King. As soon cs possible all Nor wegians employs in our diplomatic service must ba removed. Sweden can not be represented by men belonging to a country which organizes a revolution, dethrones it's King and breaks all ties of union."
