NO INDIVIDUAL RECOGNIZED.
In Connection with Proposed Danish
West Indies Deal.

Washington, May 1.-The state depart
ment authorizes the declera ton that 1t
has never recognized any individual in
connection with the proposed acquisition
by the United States of the islands of the
Danish West Indies; that it has no knowl-
edge that any private person has ever in
terposed in the negotiations on that sub
ject, and finally that the negotiations have
never been influenced directly or Indirect
ly by unofficial persons.
This statement is called forth by the
publication of the details of what is rep
resented to be an attempt on the part of
persons connected with the Standard OH
Company to force the Danish government
to pay them a commission on the sale of
the islands TO the United States govern
ment. The Secretary of State does not
know Rogers, one of the persons named,
and represented to be connected with the
Standard OIL Company, who initiated an
attempt to intervene for the commission.
The state department says that Score
tary Hay, acting upon the intimation that
the Danish government might be thinking
of selling, sent instructions TO Mr.. White
the United States secretary of embassy
at London to go to Copenhagen and in
vestgate. Mr. White performed his task
with ability and his report to the state
department is all that there is on file re-
specting the Danish Islands of recent date.
or, in fact. within the past five years.
The report was communicated in sub
stance to the members of the Senate Com
mttee on Foreign Relations, as well as to
leading members of the administrator
party in the House Of Representatives, and
IL is supposed that 1t contained a state
ment Of the terms upon which the Danish
government was willing to make the sale.
1t makes plain the fact that the negota-
tons were conducted exclusively between
Mr.. White and the Danish government Of
ficlals. It is said that It does not disclose
a purpose on the part of the Danish gov
eminent to sell the islands to any other
Power than the United States, so that en-
objection to such sale would be purely
hypcs hetical at this time

MORE RAILROAD MEN GO OUT
New York Central Trouble Has Not
Yet Been Settled.

Buffalo, N. Y, May Approximately
200 more car repairers have Joined the
strike which was begun by the men of
qhat craft employed by the New York
Central Railroad.
The much deferred ultimatum stands
over until tomorrow, when Supt. Wait
III the motive power department of the
railroad, is expected to confer with the
strikers.
To-day $50 Lackawanna and $50 Nickel
Plate shop men struck, but this is not
technically regarded as an aggressive ex-
tension of the strike, according to labor
e thics, but a logical sequence to a de
lnand that they repair crippled cars of
the New York Central. OF course these
men struck by an official order of their
treaniza ton.
II did not appear to be the policy of
lhe Executive Committee tonight to ex-
tend the strike until after to-morrow's
conference.
Nearly one-half of the Buffalo police
force is now on patrol duty in the strike
district, but there have been no disturb
unces.
The railway freight handlers who went
out last night have been recruiting unor-
Eanized laborers and to-day and claim
great success.

Alaskan Telegraph Lines.
Mr.. Lodge offered the following amend
ment:
For the purpose of establishing mill
tary, telegraph and cable lines I'm Alas
ka, $50,550. Provided, further, that no
telegraph or cable lines owned wholly or
in part or operated or controlled by per-
sons not citizens of the United States, or
by any foreign corporation, shall be es-
tablished In or permitted to enter Alas
ka."
Mr.. Lodge said his amendment did rot
bind the government 10 any route, but
left the subject open to be adjusted in con
ference. He said It was important that
the United States should control the tele .
graph lnes'in Alaska and It was import
ant, to- that cable lines entering Alaska
should be under the control of the Amer
lean government. The idea Of his propo-
sition was to prevent any foreign govern
ment or corporation from entering Alaska
with either telegraph or cable lines. He
adVerted to the fact that a Canadian COM
pany was now constructing a telegraph
line with the idea of crossing Alaska anil
laying a cable from the Alaskan co.'s
across the Northern Pacific ocean TO
China. This company mad a subsidy OF
$3.50 900 a year. IL ought not to be per-
mitted TO land It's cable on the Alaskan
coast The American government. he
thought, ought 20 control the cable lines Of
the Pacific.
Mr. Carter said the whole matter had
been thoroughly discussed in the commit
tee and he could see no reason why any
number of cable lines should not be con-
structed across the Pacific.
Mr. Lodges amendment was agreed 10.
