SWEDER'S RUPTURE CONTINUES
NORWEGLANs STILL OUT OF THE
KINGDOM.
King Oscar ExpOstuIates With Them,
and the Storthing Passes More
Resolutions.

Christiania, Norway, June 20
The address to King Oscar and the
Riksdag adopted by the Storthing
yesterday the Swedish people gen
orally, IN reply to the long letter
which the king sent June 3 to the
president Of the StOrthing, Il Burn
er, IS OF a cOnciliatOry character At
the same time, however, it indicates
the unaIterabIe determination Of the
StOrthing to adhere to the action
taken in dissOlving the union with
Sweden The text is as follows:
Your majesty, Norway's SLorthing
respectfully begs to address your
majesty, and through your majesty,
Sweden's Riksdag and Sweden's peo-
pie as follows:
What has been happening in Nor
way recently, is the inevitable result
of a combination Of late political ev-
ents and cannot be altered and it is
certain that neither of the two peO-
pies is DESTROYS Of returning TO the
former condition Of the union. The
StOrthing is Of the opinion that II
ought not to reconsider the various
questions Of the constitution and pub
lie law that have been brought up in
your majesty's note to the StOrthin5 3
b president in connection with the re-
solutions adopted and on which the
StOrthing and the government have
already expressed themselves in de-
tail. The StOrthfng recognizes fully
your majesty's difficult position and
never for a moment has doubted that
your majesty's decisions are in ac-
cOrdance with what your majesty has
rearded 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 peace
full carrying through of the dissoiu-
ton Of the union and the safeguard
ing Of the friendship and accord OF
the two peoples Of the peninsula
1t Was Inevitable.
''The Storthfng has seen from ex-
preston Of opinion in Sweden that the
reason that the StOrthing felt il to be
its duty to the fatherland to adopt in
declaring the union Of the two king
dOms dissolved, has IN form and &C
ton been considered Notifying to
Sweden That has never been its
intentions. What has happened and
had 20 hapE On in Norway vas merely
the inevitable maintenance OF MI
Ways constitutional rights The Nor
Wegian people never l. tended - as
sail SweGelis honor AS yO-Ir ma
JeSJy IN council May % declared you
were unable to sanction the StOrth
ing's unanimous resolution for the es-
adjustment Of a separate Norwegian
consular service and as no Norwegian
government could be obtained byyOur
majesty the constitutional state Of
p Norway was so far disjointed that the
union could no longer be maintained
Upon NOrway's StOrthing was there
fore imposed the necessity OF prOcur-
ing without delay, a government for
the country. Every other course was
closed, all the more so as your ma
jesty's Swedish government had April
%, already explicitly declined to en-
ter into new negotiations with the
dissolution Of the union as an alter
native in the event that it was found
impossible to arrive at an agreement
in regard to a new form of union.
