To Buy st. Thomas.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Sscretary Olney
has had two or three conferences this
week with different members of the for
elgn relations committee, and has Civ
en- his approval to the Lodge resolution
now before the senate committee. which
directs 1t to report on the ACCESSIBILITY
of making an offer to Denmark for the
three islands in the Wsst Indies which
she has offered to the United States.
The president so far has not been
questioned on the subject of the rsso-
luton, but 1t Is believed that he will
fully approve the course which Mr.. OIL
ney will recommend to be adopted. This
will be for the negotiation of treaty
for the transfer of the islands for a
sum to be fixed by the two govern
ments.
Denmark, 1t is understood, has adj
vanced her price over that held in 1854
through increase in the value of the
property on the islands and their de-
velopment. She would probably part
with the three, it is said, for Sc, 600 600,
and for St. Thomas alone for about half
this amount. The islands, 1t is be.iev-
ed, would be all that the county would
require In the pursuance of a policy of
securing some naval stations beyond
the boundaries of the United States and
that St. Thomas would be the one pur-
chased of the three

the chairman of the relief committee
in Constantinople, by the way of Phil

Weather severe. Many dying from
exposure and starvation. Distribution

In explanation OF this cablegram 1t
may be stated that funds have been
forwarded to the relief committee by
the assistant treasurer of the Amsri-
can Board, the Christian Herald of New

mittee in different cities. The Christian
Herald and occasional givers have des-

without the least knowledge of the situ-
alton, or the relative needs and degrees S
of suffering. Hence the cable request
for an option on appnrtionment.

bers of the nominating committee: NJ.
