withdrew his objections and read a
letter from Chairman Wenter, of the
sanitary district of Chicago, stating
that 1t was the conviction of the
board that an impartial investigation

tageous position.

DANISH WEST INDIES.
The State Department VIII Not Re-
sumo Negotiations for Their
Acquisition ut Present.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The depart
ment of state will not take up. at
present. the suggestion that negotia-
tions be resumed with Denmark for
the acquisition of the Danish West
Indies. Talk about negotiations is
said to be premature, warranted only
by the fact that certain business men
ir New York regard as desirable that
Denmark be again approached on the
subiect.
No opportunity will be afforded to
anybody who aspires to carry on ne
gotiations for the purpose of en- Joy
ing commission from the sale.
1t is felt quite safe to leave the is
lands in Denmark's hands, as no for
eign power would undertake to secure
them without the approval OF the
United States. 1t is known that the
islands are burden to Denmark. but
It is also felt that congress would not
Just yet sanction the purchase OF
them.
