NO APOLOGY ASKED FOR.
No Demand Msde Upon Great Britain
For Opening siacrum's Letter.

Washington, March e7.-1t Is said at
TIE state department regarding the story
that Great Britain has apclogized 70 this
government for the action Of the censor
in opening letters TO the United Stairs
consul at Pretoria, that the United States
government has made no demand upon
the British governm snt for an apology ss
the Off cials cay that Mr. kacrun who
was consul ut Pretoria when the mail IL
gald to have been opened made n ofilcial
complaints on that subject and thus the
state department has nothing official to
serve as basis for demand. The gov
srnment itself voluntarily took notice Of
Mr.. MaoFum's complaint and finding
that, rs an incident to the transfer OF
large quantity Of mail from Durham 1.-THE
place where our consular mall was usual
ly landed, to Cape Town resulting In
great congestion and the handling Of
mail By news agents, there had been In
discriminate opening OF letters which
probably had affected the consular mall
with others. Lord Paunctfcte speaking
for his governments disavowed the action
Of the censor and declared that 10 was I'M
authorized In resreot to Mr.. Macrum's
mail. This assurance was given long
ago.

THINK THEY sTRU OK OIL.

men at the Twitonsll. Champlin Co. 3
works were digging ditch 10 lay pipe
to brig water to their factory, one of the
men, In removing dirt at tie bottom of
the ditch, noticed pronounced bub-
bling, and also that the water seemed to
be strongly impregnated with something
that looked liks-oil. 1t caused quite a
motion among the workmsn, and the
interest as to what 1t is still continues.
The ditch was on land OF Ralph e.
DoheIisy, the village postmaster, who
secured samples of the oil and sent ONE

NO MORE BIG MEN.
Maine . Deosdent state According To
Bishop Goldman.

Newcastle, March 2I.-The announce
msnt that Bishop Goldman Of the Maine
Episcopal diocese would speak 81 So.
Andrews church In this village brought
10 the service many members Of the Oon-
eregationalist, Msthodist and Baptist
churches. II Is apparent that Bishop
Codman's late controversy with the
newspapers and recent alleged utterancss
regarding the intslleotual plane Of the
state to which he has besn sent, have az
cited great deal Of curiosity to hear
what he has to say from the pulpit.
10 may perhaps he stated that TO say the
least, the remarks made by the bishop
have furnished food for q vast amount Of
discussion In this place-and the nature
Of them created no little astonishment.
After the bishops earnest denial some
days ago that the newspapers talk attri-
huted TO him In the Roxbury instance
was correct, listeners here perhaps enter
tainsd the Idea that he would remeve the
impression OF antagonism TO Maine iusti-
tutions by telling bis audience how much
they knew and how much superior they
are to all other perEons on earth. But
evidently the bishop is not o 1attersr-
not q man who deals In cajoleries. The
bishop graciousiy admitted In ths course
Of his remarks shat the services Of other
churches were sometimes helpful but he
especially extollsd the prayer book Of the
Episcopal church a. means OF education
and grace Then, greatly to the surprise
OF those who listened, no added that In
the other churches 10 will be found that
extemporansous preaching and prayer
service is often coarse and vulgar. And
yet II seems that the bishop 10 resolving
encouragement from the other erseds for
he stated In his address that CongreEs-
tional clergyman bad said to him that he
was glad to have him, the bishop, come
to Maine as 1t was necessary to have
some one to defend the faith. "It ts high
time" said the bishop, "that the Mother
Church sent some one to Maine to tell
the people how to worship"
Hundreds Of children In Main O." said
he, shave never heard the Command
ments." Most interesting. no viewer, wsrs
his references to the mere ''msn-mads"
laws of the State Of Maine against drink
ing. dancing and gambling, and to the
disobsdisnoe OF the God-made laws
against adultery, etc.
"Mains has sent out many able men,"
said he, "but abe will not do so In an
other generation.
Thsss and other statements BY the new
bishop have supplied the people Of New
castle with topics for lively discussion.

THE DANISH ISLANDS.
No Bill Re lating To Them Will BE In
troduced Into This Parlia ment.

Waship gton, March 27.-The stale de-
pnrtment has not been advised that tbs
Danish government intends 20 Introduce
q bill at present In the Danish parlia-
ment, providing for tho sale to the
United States Of the islands Of st.
Thomas and st. CToix. The opinion pre-
walls that II any such measure 10 intro.
duced to this Congress 1t will be through
the independent aston Of some persons
not directly connected with the govern
meut Of Denmark. The reason for this
belief Is found in the fact that the negoti-
ations that have heen In progress between
the two governments IN rather an indeh-
mite fashion for some Jime past have
not yet reached stage where Legislative
action would seem to be necessary. 1t IL
taid that our government knows Of no
interest superior to its own In connection
with tie transfer to title to these Danish
West Indian islands and even II some
other government has through previous
negotiations secured what 1t regarded as
an option on the islands the same would
be OF no avail as against the pre-eminent
rights Of thu United States should our
government incline to the purchase Of
the islands and the Danish government
be willing to sell at all.
