Danish West Indies Become . S.
Property.
lHE SALE WAS OPPOSED
TIE Royalty and Newspapers All OPP.
Eo-e the Transaction-Deal Credited
to the Diplomacy of Minister L. S.
Swenson.

Copenhagen, Fec. ga full agree
ment has been reached between Den
mark and the United States for the
sale of the Danish West Indies. The
treaty will probably be signed this
week at Washington. The price fixed
Is between $4,000 900 and $5,OOO,OOO.
The questions of free trade and citi-
zenship will be decided by congress,
which, it is believed here, will grant
these concessions.
The negotiations have, from the
first, aroused the keenest interest
throughout Denmark. The newspapers
have all been against the sale, eltper
By a silence or open opposition. Peti-
tons have also been received by the
king and ministry from the lnhap-
itants of the island. The king and the
roy al family were at heart opposed 10
parting with the possessions, ana the
leading imperial and royal houses Oh
Europe, to which the king OF Denmalh
NJ related, all exerted personal and
political influence against their trans
fer to the United States. III is there
fore considered a great triumph Ior
the diplomacy of the United states
and incidentally for the tact and perse-
yerance of the United States minister
here, l.. S. Swenson whose high stand
ing at court largely contributed TO the
result.
Washington, Dec. Sup to the
close OF business hours yesterday no
word had reached the state depart
ment confirmatory of the reported
agreement between Denmark and the
United States for the sale of the
Danish West Indies The negotiations
looking TO the acquisition of the isl
ands by this government are believed
however. to be in such a state that an
agreement between the interested par
ties, if not already reached, is almost
approaching completion.

Adrian, Mich, Dec. 4.-Yesterday
was the second day of the inquest into
the causes of the disastrous wreck on
the Wabash last Wednesday night
The last shadow of doubt as to the
responsibility Of the disaster has been
removed so far as those in attendance
are concerned, and there is very little
hesitation in predicting the result Of
the jurys verdict. The testimony was
finished late in the afternoon and the
jury retired. They remaiAed out for
over two hours, wnen they ended their
deliberations and went to their homes
Engineer Strong of train No. admit
ted that the conductor of his train
handed him the order, but said that
the wind was blowing at such a rate
that he supposes it wrinkled the cor
ner on which Seneca was written so
that he did not see it, supposing there
fore that the meeting was to take
place at Sand Creek, thus settling the
question as to the blame for the
wreck. Other testimony of minor i'm
portance took up the day.
