SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
They Seem to be Near the Partinu
Of the WaYs

Christiana, Feb. 9.-In the Stor-
thing today DR.. Hagerup. the Norwcg-
ian premier. made a significant speech
announcing the failure of negotiations
between Sweden and Norway on the
question of separate consular repre-
sentatiOn. He said most serious
situation was thus created. The peo-
pie OF Norway were animated by a
desire to continue the good under.
standing with neighboring nations,
but the rpesent conditions of tine uE-
ion are undesirable and cannot con-
tinue without the endangering OF these
relations.
1t was the duty, he said, of the
StOrthing to make an unrestricted pro.
vision for the assumption by Norway
of the national and International pc.
sition to which she is entitled as a
sovereign state, and more free work
ing forms of cooperation must be con-
sidered if the existing bonds of union
between Sweden and Norway are to
continue.
