NORWAY.
Christiania.


under date of June -: Sweden will
not be represented at King Haakons
coronation in Trondhjem, June %.
The Swedish government does not,
however, desire this to be an ex-
preston. of i'll feeling, but rather as
courtesy to King Oscars feelings"
so far the DEBORAH Posten and the dis
patches. 1t is evident that King Os-
car even though he does not enter
tain any ennity towards the Nor
Wegian government could not as their
former king adopt any other course
and it is extremely doubtful if the
Norwegians would expect him to
show any different attitude. AS far
as the diplomatic relations of the coun-
try are concerned they can best be ex-
pressed in the way in which a GER
tain Norwegian paper speaks of the
Swedish minister to Norway. 1t says:
Herr Gunther the Swedish minister
to Norway, has been provided with a
comfortable home in Christiania> at the
expense of his government which has
bought an estate for 100000 crowns in
a desirable part of the city. The
building will be enlarged and re-
modelled according to plans by
Swedish architect. Minister Gunther
in recent interview in a Swedish pa
per says that he has been shown the
utmost consideration in Norway and
declares that he has not seen sign
of antipathy toward Sweden. More
over, he ventures the opinion that the
story of prosecutions against SWe les
are Unfounded, at least, no complaints
had ever heen made to him"
Prominent among Americans VINO
will be present at the coronation
festivities in Trondhiem are Mr..
Pierce the new minister to Norway,
and NIr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
who have already engaged quarters at
Trondhjem. j. Pierpont Morgan will
be at Trondhjem about this time with
his yacht 'Corsair" and also long list
of we'll known Americans, who have |
been attracted to Norway this sum- |
1ner. Of royal visitors the following
have announced their intention of be-
ing present: The prince and princess
of Wales, Crownprince Christian Of
Denmark, Grand Duke Michael Alex |
androvitz Of Russia, and Prince Henry
of Germany. Premier Nicholson,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Lovland
and Mr. Arctander, chief of the depart |
ment of commerce. will represent the
Norwegian administration at the
coronation. The following nations
will have their navies represented on
this occasion: Great Britain, Ger |
many, Holland, Belgium and Den !
mark.
The royal progress through the coun |
try preliminary to the coronation on |
the % inst, of King Haakon and !
Queen Maud was begun June Is, when |
the royal pair and CrOWnprince i
Olaf departed from the capital for
Trondhjem. At the railroad station !
were the presidents of both houses Of !
parliament, the cabinet ministers and !
the other principal civil and military
authorities, while a large crowd Of |
Norwegians gave their sOyereigns a !
hearty welcome. The royal party win !
go by rail to the end Of Romsdal fjord, /
where they will embark on the gun
boat Heimdal. and escorted by three |
other warshiDs, proceed to Trondhjenl I
by way Of Mode and Christiansund |
arriving at their destination June 49,
Says the Aftenposten: 'There are
grounds for believing that Henrik h.
sen has not left any manuscript for
print just prior to his death. 1t will
be remembered that number of years
ago he spoke of writing his memoirs,
but it appears that during his de-
clining days he gradually abandoned |
this idea. AT all events it is believed !
that "When We Dead Awake is the
last effort from the pen of Henrik !
Ibsen.
The coronation committee is now
hard at work making out the program
in every detail. 1t has been an
nounced that the old cathedral will
have a seating CAPACITY Of $500 per-
sons. The representatives of the ruiz
ers will naturally get the best places,
but all seats are so arranged that |
every person admitted will be able
to get a fair view of the coronation
act.
The number of newspaper cor
respondents at the coronation will be
unusually large. Every newspaper
man who wants to attend has been re-
quested to send in an application in
advance and both England, Germany
and America will be we'll represented.
A number of Paris journalists and one
Russian press representative will also
be present
The Christiania palace will be re-
paired in the near future at an ex-
x,onca of co50 600 crowns The ranara
ton will commence at once and will
continue during the summer months,
the palace to be ready for occupancy
