( Wreck Near Steele.

The cause for the delay Of west
bound trains today is a blockage of
the track by a wreck between Daw-
son and Steele. A special freight,
west bound, was run into by a fol-
lowing special freight at 4 a. m. and
a caboose and engine greatly damaged.
Several cars were scattered, around
promiscuously, but no one was hurt.
A blizzard was blowing, which almost
stalled the first train in a cut, and
prevented the rear engineer from see
ing the lights. No one was hurt. The
passenger trains are expected along
about o'clock this afternoon.

Whether Amicable Agreement
With Sweden Can be
Reached
IN REGARD TO SEPARATION
Concentrating Troops on Frontier
Shows Increasing Seriousness
of the Situation.

Karlstad. Sweden, Sept. Sit is evi
dent that negotiations in the Swedish.
Norwegian conference have reached a
point which necessitate consultation by
the commissioners with their respect
i've governments.
No special session of the riksdag
will be convened, and this fact indi-
Gates that the conditions submitted by
the Swedish commissioners are unal-
terable, and that any amicable settle
ment will depend upon the action of
the Norwegian storthing.
No Arbitration Treaty.
1t is probable that the Norwegians
insisted on the formulation of an arbi-
tration treaty as a basis of further ne
gotiations. The Swedish government,
it is believed, will never agree to this
as it would mean arbitration of ques-
tions arising from present conditions
and recognition of the sovereignty of
Norway.
The Norwegian government has
within the last few days concentrated
a considerable number of troops on the
frontier and has moved other troops
near the frontier.
