BERLIN, July 1A-The substance of the
statement made at Stockholm yesterday
to the effect that a German-swedish alli-
ance was seriously contemplated was sub
mitted to the foreign Office here today and
the authoritative statement was made that
the question Of an ALLIANCE between Ger
many and Sweden had never come before
the foreign office. nor had 1t been discussed
to the slightest extent OF course the for
eign Office could not deny that Emperor
William and King Oscar had not spoken of
an alliance during their interview at Gene
yesterday because the subjects Of their
conversation are not known here.
Professor Kondrad Bornhak. an authority
on international law, discussing the ques-
tion whether King Oscar is still King Of
Norway or not, says definite reply cannot
be given. He is still king of Norwoy ac-
cording to the constitution of Sweden. but
according to the constitution of Norway he
has ceased to be king OF Norway, but there
is no Doubt as to the propriety of King
Oscar styling himself king of Sweden and
Norway. James II, after he had been
deposed as king of England, and while a
gnest OF Louis XIV OF France continued to
call himself king OF France as we'll as the
king Of England, although France had been
lost to the British crown since the time
of Henry VI Emperor Francis Joseph
today, as the Austrian coinage shows. calls
himself king of Lombardy and Venice, al
though he is a friend OF King Victor
Emmanuel and king of Jerusalem, without
Turkey having objected. The Russian
emperor names himself duke of Schleswig-
Holstein and duke Of Oldenburg without
offending Germany. The Russian emperor
-
Norway.
No indication of the result of the meeting
between Emperor William and King Oscar
yesterday has reached Berlin, nor is any
report of their conversation likely to oe
made public. as it is explained here that
this was a strictly private visit of one
sovereign to another. The initiative will
probably come from this side as the en-
peror desired to have FIRST hand knowledge
OF the egfansSwedish situation. The
German governments policy. as the Asso-
ciAted Press is informed, is one of COM
plete aloOfness-almost of Indifference. 1t
is expected here that a result of the
meeting yesterday Emperor William and
Germany win be described in some coun-
tries as taking undue interest in Scandi-
navian AFFAIRS and is seeking for a way to
influence settlement. Such an idea is
disavowed in advance.
KIEL. July H.-Emperor William has ap-
pointed King oscar grand admiral in the
German navy.

ters were in full agreement that Prince

other courts most nearly concerned ex-
pressed their approval, King Christian and
the other members of the Danish royal
} family are also favorable TO Prince Charles
becoming king of Norway.
