Terms Settled on but Are

Delegates Say Conditions of Separa.

factorlly Closed
By Associated Press.
KARLSTAD, Sept. 23.— After pro
tracted sessions extending over some
weeks, the Norwegian and Swedish
delegates who met here to settle the
terms of separation of the two coun
tries, early this evening arrived at an
agreement on all points. The terms
were not made public.
In anticipation of an agreement large
crowds assembled around the building
In which the meetings had been h°ld
to witness the departure of the dele
gates. The Norwegians emerged Im
mediately upon the conclusion of the
sessions and were ( on their v.-ay to
Christiania a few minutes after the an
nouncement was made of the outcome
of the negotiations. The Swedish dele
gates remained within for some time,
but when they did show themselves
they received an ovation and were es
corted to their hotel by the crowd
which sang the Swedish national an
them. They left at midnight for Stock
holm.
The delegates refused to discuss the
terms of agreement, simply saying that
they would be given out early next
week.
An agreement had been anticipated
for some days, as both sides had been
adopting conciliatory attitudes.
The negotiations which are now con
cluded were preliminary In their na
ture. On one side the delegates were
four Swedish ministers, who' at the
time of the rigsdag decision were lead
ing members of the committee which
framed the Swedish conditions to as
rent of dissolution. On the other side
were delegates who led Norway in its
revolution of July 7, but who were not
guided by any decision of the Storth
ing. On the contrary, their every act
was looked upon with suspicion by men
more radical.
Opposed Sweden's Conditions
When Sweden's conditions were made
known many voices in Norway were
raised against acccedlng to them.
Premier Michelsen of Norway was
more conservative, and seeing the con
sequences to Norway of a breach with
Sweden, was willing to enter into an
agreement so long as it was honorable
to Norway and preserved as much as
possible of her national pride.
M. 1 Berner, president of the Nor
wegian Storthing, and M. Loveland, the
Norwegian foreign minister, were per
haps not so willing, but they followed
Premier Michelsen.
The purpose of the Swedish delegates
was to make an agreement preserving
the good feeling between the two peo
ples. From this view point, of course.
Sweden was compelled to Insist upon
the demolition of the frontier fortifica
tions which Norway, notwithstanding
the close connections of the two coun
tries, had erected against Sweden's en
tirely unfortified frontier.
The first purpose of the Swedish dele
gates was to hurt as little' as possible
the feelings of Norway, and the
Swedish delegates throughout the pro
ceedings have tried to find a way In
which the fortress located farthest from
the frontier could be made less threat
ening, while the others, they contended,
should be demolished. It is believed
this point was successfully carried. The
Swedish delegates were also anxious to
preserve free' and untrammeled the In
tercourse between the two countries,
and they also proposed that certain
agreements be made regarding transit
and waterways, which were equal In
benefit to both and which would pre
vent one country from Interfering with
the other. It is believed that these mat
ters were also settled to the satisfac
tion of both countries.
Finally Sweden did not consider that
she could leave unprotected the In
terests of the poor nomadic Laplanders
who for their very existence depend
upon the use of the pastures of both
countries at different seasons for their
reindeer. The Norwegians held out
against the granting of this right which
had been established for centuries; but
it is believed they at last gave in.
Norwegian Delegation Cheered

CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 24.— The NoiV
weglan delegation arrived here from
Karlstad at 1 o'clock this morning and
was received with cheers by several
thousand persons who were waiting at
the station. During the past week them
has been increasing agitation over the
question of a constitution for Norway.

organize a party but they are In ; a
hopeless minority. As the candidature

Charles of Denmark, who, if he accepts
the throne, iwill.be enthusiastically: re

fessed to having forged securities
amounting to upward of $100,000.

$685,000 and Its loans amounted to $654,
000, but $6000 was found in the Insti

possessed.
i On August 31, following a meeting of
depositors, Frank .M. Salmon, son of
Dr. G. Y. / Salmon, was formally
charged, with receiving deposits when

best of our abilities. No insolent boss
shall dictate to us. by telephone. No
grafter shall find the atmosphere of the
etate house congenial to his health and
business. Honesty and economy shall :
govern all our official actions, and
when we surrender our offices to the
people we shall have clean hands and
clean consciences, and you will have a
commonwealth once more the pride of
a great people."
