Karlstad Meeting Was Understood TO
Mean a Series of Preliminary
Sessions of Commission.
SWEDEN
Stockholm.


Of negotiations between the Swedish
and Norwegian commissioners at Karl
stad signifies deadlock or serious
disag reement is without foundation.
When the commissioners met Aug. 81
it was expressly agreed to hold a
series of preliminary sessions, then
adjourn to confer with the respective
governments at Stockholm and Christi
ania, after which it was expected the

union could be drawn up without de-
lay. The renewal of war talk during
the interval between Sept. 7th and
18th had no foundation in fact, as
doubtless the early conclusions Of the
commission will show. Just previous
to the meeting of the commissioners
the acting mayor of Karlstad issued
proclamation advising against any
attempt to influence or disturb the ne
gotiations by means Of public demon
STATIONS OR expressions Of sentiment.

eff the gentleman who has just spoken

terms about Norway's national honor
he would be man without a coun-
try"

1t is told Of the wife of the recently
appointed minister of agriculture,
Peterson of Paboda, the first farmer
in the cabinet, that when she heard
Of the honor conferred upon her hus-

considered model of up-to-date meth
