KING DECLINES TO QUIT.
Sends Notice to Norway That He Is still
Ruler OF the Union.
Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.

!speefdi Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
STOCKHOLM, June 13.-king Oscar has
sent letter to the Storthing, the Norwe-
gian legislative body, in reference to the
secession Of Norway from Sweden. he
declares that the oath he took when he
became Norway's King prevents him from
passing over in silence the action OF the
Norwegian Government in breaking the
bonds that united Norway to Sweden.
He contends that when he vetoed the bill
providing for separate Consus for Norway
he act ed with the prerogative conferred
on him by the Const tuition. Indeed, 1t
was duty demanded by consideration
for the union.
He points out that It is not compatible
with the fundamental principles OF the
Norwegian monarchy that the King should
become mere tool in the hands OF the State
Council. Moreover, he IL not only King OF
Norway but of the union. Consequently
he Is also King Of Sweden. and IL the Nor
wegian nation demands the right to force
him to give decision which, in his opin-
ion Is contrary to the interests of the union
and Sweden, the logical conclusion 10 that
the Kings decisions must be dependent
wholly upon the will Of the Norwegian
nation and Council.
The letter, which is long. concludes
-The State Council, after having attempted,
in violation Of the Consttu tion, to render
void a decision Of the King OF Norway
legally given, resigned its affairs In the
Stor hing, and the King Of Norway was put
in the position OF being without Councillors.
The stort hing approved his breach Of the
Constitution. and by revolutionary pro-
ceeding declared that the legitimate King CT
Norway had ceased to reign and that the
union OF the two Kingdoms was dissolved.
1t remains for Sweden and me- as King Of
the union, to decide whether the attack
made by Norway on the existing union shall
lead to a legal dissolut ion Of the union Let
the present generation and posterity Judge
