taken for some one else.

Applications for Exchange of Bonds
and to Organize Banks.
Treasury officials are overrun with extra
work as a result of the passage of the
financial bill. Applications for exchange
of bonds for the new per cents are coming
in rapidly. Since Wednesday the applica-
tions reach from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, coo.
Nearly all of the applications are from ma
uona1 banks, which find a profit in the eX-
change. Private holders, however, are not
in a hurry about an exchange. Many peo-
PIE persist in asking the question whether
they are compelled to exchange their
bonds whether they desire to do so or not
The law does not compel an exchange, and
holders OF old bonds can keep them as lorg
as they desire.
In the currency division of the treasury
the banks are fast making application for
the additional 10 per cent circulation pro-
vided by the new law. There Is likewise a
rush of applicants for permission to or
ganize nationa; banks in small towns with
a capital of $4,000 or more. Controller

1t is Believed Our Onsr for Danfsh
West Indies Will Finally BE Accepted.
1t is learned that,the purpose of the gov
ernment to acquire the island of ST. Thomas
for reasonable consideration from Den
mark has not been abandoned, owing to the
statements attributed to the Danish min
lister, indicating decision not to part with
the island. While it is not contemplated
that any pressure should be brought to bear
upon Denmark on this matter, it Is still
believed that the last announcement in the
case is perhaps only an evidence Of pur-
pose on the part Of the Danish authorities
to secure higher price for the island than
the United States had regarded as proper
1t is probable that no active effort will be
made by our government to hasten the
ne gotiations on this subject, but, having
learned that the: finances of the island
showed deficit last year Of $75, 900. in spite
of the most rigid economy in the adminis-
tration. a sum charged up against the home
government, it is believed that our terms
will ultimately be accepted. if reduced to a
concrete proposition to pay s, 1909, 900 for ST.

PRICE OF ARMOR PLATE,
Naval Affairs Committee Fixes 1t at
$545 Tor.

Representative Wheeler of Kentucky a
member of the House naval affairs commit
tee, says that the decision of the House
naval affairs committee yesterday fixing the
price of armor plate at $545 a ton was
much more far-reaching than was an
nounced at that time. Yesterday state
ment was authorized to the effect that this
price was fixed for only what is known as
the emergency armor for the battle ships
Maine, Ohio and Missouri, which are now
building. On account of the threatened
suits for damages resulting from the fail
ure of the government to provide the ar
NOR for these vessels, because the armor-
plate concerns refused to furnish 1t at the
authorized price, the committee were unani-
nously in favor of acceding to the de-
mands of the armor plate factories so far
as the armor for those ships was con-
cerned
But the action of the committee yester-
day, according to Mr.. Wheeler, went fur
ther and authorized contracts for the ar
NOR for all the ships heretofore authorized
and to be authorized in the present bill at
S545. This action was taken, he says, after
a specific proposition to limit armor plate
at that price to the emergency armor"
had been voted down. Mr.. Wheeler says
that all the members of the minority voted
against the proposition. to authorize armor
at that price for other ships. He announces
that the fight will be carried on to the floor
"f the House.

these officers are Admiral Dewey, Capt.

Capt. Charles H. Stockton. The remaining
five members Of the board have not yet

naval circles that the number will include
Rear Admiral Sampson, commandant OF
the Boston navy yard: Rear Admiral
Barker, commandan1 of the Norfolk navy
yard; Capt. r. D. Evans of the board of

There are several vessels laden with coal

of the Pacific fleet. The coal will be trans
ferred from vessel to vessel in the harbor,
SO that there will be no necessity for COM

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
WOOdruF's Candidacy Not Popular
With National Leaders.


The continued New York booming Of
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff for the re-
publican vice presidential nomination has
lent no enthusiasm to his candidacy among
national leaders here, it is asserted by sew
eral prominent enough to know the general
feeling. One of these, a man of undoubted
position in his party, said a few days ago
that he didn't believe there was any proba-
blity that Mr.. Woodruff would be nomi-
mated. For our vice presidential nominee
we want man big enough to be President
in case Of anything happening to the chief
executive" was what he said. He did not
believe, he said that Mr.. Woodruff was big
enough to measure UP to these limits. The
New Yorker is too young and too ineXperi-
enced, he declared, for the position, al
though he is growing in craftsmanship and
popularity each day.
The same man believes that a New
Yorker will be nominated. but is of the
opinion that the nominee will be either
Secretary Root or ex-Secretary Bliss.
Either OF these is big enough in fact and in
name to lend strength to the republican
ticket, he says. Both of them have de-
clared that they will not be candidates, but
1t is said on excellent authority that neither
would refuse the nomiuation. The greatest
trouble will be in giving the place to some
other New Yorker if Woodruff goes to the
Philadelphia convention with the delegates
of the state pledged to him.

LONDON, March 16.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing
Wednesday, says:
Mr.. Reitz's statement has been publish
ed throughout the republic, but will not be
forwarded to Lord Salisbury.
conversations I have had with the high
est state officers show that the republic
was prepared to grant substantial reforms
and concessions, until the receipt of Lord
Salisbury's telegram. AS one of the high
est statesmen remarked, Better half an
egg than none, but better none than a rot
ten egg"
Following is Mr. Reitz's statement:
THE British government, after the
Bloemfontein conference, endeavored to en-
force by threats certain changes irS-the in
ternal government of the Transvaal Repub-
lie. contrary to the London convention.
They also imported troops in great num-
bers. and broke off negotiations with
threat to take their own means to remove
the grievances of their subjects.
After waiting fortnight while an army
corps was prepared and the reserves were
being called out by the British, President
Steyn asked the reason of these proceed
ings. Sir Alfred Milner refused to reply.
Meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain, in his
speeches. showed the world that England
had decided on war. Accordingly the
Transvaal Republic addressed to the Brit
ish government a demand for the with
drawal of their troops. as otherwise 1t
would accept the presence of the troops as
declaration Of war. That was not neces-
sarily intended as message of war
Concerning the ornaments, Mr.. Reitz
says:
These were bought openly in England
and in Europe. and the high commissioner
boasted full knowledge of them at the
Bloemfontein conference, and also full de-
scriptions of these ornaments were found
among the officers papers at Dundee.
Both the army and the ultimatum were
protective measures, subss quent to the raid
and to the discovery, through concealed
cables, that British cabinet ministers were
implicated in the attempt to filch away the
independence of the republics. Now all
doubt is removed by Lord Salisbury's tele-
gram. The burghers must fight for their
national existence. trusting that God will
defend the right"
