T0 AVOID A STILL VlflfiSE EViL. MONARCH wn.LlNe T0 AGREE TO A PEACEFUL DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION. Btockholm, Sweden, June 2.—The extraordinary session of the riksdag, summoned by King Oscar to deal with the momentous question .raised by Norway's declaration dissolving the union, met for business during the day. The government immediately in- troduced a biH asking for authoriza- tion to enter into negotiations with the Norwegian storthing and draw up a conditional settlement of the questions involved in the separation of the here- tofore-dual kingdom. ‘The session was opened by King Os- car in person With the usual ceremony. The king made a speech from the throne in which ‘he protested against the charge that by violation of the constitution he had provoked the steps taken by Norway. In the council of state, which sanc- tioned the introduction of the bill in the riksdag dealing with the dissolu- tion crisis, both the king and the pre- mier were on the side of a pacific so- lution. 3 Premier Ramstedt spoke first, point- ing out that-it was not to.Sweden’s: interest to resort to coercive meas- ures. Ile recommended, therefore, en- tering into negotiations for a conven- tion by which' guarantees should be obtained conducive to the mutuval wel- fare of the two countries. In any case he declared negotiations were indis- pensable to definitely clear up the sit- uation. - The premier suggested that delegates be appointed to this end, a8 it was only after such a conditional settlement and after the riksdag had fully considered the matter that Swe- den would be in a position to decide as to her definite approval of the dis- solution and agree to annulling the act-of union. o e Speaks With Visibfe Emotion. After several members had ac- quiesced in the premier’s views King Oscar, with visible emotion, spoke as follows: “It 1 a painful step which the coun- ¢cil of state calls on me to take. My conscience tells me that I have curing my long reign always striven toward the object I had in mind at the time of my accession, namely, the welfare of the brother peoples. It is truly painful to me to contribute to the dis- solution of a union in which T thought I saw the independence, security and happiness of the united kingdoms. If, however, 1 am ready to act thus it is in order to avoid a still worse evil and in the conviction that the union with- out mutual accord would bring no real advantage to Sweden. “I have acted in accordance with my conscience and always in conformity with the constitution and with the de- sire to work conscientiously for the truo welfare of the two peoples. The bill presented to the riksdag does not aim at replying to injustice by acts of coercion. 'The union is not worth the sacrifice which acts of coercion would entail. A union into which Nor- way would be forced in such a manner would be of little value to Sweden,” The king concluded with expressing the hope that the Swedish people would be guided by calmness and pru- dence and that God would give them strength and unity to regain within their own frontiers what they had lost by the dissolution of the union.

Teamsters Do Not Relish Some of Em- ployers’ Terms. * Chicago, June 22.—Convinced - that the new strike committee of the Team- sters’ Joint Council cannot effect a sat- Isfactory settlement of the futile la- day for ‘the first time discussed the practicability of calling off the team- sters’ strike, ordering the men who have been out of work for many weeks to get back their places if they can and making no effort to bind organized Jabor to conditions with the employing Interests. “Before the unions will consent ta & condition of settlement that forces them to abandon the union button,” said International President C.

Hyde as president and first vice presi- dent, respectively, of the Equitable Life Assurance society, 1s expected, ac- cording to the World, to have far- reaching: eflect on the office staff of the execulive. It is also expected, the ~World adds, that Mr. Hyde will shortly retire from several offices in controlled financial positions and it is likely will resign- from the directorate of other corporations to which he was elected on account of his ownership of a ma- Jority of stock in the Equitable. The resignations of Messrs. Alexander and Hyde were for their posts as officers of the society and not as directors. Both are expected to resign as direc. tors in a few days.

NOULD HAMPER PLENIPOTERTIARIES SERIOUS CLASH OF ARMIES BE- FORE CONVENING OF THE PEACE CONFERENCE. Washington, June 22Tt is inti- mated in official circles here that ne- potiations are proceeding looking to i armistice between Japan and Rus: Ja. The stumbling block # the way-of wny armistice appears to be that nefther belligerent is willing to take the initiative. The present negotia- tlons, it is understood, consist of an effort to sound one or both govern- ments as to their willingness to agree P an armistice. There will be no official announce- ment here regarding the probabilities of an armistice before the president re- turns nor is it certain that there will be anything to make public. The feel- Ing in official circles here is strongly in favor of a cessation of hostilities, as it is believed (hat a clash before the convening of the peace conference would hamper the work of the pieni- potentiaries and might prove a serious menace to their efforts for peace.
