tory of the Disunion and the
Causes.

Karlstad, Spain, Sept. 25.-An agree.
ment was reached Saturday morning
on the terms of the dissolution of the
union of Norway and Sweden The
understanding was arrived at during
the final session of the delegates,
which lasted over three hours, and the
meeting adjourned until 1870 p. m.
During the adjournment the secre-
taries were engaged in preparing a
protocol for the signature of the rep
resentatives of the two countries.
Agreement Is Signed.
The full agreement was reached and
signed at $40 p. NJ, when the confer
ence terminated. The protocols will
be published next week at Christiania
and Stockholm simultaneously.
On the reassembling of the delegates
some point of disagreement developed,
and they were still in conference at
five p. m. A rumor spread soon after
the delegates reassembled to the ef-
feet that an agreement had been signed
and this was telegraphed to Christi
ania Special trains were in readiness
and Christiania, but these arrange
ments were countermanded
Beginning of Trouble.
In May last the Norwegian parlia-
ment by an almost unanimous vote
passed bill for consular service
Independent of that of Sweden. This
bill was vetoed by King Oscar and in
consequence the Norwegian ministry
resigned.
The king refused to accept the res
ignation and then on June the par
lament in Christiania adopted a res
olution declaring that the union of
| Norway with Sweden under one king
i was dissolved in consequence of the
/ kings having ceased to act as a Nor.
wegian king
Called It Revolutionary.
An address to King Oscar reciting
the step taken and the reasons there
for was also adopted, but the king
refused to receive it, declaring that
! the action taken was revolutionary.
The next move was on the part of
/ King Oscar, who summoned a special
meeting of the Swedish riksdag to
consider the situation. This body au.
! thorized the government to negotiate a
/ loan of $25,00O000 for works of de.
Tense and declared the harbors of
Stockholm, Karlskrona, Gothenburg and
Farosund to be war ports from which
all foreign naval vessels were to be
| excluded
Looked Like War for Time.
For time the outlook was warlike
but the excitement gradually GAINED
down and the riksdag finally adopted
resolutions agreeing to the dissolution
of the union on certain conditions
One of these was that the people Of
Norway should take referendum vote
on the question of separation.
When the votes were counted it wa:
found that 3S6,200 were for separation
and 1874 against it. Committees wer,
then appointed to consider the details

REQUEST Time FOR ANSWER
ARKANSAS AUTHORITIES MAY
BAR PRESIDENTS TRAIN.
New Orleans Nevertheless Preparing
for Roosevelt's Visit-Five New
Cases at Pensacola.

New Orleans, Sept. %. - While the
fact that the Arkansas authorities have
asked ten days time in which to give
a definite answer to Dr. Whites inquiry
as to whether the presidents train can
enter that state after leaving here, has
caused some disappointment, it is the
expectation of the health authorities
that the situation will have sufficiently
improved by October 1 to warrant the
officials of the sister state in then giving
the permission. Meanwhile New Or
leans is going forward with it's prepare
tons to receive the president, and it
is the opinion of the entire medical fra
ternity that he could come here without
the slightest risk.
The conditions here are constantly
improving notwithstanding occasional
jumps in the number of cases, the class
ing of other types of fever with yellow
fever being responsible for the unfav-
vorable aspect sometimes given the sit
uation. The news from the country
shows improvement in some sections
and aggravation of conditions in other
portions. The appearance of two more
cases at Baton Rouge, one resulting in
death, has caused much depression at
the capital and will probably result in
| the restoration of guarantees
against it.
The yellow fever up to noon Thurs
day was as follows: New cases since
six p. NJ, Wednesday, Is; total to date,
2,704; deaths, L; total 352.
The biennial report of the city board
shows the yearly deaths in New Or
leans to be about $500; 1,001 from tuber-
| .culosis, 651 from heart disease, 618 from
Bright's disease, 465 from diarrhoea and
| ,440 from pneumonia. There have been
| thus far 351 deaths from yellow fever
this year and at the present rate, if the
| fever is not stamped out, for month
the total will be about 500. The figures
are cited to show how mild has been the
| present epidemic as a result of the ap-
plication of modern scientific methods
in its handling.
Pensacola, Fla, Sept. %. - Five new
cases were reported Thursday morning
in the official bulletin All of these have
| been i'll for some days and in at least
three cases attempts have been made
to keep the disease from the knowledge
| of the doctors.
