DANISH WEST INDIES.
Germany May Prevent This Country
From Possessing Them.

1t was said at the State Department
yesterday that the resignation of the DAN
ish Cabiaet was not due to the negotla-
lions between the Danish Government and
this country for the sale of the Danish
West Indies. but was probably due to a
question of taxation which has been under
discussion in Denmark
The State Department declines to state
what If any effect the resignation OF the
Danish Cabinet Will have on the negota-
lions for the islands, but it is generally
believed that they will not be secured by
this country. II is rumored that the Dan
ish Government has entered into a con-
tract with Germany giving that country
q long lease on the islands. and that the
German flag Will soon be raised over St
Jvhn and ST. Thomas and that the United
States will not be able to get control of
them because of this lease
The State Department officials say that
they do not believe that Germany will OBJ
tain control of the islands and that the
United States has as much chance as ever
of possessing them

of city officials who would prepare and
SEMI to the State Legislature bill pro-
hibiting the use of lantern or light of
any kind on a bicycle? This was done
twc weeks ago and the bill is still before
the solons Of the Bay State. This re-
markable document reads in this style:
No person riding a bicycle. tricycle.. or
other similar machine shall display while
in motion a lighted lantern. lamp. or other
light in any highway or public place. The
reason given for the need of such law
was that the lamp was a source of danger
ms stead of safety. and that the glare of the
light hid completely the rider behind it,
so the puzzled pedestrian or driver of a
vehicle could not tell what the danger
was nor whittier it was tending. This has
been done in all seriousness and is not a
joke; therefore | regard it as one of the

LONDON, March 24.-This has been 4
week OF calm. The ministry having pledged
themselves against the continued indie
pendence of the Boer Republics, and ever
the most sensational of journals having
abandoned the alarms of foreign interven
ton, there is little left TO discuss but the
betise of Lord Methuen as now partly ex-
posed in his own dispatches and the ques-
ton what should be done with those Dutch
of the Cape Colony who have been caught
in active revolt against the Queen.
The Methuen discussion is severely
frowned down by the War Office, and one
hears of great activity among ladies OF
high society to burke enquiry; but the
Scotch are indignant TO a man over Lord
Methuen's treatment of their beloved
Highland warrior, General Wauchope, and
will not rest till they know how far his
death was due TO General Methuen's con
duct OF the campaign.
There are also Lord Methuen's treatment
of Colonies Cough and Paget, and his own
belated account of the Magersfontein dis
sster. for full explanation of all of which
the public shows keen anxiety. The nation
is being made TO pay stiffiy for its army,
and it demands now, more than ever, eff
cient. level-nesded, and humane generals.
The question how 10 deal with the rebels
is evidently burning one at the Cape.
and, under pressure from the Cape Col
onists, the ministry here are being ur-
gently pressed to declare their policy Pres
ident Kruger IL will be remembered. re-
Gently made the exemption of those rebels
from punishment one essential condition
of peace. and it is significant that Winston
Spencer Churchill. writing In the Morning
Post" warns the ministry, from Cape
Town, that for one surrendered rebel
handcuffed and Jailed, ten desperate men
will resolve to fight to the bitter end
with the Beers"
On the other hand a section OF the min
isterialists in the House of Commons,
stimulated by Ruyard KipliDg's violent
diatribe in the Times" on THE Sin OF
Witcheraft," are presenting round
robin" to the Government demanding the
prompt and effective punishment OF rebels,
in justice to the loyalists whose property
these allies Of the Beers are said 10 have
looted.
Both those who clamor for severity and
those who clamor for lenity declare that
the future peace OF South Africa depends
upon decision in their favor. The Gov
eminent halts between these two opinions.
Meanwhile the rebels are said TO be fast
surrendsring under Lord Kitchener's iron
rule. and TO be returning unframed TO
their farms. Thus, probably, will the ques-
tion die down. for the English Ministry
generally prefers the line OF least resist
ance. and many here fear that TO punish
rebels by DISTINGUISHING them would bear

Minister'S journalistic Effort.
LONDON, March 24.-Rey. DR.. Sheldon's

cradle amused interest in England. The
