Influence of Pozcers.

Karlstad Sept 16.-The first official announce
nent indicating that the delegates of Norway
and Sweden were approaching an understand
ing in their effort TO establish a modus vivendi
for the countries as separate governments was
given out tonight at the close Of the joint ses-
sion Of the delegates. This announcement reads:
The proba bilities are that in the near fut-~e
the negotiations can be brought to a definite re-
suit
This somewhat cryptic announcement is ac-
cepted as indicating that the negotiations have
fnaIly. reached a stage where an agreement is
n sight and that resort to arms, which might
have involved other powers may safely be con-
siiered to be out of the question At this hour
the delegates and other officials decline to throw
further light on the subject OF the negotiations
which will be resumed tomorrow.
Il is taken for granted, however, that a COM
rrornise has been reached the subject Of fortl-
f7ogtions, which has been the crux Of the situa-
ton since the start. and that the main questions
viii be submitted 10 arbitration
Il IS believed here that considerable lnnuence
was brought 10 bear on both sides looking 10
concessions by which the wounding OF the SEN
sibilities of the people of either nation might be
avoided and an understanding between the Scan
dinavian peoples might be reached
While It is possible the exact terms or an
agreement have been drawn up and approved by
both sides, the indehniteness of the official an
nounoement and the resumption of sessions OF
the delegates tomorrow lead TO the Inference
that only the broad ternsgon which Sweden will
consent TO a dissolution of the union were set
tied As both sides up to this morning appeared
firm in their demands regarding the fortresses'

cessions We're made.
