DENMARK IN A HURRY.
Copenhagen Government Sends
an Agent to Push the Sale
of Islands.

New York, Jan 3.-The World says:
Carl Fischer Hansen, a Danish lawyer
of this city, who has acted for the Co
penha gen government in the negotia-
lions for the sale of the Danish West
India islands to the United States for
$3O00,O00, started for WashingtonNlast
night to confer with President McKin-
ley. He bore important cablegrams
from the Danish government. Mr.
Fischer-Hanser said:
THE recent war gave to America a
coaling station in Porto Rico, making
the Danish West Indies less valuable.
They had been offered to President
Cleveland for $4,000 600.
Although they are not so much need
ed now,it is of prime Importance for the
United States to keep European powers
from acquiring territory in the western
hemisphere, of bringing up the question
of the Monroe doctrine at least
"A syndicate of Berlin and Hamburg
business men secured options last year
on the harbor at st. John and the en-
tire river front This syndicate was
duly incorporated in Germany. It had
been rumored that Germany intended
acquire the Danish West Indies, but
the German ambassador denied it.
Il placed the matter before President
Cleveland during the latter part of his
administration. Both President Cleve-
land and Secretary of State OIney
thought well of it. Senator Lodge be-
came interested. Then occurred the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, which
upset the plans.
1T was taken up again during the
first year of President McKinley's ad-
ministration. President Mckinley, Sec
rotary of State Sherman and several
senators favorably regarded the matter
and it seemed as if something definite
would be accomplished, when the Span
ish-American war broke out.

ADVANCE MADE.
Eastern Roads Raise Freight
Tariffs 25 Percent.

New York, Jan. 3.-Railroads belong
ing to the eastern trunk line pool have
put in active operation the new freight
tariffs, involving an advance of 20 to
% per cent in rates.
Merchants of this city, not discour-
aged by the refusal of Attorney General
Griggs to institute injunction proceed
ings to prevent the Introduction of the
new rates, are determined to continue
their opposition. They Will first apply
to the railroad themselves and try to
get a hearing by the classification COM
mittee, which drew up the higher rates.
They propose to show that the rates
will not only be a serious discrimina-
ton against small shippers, since the
advance on less than carload lots is
greater than on carload lots, but the
new tariff is likely to drive away bust
ness from this port.
Some of the trunk lines have received
complaints from business men in the
interior to the effect that if the new
rates stand they will be compelled to
ship by Baltimore, Charleston, Newport
ports, since the narrow margin on
which they do business will not admit
of any profit whatever under the new
tariff.
If no other plan works it is announced
that the shippers will take steps against
the railroads on the ground that the
new agreement concerning rates is
made by an iron-clad pool, which is in
all respects as much a violation of the
antitrust law as if it were operating
as an association.

LAWTON'S SUCCESSOR.
General Bates Is Slated For the
Vacancy

New York Jan. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
next batch of nominations to be sent to
the senate will include the names of
these three officers, who have rendered
valuable and conspicuous services in
the Philippines: Major General of Vol
unteers Macarthur, lieutenant colonies
and assistant adjutant general to be
brigadier general in the regular army.
Brigadier General of Volunteers S. B.
M. Young, colonel Third cavalry to be
brigadier general in the regular army.
Brigadier General of Volunteers J. c.
Bates, Second infantry, to be major
general of volunteers to succeed the late
General Lawton.
These promotions have just been de-
cided upon by the president, notwith-
standing the great pressure which con-
tinues to be brought to bear upon him
to utilize the existing vacancies in the
grade of brigadier general for the pur-
pose of promoting and retiring, with
increased rank, colonies of the regular
army with civil war records. BY yield
ing to this pressure the promotion of
General LaWtOn was duly delayed and
his death occurred before his appoint
ment could be sent to the senate, al
though it had been decided upon.
The three officers chosen have been in
the Philippines since the beginning of
the war. Generals Young and Mac
Arthur have participated in more en-
gagements than any other general Of
fieerS now in the islands. General Bates
work has been largely of a diplomatic
character. In addition to concluding
the treaty with the sultan of Sulu, he
has had much to do with restoring or
der and inaugurating civil government
in other parts of the archipelago. He
is now military governor OF AIindanao
and the SuIu Islands.

DROPPED DEAD
Just After Completing an Address to
His Lodge.

Chicago Jan. 3.-Ralph Philippson, a
retired wealthy clothing dealer, died
suddenly of heart disease late last night
at the conclusion of an address to the
members of the district grand lodge No.
6, Independent Order B'nai Birth.
During the applause which followed the
close of Philippson's remarks the
speaker suddenly fell forward, grasping
at the air blindly. Before any one could
help him he dropped face downward on
the floor unconscious. A few minutes
later he died without regaining con-
seriousness. Deceased was 81 years old.
The event in which Mr.. Philippison was
participating was the annual election
of officers of the lodge. On the stage
when he spoke were r. Ginsburg, of De-
President Max Asche of Milwaukee.

DOCTORS PROPHECY
About Grape Nuts.

DR.. ]. H. Hanaford, one of the Oldest
physicians in Reading, Mass, says in
the Practical Age: II firmly believe
that Mr. Post has rendered a greater
service to humanity than any other
man living, in the matter of foods.
He claims, with propriety, 1 think
that his new food, Grape-Nuts, made
from the most nourishing elements of
the grains, contains nourishment in one
pound equal to ten of meat, wheat, oats
or bread.
From the acquaintance that I have
had with this unusually nutritious ar
ticle, 1 am satisfied the statement is
truthful and demonstratable. I am in
clined to believe the food will effect
considerable of a revolution in society,
to the extent that it is introduced"
This was written by DR.. Hanaford
several months ago. The rapid spread
of the use of Grape-Nuts all over the
country has demonstrated that the doc
tors prophecy has already come true
to an extent, at least Perhaps never
before in the history of food manufac,
ture has such rapid progress been made
as with Grape-Nuts. 1t especially ap-
peals to brain workers.
All first-class grocers furnish Grape
Nuts. and the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd
Battle Creek, Mich.s are the makers.

Gated on the west side and to reach the

club operating under National agree
ment would be a benefit to both, in
Chicago, just as it would be in Phila.-
delphia. OF course, it is President
Harris prerogative to stand on his
ground and prevent another club from
being located in Chicago that wishes to
operate under the National agreement.
1 do not regard the American leagues
threats of war as serious, but if they
are and a fight is to come the Phila-
delphia club, as a, member of the Ma
tional league will be arrayed against
the new organization, much as 1 should

DID NOT FILIBUSTER.
Charge Against the Steamer Laurada
Not Sustained.

Philadelphia. Jan. 3.-Judge Dallas.
in the United States circuit court of
appeals, today handed down an opinion
affirming the decision of the district
court of Delaware in dismissing the suit
of the United States against the steam
ed Laurada in which the government
sought to have the vessel forfeited and
her owners fined for engaging in al
legged flibustering expeditions during
Cuba's rebellion against Spain The
question passed upon in the lower court
was whether Captain Hughes, who COM
manded the vessel during the winter of
1897, when the alleged expedition is said
to have taken place. had engaged in
fiIibustering act. The lower court dis
missed the libel on the ground that be-
ing used merely as a transport, the YES
sci did not violate the revised stateutes.
After the commencement of this ac-
ton the Laurada was sent around TO

WHO Is TO BLAME?
Question That Is Agitating British
Official Giro es-

London, Jan. 3.-The Morning Lead
er's war expert today says:
"A most distinguished officer, an old
comrade of General Butler, significant
ly said yesterday afternoon, while talk
ing of the latter's position on the Tugela
river:
Heavy accounts are generally set
tied on the fourth of the month, I be-
lieve,' and not a word more on that sub
ject could be extracted from him"
The Morning Posts military expert
says:
Lord Ernest Hamilton in a letter to
the editor of the Post describes these
articles as crusade against the civil
side of the war office. This is not ac-
curate. No such charges have been
brought against any one. The unfor-
tunate course of the war has been at
tributed to want of foresight and of
preparation and the entire cabinet held
officers the only comment has been to
protest against an attempt to blame
the intelligence division
Lord Ernest Hamilton, however,
brings definite charges against those in
high military places of whom he says
that they have shown themselves I'M
equal to their work.
He suggests that British generals do
not know their business and that the
commander-in-chief (Lord WOlseley)
was by his own admission insufficient
ly informed as to the Boer forces All
these charges may be true and it will
perhaps be necessary to discuss them
in the future
The Daily Mail today says:
Lord Wolseley's unusual silence i'm
plies that he would be the last person
to court any kind of an inquiry on the
vital question whether he is responsible
for the many blunders that have made
us the laughing stock of the world The
inquiry is one that he will strictly
avoid

in the Franklin circuit court by Attor-

illegally appointed the other two com
missioners to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Joudge Pryor and
Captain W. E. Ellis.
