MARKET STREET.

Trustees, their attention will be called to the
dangers surrounding the existing electric
towers by which Alameda is lighted. Sur
mounting each of these towers are from three
10 six electric lights, and II is claimed That too
much light is wasted, and that better results
can be obtained by scattering the lamps on
single Masts, and the danger OF tower falling
is considered too great risk to run. as should
any one of them fall upon the buildings be-
meath them, great damage would be sustained,
10 say nothing OF the probability OF loss of life.
Sons OF these towers are $50 teet high, and
should they fall several buildings would OF
necessity be demolished.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
How the United States Won and
Lost an Island Group.

The King of Denmark consented
on the Oath of October, 1867, to
solemn treaty for the sale of his
West Indian islands to the United
States. Ratification was made by
stipulation, to be contingent on
the favorable vote of the West
Indian subjects. The
9th of January was appointed for
casting the vote. The inhabitants
recall it now as the brightest holi-
day the quaint town has ever wit
messed. Rejoicings with guns and
ringing bells accompanied the GER
emony, which was furthermore
cheered and enlivened by process
sions and serenades. Star-spangled
banners hoated from every roof and
tower, while in the decorations
American blue was substituted for
Danish scarlet. The Stars and
Stripes waved over the cross of
Denmark, and Hail Columbia"
became by repetition echoed from
the surrounding hills, as familiar
as "King Christian" the Danish
national hymn.
The ballot cast was declared
unanimous in favor of annexation
to the United States, there being
but twenty-five votes cast againstit
in st. Thomas, and not one dis
senting voice at st. John.
Other independent States have
adopted the American republican
system, and by so doing have justly
claimed special right to our sym
pathy and protection. The first
case on record, however, in which
a prosperous, peaceful, loyal and
contented community has freely,
and without the prospect of special
commercial gain, voted away ats
natural allegiance and adopted a
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-03-12

totally different rule, is that of the
Danish West Indians voting them
selves American citizens by joyous
reclamation. The record Of an
other national conquest, 80 proud
and peaceful, does not exist in all
history, and it is incomprehensible
that no response should ever have
been made to it by the nation to
whom this matchless tribute Of con-
fdence and admiration was so
gratuitously paid.
Denmark was now irrevocably
committed to the transaction, and
could show no reason far withhold
ins the last acts of contamination.
When the news of the vote
reached Copenhagen the Rigsdag
ratified the treaty without debate,
and the King, on Jan. 81, 1858, as
promptly signed it.
Meantime the fierce political
storm was raging at Washington,
and no notice was taken of the
treaty, recommended to the con-
sideration of the Senate by Presi-
Dental message weeks before. The
instrument itself lay buried in a
drawer of Mr.. Summers table in
the Foreign Relations Committee
room It is now known
that in March, 1870, the Committee
on Foreign Relations, Senator Sum-
ner at its head, Endorsed the one
word adversely" ON the st. Thorn
as treaty, and recommended ''sus-
pension of action" in regard to it.
The matter was never brought be-
fore the Senate, and may be said to
have been "smothered" in commit
tee.
It has been asserted that the
friendly relations between the
United States and Denmark were
impaired from this moment
How far this is true cannot be
known without rare PEN
tration into the silent
dignity with which the
sturdy Danish people have borne
the bitterness of unavenged wrong
and the calm reserve which has
characterized all intercourse be-
tween that small but indomitable
State with America since the
course of the United States in this
transaction was fully known and
comprehended.

This Is Now the Name of the Form
er Union Party.
A FEW CHANGES IN THE PLATFORM.
Eight New Members Added to the Tenn
pornry National Committee-A New
Plank That Advocates Extending Ed
ucationaI Advantages-The Chinese.

The joint committees from the
Union party and the American
League met yesterday morning at
the rooms of the Annexation Club.
From now on the Union party and
the League will pull together, and
harmony will reign supreme.
A few minor changes were made
in the platform of the Party one
of the most important was the
change of the name to the Ameri-
can Union Party.
One plank in the platform that
was slightly changed was the one
referring to Chinese and other
Asiatic labor. 1t was made a more
distinct and positive declaration
against the admission of such labor.
A new plank was put in, urging
that the scope of Government edu-
cation should be so extended that
ultimately a university education
would be available to the youth Of
the islands. An inter-island cable
was also recommended.
A committee of three was ap-
pointed to prepare a resolution
addressed to the Government, re-
commencing a change in the plan
of the registration of voters. 1t is
suggested that, in Honolulu at least,
a central place of registration should
be established, to prevent registra-
ton in two precincts and avoid re-
peaters. One or two changes were
made in the bylaws for district
clubs, but they were unimportant.
The planks of the Union party
platform referring to annexation,
the full support of the Provisional
Government, representative gov
eminent, land policy, public works
and prison labor were all endorsed,
and remain unchanged, as does
the plank in reference to the
organization of the party into dis
trict clubs.
Eight members of the American
League were added to the tempo
rary national committee of thir-
teen, one from each district and
three at large. They were as fol-
lows: First district, l.. H. Luther;
second district, J. S. Martin; third
district, James Mott, Jr.; fourth
district, w. P. O'Brien fifth dis
trict, J. l.. Carter, and at large J.
w. Pratt, L. c.. Ables and A. V.
Peters.
The result of the conference of
the joint committees seemed to be
a general expression of good party
feeling, and the indications now
are that perfect harmony will pre-
vail. The chairman ard secretary
of the former Union party will CON-
tinue to hold their positions in the
new organization.
