KING EDWARDS pARr-

London, Sept. 16.-During the day the belief that there would be an ami cable settlement of the Swedish Nor wegian dispute developed into confi- dence. There is reason to believe that King Edward has taken a direct per sOnal interest in the matter and it is known that messages bearing on the situation at Karlstad have been con tinually passing between the foreign office and the king for the last two days. In fact it is believed that King Edward suggested a mOdus vivideni. The exact nature of this course is not known, but it is understood that Dr. Nansen,s the Arctic explorer, has been mentioned as the first Norwegian min ister to London and the Swedish min ister here approved of the proposal that instead of the demolition of the fOTtresses they should be disarmed, Sweden and Norway agreeing not to increase armaments and entering into a permanent peace treaty. This is believed in London to form the basis of the agreement.
 It is understood in London that after a full agreement is signed Prince Charles of Denmark will be elected king of Norway.

RIOTS IN JAPAN

Washington. Sept. I6.-An onc,lI report concerning the anti-tr~zry riots in Tol-io was today received by th- Japanese legation On the bsslz u. this report MT. Hioka. charge 6 zf- faires of Japan. said today

 Of course there are many Japluesa who are disappointed at the terms of the peace treaty and Ij is natural that they should express their disau- pointment. but the majority Of the thinking class of my country deprecate the riotous action and regret rhe in- furious impression created by these disturbances. which apparently led some people to regard them as an in- dication Of a feeling of hostility on 5he part of Japan toward the United States. I am authorized t0 say that notwithstanding what differences uL opinion may exist in Japan over th- terms of peace. there is a strong. united and friendly feeling toward the United States and deep appreciation of the earnest. impartial and sincere good will which has attended the efforts 1t President Roosevelt.

PRINTERS ARE GAINING
Report Many Desertions From Rank
 of TypOthetae.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Desertions from the ranks of the Chicago Typothetae in it's fight against the bHshment of the eight hour day in book and job offices were reported today by the un- ion officials who declared that several members of the master printers or ganization have signed the union agreement providing for a shorter work day after January l, 1906. The report compiled by the strike leaders shows 112 printing houses have agreed to grant the union demands. Included in these last, it is declared there are firms that have heretofore employed non union printers exclusively. The signatures of twelve additional con cerns were secured to the union agree ment today and no more strikes were called. It is estimated by union off cials that the eight hour day has al ready been established for HOO union printers in book and job offices throughout the city. Firms employing 700 printers are still to be heard from.
 In the face of these claims by the union officials the members of the Chi cago Typothetae declare that the fight has just begun and that the smaller printers who have signed the union agreement will eventually be governed by the principles which prevail in the TypOthetae.

MODUS NVENDI
An Understanding Between
 Norway and Sweden
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
We'll Pounded Belief That Separate Governments Will be Established by Peaceful Means Without InyOlV- ing Other Nations.

Karlstad, Sept. 16.-Tne first official announcement indicating that the dele gates of Norway and Sweden were ap- preaching an understanding in their effort to establish a mOdus Vivideni, for the countries as separate govern ments, was given out tonight at the close of the joint session of the dele
 gates. This announcement reads:
 "The probabilities are that in the
 near future the negotiations can be brought to a definite result"
 Tnis somewhat cryptic announce ment is accepted as indicating that the negotiations have finally reached a stage where an agreement is in sight and that a resort to arrangements, which might have involved other pow CTS may safely be considered to be out of the question. At this hour the dele
 gates and other officials decline to throw further light on the subject of the negotiations which will be resum- ed tomorrow.
 It is taken for granted however, that
 a compromise has been reached on the subject of Qualifications which has been the cruX of the situation since the start and that the main questions will be arbitrated. It is believed here that considerable influence was brought to bear on both sides looking to cOnces- siOns by which the woUnding of the sensibilities of the people of either na- ton might be avoided and an entente between the Scandinavian people se- cured.
 Owing to the silence of the delegates
 and the carefulness with which well informed persons on both sides guard
 the secret of the conference. it would
 be unwise to speculate on the proceed ings which led to the decision to issue the official announcement tonight. While 1t is possible the exact terms of
 ihe agreement have been drawn up and approved by both sides, the indefinite
 ness of the official announcement cou-
 Dled with the resumption Of the ses-
 sions of the delegates tomorrow lead to the inference that only the broad terms on which Sweden will consent to d dis solution of the union were settled; but as both sides up to this morning ap-
 peared firm in there demands regard ing the fortresses there is good reason
 to suppose that mutual concessions were made.
 Prior to the assembling and confer ence of the few minutes before g o'clock tonight Premiers Lundenburg and MicheIsen. respectively of Sweden and Norway, were in conference alone The Iateness. of the hour of adjournment made it impossible to obtain the re- suits of the conference from the dele gates but a distinctly better feeling prevails, and it is believed that the next few days will see an amicabIe ending of the conference
 The report that the powers had made representations to Sweden was based on the fact that Great Britain France and Germany offered their services. if they became necessary.

FOUL WORK OF BENDS
Another Mysterious Murder in New
 York City.

New York, Sept. 16.-The finding to- day of the body of a handsome young woman about twenty-five years of age. lying bruised and battered in a clump Of briar bushes near the Pelham road in the Bronx, revealed one of the worst crimes with which the police have had to deal in many years. An autopsy to- night showed that the woman had been criminaIy assaulted and choked to death. There was every indication that she had fought her assailants des- perately. Her garments were torn all most to snreds. Tonight the body rests in the Fordham morgue while half a hundred detectives are endea- voring to establish the victims iden- tity and to find some clew to the mur- derers.
 The autopsy of physicians were of the opinion that the woman had been dead about twelve hours. Evidence points to the fact that at least two men were implicated in the crime. That the woman was robbed is not doubted. for nothing of value was left on her person. while her fingers show that rings which she must have worn were torn from them. 5s.,s.F FY
 The girl was five feet two inches in height, of fair complexion with brown hair and blue eyes. An empty dress suit case was found near the scene of the crime but neither on this nor on any article of clothing was there the slightest means of identification.

A BRIDGE GOES DOWN
Eight Persons Thrown iE the Swirl ing Water and One Browns Streets of Topeka Submerged-kefOrn
 School IsOIated-RiVer Still Rising.

Topeka, Sept. 16.-The flood sftua- tion here tonight is more serious. The levees. protecting the farming lands along Soldier creek have broken, and thousands of acres of corn fields are under water. A wagon bridge across Soldier creek went out late this after noon. carrying eight boys and a horse and buggy down with it. Seven of the boys have been rescued, but one is still reported missing. The horse was drowned. The Raw river is rising rapidly at this point, and a repetition of the disastrous flood of 1903 is fear ed. Railroad communication between Topeka and Kansas City on the north side of the river has been completely cut off. Communication with St JO- seph over the Rock Island is still cut off. The Union Pacific has two bridges out west of Topeka and is using the tracks of the Rock Island. Both the Union Pacific and Rock Island are us ing the Santa F'e tracks between To peka and Kansas City. It is expected that communication west over the Rock Island will be cut off some time tonight.
 The country from the state reform school to Rossville a distance of over fifteen miles, is entirely submerged. The water has also cut off cOmmuni- cation between Topeka and the reform school and the institution was com pletely isolated this afternoon. The water at the reform school at six o'clock this afternoon touched the high water mark reached during the flood of 1903.
 Telegrams just received here report that the Raw is rising rapidly at all points above Topeka.

The festival was formally opened with a telegram of encouragement from President ROose- welt, which was received with Univer- sal enthusiasm.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 1G.-A new impetus was given to the political contest here between Mayor Weaver and the reform element of which the city party is an integral part on the one side, and the regular republican organization, led by former State In surance Commissioner Durham, on the other side, by the days developments in the situation. In order to regain whatever prestige it might have lost since the mayor began his crusade for a good municipal government the or ganization, aided by a committee of twenty-one prominent citizens, all members of the union league, today selected a new local ticket to be voted for at the November election.
 Tonight three town meetings were held under the auspices of the city party as a. protest against the meth Ods of the organization. Immense crowds attended all of the meetings
 The principals speaking were Mayor Weaver, Charles Emory Smith, former postmaster general; Wayne McVeagh former attorney general; Wm. Potter former minister to Italy.
 Five days before Mayor Weaver broke with the organization the regu- lar republican convention nominated candidates for the Judiciary. the sher- if, coroner and city commissioner. The contest made by the city party on the ticket resulted in the withdrawal of all the candidates last week, with the eX- ception of the nominees for the bench.

Avon. Conn. Sept. 16.-With the death of Miss Dorothea Legeyt this afternoon the number of fatalities fol- lowing the explosion and fire in the factory of the Climax Fuse company yesterday has reached eleven.
 During the day the ruins of the main building cooled sufficiently to aI- low worlmen to go into the basement where they found parts of charred bodies. Identification was made pos sible, however. in all but two instances by some metallic article such as watch es, pins or buttons. The two bodies not identified are thought to be those of Nellie and Robert Mccarthy.
