Delphic Declaration, of
the Delegates Taken
to Mear, that Com
promise Has Been
Reached Working
on Details.
THE DAY AT kARLSTAD.
karIstad, Sweden, Sept. 18.-The
Norwegian and Swedish delegates
were In session for two hours this
morning.
BY w. B. CHAMBERLAIN.

The news that the Karlstad con-
ference is on the eve Of an agreement
is none the less welcome because ex-
pected. It has seemed from the first
quite impossible that the brother ma
tions should go to war, when there was
so little real difference between their
respective proposals..
Of course, there has always been the
possibility that the conference all
the long series Of conferences that have
gone before on various phases of the
union question-.might break up with
out accomplishing anything. Even that,
however, would not have meant war
necessarily. It would have meant that
Norway must seek recognition as a
member Of the family of nations, GER
tainly without the approval and per
haps with the active opposition Of
Sweden. It would have meant constant
friction between the two countries at
all the many points where they are in
contact-geographically, commercially,
industrially and politically. Beyond
doubt, Norway, after almost a century
of practical autonomy, would have Sc
cured the recognition of her right to
leave the union. But the way would
have been made hard and thorny.

Utterance Delphic but Significant.

The prospect of an amicable agree
ment-1ikely to be formally reached on
dnesday-changes the aspect Of
things and relieves the tension on both
sides of the boundary. The announce
ment made on Saturday sounds rather
delphic. It reads as follows: ..-

EARTH TO YIELD MUCH GOLD.
Experts Say This Years Production
Will Be Large.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Accord-
ing to treasury experts there will be
greater production of gold this year
than ever before in the history of the
metal have recently been discovered
in Nevada and the general outlook for
gold mining has caused some COM
ment in financial circles. Director
Roberts of the mint says:
"a great increase in the production
of gold means the coming of proper
tionate number of coins. There is no
limit set by law upon the amount Of
gold that may be put in circulation.
No amount of gold production could
lower the value of money, so long as
the law says a gold coin shall consist
of a specific number of grains of metal.
An increased coinage means more
money in circulation. The banks will
have more money to lend and curren-
cy will be easily secured. There is no
immediate danger of a. fall in the price
of gold. The figures for 1904 are not
yet available, but they will probably
show a large increase in gold produc-
ton, possibly greater than in 1902,
which was a most prosperous year for
mining industries. In 1902, the pro-
duction Of gold i'm this country aggre-
gated $SO,OOO,O00.
