' i-:- ’3 * McLAUGi-ILIN '& PEEL. FENELON FALLS, curry/taro, FRIDAY, JUNE 231m, 1905. Council of State Asks Authority to Approach Storthing. ESTABLISHED INcour’rED President of Riksdag Desires Record of Honest Desires of SWeden, While Council of State Would Negotiate With,Norway to Establish Basis of Disssolution Mutually Agreeableâ€" Storthing to King and Sweden. Stockholm, Sweden, June 21.â€"â€"The sessions of both chambers of the Bike- dag were opened yesterday. There was no undue excitement in either chambers or in the precincts, but the large crowds gathered in front of the Parliament buildings, showed the keen public interest taken in the outcome of thefisession. During the proceedings in the lower House, President Swarthing made a speech, in which he said that the hope of Sweden in regard to the union had vanished, and Norway's negation of the union had been accomplished in such a manner that it would be very difficult to make any attempts to re- open the negotiations. He hoped that as a result of the proceedings the pres- ent Riksdag would record the honest desires of Sweden. The Council of State adopted a pro- position which will be presented ,to the Riksdag at its opening this morn- ing. According to the best information, the main points are that Sweden re- fuses to recognize the one-sided disso- lution of the union by the Storthing, but the Government asks the Riksdag for authority to enter into negotiations with Norway in order to establish the basis for a dissolution on which both countries can mutually agree, and the amicable relations of the two countries be maintained. g IN :1-836; 5 i ; BY noan CHARTER IN 1840. _.

Colborne Street, Fenelon Christiania, Norway, June 21.â€"â€"The address to King Oscart the Riksdag and the Swedish people generally adopted by the Storthing Monday in reply to the long letter which the King sent, June 13, to the President of the Storthing, M. Berner, is of a concilia- tory character. But at the same time it indicates the unalterable determina- tion of the Storthing to adhere to the action taken in dissolving the union with Sweden. The text is as folloxvs: “Your Majesty: Norway's Storthing respectfully begs to address Your Ma- Jesty, and through Your Majesty Swed~ en's Riksdag and Sweden's people, "as follows: "What has been happening recently in Norway is the inevitable result of a combination of late political events and cannot be altered, and as it is certain that neither of the‘ two peoples is de- sirous of returning to the former con- dition of union, the Storthing is of the opinion that it ought not to reconsider the various questions of the constitu- tion and public law that have been brought up in Your Majesty’s note to the Storthing’s President in connection with the resolutions adopted, and on which the Storthing and the Govern- ment have already expressed them- selves in detail. The Storthing recog- nizes fully Your Majesty’s difficult pos- ition and never for a moment has doubted that Your Majesty's decisions are in accordance with what Your Ma- jesty has regarded as the rights and duties of the Crown. Sweden’s Honor Not Assailed. “At the same time the Storthing is desirous of addressing an appeal to Your Majesty, the Riltsdag and the people of Sweden with the object of contributing to the peaceful carrying through of the dissolution of the union and the safeguarding of the friendship and concord of the two peoples of the peninsula. The Storthing has seen from expressions of opinion in Sweden that the resolution which the Storth- m sirens. sssssss we have several new styles in 7 . u u Footwear which Will commend themselves at a glance.

That has W __ _ V never been its intention. What has DENTAL. . happened, and had to happen in Nor- way was merely the inevitable main- tenance of Norway’s constitutional rights. The Norwegian people never intended to assail Sweden’s honor. As Your Majesty, in council, May 26, de- clared you were unable to sanction the Storthing's unanimous resolution for the establishment of a separate Nor- wegian Consular service, and as no Norwegian Government could be ob- tained by Your Majesty, the constitu- tional‘state of Norway was so far dis- jointed that the union could no longer be maintained. Upon Norway’s Stor- thing was therefore imposed the ne- cessity of procuring, without delay, a Government for the country.

The statements 'to the contrary which possibly were uttered on occasions have wholly and solely been grounded on dissatisfaction at Norway's position in the union, and as that source of bit- terness and animosity would disappear with the dissolution of the union, its effects also would vanish. Ninety years of co-operation in material and intel- lectual labors have awakened in the Norwegian people feelings of sincere friendship and sympathy for the Swed- ish people. These feelings will, with Norway no longer occupying. a. posi- tion offensive to her national indepen- dence, once more grow apace, and en- sure the entrance of a mutual under- standing between the peoples. \Nill Meet Every Reasonable Wish. “In the belief that the Swedish peo- ple share these views, the Storthng suggests to Sweden’s constitutional au- thorities that they enter upon the ne- gotiations requisite for a final Stiilé‘“ ment on the dissolution of the union with the recognition of Norway'. new status and her rights as a sovereign State. The Storthing is itself prepar- ed to meet every fair and reasonable wish that may be put forward to safe- guard the kingdom’s independence and integrity. Constitutionally * the two peoples will henceforward be separate, but at the same time the S‘torthing is fully convinced that this will lead to the development of a good and trust- ful relationship for the defence of their mutual interests. . “If the future settlement can be at- tained without prejudice and bitterness the Storthing is convinced that what has happened will prove for the last- ing welfare of the northern peoples. For the sake of the north, the Stor- thing addresses this appeal to the peo- ple which, by its magnanimity and chivalry, has attained for itself such an eminent place among nations, and with which the Norwegian people de- 'sire most sincerely to maintain good relations.” .____.â€"_â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"-â€"â€" BRITAIN OFFERED NO ADVICE.
