Will Come Before Congress at
 the Next Session.
No Recent Development ts in the Nego- tiations with Denmark-The In- terest of the United States in the Purchase.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Tt is possible that the question of the requirement of the Danish West Indies by the United States may be presented for the consid- erajtion of congress at its coming ses- sion. Last winter the Danish govern ment offered to sell the islands to the United States for the sum of S3.0oO. 900, and it is understood that at that time Germany was negotiating for the pur- chase of the islands. A discussion of the matter in the newspapers brought forth the announcement that Germany had dropped all negotiations in the matter out of deference ito the wishes of the United States, which country would have considered tfe occupation of the islands by any European power as an infringement of tho Monroe doc urine. Although the requirement of tine Danish islands is still a subject Ot negotiations between the United States and Denmark there have been no de- veIcpments in the matter for several
 months past, and it iS said that their acquirement by this government is no ,rarer C4onsummation now than It was last winter.
 c,Tbs islands; in question are tho St. Croix, St. Thomas and SS. John. three small islands off the eastern coast of Porto Rico. They have ceased to be ot any value to Denmark, and, indeld, have become. an actual source of eN- pense to her since their sugar has been excluded from the United States mar fyet; St. Thomas has ceased to be, as i'1 us,-d, a port for the trans-S.hirment or cargoe5 fuom larger vessels to smaIler vessels bound to smaller ports.
 Two previous attempts have been ma 1e to fndluce the United States to purchl,se the islands. Secretary Se- ward, in 1865. made negotiations wdh Denmark to buy them, but the treaty was rcpudiaHad by the senate. In lS9Z and again just before the war with Sp9in. steps were taken in the same direction. but nothing was accom- p,iJhed.
 The. islands. 1t is claimed, have a two frld value for the United States. 'lihe 1,,gs. sei,rn G,f them by the United s.tates would prevent thgir falling into the hands of any European power, and iii would also provide the United states with the only available harbor ln the IVes, Indies sIrbtruble for a coaling and naval station for large ships IF slil 1y,,a,ahers. It is thought that the pest harbors of Porto Rico would require the use of coliiers.

AFTER THE HEBREW VOTE.

Following upon the heels of this at tempt to prejudice the labor vote, there has been an attempt to make tHa Ha- brew voters believe that the republican, party in Illinois is making an ant4-Jew- ish campaign against Alschuler. Cir cular letters, written upon Democratic national committee stationery, have been mailed into every locality having l considerable Hebrew vote. They have been accompanied by a letter signed by Chicago democratic Hebrew named Mos :. pleading with his countrymen to vote against Mckinley as a rebuke to the methods employed by the Illinois republicans. Mir. Moss incloses with his letter clippings from the La Sale county Herald, a German weekly, in which Alschuler is attacked because he is d Jew. Because the Herald is sup porting Mckinley. the democratic com mittee tries to create the impression that the republican party is responsible for its insane tItter2nces and indorses them.
 Chairman Hanna and Secretary Heath have had letters and telegrams from prominent Hebrew republicans, and from business men and politicians
  Kansas Nebraska, Missouri, New York; Massachusetts, and other states, asking if the democratic circulars speak the truth. In each instance let ters and tclegrams have been sent out from headquarters denying that the republicans have anything to do with the La Sale county Herald in any way or can tontrol it's utterances, and add ing that they do not indorse the kind of q campaign which the Herald is making against MT. Alschuler.
 AN IRRESPONSIBLE FANATIC.
 The Herald is edited by a German named Carl SwaHzig, who, until this campaign, was a democrat. He could not stand Bryan's auti-imperialsu, and so came over to Mckinley At the time of the Haymarket riots Swanzig was rabid anarchist. For months he has been waSing bitter personal cam paign against MT Alschuler who is one of the most decent and competent men brought forward for office by the Hi noia democrats for years. SwanziG s only grievance is the fact that AIschu- Ter is a Jew. The republican state com- mittee is as pewerless to control Swan zig as Alschuler himself. Nobody in this state pays any attention to him.
 And yet the democratic national committee. feeling that SwanZiS's ut terances may be turned to use in states where he is not known. have issued these circulars. It is full and suffici- ent answer to them to say that they are not being circulated in Illinois. Senator Jones knows better than to dis tribute them in this state where Yates. the republican candidate for governor. is too broad-minded to attack his op- ponent upon the ground of race or re- ligion.

DEVELOPED STEEL INDUSTRY.
One Effect of the Growth of the
 Navy.

Washington Nov. 2.-There has been considerable comment in naval and
 business circles over the statements
 made by Rear Admiral HichbOn in his annual report as to the beneficial effect the development of the navy has had upon certain industries of the country. The chief construed ex- perience5 are so closely bound up with naval development that it is not thought anliss that he enlarged some what upon the industr rial effect of a de velopmeut from the obsolete navy of fifteen years ago to the something more than a nucleus of d fleet which We pos sess today.
 It is WI known that at the time it was first proposed to aittempt to mod ernizc the navy many men prominent in that service Were of the opinion tlIat the proper course to pursue was t1 go abroad and have the ships constructed. The designs for the earliest ships were actually purchased in Europe and the state of the industries upon which steel shipbuilders must depend was such that the possibility of producing eff cient ships within the country seemed small. Ina hks to the skill and per eeVe rance of Admiral Hichborn and his; associates, dhe work of construction was undertaken in this country and the struggle which the steel makers under went in producing what was then called navy steel, the requirements for which at the time Were felt to be al most unnecessarily severe, had the ef- feet of d5 monstra.ting the pIacticabiHty of the establishment of the industry on the highest standard. The require meT,s Of the navy have since that time bacn enough in advance to force i'm

ONE WEAK SPOT.

The only doubtful matter in Illinois is the head of the state ticket. Richard Yates, candidate for governor on the republican side, is not as strong and furcefu as Samuel AlschUlcr, nomin- atcd by the democrats. Alschuler has personal popularity and business and professional prestige in his favor, and if not elected, will run far ahead uf the other candidates upon the democratic ticket. He is probably 25.00O votes stronger in the state than Bryan.
 It is this personal strength of Alschu- Ter that has led Senator Jones, chair man of the democratic national com mittee to attempt it's misuse in the presidential campaign.
 A most prominent feature of Senator Hanna's campaign speeches has been the assertion that the democratic party is trying to array class against class by an appeal tO race prejudices. Mr. Hanna talked more of this during his campaign through Minnesota. South Dakota and Nebraska than he did of all other subjects put together. Hardly had he returned to Chicago before the democratic campaign managers be- stirred themselves to give him proof right here that what he had been saw ing was true.
 They caused to be printed in their
