Thorough House Cleaning.
AS the result of the request made by
the health authorities for every per
son living in New Orleans TO screen
cisterns and sanitate their premises,
it is calculated that a tremendous
amount of work was done in this direc-
ton during the day. The people hav-
ing the general health of the city at
heart. took advantage OF the seccation
of business. owing to Sunday, and
cleaned up their places as was never
done before. An army of men, women
and children worked relentlessly from
morning till night, and in day or
two New Orleans will be perfectly
sanitated, and, it is believed. rid of
the fever.
There We're no discouraging disclos-

Made Text of Sermons.
The text OF sermons delivered in the
various churches here yesterday morn

stroying the mosquito to prevent the
spread of the fever. 1t was the first
time in the history of the city that
mosquitoes formed the subject of the
sermons, but the ministers of different
denominations laid particular stress
on the pests. Dr. Warner, at whose
suggestions the sermons were deliv-
cred, made an eloquent appeal in one
of the most fashionable churches here
for the determination of the deadly
pests.

SCANDINAVIAN COMPROMISE.

The negotiations between the COM
mIssioners Of Sweden and Norway at
karlstad, are progressing rather slow
~, and no news Of the debates are per-
mItted to escape 10 the public. But
In all well informed circles both In
Stockholm and Chrlstianla. the i'm
preston prevails, that an understand
Ing viii be arrived at, finally. This Is
also the view that has been expressed
by leading Scandlnavians in this coun.
try, from the first moment OF the
crisis
Swedish statesmen when the reyo-
lntionary resolution was announced
took the view that a compulsory union
was undesirable, but that the existing
status could not DO lawfully changed,
except with the consent Of the other
party OF the union. This view found
expression In the action OF the extra
ordinary Riksdag, which ignored the
Storthing resolution aud demanded a
plebIscite In Norway on the question OF
separation. This first condition was
accepted by the Storthlng, and the
matter was thus referred to the nation
directly This done, the conditions on
which the Swedish people were willing
to consent 70 dissolution Of the union,
could be calmly discussed.
These conditions are admitted TO be
very reasonable. Sweden needs ice
free harbors for her export trade, Her
coast on the Baltic Is lce-b bound IN the
winter AT present railroads run from
Sweden 10 at least four harbors on the
Norwegian coast. Sweden naturally
must insist that II shall have the right
to use these ports, and Norway can
have no ground for objection to hand.

The demand for the demolition OF the

has caused some heated discussion.
In Sweden these forts are regarded az

they would be a real danger. For that
