Two Important Matters Cause a

CALL BUREAU, 14Oe G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Dif1culty is
being experienced by the United States
in reaching an agreement with Denmark
for the transfer to this Government CT
the Danish West Indies. Secretary Hay
and Minister Brun, Danish Minister, have
been endeavoring to settle two important
points-the price and the relations resi-
dents Of the islands shall bear to this
Government when the sale is made The
report from Copenhagen that an agree
ment has been reached and the price de-
termined upon is untrue. No decision
as to price has been fixed The United
States is willing to pay about SO 1000 900
but no more. The question of the status
of the residents of the islands after
American sovereignty has been extend
ed over the territory is on the eve of
settlement. They will not be admitted
as full-hedged citizens.

W., WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-Senator
Bard and U. S. Grant conferred with
President Roosevelt to-day regarding
Federal offices in California. Their visit
is understood to have special reference TO
the Collectorship Of Internal Revenue for
the First district, now held by ]. C.
Lynch.
The conference was brief and of a gen.
eral character and no decision in the mat
ters under discussion was reached.
1t is understood that the California del

the Presidents action in the matter Of
retaining Lynch or appointing new man
will largely depend upon their recommen-
dation.
Referring to the appointment of Sur

that he would gladly indorse any good
man whom Senator Bard would recon-
mend for the place.

oyercrowded condition Of the court
calendars. Acting always upon the de-
tense, their policy is to delay.
The formation Of trusts has also
affected the status OF attorneys. A few
lawyer. Now, when combined, they
have their business done by one firm.
Probably not more than 10 corpora
tiCn trial lawyers in the city of Chi
cago receive fair salaries. AS a rule
they are underpaid, although men Of
great ability.
The statutes which have brought
about this change in the legal business
are all the creatures of the brains Of
lawyers. These special privileges
given to the trust companies, the alb
stract companies, and the accident in
surance companies have not resulted
in a~~ great benefit to even he few
attorneys employed by the favored cor
pOrations. Competition is so strong
and the corporation so merciless that
in many cases the lawyers who wrote
the special statutes creating these
monopoIies are now out of employ
ment, themselves the victims of their
own ingenious but misguided labors.
The evil has now reached a point
where companies have been organized
that insure merchants against loss of
accounts. This will result in monopo-
lizing the collection business. It will
follow naturally that the bankruptcy
companies of the same kind. Where
the profession will end, in the absence
of drastic remedies none can foresee."
