port, and this would increase when
the project of cutting the isthmus Of
Panama was realised. He was Of
the opinion that st. Thomas would
be able to pay the proposed contribu-
ton to the state-treasury of 100000
Crowns. He agreed with Mr.. Stirup,
that St. Croix was poor, and that it
was unnatural to keep up the private
estates by continued loans, especially
when there was a lack of ability; it
was a different matter to grant a
temporary assistance on account of
the extraordinary state of affairs af-
ter the riots. He considered it to be
an open question, Whether the seat
of Government ought to be in ST
Thomas or st Crofx, ana this ques-
ton need not be decided by the le-
gislative power. The reason for NOV
ing the seat of government to St Tho
mas lay in the then existing circum-
stances these had perhaps now chang
ed, so that the seat ought to be in St.
Croix, and if this was the case the
movement would of course be effected.
lie then recommended the enactments
in the draft concerning the military
force, which would make it possible
for the authorities to uphold order.
Mr.. Thomas Nielsen was mistaken in
counting much upon the selfgovern-
ment established by the COlonial-law.
the Colonial Council had repeatedly
asked to get rid of it. Had this self
government not been, he thought no
riots would have come to pass, as be-
fore 1868 a military force Of $50 men
was considered proper, but after this
year the Colonial Council reduced it
to 1874 men; in 1872 theIforce was fur
Their reduced to 225 and in 1877 the
Council even reduced it to III men,
whereof 81 in st. Croix. Then came
the riots. According to the draft the
force would be increased to the same
number as after the first reduction.
He could not acknowledge that the
Colonial Treasury was hopelessly
bankrupt. Ii was true that the last
budget showed IL deficit of $4,000.
When the State Treasury took
over the military force, the deficit
would thereby sink to about $4,000,
and when one remarked, that the
Budget had an amount of about
$4,000 to the factory, which would
not be paid, if there was no money,
then a balance would III reality be
brought about by the draft \. If ST.
croix should be helped thoroughly,
it would however be necessary to con-
tribute towards the erection of one or
two new factories, as the ~sugarcultiva-
ton more and more demands that the
raising of canes is separated from the
manufacturing. On the estates Of the
State-Treasury the production had
increased about ninefold**). He
sympathised with the idea of creating
small freehold properties (Selveiea-
domme) in St. ,Croix. The affairs were
nowundoubtedly betterthan they were
one, not to speak of two or three years
ago, and the campaign had begun sue
cessfully. The freelabour which was
now introduced seemed to satisfy all
parties. He recommended the draft
for adoption rs it gave the necessary

seems to give a fuller account OF what
the Minister said.
St1rup spoke of the circumstances
of the Danish West India Islands and
of the reason for the decline Of the
Islands. If st. Criox had gone back,
it was not through any fault Of
the soil, which was good, but it was
badly cultivated. The farmer there
wanted insight and means. To give
such people further loans or advances
would be throwing money into a bot
tomless bag. The Government ought
to see that others went to st. Croix,
but they should be capitalists. 1t
would in the meantime be necessary
to provide such with guarantees for
their person and property. The riot
was not the cause of the decline of st.
Croix, which had already taken place
before but it made it necessary to
keep a somewhat larger military
force there. He would submit to the
Government to let the Governor live
in ST. Croix, and he complained of the
manner In which the American and
British Consuls had acted during the
riots. He would desire that the
eventual Committee would keep to
the case and not waste time in asking
questions which had nothing to do
with it.
1b. Nielsen stated that the condi-
lions in the Westindies had become
worse and worse, and they would not be
improved by this Law. If it should be
adopted, it would at least be Uecessa-
ry to temporarily suspend the Coloni-
al Law. lie feared that we would be
obliged every year to grant St. Tho
mas the 100, 000Kr., which, according
to the Law, it should contribute to
the States general necessities. When
we looked to what it had cost the
State to carry OH the estates, it had
been obliged to take over, and which
constantly cause considerably loss, it
became doubtful if anything couldbe
done with st. Croix, even by persons
who had capital. Quiet and order
should be maintained-the Committee
had last year been agreed thereupon;
but il had likewise agreed, that extern
sive investigation Of the condition of
affairs out there should be made.
Taubey did not believe that the
House should admitthe Governments
constant demands for money, when
it could not propose arrangements
which would lead to alasting improve
ment of affairs. He desired a parlia-
mentary Commission appointed to
take the matter into consideration.
StdrWp made ON remarks to TIL.
Nielsen.
TvermOes looked upon the case as
fully debated last year, he would
therefore be brief. 1t was necessa-
ry to attract capable and wealthy
colonists to the Islands, and in this
the Law proposal could assist, in pro-
viding better guarantees of peace and
order. He did however not believe
that any large capital was required
to establish in St. Cro;x. 1t would
further be necessary to secure the
inhabitants such a result from their
agriculture as would pay. He did
not believe that the regulations re-
garding the military force could be
