WAR NAY be AvERrEp..
Norway and Sweden on The Point Of
5> Settling Their Difterences
r. King Edward Aids.

Karlstad, Sept. 1S.--It IS believed
that Sweden has averted all danger Of
war with Norway by proposing : com.
promise by which Norway need only
disarm her forts instead Of demolish-
ishing them. The compromisejanswer
Sweden's purpose and relieves Nor
way Of humiliation. The first official
announcement indicating that the dele
gates Of Norway and Sweden were ap-
preaching an understanding I'M their
effort to establish modus Yivendi for
the countries as separate governments
was given out Saturday night at the
close of the joint session Of the dele
gates. This announcement reads:
1.-THE probabilities are that IN the near
future the negotiations can bs brought
to definite result" This cryptic an
nouncement is accepted as indicating
that the negotiations have finally
reached stage where an agreement is
in sight and that a resort to arms,
which have involved other powers, may
safely be considered to be out Of the
question. >. 5s45.S
London, Sept. 1S.-The belief that
there would be an amicable settlement
of the Swedish-Norwegian dispute has
developed into confidence. There is rea-
son to believe that King Edward has
taken a direct personal interest In the
matter, and it is known that messages
bearing on the situation at Karlstad
have been continually passing between
the foreign Office and the king Tor sew
eral days. In fact, it is believed that
King Edward suggested modus VI
venudi. The exact nature Of this, of
course, is not known. ~

NcW .1OIh, SSQL. 4V'"OA IAo Ss"AAo
Friday afternoon, in the insurance in
'vestigation, George w. Perkins pro-
duced check for $48,702 drawn by the
New York Life Insurance company De-
cember 30, 1904, payable to J. P. Nor
gan & Co: Mr.. Perkins testified that
this check was . contribution to the
national republican committee and was
promised. to Cornelius N. Bliss, treas
urer Of the committee. Mr.. Perkins
said the same thing was done in 1896
and 1900. The reason for these con-
tributions, he said, was that the COM
pany, feared Its assets would be endan-
gered in case of democratic success.
Eposus, N. Y, Sept. 1S.-To an inter-
viewer, who called at Rosemount,
Judge Parker's home. and asked If he
had anything to say In relation to the
statement made by Vice President
George w. Perkins Of the New York
Life. Insurance company before the
legislative committee Investigating the
insurance business, to the effect that
President John A. Mccall Of that COM
pany had caused a contribution of
about $50 00o0 to be made last year to
the republican national campaign fund,
Judge Parker said: "a [:..::>, s=;}=s}f. ;za. u
Yes, !. believe I ought to say, now
that there is no political excitement to
distract the public attention, that the
president Of the New York Life. was
not the only such contributor. The
oficers of other. great, life insurance
companies, such as the. Equitable and
the Mutual, also contributed from, the
policy-holders' funds for campaign
purposes last. year. What has been
proved In the case Of the New York;
Life will undoubtedly be proved in the
other cases. The facts exists and hon
est and able counsel, backed by an
honest committee, will undoubtedly
bring them out for the public. good.
Were there an Investigation Of rail
road, manufacturing and other corpo-
rations It would be found that these
life insurance ohhcers were not the only
corporation officers who put their
hands into the treasury and took out
moneys belonging to widows and or
phans to help secure a partisan tri-
umph. That their acts were unlawful

St. Petersburg, Sept 10 e. Emperor
Nicholas again appears before the
world ~ q promotor Of universal peace.
No sooner IS the Russo Japanese war
over, and even before the peace treaty,
has been rati fied, /, than his majesty is
sues invitations to second peace COM
ference at The Hague. That the ems
peror has done so was learned from q
source (which leavesSno shadow of q
doubt as its authenticity. 5ts .g r.
1t is officially announced that the
Russian government proposed TO ad-
dress the foreign powers with the
view to holding a second peace confer
ence at The Hague" but it is known
that negotiations preceding this an. az Z
nouncement that the government ''pro-
posed, to address the powers were en-
tered into, especially with the United
States, and were conducted with the
greatest secrecy, there being not the
slightest inkling that Russia contem-.
plated anything Of the kind. a.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here, and that Russia
should propose second peace congress.
notwithstandingt the close relations be-
tween Emperor Nicholas and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was heard with amaze
ment It is clear the step could not
be taken by Russia without first reach
ing complete understanding with
President Roosevelt. The fact that
President Roosevelt is reported as be-
ing entirely in sympathy with the idea
that the promoter Of the frst confer
ence should be the lnstigator of the
second, and readily and gladly acceded
to the Russian proposal, is = clear proof
that the conference has already been
called and that President Roosevelt
relinquished his part in it to the en-
'peror. ~. 7-zs S,@ J.. ..n ~ %.@&

that the news even of the intention of

Avon, Conn, Sept. 16.-The explo-
sion OF fuse, followed by q fire in q
building of the Climax Fuse company
here Friday afternoon caused panic
among 20 employees in the building and
resulted in the death of seven and in
luries that doubtless will prove fatal
to several others. There was no way
of coping with the flames, which soon
spread rapidly, and in less than an
hour after the explosion occurred those
who were unable to escape were In the
clutches of q fire that eventually
burned their bodies to ashes. AS the
day wore on the great crowd that col
lected in the hamlet saw the bodies OF
men and women roasting in the fire
and We're powerless to check the
flames.
The Victims.
The dead are: William Burke, 40
years old, married; James Joyce, about
IS, married; Robert Mccarthy, aged
1S; James Wallace, married; Mollie
Mccarthy, Miss j. Sullivan, Mrs. NJ. B.
Tucker. Eleven persons were injured.
The exact cause of the accident
which caused the loss of seven lives
may never be known, but it is the ac-
cepted theory here that in an effort to
burn out stoppage In one of the ma
chimes workman caused an explo-
sion of fuse, with the hot iron he
held in his hand.
Infiammable material was set on fire
and in few moments the room was a
mass of flames. In an instant there
was mad rush for the doors and win
dows, and during the scramble many
were pushed back into the building,
while others were severely burned.
The scene at the fire was heartrend-
ing. Friends and relatives of the
missing were almost frantic with grief
when it became known that bodies of
those close to them were being burned
to a crisp in the ruins of the factory.
AS there is no fire department in the
town it was utterly useless to cope
With the flames with buckets.
Helpless to Save.
AS one of the walls of the second
largest building fell several bodies
could be seen entangled in the mass of
machinery in the basement, and in
short time they we're reduced to ashes.
Early in the evening the body of a wo-
man was seen near the edge of the fire
and an effort was made to pull it away
from the flames, but on account Of the
great heat this was impossible. s. i
Soon after the building In which the
lives were lost was consumed the fire
spread to the new structure, which was
just completed at cost of 5000, and
in a few hours this building was gut
ted, only the four walls remaining.
Two smaller buildings were reduced to
ashes, making total of four burned,
the loss on which is estimated to be
100000.
