That the Norwegian Storthing; did not bestow the Nobel Peace Prise on Presl- dent Roosevelt with public opinion In that country and Sweden, where the great Nobel benefaction, originated, undivided of the award, is plain from advice, received In the la.t fewl toy. from Scandinavia. For acme month before the bestowal of the Drixe. there had been considerable Station In favor of awarding the Peace to the so-called KaxUtad group of Swedish and Norwegian statesmen who arbitrated the olffereccea between Sweden and Norway the time of the breach, and who negotiated the peaceful of the two countries. Tne well-known Norwegian a uthoress.

EHibth Schoyen, led the fight on the Norwegian side. The keynote of her argument was that an ounce of prevention vas better than pound of cure, and be pointed out that the Joint commission bad halted on the brink of a dangerous -crisis, a situation which would have led to a war that would have been disastrous In It. consequence, to both of the Scandinavian countries, while President Roosevelt merely was the means of ending war after all the damage had been done, War Narrowly Averted. In connection with this, a hitherto suppressed chapter of the Karlstad negotiation, ha. been brought to light which how acute the wai at one time.

The two Governments, realizing that If the episode had become public at the time It occurred ltwould in all probability have brought on the war which both were so anxious to avert, did all In their power to keep It a secret, and It is only now that all the danger Is conald-ered past that the veil has been partly lifted and a glimpse of what occurred has been afforded to a few persona close to official source, of information. Here an account of the occurrence containea in a letter from a Swedish official recently received in this city: What occurred In the course of the negotiation, at Karlstad has of course beea kept a strict secret, but I am in a position to tell you of some facta which have become known to a few, and which how how near war was at one time. "Mr. Lundeberg (head of the Swedish commission) showed himself a skillful diploitat. but Mr.

Mlchelsen. the leading man on the Norwegian side, was his match. Undoubtedly he did better for hi. country than anYether man could tare done In view of the difficulties by which he was confronted. Perhaps you know that the negotiations were postponed for some day.

after having been 'In progress for a couple of weeks, and that the confcrrees returned to their respective capitals in the interim. At the very same time the Norwegian newspapers and emissaries made every effort to convince the world that the Norwegian army was not being mobilized save for a feeble corps of 8,000 men strung along the frontier to act as guards. Of course our Intelligence Department and tlfe General Staff were well posted on what was going on, but there waa no way of conveying the proofs to the public so that the Norwegian preparations for war could be stopped. Norway's Army Mobilized. Now we know that the Norwegian assertions were false, because the Norwegian Minister of War has since publicly admitted that 30,000 men were in readlL nesa, and that out of these 10,000 men were In camp at the frontier near (an important railroad junction on the Swedish side.) While the conference was adjourned the proprietor of the Grand Hotel In Karlstad, where the Norwegian members of the joint commission bad been stopping, celebrated the wedding of his daughter.

Among the guests Invited to the wedding feast was Mr. 8., owner of ono ef the leading restaurants in Stockholm." The letter goes on to say that when the restaurant proprietor and his wife arrived at Karlstad they were received at the Grand Hotel by their host. The restau rant keeper said In jest to the Utter that he and his wife would put up with no other room than the on that had been occupied by one of the Commissioners. Well, you shall have a room that has been occupied by none leas than Mr. Mlchelsen," said the host.

Mr. 8. and his wife took possession pf the quarters occupied by Mr. Mlchelsen. Mrs.

8., after tbey had been shown to the room, asked her husband to help her open a drawer in a bureau. In the drawer they found a roll of papers dealing with mill tary affairs and bearing the name of Mr. Mlchelsen. Mr. 8.

put the papers in his traveling bag, and after return to Stockholm he asked a newspapei man what he should do with the docu meats. 'The newspaper man," the letter con tlnuea, advised Mr. S. to hand the docu menta to Mr. Lundebenr at once.

Mr. Lundeberg was much shocked and startled by the contents. After a casual perusal of the papers, he sought an audience with the King and advised his Majesty to mobilise the Swedish army at once. King Oscar Anxious for Peace. The King, I have been told, with tears In his eyes urged Mr.

Lundeberg to do his utmost to prevent bloodshed. When Mr Lundeberg returned to Karlstad, the of th Swedish commissioners wore a grave but determined look. The Norwegian Comtnlsaioners looked exceedingly elated. After the first session there was a change about. The Norwegian commissioners looked decidedly depressed, while the Swedish Commissioners looked faan- The letter describes what occurred at this session, which the Norwegians afterward came to call Terrible Friday.

Before consenting to resume negotiations. Mr. Lundeberg demanded of Mr. ailcbel-! that the military movements going on in Norway should stop and the troop should be withdrawn from the frontier. If -not, he said, he waa authorised to cut hort the negotiations and' return to Stockholm with his fe'llow-Commissloner.

The pavement for about thirty-five feet abeve the pipe caved In. One bole over the break was at least ten feet deep and as many feet In width. Soon after the break occurred the street was closed to traffic by the( police.

The foundation of the Trust Company Building was not affected by the accident. Thls, foundation is sunk down sixty feet. There is another foundation a distance of thirty-five feet between this and th sidewalk. An Iron brace wall bad been put between the street and the building, and this saved tons of dirt from going Into the Thought It Was an Earthquake. A watchman In one of the buildings in Wall Street, describing the accident, said that at about 4:30 yesterday afternoon -to was standing on the corner of William Street when he heard an explosion that shook tb earth.

Looking down Wall Street he saw a bug volume of steam and tons' of dirt and asphalt lifted high into air. He says he watched the mass rise; be thought It went up fully on hundred feet or more and then plunged down Into the ten foot hole that was made. Several person near by at the time ran away, one man crying out, It'a an earthquake! The watchman on duty In the Trust Company building heard the report and ran out on to the sidewalk. He passed underneath the falling mass and was slightly bruised on th body. A number of windows in the tall building adjoining were smashed by flying stones.

Pieces of asphalt and stones were sent flying in all directions. A huge piece of asphalt was found lying at the base of the statue of Washington on th Sub-Treasury Building. A runway leading out of the Trust Company building Into the street sank about a fopt. The asphalt pavement was ripped and torn and huge crevices, out of which steam escaped, were made.

George Richards succeeded in turning the steam off from the pipe at the corner of Broad and Wall Street.

He said that with night and day gangs working it would probably take all of the day to repair the break. The only explanation offered a to th cause of the accident was that there waa a small spring or lake beneath the street at that point. The constant washing of the water, it was stated, loosened the earth underneath the flfteen-lnch steam pipe, and thus caused It to The pipe was at all times subjected to. very high pressure. It couldn't stand the strain and burst.

After th break occurred water from th street poured Into the sub-cellar, of the trust company building. But this did not give alarm to the foreman in charge, as be bad men stationed at dif ferent parts of the cellar with electric pumps at work clearing It away as fast as It felL Cold Office for Mr. Morgan.
