NORWAY STANDS FIRM.
Storthing Tells Oscar Union CoWld NOS
Longer Be Maintained.

Christiania, Norway, advices say that
the address to King Oscar, the riksdag
and the Swedish people generally, adopt
ed by the storthing in reply to the long
letter which the King sent June 10 TO
the president of the storthing, NJ. Ber-
ner, is of a conciliatory character. At
the same time, however, it indicates the
unalterable determination of the stor-
thing to adhere to the action taken III
dissolving the union with Sweden.
Address in part follows:
"Your Majesty-Norway' storthng
respectfully begs to address Your Ma
jesty and through Your Majesty Swe-
denis Riksdag and Sweden's people as
follows:
what has been happening recently IN
Norway is the inevitable result OF
combination of late political events and
cannot be altered.
1.-THE Storthing recognizes fully Your
Majesty's difficult position and never Tor
moment has doubted that Your MaJes-
tvs decisions are in accordance with
what Your Majesty has regarded as the
rights and duties of the crown. At the
same time the Storthing is DESTROYS OF
addressing an appeal to Your Majesty,
the Riksdag and the people of Sweden,
with the object of contributing to the
peaceful carrying through of the disso-
luton of the union and the safeguarding
of the friendship and concord of the two
peoples of the peninsula.
"The Norwegian people never intended
to assail Sweden's honor. AS Your Ma
jesty in council May 26 declared you
We're unable to sanction the Storthing $
unanimous resolution for the establish
ment of a separate Norwegian consular
service, and as no Norwegian govern
ment could be obtained by Your MaJes-
ty the constitutional state of Norway
was so far disjonted that the union
could no longer be maintained.
In the belief that the Swedish people
share these views, the Storthing sug-
gests to Swedens constitutional authori-
ties that they enter upon the negotla-
tons requisite for a final settlement on
the dissolution of the union with the
recognition of Norway's new status and
| her rights as a sovereign state. The
Storthing is itself prepared to meet every
! fair and reasonable wish that may be put
| forward to safeguard the Kingdoms in
| dependence and integrity"
Conservative Swedish papers openly
| advocate war against Norway and the
situation is growing more intense. They
urge mobilization of the troops and de-
zand the cession of Northern Norway as
| compensation to the Swedish people for
| the dissolution of the union.
