Christina. Norway, June king
Oscars refusal to sanction the bill
passed by the Storthing providing for
separate consular service for Nor
way eliminated today in the passage
of a resolution by the Storthing de-
claring the dissolution of the union
of Sweden and Norway and that the
king had ceased to act as king of
Norway. Although this action was
anticipated. it caused considerable
excitement in this city on account of
of anxiety as to what action the King
on May 26. when the council of state
submitted to him the bill for separate
consuls. He refused on May 2Sth 20
sign the bill The Norwegian council
of state Immediately resigned and
the King refused to accept their res
ignations, as in view of the state of
public opinion he deemed it impossi-
BILE to form a new government. The
consular bill, while apparently of lit
tie Importance. was designed to open
the whole question of foreign affairs,
which Norway desires to manage in
dependently of Sweden.
Christina, Norway. June THE
Storthing (congress) today declared
the union between Norway and Swe-
den under a king dissolved and that
there had ceased to be a king of Nor
way. The Storthing further empower
ed the present state council to act
as governor of Norway until further
notice and to exercise the power here
tofore appertaining to the king. An
address to the king was adopted, de-
claring that no ill feeling was enter
tained against him, his dynasty OF
the Swedish nation, and asking him
to cooperate in the selection of the
young prince of the house OF Berna-
way
The dissolution of the union be
pending for some time, and had its
growth in the desire, which grew
stronger as time passed, for the es-
tablishment of separate consular ser
vice for the two countries. King Os-
car at Stockholm recently vetoed the
measures presented to him by the
council of state providing for separate
consular representation, and the Nor
wegians maintain that by doing so,
and partly by his absence from Nor
way, he had suspended his rights
and duties as king of Norway.
One of the causes for the desire
in Sweden and Norway for separate
consular systems was the fact that
Sweden is for protection and Norway
is for free trade. and also because
of Norway's more extensive sea trade
and other Emergencies of commercial
interests.
