Norwegian Storthing Answers
Oscar's Protest.
UNION COUliD NOT CONTINUE
Address to Swedish King and Peo
pleiSeeks to Allay IllrFeeling
and Pleads for Neighborly
Friendship.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway. June 20.
The address to King: Oscar, the Riks
dag and the Swedish people generally,
adopted by the Storthing: yesterday in
reply to the long: letter which the King:
Fgnt June IS to tne president of the
tory character. At the same time,
however, it Indicates the unalterable
determination of the Storthing: to ad
here to the action taken in dissolving:
the union with Sweden. The text is
as follows:
Your Majerty, Norway's Storthing respect
fully begs to address your majesty, and
through your majeety SwHenV Rlritdag and
Sweden's people, as follows:
What has been happening recently Jn Nor
way Is tfco Inevitable result of a combination
of late political events and "cannot be altered
and it Is certain that neither of the two peo
ples Is desirous of returning to the former
condition of union. The Storthing is of
the opinion that it ought not to reconsider
the various questions of the constitution and
public law that have been brought up in
your majeety'a note to the Storthing' pres
ident In connection 'with the resolutions
adopted and on which the Storthing and the
government have already expressed themselves
in detail. The Storthing recognizes fully your
majesty's difficult poeitlon and never for a
moment has doubted that your majesty" de
cisions are in accordance with what your
majesty has regarded as the rights and duties
of the crown. At the came time the Storth
ing is desirous of addressing' an appeal to
your majesty, the Riksdag and the people of
Sweden, with the object of contributing to
the peaceful carrying through of the disso
lution of the union and the safeguarding of
the friendship and accord of the two peoples
of the peninsula.
Union Was Impossible.
The Storthing has een from expresrtons of
opinion in Sweden that the resolution that
the Storthing felt it to be its duty to the
Katherland to adopt, in declaring the. union
of the two kingdoms dissolved, has in form
and action been considered mortifying to
fwedeir. That has never been Its intention.
What ha happened and had to happen in
Norway was merely the inevitable mainte
nance of Norway's constitutional rights. The
Norwegian people never intended to assail
Sweden's honor. As your majesty in council
May 2G declared you were unable to sanc
tion the Storthing's unanimous resolution for
the establishment of a separate Norwegian
consular service, and as no Norwegian gov
ernment could be obtained by your majesty,
the constitutional State of Norway Is ro far
disjointed that union could no longer be main
tained. Upon Norway' Storthing was. there
fore, lmpesd the necessity of procuring wlth-
ut delay a government for the country. Every
th"er course was closed, all the more so as
f'Ur majesty's Swedish government had April
25. already explicitly declined to enter into
sew negotiations, with the dissolution of the
union aa an alternative in the event that it
v as found impossible to arrive at an agree
ment In regard to a new form of union.
Anunoblty to Sweden Dead.
The Storthing, as already stated, and the
Norwegian people do not feel any bitterness
or antnvorsity again! your majesty or the
Swedish people. The statements to the con
trary which possibly were uttered on ca
tion? have wholly and solely been grounded
cit dUaattfifartlon at Norway's position In
!. union, and as that source of bitterness
and animoclty would disappear with the dis
solution of the union. Its effect, also would
vanish. Ninety years ef co-operation in ma
terial and Intellectual labors have awakened
,n the Norwegian people feelings of 4ncere
friendrtjlp and sympathy for the Swedish peo
ple These feelings will, when Norway no
linger oecupteo a position offensive to her na
il mal independence, once more grow apace
and Insure the entrance on a mutual uder
rtanding between the pooplee. In the belief
that the Swedish people hare there views, the
FtnrthlRg suggests to Sweden's constitutional
authority that they enter upon the negotia
tion requisite for a final settlement ef the
uifbotutlen of the union with the recognition
of Norway's new ttatus and her rights as &
tovereign state.
.Mny .Remain Good Friends.
The Storthing lteU ts prepared to meet
every fair and reasonable wfotfc that may be
rut forward to safeguard the kingdom's in
dependence and integrity. CenMMutkHutll)
the two people will be henceforward sepa
rate, but at the ame time the Storthing Is
fully onvtnee4 that this will lead to the de
velopment of a good and trustful relatinshtp
!" the defense of their nmtu! interests.
If the further settlement can be attained
without ltltterness and prejudice, the Storth
ing Is convinced that what has hapenod will
prove for the lasting welfare of the Northern
peoples. For the sake of the North, the Storth
ing addreKFes this appeal to the people which
bv its magnanimity and chivalry has attained
f-r itself such an eminent place among na
tions and with which the Norwegian people
li's're moM sincerely to maintain good rela
tions. SWEDISH IlIKSDAG OPENS.

Norway Is Accomplished.
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. Juno 20. The

iwnlorlty. He announced that Counts

Thre was no undue excitement.
The proceedings in the lower Iwup"

after which Tremior Ramstcdt an

MM Swarthlns and Tehrson to be re
spectively president and vice-president of
the House. President Swarthlng made a
speech, during which he said that the
hope of Sweden in regard to the union
had vanished, and Norway's negation of
the unioit had been accomplished In ueh
a manner that it would be very difficult
to make any attempts to reopen the nego

towards the nation and the future. He
hoped, however, that a result of the

no warning voice may reach our ears.
The play called "Leah Kleschna

found and rescued and In the telling of
It Mrs. Fiske. the actress, sounds a
warning nnJ holds out a hope. Let us
not delude ourselves into thinking we
are of different clay than "Leah
Kleschna.'"
Last night at the Empire she
made us understand more than ever
that play-acting Is an art rather tnan
a mere occupation: that the drama has
educational and moral functions and is
not entirely fallen from its one-time
high estate.
Her consummate genius rises above all
that Is taudry and make believe. She
appeals to us through no paltry senti
mentality, but through our Intellectual,
deliberate conception of what is eternally
true and right. She puts herself in the
place of her unhappy sisters and while
she charms with her graces, she In

unsure feet brought her. at last out Into
the open- To her womanhood.
I can only say in praise of Mrs. FIske
that her art Is finer than ever before.
That she is still growing although her
place in the profession of acting Is cer
tainly and definitely fixed at the very
top.
As always, she is wise enough and gen
erous enough to surround herself with a
support that is well-nigh perfect. The
men seen with her this year In the four
"big" male roles could not be Improved
upon. John Mason. George ArUss.
Charles Cartwrlght and William B. Mack
compose a quartet that meet every ex
pectation and every desire. They are
altogether and completely worthy to bo
chief support for our greatest actress.
Mr. Arliss was here In January 'with
Miss Bates and seemed quite an old
friend in his role of the detestable
"Raoul." He is a character actor with
few equals. John Mason is superb as
"Sylvalne." who rescues" "Leah." who
has entered his bouse to rob him. Charles
Cartwrlght deserves the highest laudation
for his performance In the part of
"Leah's" father, and Mr. Mack, seen
as "Schram," the ignorant, cringing, but
not altogether hopeless criminal, gives a
masterly performance.
The female characters after Leah are
not important, but so far as need be are
well sustained.
The play Is one- of the very best that
