STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 9.-King
Oscar decided at meeting of the coun-
Gil OF state today to summon the riks-
dag for an extraordinary session June 80
The crown prince was present at the sit
ting which had before it the resolution of
the Norwegian storthing, which the pre-
mier denounced as revolutionary.
by this revolutionary proceeding said
the premier, the storthing has, not only
without the cooperation of the king, but
without the least consideration of Sweden
and on it's own authority. determined upon
the rupture of the union, which existed by
virtue of a mutual convention drawn up
in accordance with the laws and which can
in no way be broken without the assent
of the two countries. Inasmuch as the reso-
luton of the storthing is a great and
profound violation of the rights of Sweden
1t is indisputably necessary that the riksdag
should be summoned in extraordinary Ses-
sion without delay to deliberate on the
measures to be taken by Sweden in view of
what has passed" 7'
The designations of the ministers of
Sweden and Norway at Copenhagen, Rome
