Again a change in the ministry has
taken place: The Hagerup cabinet,
formed in October, 1903, is a thing of
request Of the crown prince regent
formed another: Change of ministry
occurs so often in this country that the
public does not take much notice. The
union with Sweden is the cause of these
frequent changes, as it is always some
issue related to Sweden that brings
them about. If Norway ever gets all
her union troubles with Sweden settled
the duration of each administration
will undoubtedly be considerably in
creased.
The present administration, composed
as it is, of men from all the political
this is, however, not expected, and it
has been formed with a single aim of
forcing one issue-that of a separate
consular. service.
The special committee, consisting Of
nineteen members of the storthing,
whose mission it was to give a decision
regarding what should be done with the
separate consular question:, came to the
conclusion that the present session Of
the storthing should pass a law by
which a separate Norwegian consular
take effect not later than April /, 1906.
When such a law has been passed and a
date set when the separate consular
service is to begin operation, the Nor
wegian government is to give proper
notice to the government Of Sweden.
That the Bill will pass is beyond
doubt, and Norway will thus have a
separate consular service, whether the
regent sanctions the law or not:
1t was Immediately after this de-
eision was taken that the crown prince
form the new cabinet, which is COM
posed as follows: 49, III
