for Stockholm.
Terms Not Announced.
The delegates refuse to discuss the
terms OF agreement simply saying that
they would be given out early next
week. An agreement had been anti
cipated for some days. as both sides
had been adopting conciliatory atti-
tudes.
The negotiations which are now con
Guided were peculiar I'm nature. ON one
