The principal Norwegian papers are
demanding the recall OF lie secre-
tary of the American legation, Frank
lin b. Gunther, because of his alleged
assault on the harbor master of
Christiania, who is the highest police
official in the kingdom. The harbor
master has reported the circuIn-
stances to the minister of foreign az
fairs and demands an apology from
Mr.. Gunther and the punishment OF
Mr. Mccullough, the owner of the
American steam yacht Pauline. The
incident arose through the defiance OF
the harbor masters order to change
the anchorage of the Pauline, which
occupied the space reserved for the
German emperor's yacht Meteor. The
Christiania papers say that when the
official made his request in polite
; terms Mr.. Gunther called him fool
and threatened to knock him down
1t is alse charged that Mr. Gunthel
struck at the harbor master ant
knocked his cap of. A later dispatch
from Christiania says: Franklin B

legation, has given out the following
