Hauge on the Situation.

elected to the throne and will accept
The election will be held Nov. IL, but
as many places are remote, without wire
connection, the votes will not be count

: 'tIt probably would be about the Isl
Of December before the prince would
ascend the throne, and perhaps severa
days would elapse before the reorganl
cation could be completed. The cabi
net you know, is the one that severed
the ties between our country and Swe
den, and while all the members woult
likely resign formally, they probabl,
would be reappointed. One or two,
understand, are determined to leav
public life, but I am not at liberty tt
mention which ones.
Want Karl for King.
p ). ''Our people, according to my ad
vices from home, are very anxious tina
the young Danish prince shall becom
their sovereign. Always friendly t.
both England and Denmark, the close
relationship with those two countrie
s that would result would be very graft
flying.
>"rsNow that it is practically over an
settled, Norway has no bitter feeling
towards Sweden, and is anxious fC
close and friendly relations. Yes, it
possible that the king could hav

ing had he paid visits to our countr
at intervals and manifested more il
terest in his subjects. -
