Wish To Remain Danes.
Club Members Of Saint Thomas
Protest Against Sale Of the
Island

The Dan, the most exclusive club of st
Thomas, has addressed q petition to Kins
Christian of Denmark formally protesting
against the sale of the Danish West Indies
to the United States. A similar petition
has also been forwarded by the club to the
Danish risdag. The document sets firth
that the impression prevailing in the q nited
States and in certain circles in Denmark
that che people of the Danish West Iodies
are anxious for the transfer of the island to
the United States is false one, as almost
to man they oppose it.
fslt is the earnest hope of every citizen
Of these islands," says the petition, "that
they remain for many years under the
sceptre of your Majesty and Danes for ever
and ever. We are tired of begging for
what is nothing but onr right; and we
denounce as outrageous the long suspense
of these years-three years Of torture, dur.
ing which our souls hsve been battered
about as if they were merchandise, when
our only crime is that we wish to remain
Danes.n
The petition shows . decidedly hostile
spirit toward the United States. 1t says
that we have no commercial contact with
The islands and that our " INTEREST," seems
10 be to make trouble. Then it goes on:
GA syndicate Of American capitalists is
buying up all the plantations, having
already secured half Of them, and making
empting offers for the rest with q view to
'reating monopoly in sugar and ckeckmate
ne suspected hostility Of the population to
he nefarious deal.n
The petitioners express the hope that
Germany, which has got bill or two to
ettle with the United States already - !
vill prevent the sale ct the last moment.

The Sentiments Of the Kaiser May
Prove To Be Merely Platonic.

N@r-t-EeNt
New York, December 7sb,-The
London "Times" and other British
periodicals, responding to the spirit
of Emperor Williams no:e, have
applauded his conduct and consider
it as compensation for the anti
British attitude assumed by the
German people.
In addition, almost the whole
British press urges the Government
to issue a vigorous protest against
the liberty enjoyed by the German
people to hold meetings in favor of
the Beers and to raise popular subs
for assisting in the cam
paign they are carrying on, while
on the other hand the sentiments of
their Monarch are friendly.

1t all sounded large and liberal, and
Folsom, whose lot for years had been
cast with somewhat threadbarc ar

impecunious but honest, wondered
what manner Of martial man this

of his wealth and influence, but Inn
pressed in some ponderous way his

ever since that run to Warriors Gap,
change had come over Burleigh. He
talked more of mines and money and
showed less. and now, only yesterday.
when the old mans heart had mel
lowed TO him because he had first held
him wholly to blame for Deans ar
rest and later found him pleading for
the young fellows release, strange
thing had happened. Burleigh con.
fided to him that he had,a simply fab
ulons opportunity-a chance TO buy
out a mine that experts secretly told
him was what years later he would
have called ''bonanza," but that in
the late sixties was locally known
as a shanghai" Twenty-Five thou
sand dollars would do the trick, but
his money was tied up. Would. Fol-
som go in with him, put up twelve
thousand five hundred. and Burleigh
would do the rest? Folsom had been
bitten by two mines that yielded only
rattlesnakes, and he couldn't be
lured. Thei,. said Burleigh, wouldn't
Folsom go on his note, so that he
could borrow at the bank? Folsom
seldom went on anybody's note. IL
was as bad as mining. He begged Off,

sat young officer of the infantry who,
vastly rejoicing that Dean could not go,
had lapghingly possessed himself OF
the vacant place, and to him Miss Fol

their escorts at the gate and hastened
within doors. Just as Elinor expected,
