 The house transacted a large amount of routine business.
 The bill which provides for personal tax of s2 yearly in lieu of poll or com mutation taxes to be paid by males be- tween the ages of q and 60 passed by the house last week and later reconsid- cred and tabled was called up in that body this morning by Representative Holconb of Torrington.
 Representative Griswold of Guilford thought it would be "a great mistake to establish a personal tax in place of military tax. The income of the Ma tional Guard, he argued, would be ma terially reduced. Representative Atwater of Waterbury said that the bill would not benefit ex- isting conditions. The enforcement of ,, the present law, he said, was the only remedy. He intimated that the cities were behind the bill.
 The house, after some further discus sion, refused to entertain a motion to reconsider the bill.

 "Your Fajesty:-
 Whereas, all the members of the council of state have laid down their offices;
 Whereas, His majesty, the king, has declared himself unable to establish a new government for the country, and
 Whereas, The constitutional regal power thus becomes imperative,

the Norwegian people have no loftier wish than to live in good harmony with all and not least with the people of Sweden and the dynasty under the di- rection of which our country, despite many and bitter disputes affecting the union, has attained such important in- tellectual and material development.
 "As evidence of the fact that the work and struggle of the Norwegian people for the full independence of the fatherland has not been founded on any ill-feeling towards the royal house or the Swedish people, and has not left behind any bitterness towards either of these, the storthing respectfully so- licits your majesty's cooperation to the end that a prince of your majestys house may be permitted, while relin- gushing his right of succession to the throne of Sweden, to accept election as king of Norway.
 "The day on which the Norwegian people elect their own king to ascend the ancient throne of Norway will open up an era of more tranquil conditions in Norway, of good and cordial rela- tions with the Swedish people, and of peace, concord, and loyal cooperation in the north for the protection of the culture of the people and their free- dom and independence. Convinced of this, the storthing ventures to express the confident hope that what has now been done will turn out to be for the good of all as well as of your majes- ty, for whose person the Norwegian people will retain their high respect and devotion" .

 If d prince of the house of Bernadotte should consent to occupy the throne of Norway, he must give up all idea of succession to the Swedish throne. 3 M. Arctander will be Norway's first foreign minister. He is now chief of the departments of commerce, naviga- ton and industry.
 It is learned that Crown Prince Gus tave will return immediately from Ber- lin.
 It. is understood that an extraordin- will be called June 26, if not earlier, as the result of to-day's action of the storthing.
 The dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway has been pending for some time, and had it's growth in the desire of separate consular systems for the two countries King Oscar re- gently vetoed at Stockholm the measure presented to him by the council of state providing for separate consular representation, and the Norwegians maintained that the king, by so doing and partly by his absence from Nor way, had suspended his rights and du- ties as king of Norway. One of the causes for the desire in Sweden and Norway for separate consular systems was the fact that Seweden is protec- tionist and Norway is for free trade, and also because of Norway's more ex- tensive sea trade and other divergen- cies of commercial interests.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-06-08

desire and will of individuals has led to this rssult. The union entered upon in 1874 has from the first hour been differently interpreted by the two na- tions, both with regard to it's spirit and letter. Efforts have been made on the Swedish side to extend the union and on the Norwegian side to eonfine it to the limit laid down by the Act of Union, and otherwise to assert the independent power of both states in all matters not defined in that act as coming under the union. The difference in principle in the interpretation of the character of the union has provoked much misunderstanding between the two peoples and has caused much fric- tion in the interpretation, which, dur ing the recent negotiations between the two countries has bsen laid down by Sweden as against Norway.
 ''The Norwegian people were bound to perceive the injury to their constitu- tionaI right, their independence, and their national honor. The union was justified so long as it could contribute to the welfare and happiness of both peoples while maintaining their inde- pendence as sovereign states. But above the union there stands for us NorWegians our Norwegian. fatherland and for the Swedes their Swedish fa- therland, while, more valuable than the political union, ara the feelings of soli- darity and voluntary cohesion of both peoples. The union has become a dan ger to this feeling of solidarity of the Norwegian and Swedish peoples, which should secure the happiness of both nations and constitute their strength abroad.

 At the White House up to a late hour it was declared that the important ca blegram from Mir. Meyer had not yet reached the president. The president remained at the White House through out the evening attending, after Mir.
 Takahira's call, to some work in his li- brary. None of his secretaries were at the executive offices during the evening, and 1t was stated officially that if the ambassadors report Of his audience
 with the czar should be received late tonight, 1t would not be presented to the president until morning. X .& Baron Von Sternberg the German am bassador, returned to Washington to- night. He will probably see the pres ident tomorrow. Sir Mortimer Dur

 here several days longer. He will not summoned by the president. nor has he yet seen the president. Both ambassa- dors are keeping their governments fully informed of developments here, but little activity is yet reported from official adyices from Europe.
 Whether upon receiving from Count
 Cassini an official expression that the i czar wishes to know the mikado's s
 psaee terms the president will be able to obtain 2 statement of this subject from Japan remains to be seen.
 Diplomats, however, recall the state-
 ment of Mr. Takahira some days ago
 to the effect that when Russia really | wanted to know Japan's terms she
 could easily find them out without com
 municatng directly with Tokio. This
 is taken to mean that with such an of ficial intimation in his possession, the
 president can obtain from MT. Takahi
 ra, the Japanese minister at Washing
 ton, a general statement of Japan's I terms for transmission to Russia.
 ! Great Britain, as the ally of Japan | it is understood here, has felt unable to
 participate in the preliminary activities initiated by the president since the ami l hilation of the Russian fleet.
 Desirous as is the London govern
 ment for peace, it's officials point out l that so far as an ally can determine I Japan has not been unreasonable I throughout the present struggle.
