Meanwhile fully 1000 citizens of ad-

authorities here that they are ready

temper shown here is at the boiling
point, the defiant attitude of the an
archist colony serving to increase the
general anger.
John Cabilli, editor of L'Aurore, has
been in hiding ever since a recent
mass meeting gave evidence of a de-
side to demolish his publication and
adorn him with a coat of tar and
feathers.
Today a committee will wait upon

step is taken it will mean that one or

FELL FROM WINDOW.
Columbia Professor Accidentally
Killed at His Home.

New York, Nov. 11.-Richard M.
Smith, a professor of political economy
at Columbia University, was killed to-
night by falling from a window of his
study on the fourth floor of his resi-
dence on West Seventy street
to the stone tagging in the rear. So
far as the police have investigated
the case. they conclude that the fall
was accidental.
Prof. Smith, a short time ago, began
the years vacation which Columbia
gives to members of the faculty after
they have served seven years. He had
been i'll for few months, but not sick
enough to cause the family any alarm.
This evening he told his wife, who was
in the study with him, that he
felt tired and would lie down for a
short time. She left him. Very soon
after the butler. in passing the study
door, saw the form of a man going out
of the window. He thought it was
burglar and ran down stairs to inform
Mrs. Smith. Something made the wife
think it might be her husband, and
on running out to the rear yard she
saw the body of the professor ply
sician who was called said death must
have been instantaneous. Prof. Smith
was AZ years of age, and was born in
Ohio. Besides his wife he leaves four
children. He had been a professor of
political economy at Columbia since
1888. He was the author of a number
of economic works.

DANISH TREATY DELAYED.

structs Negotiations for Islands.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE projected
treaty of cession of the Danish West
Indies to the United States is not SO
we'll advanced as it was hoped would
be the case at this time. 1t is now
doubtful whether the treaty will be
completed in time to submit to Con-
gress when it reassembles next month.
The delay appears to have arisen
through the change in the ministry at
, Copenhagen. The State Department
had reached an agreement with the
Danish government on the treaty: in
fact all questions of large principle
had been adjusted when the entry into
power of a new ministry, not well dis
posed toward the treaty, made it neces
sary to begin the work all. over again.
While negotiations are proceeding.
they have not reached a point yet
where it can be predicted certainly
that a treaty will result The issues
do not touch the price to be paid so
much as the conditions, as to the fu-
ture of citizens of Danish West Indies,
sought to be imposed by Denmark.
The United States desires a simple
treaty, and one that will leave it at
perfect liberty to deal with the islands
in the future without any restrictions
imposed by treaty.
