with Sweden with remarkable though
not unexpected unanimity. OF $50 .O0C
votes, 100000 cast ballots. The differ

THE result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next of.
fetal steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August 81, when
the result of the plebescite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat ne request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt in op-
Grafton and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the earn
est desire of Norway to conclude the
dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Many Reasons Urged on President
Against a NaIl.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15-Not-
withstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has emanated
from various sources during the last
few months, congress may not be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thOrity of President Roosevelt him
self. He has not decided definitely
yet and will probably not reach a de-
termination until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
OF September The chances of an eX-
traordinary session appear, however,
TO be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large
number of letters regarding it. Many
senators and representatives have
urged against an extra session

brake His fireman saved himself by
jumping. The high speed of the pas

first three coaches over on the engine
of the freight train, telescOping the
smoker and the car following. Several
cars of the freight train were splinter
ed to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers
of the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them getting out until
assistance arrived.

out of their seats into the aisle and
the roof and sides Oh the car seemed
all at once to crush in like a paper
bag, pinning down the passengers.
The passengers in the second car were
more fortunate. There the violence of
the impact was not so severe, though
few got off without cuts, bruises,
sprains or broken bones. No passen-
gers in the sleepers were injured.
The men on the train who escaped
injury worked hard to rescue the vic
Tins and were aided by residents from
the vicinity of the wreck. Some of the
injured were placed in the sleeping
cars while others were removed to
houses near the siding.
