WANTS THE ISLANDS.
Uncle Sam to Reopen Negotiations
With Denmark.

WASHINGTON May 2O.-One of the
most important results of the exposure
and suppression of the schemes for the
purchase of the Danish West Indies
through private persons or syndicates,
is that the United States will shortly
make to Denmark a proposition for the
purchase of the islands, the negotia-
tions to be solely between Secretary
Hay and the Danish Minister of Foreign
Affairs
1t was ascertained from official sour
ces today that the United States will
take the initiative on the suggestion Of
King Christian of Denmark and will
endeavor to have an appropriation at
this session of Congress for the pur-
chase.
Another important development of
the recent transactions is that it has
been demonstrated to the King of Den
mark that he was the victim of conspir-
ators acting in concert in this country
and Denmark desiring to utilize the sale
for private gain.

said to have failed TO pass the recent ex-
animation for promotion, which leaves
only one candidate. A. s. Downey. 1t was
supposed that there was no eligible list for
this place. but II seems that Mr.. Downey.
who has passed the examination for as
sistant supervising engineer, is also eligi-
BILE TO the other place.
As soon as Mr. Cotterill resigns and Mr..
Thomson asks the civil service commits
sion for the list OF those eligible to the po-
sition, II Is understood that the name OF
Mr. Downey will be the only one availa-
BILE The latter is a graduate OF Cornell
