says It appears that the Danish Minister, who ar
rived few days ago. was unaware that there was any
difference between the Executive and Congress regarding
the purchase OF the Island Of st. Thomas HIS friends
say that Secretary Seward had represented the mat
the Danish Government to leave the impression
that the treaty would be quickly ratified by TINS Govern

called upon Mr. Seward 10 consult with him In regard TO
the natter but the latter pleaded an eXtTaordnary press
