States minister, MT. L. S. Swenson, has in- formed the Danish government that the United States offers 12,O0O,0 900 kroner for the Danish Antilles and will not give more.
 Washington December 29.-The negotia- tions between the government of the United States and the government of Denmark have been in progress, though intermittent ly for the past two years In the early stage of the preliminaries the more prom inently interested were the minister of Dem mark, Constantin Bruen, and one Captain Christmas Dirfeldt But while their efforts laid the foundation for what after mature consideration, the State Department de- cided that MT. Swenson, the United States minister to Denmark, was the best person to deal with the case in the interest of this country Therefore he was given full in- structions and some degree of authority. He had nearly succeeded in his object last spring when through an internal change in Denmark, the minister of foreign affairs was displaced
 The new minister was opposed to the transfer of the islands to the United States, and wave of patriotic feeling swept over the country, before which tine government was obliged to yield, and the negotiations were suspended for time Now a change
 
 mark, and the present minister of foreign affairs has, 1t is said here, reluctantly come to the conclusion that for financial reasons, it is scarcely possible to hold on to t1ne islands. Their commercial value has of recent date depreciated, attributed to a falling off in their export trade and the Danish government Is obliged to make good a considerable deficit on their account.
 The sum named in the Copenhagen dis patch as offered by Minister Swenson, 12,- 000,0O0 kroner, as the price to be padd for the islands, is roughly estimated at $3240,- 900.

PRESIDENT WON'T INTERFERE
Cabinet Makes Decision in Regard to
 Kentucky Affair

Washington, February 2.-Neariy the en- tire time of the cabinet meeting today was taken up in discussion of the situation in Kentucky, and the rights and duties of the president herewith. Almost immediate ly upon the receipt of Governor Taylor message last night, the president took up the question and consulted authorities on points with which he was not familiar. A decision was reached at once, and when Senator-eleot Blackburn, with Representa- tives Rhea, Allen. Gilbert, Smith and against federal interference in Kentucky, the president promptly gave them to un- derstand that he had already reached a conclusion on the subject, and that he had found that the situation did not warrant the federal authorities in interfering.
 This decision was announced to the cabi- net immediately upon its converting. Att torney General Griggs, Secretary Root and the other lawyers of the cabinet sustained the president s conclusions. The law which must govern in this case authorizes federal action only when the legislature is not in session and cannot be convened
 Governor Taylors message does not in- innate that the legislature of the state can not be promptly convened nor does he show that the conditions in Frankfort are such as would justify federal intervention
 The president and members of his cabinet without exception recognize the fact that the legislature of the state of Kentucky by a majority thereof is the sole judge of which of the two contestants was elected governor of the state at the recent cleo ton.

Military Men Landing

London, February 3.-The correspondent of the Times at Lourenzo Marquez, teie- graphing yesterday, says: t
 Crowds of military looking men are still landing here. These include a number of smart men, evidently officers.
 President Steyn, addressing the burgh- CTS in Natal, accused Great Britain of CO., ercing the Boers into war. He said that England had already drunk deeply of Boer blood, but was still unsatisfied. Had, not Sir Alfred Milner, he asked, said that the Afrikanders must be annihilated?
 This is the grand, final object of the war; he exclaimed; but God will never permit the subjection of the Afrdkanders Let not the burghers initiate the barbar- ians, hike footing of which the enemy are guilty, but let them strusgfe ss Chris tianS.' "

\ Runaway Girl

One of the big musical successes of last season was "A Runaway Girl," which was given its American premiere at Daly's theater, New York city, by Augustin Daly's Musical company, and although the night
 was a terrfically hot one-August 25-the house was crowded to the doors, and in spite of this trying and annoying handicap, the performance went with such dash and spirit. and every pretty song was encored and re-demanded that the audience "guess- ed right the very first time'' in predicting that MT. Daily and his talented singers and comedians would carry this farrago of tuneful fun and frolic into the good graces of all sorts and conditions of theater-goers The critics too, of the metropolis recorded a success, but they, as we'll as Mr. Daily himself, at the time scarcely counted on Metropolitan run of over five months, which extended almost through February, as well as vogue for the delightful melo- dies of the score that would place them on the list of every dance give them promf- nence at basd concerts, hear them played and sung in parIor and drawing room, and even send them into the public schools to sing at the scholars exhibitions The scenery and costumes of "A Runaway Girl' are said to be marvels of taste and ele- gance, and in thorough keeping with MT. Daly's splendid reputation as one of the best dramatic producers of the age. "A Runaway Girl" with its matchlessN east of principals and grand chorus of fifty voices, together with the other members of Mr. Dalys splendid musical company, will be presented in this city for the first time at O'Briens opera house on Monday.

SNOWSLIDE DANGERS.

The nature of this snowfall makes
srowslides inevitable. The weight, the
packing of the drifts, the tendency 10
roll or slide and gather bulk and
weight with every little jar or start
may serve as a warning to all who go
into the mountains. A young man
was killed in a side at Paradise in
Cache county the other day. Every
winter we hear Of such casualties,
There would have been more reported
during the past winter perhaps, but
for the scarcity of snow.
When the SHOWS pile up as they have
been doing foe the past few days. until
the mass is stronger than its founda-
tions. it needs only a jar, the tread OF
a. coyote. the breaking of a stone To
set in motion an engine of destruction
that nothing can stop until it carries
all beneath and before it into the
gulch below.
Men are not as careful as they should
be in camping among the mountains.
Cabins should not be built beneath
hnlsides that catch snow and offer no
resistance to the slides. There are a
great many miners and wood haulers
whose lives have been spent in the
canyons and they are reckless Of the
hidden dangers. 1t may be if they put
iii their time thinking about how to
avoid getting killed they would keep
out of the mountains altogether. But
sooner or later the snowslide claims its
victim and recBlessness receives its
reward.
