The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

The union between Norway and Sweden having been dissolved, notice of which was given by Sweden, the Norwegian Government desires to enter into official relations with the United States as soon as possible and would be glad if the North American Government were pleased to recognize Mr. Ch. Hauge in the capacity of chargé d’affaires ad interim pending the appointment of a minister plenipotentiary.

Lövland.
