MAY TAKE DANE FOR MONARCH.
Unless Oscar Speedily Approves Of q
6ernadotte Takinu Crown.

Christiania, Aug. 16. - The returns
from the national referendum on the
dissolution of the union show that out
of 321.35S votes cast only l61 are
against the dissolution.
The storthing has been summoned
to meet on Aug. Il to take the next
step toward the repeal of the act OF
union in agreement with Sweden.
G. G. Berner, president of the stor-
thing, said yesterday:
with the peoples expression of ap-
proval of the action of the storthing,
our only step can be 10 communicate
the result Of the p!ebiscite to the
Swedish cabinet reiterating the views
previously expressed
Must Show Friendly Spirit.
"If Sweden desires a peaceful set.
tlement and a lasting understanding,
she will not insist on asking Norway
to frame a request for Sweden's recog-
milton of the dissolution and cancella-
tion Of the act Of union in an objec-
tionable manner. The riksdags con-
ditions are vague and might be under
stood as an ultimatum. but we ara
willing to negotiate.
Norway at present desires to con-
tinue under a monarchy. This fact
and spirit of Cancellation caused our
offer of the throne to a prince OF the
house of Bernadotte. This offer has
brought forth no answer.
Cannot Wait Forever.
Norway, however, cannot wait for
ever, and in a reasonable time will
consider the failure to answer as re-
fusal and will invite another prince to
occupy the throne.
The storthing would not take the
responsibility of deciding in favor of
republic, but would refer that ques-
ton to the people,
Recently it was reported that
Prince Charles of Denmark had re-
ceived tentative offer of the Norwe-
gan crown. 1t seems probable that
the offer will be made positive one
unless King Oscar speedily signifies a
( willingness to approve acceptance OF
the throne by a prince of the house of
| Bernadotte.
Will of the People.
Chicago, Aug. 16.-Nicholay Grew
stad. editor of the Skand1naven, ex-
pressing the opinion Of Chicago Nor
wegians regarding the result of the
referendum, said yesterday:
There has been no doubt as to the
will of the Norwegian people. The
action of June Z. when it was incum-
| bent on the Norwegian storthing to
provide a provisional government
was in complete harmony with their
| wishes.
"The next step will be the begin
ming of negotiations as to the other
points contained in the resolutions
adopted by the riksdag. One OF these
is the establishment of neutral zone
between the two countries. Sweden
also wants guarantees as to CONNER
cial treaties. In my opinion, the ulti-
mate result of the action thus far
taken will be an amicable adjustment,
and l believe prince of the house OF
Bernadotte will be elected king of
| Norway / do not believe. however
that Norway will ask recognition un-
til it completes the settlement of the
little matters between it and Sweden.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. Is. - It

peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to

fail, and there may be more or less

while the troops are getting In posi-

that II either Oyama or Linevitch
should deliberately bring on general
engagement which might cost $4,000
or 100000 lives his country would be
accused of bad faith In the negotia-
tions here and would inevitably lose
