CESSION TREATY
COMPACT OF TRANSFER OF WEST
INDIES TO UNITED STATES.
AWAITS THE ACTION OF STATES
Denmark Will Consult the People of
the Islands Before Finally Assent
ing to the Transaction Begun by
State Officials.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The trea
ty of cession of the Danish West In
dies islands from Denmark to the Uni
ted biates was signed at the State de
partment by Secretary Hay and Con
stantine Brun, the Danish minister.
The treaty will be submitted to the
senate for ratification immediately.
Following the invariable rule in
such cases the State department offi
cials decline to .make public any of
the details of the treaty so that it is
not possible to state positively the
price to be paid, though this is be
lieved to be in the neighborhood of
$5,000,000.
It is learned also that Denmark has
abandoned the position is was inclin
ed to occupy toward the conservation
of the political rights of the inhabi
tants of the island and gives the Uni
ted States a free hand to deal with
them without pledge of American cit
i 7 0*1 oVi i ti nr nf fro d n xr tl OO’OC
It is assumed that the status of
the Danish West Indian islands, politi
cally and commercially, should the
treaty be ratified, will be similar to
that of Porto Rico. Having gained
these points In the negotiations the
State department officials believe that
the treaty is certain to receive the
approval of the United States senate.
The new treaty is peculiar in that
it will require action not only by the
senate and Danish Rigsdag, but by the
United States house of representatives
as well, since it will be ne'cessary for
the house to supply the needed appro
priation to defray the expense of pur
chase.
It is regarded as a strong point by
the framers of the treaty that the peo
ple of the Danish West Indian islands
are to have a voice in the question of
cession. The treaty itself does not
contain any reference to a plebiscite,
but the Danish government has given
notice that before it ratifies the treaty
it will submit the question of cession
to the people of the islands.
Not much objection is expected here
from these people, as the treaty is so
framed that they are not called on
to surrender their Danish allegiance,
and they may remain Danes in fact
and name while enjoying whatever ad
vantages in a commercial way may
result from the transfer of the islands
to the United States.
The plebiscite will not be in any
way controlled by the United States.
It is stated distinctly that the Danish
government itself will take steps to
ascertain the inclinations of the peo
ple of the islands before the final
steps in the transfer are taken.
St. Thomas, the largest of the is
lands, is formed by a chain of high
hills running east and west. It is thir
teen miles long and measures three
miles at its greatest width and con
tains an acreage of seventeen square
miles. The sea surrounding this is
land is filled with small islets, called
keys, which belong to it.
MAGNATES ARE TO TESTIFY.
Harriman and Hill to Appear Before
Interstate Commission.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—What is expec
ted to be one of the most interesting
session the interstate commerce com
mission ever held began here today.
The promised presence of J. J. Hill
and E. H. Harriman, who are sup
posed to know all about the commu
nity of interests plan of the railroads
and who were expected to enlighten
the commission on various points con
cerning the plan, brought a crowd of
curious people, chiefly traction men,
into court.
Word was received that Mr. Harri
man and Mr. Hill were speeding to
ward Chicago and would go on the
stand during the afternoon.
It is the expressed purpose of the
commission to discover, if possible,
what changes, if any, have been cre
ated between the general public and
the railroads by reason of the “asso
ciate management” of the latter. The
commissioners desire to find out if the
carrying out of the community of in
terests idea has affected the rate sit
uation in a way contrary to law, or, as
claimed, if it is likely to effect to sta
bility and non-discrimination of, and
in, rates for which the commission has
long battled.
Investigates Cooper Murder.

Citizens of Northern Nebraska Are
Much Interested.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The citi
zens of northern Nebraska are very
anxious to learn the probable action
of the military commission which is
considering the question of mainte
nance or discontinuance of frontier
posts. They heard a rumor last week
to the effect that torts Meade, S.
D., Niobrara and Robinson, Neb., had
been singled out for abolition, but
careful inquiry failed to disclose any
basis for the report. The commission
will meet in Washington again Jan
uary 25. Its findings cannot, of
course, be forecasted positively, but in
timations were thrown out by high
officials that there is no immediate
cause of alarm. It is known that
Senator Millard has been working
upon this matter since last summer,
and has had repeated interviews with
the generals of the army in which he
presented some potent arguments fa
vorable to these posts, and why they
should be improved. The impression
prevails in the war office here that
heavy detachments of cavalry will be
stationed at the three forts named
during the year.
A GUN FOR ROOSEVELT.
Prince Henry Selects His Presents
for Americans.
BERLIN, Jail. 24.—Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia selected, at the
court jeweler’s, about fifty presents
for Americans with whom he will
come especially in contact during his
visit to the United States. The pres
ents include several gold and silver
boxes set with diamonds; they have
the emperor’s monogram, encircled
with diamonds, enameled on the lids;
beautiful silver cups with "Hohenzel
lern” enameled on them; gold and sil
ver cigarette cases, on which his ma
jesty’s autograph is traced in small
diamonds, and small compasses, en
cased in gold and silver boxes, with
“Hohenzollern” enameled on them.
Official secrecy is maintained as to
what the emperor and Prince Henry
will present to the president. Rear Ad
miral Robley D. Evans and Miss Al
ice Roosevelt, though it is well known
that his majesty will send Miss Roose
velt a jewelled bracelet and Prince
Henry will probably offer the presi
dent a fine hunting gun, with inter
changeable shot and rifle barrels, and
its accompanying equipment.
OPPOSED TO FREE SUGAR.
Argument Against that Feature of
Cuban Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—At the
session of the Cuban reciprocity hear
ing Nathan I. Stewart presented the
case of the Michigan beet sugar in
dustry. He said that $7,700,000 was
now invested and this industry had
grown up within three years. He ar
gued that congress had induced the
investment and should not destroy it
by granting concessions to Cuba.
C. D. Smith of the Michigan Farm
ers’ institute appeared at the request
of the governor of Michigan to present
the view of the farming interests en
gaged in raising beets. He spoke in
opposition to Cuban concession, as did
F. P. Hathaway of Michigan and Her
bert Myrick of Massachusetts.
While the hearing was going on a
petition was circulated on the floor of
the house requesting the ways and
means committee to make no change

the gunboat Marietta to proceed to

keeping close watch on any develop
ments which may threaten United
States interests or treaty rights and

A MILITARY POST!
THE HOUSE PASSES THE APPRO
PRIATION FOR THE PURPOSE.

Some of the Old Partisan Fire Inject
ed Into the Proceedings—Partisan
Applause Comes from Both Sides of
the House.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—
Some of the old partisan fire was in
jected into the proceedings of the
house today when the item in the ur
gent deficiency bill appropriating
?f>00,000 for a military post at Manila,
which the democrats have been using
as a text for speeches in opposition
to the Philippine policy of the admin
istration for the last three days was
read.
Mr. Cannon, in charge of the bill,
confessed that the appropriation was
subject to a point of order and it
went out. In lieu thereof he offered
an amendment to appropriate the
same sum for “shelter and protection”
of the officers and the enlisted men
of the army on duty in the Philip
pines. This the chair held to be in
order and it at once became the sub
ject of a very spirited debate, in
which Mr. Richardson, the minority
leader. Mr. Williams of Mississippi
and Mr. DeArmond of Missouri were
pitted against the chairman of the
ayyiuyrmuuus cumuiiu.ee.
Partisan applause came from each
side to cheer the respective champions
and there seemed to be a solid line
up on each side of the political affair.
But when the vote came, Mr. Cum
mings, a New York democrat, voted
with the republicans, turning angrily
on his political brethren as he did so
and with clenched fist in their faces,
crying out that he hoped he might
be paralyzed when he refused to
vote to protect an American soldier.
The vote on the adoption of the
amendment stood: Yeas, 127; nays,
100. Before the general debate closed
Mr. Watson paid a beautiful tribute
to the late President McKinley.
MUCH FOR THE CANAL.
Success of Liberals Means Good
Treatment of the Enterprise.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23—General Mo
desto Carces, second in command of
the Colombian insurgent forces, said
today with reference to the attitude
of his party on the canal question:
“The liberal party in Colombia is
anxious that the United States shall
own, manage and control the Panama
canal, and if in power will enact a
new constitution granting the United
States land requisite for the canal in
perpetuity. It shall concede better
terms than exist as to annual pay
ments due the Colombian government
on account of its previous contract
with the French canal company. If
successful in establishing a govern
ment the liberal party will be in po
sition to treat officially with the Uni
ted States regarding all canal mat
ters.
“The situation in Colombia,” he
continued,” is this: The liberal armies
located at different points throughout
the interior of Colombia number
more than 20,000 men under efficient
generals. All are volunteers, serv
ing without pay, and have met with
most encouraging success in capturing,
strategic points. When these armies
are increased in strength by the re
ceipt of arms and ammunition al
ready shipped to them we believe the
Colombian government will be forced
to capitulate or amend its constitu
tion to conform with the clear-cut
modern ideas which the liberal party
is fighting for, and particularly relat
ing to the Panama canal.”

charges to private ownership benefit
