The matter of discussion was the

the Norwegian government to enter

story on the authority Of one Of the
most reliable men in our public lie.
Queer Story from Stockholm.
y During the discussion in the Swedish
special committee, Mr.. Lundeberg, the
present conservative premier, and Mr..
STAFF, his present liberal colleague, each
submitted a proposal Of his own for the
settlement Of the union crisis. The two
proposals were as divergent as posi-
BILE, and the great question was how to
weld them together. An attempt was
made by Mr.. Cavalli, a representative
Of some reputation among the Swedish
liberals, but his exertions proved futile.
Then Bishop Billing, a famous Swedish
clergyman, appeared upon the 81 scene enc
mitted them to careful perusal, cross
ing with red pencil the salient points
in Mr.. Lundeberg's proposal and with a
blae pencil the salient points in Mr.:
Staff s proposal. He then put the red
and blue passages together, gave the
whole thing a finishing touch, after
which it was discussed and passed by
the decision of the riksdag, which
unanimously approved of it.
This remarkable story goes far to ex-
plain the ambiguity of the Swedish
proposals.
Position Of the Negotiators.
By the nomination of her delegates,
Norway has taken the final step on the
road Of Cancellation, and henceforth the
true difficulties will commence. AS a
remarkable feature of the impending
conference it may be stated, that while
the Swedish conditions are officially
laid down in the resolution Of the Swed-
ish riksdag Of July 81, it remains to
be seen what proposals the Norwegian
negotiators will make. AS the Swedish
conditions stand, they are, in the opln-
ion Of thousands in Norway, TO be con
sidered an ultimatum:; The r1ksdag, IN
passing the report Of the special COM
conditions must be "firmly adhered
to,'' and we shall soon learn how the
Swedish negotiators will be able. to
maintain this frmness. IT negotiation,
at the present instance, is to be under
stood in the usual sense OF the word,
the negotiations are bound to fail IN
the same way as all negotiations in the
late union used to fail, owing to the
nature of, the conditions laid down be-
forehand. This is obviously the. weak
point of Sweden 8 case, while, it is still
impossible to say anything OF the case
of Norway. The Swedish negotiators
are hampered by the definite conditions
Of the riksdag; the Norwegian negot1a'
tors are independent in their action by
the decision Of the storthlng.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. s.-Charges made
by Miss Mae Wood in regard to Sen
ator Thomas G.. Platt in her suit
against him and the United States Ex-
press company for $4,000, have caused
much, speculation here as to whether

any official action in regard to Senator
Platt would follow. ...,
The fate of Assistant Statistician
Holmes, who has been indicted fol
lowing the alleged leak in the depart
ment Of agriculture by which, as
charged, certain brokers were enabled
to take advantage Of advance infor-
nation, is fresh in the public mind.
Miss Wood s assertion that she was
engaged by Senator Platt to watch all
reports, Recommendations and other
steps taken in the postoffice depart
ment concerning the United States Elk

is president, is thought by many to be
Of most serious nature.

She also charges that she promptly
reported to Senator P1att when in May,
1908, Postmaster General Payne had
stated that he intended to recommend
to congress the establishment Of a
post-check system. Her allegation that
on the receipt of this information SEN
ator Plat hurried to the department
and caused the recommendation to be
greatly modified before reported is
regarded as little less than startling.

assertion that by reason Of her services

Intent. 49,
Nicholson Of Norway Remains in

Arbitration.
Special Cable to The journal.

Special Cable to The Journal
Karlstad, Sweden, Sept. S.-The sud-
den adjournment of the' Swedish-Nor-
wegian conference yesterday until
Sept. 13 is variously interpreted. The
reason for, the recess given out was
to consult their home governments.
The fact that no special session of the
riksdag has been called, to which the
Swedish delegates might report for new
instructions, is held in some quarters
to indicate that Sweden has refused to
alter her, proposals, and that the Nor
wegian delegates will seek authority
from the storthing to change their pro-
posals. Those who take this view be-
lieve that the storthing will not yield
and that an open rupture will follow,
with even a possibility Of hostilities
in the background.
T. Nicholson Still in Karlstad.
The facts opposed to this theory are
that Premier Nicholson of Norway will
not return to Christiania during the
recess, as he surely would if his gov
eminent were seeking new instructions
from the storthing; and that: the Nor,
wegian delegates here were not bound
down by definite instructions from the
storthing, but were accorded freedom
at the secret session Of the. storthing
which discussed the matter Of the nego-
tiations and theytknow thoroly the tenn
per of that deliberative body, They
know how far they can 90 with the ap-
prevail of their government, and it
seems unlikely that they would: need
further instructions at this time.
Sweden's Ultimatum.
On the other hand, Sweden's propo:
sails are well known and are couched
In ultimatum form. The Swedish dele
gates received no power to alter them
and feel bound to. their spirit and let
ter. What more natural, therefore, than
a recess to permit the Swedish delegates
to consult the council Of state at Stock
holm with reference to the Norwegian
proposals? The! Swedish iii delegates
were named by and are responsible tC
the council Of state and not the riks
dag. It is known that they have felt
obliged to reject. the Norwegian Offer
of an arbitration treaty, and it may be
that they now desire the opinion Of the
council Of state on that offer.
War Talk Without Basis.
At any rate, the talk Of war posi-
hilit1es and Of new notifications on thu
Norwegian frontier seems beside thu
mark Neither country wants war ant
the king is absolutely against it on any
terms. Even If there comes rupture
/ between the delegates and an ending 0:
5 the conference, as SO many previous eff
forts to settle the differences Of the two
countries have ended, war is by ne
means the only alternative. Each ceun
try may go it's own way, agreeing t.
disagree and the question of recognition
by other nations, without SwedeT's con
sent, will then be fought out in thu
