NORWAY-SWEDEN DISSOLUTION
Commissioners Meet To-day to Open the
 Negotiations.

Negotiations.
 Carlsbad, Aug. 30.-The opening of the negotiations here tomorrow between the Swedish and Norwegian commits sioners on the question of the dissolu- ton of the union is awaited with in- tense interest. The Scandinavian news papers are largely represented. The question mostly discussed is as to what fortresses Sweden will call upon Nor way to abolish. The Associated Press has reason to believe that these will be the fortress and Fredrigsten, Kongs- Vinger, Orje and Dingsrud, but it is understood that the Norwegians will positively refuse to abolish those of Fredriksten and Kongsyinger.
 The Norwegian delegates arrived to- night. Their hands are tied by the de- cision of the Storthing that nothing shall be decided by them without its consent.
 The Swedish delegates will arrive in the morning.

 Three Straight Heats, Lady Gall Ham,
 ilton Being Second and Hurley Third
 --Peruna Lands the PHO Pace in
 Straight Heats--one Race Goes Over.
 Providence. R. I., Aug, 30. Rain, which fell shortly after o'clock, re- cessitated the postponenert of a part. of to-day's programme at the grand. circuit meeting at Narrag gansett park. The rain did not come, however, until the unfinished Park Brew stakes of yes terday had been decided, Edwin c de- feating Allerson for first money.
 The $5,O00 Roger Williams stake for 2:12 trotters was also decided, Sadie Mac outclassing her field and winning in straight heats
 Peruna carried off the PIP pacing event in straight heats. The rain caused the postponement of the 2:255 pacing event until tomorrow, the race. at that time standing two heats for Albuta and one for the favorlte, Inter- Ocean.
 The fourth event scheduled for the day, the 2:16 trot, was not called, but was also postponed until tomorrow.
 Tn the two races which were ffnish- ed favorites got away with first money Sadie Mac being an almost prohibitive favorite in the Roger Williams stake, and Peruna in the 2:10 pace. In the unfinished Park Brew, Allerson was the choice to win the seventh heat and race, but broke badly going away and was unableto catch Edwin c before he reached the wire.
 A crowd of 7,500 people was in at tendance.
 In the scoring of the field of eleven horses in the second heat of the 2:10 pace there was considerable jockeying on the part of the drivers and after three attempts to get away had been made. Starting Judge Newton fined the driver of Ed Geers, Caffeeno and Texas Booker $25 each h the next score for the word the jockeying was repeated and this time the same three drivers, with Davis of Owhyo, were fined $50 each, In the next score the word was given.
 In the Roger Williams stake the only. question was how second, third and fourth moneys would go, as Sadie Mac clearly outclassed her field stepping all three heats well in front of the others. Lady Gail Hamilton, who was in pole position in the first heat, finished strong and captured second place, while in the second heat Hurley won the place over Morn. In the third heat Lady (Continued on Flights Page.) .@.

PEACE FOLLOWED BY SERIES OF EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

Buildings Shake PereeptibIy, Dishes
 Fall From Shelves and People Rush
 In Terror from Their Homes--Three
 Distinct shocks-First Impression
 Was That Magazine Had Blown lip.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. SO.-A series of earthquake shocks, the most severe ever experienced in this section, were felt here late this afternoon. Buildings trembled perceptibly, dishes were shak- erl from shelves and in many cases peo- pie rushed in terror from their houses into the street. There were three dis tinct shocks. Iii each instance the tre- mor was accompanied by a sound like distant explosion. The first impression was that the powder magazine in the navy yard had exploded and hundreds of queries along this line were received at the yard. There Lad been no explo- sion, however. and inasmuch as the shocks were felt along the entime New Hampshire coast, it was soon realized that the city had been visited by a seis- mic disturbance. The first shock was felt Q little before $40 p. m. and the other shocks followed soon after.
 Iii the business section of the city the shoppers and store employees rush. ed out into the streets, believing that the buildings were about to collapse Each of the three shocks continued for several seconds.

The rem- nant of the Japanese retired, bearing their wounded.
