ALMOST READY
To CLOSE DEAL
NEAR TO AGREEMENT OVER THE
WEST INDIES.
DENMARK NOT "BUFFALOED"
ENGLAND TRIED TO STIR UP
STRIFE OVER THE SALE
ALL Is LOVELY NOW.

Copenhagen, April 1.-THE govern
ment is earnestly considering the re-
cent somewhat modified proposa! with
regard to the sale to the United States
of the Danish West Indies, which is
considered likely to lead to a .satisfact-
ory termination of the negotiations. Of
lclal circles are of the opinion that the
Two governments are now nearer an
agreement than they have been at any
previous time.
The Danish government rilicules the
reiterated reports published in English
papers that peremptory communications
regarding the sale of the islands have
been received from the United States
and the officials are much impre ssel with
the cordiality and friendliness that the
'nlted States government has shown
throughout the negotiations.

At CAPE NOME
PROSPECT0RS ARE FLOCKlNG.
TOTHE HILLS,
FOOD and CLOTHING SCARCE
ESKIMO NATIVES SUFFERISa-
RELIEF EXPEDITION WILL
60 TO THEIR AID.

Seattle, Wash, April ia copy Of the
Nome News Letter of January 10, was
received here to-day. The weather at
Nome was mild, with prospectors en-
route to the hills.
James McTavish and Z. L. Fox had
just arrived at Nome ahead Of large
party from the Arctic circle. crossing
the divide from the frozen tundra Of
the Good Hope and KougrocK rivers.
With them were A. Donnelly. P. F. Ma
loney, j. w. Barry, G.. A. Carpenter,
from Good Hope and it's tributaries, and
r. F. Van After from a new river, which
empties into the Arctic.
McTavish and Fox had cached some
provisions on the Noxapago river when
going over, expecting to have it on their
return. Some thief stole the goods while
they We're gone and they ran short OF
food for themselves and dogs and lost
four of the latter thereby.
The Good Hope river, fully $50 miles
long, has few tributaries, but those few,
according to good authority are full of
the precious metal Those prospected
upon by the party last fall were the
Placer and it's tributaries, Ruby and
Mint, Jamison and Esperanza, which
flow into the Good Hope river above
the mouth of Placer river, five and -
miles respectively.
The McTavish and Fox party descend
ed the Good Hope river and explored and
located on Little Daisy, which flows into
Good Hope, three miles below Placer
river
They also prospected on Humbolt riv-
er, 25 miles further north, and staked
claims on Balarat and Eureka creek.
All these creeks have gold bearing
wash, sprinkled with quartz ana schist
bed rock gravel. The hills are a series
OF sugar loaves, beautifully rounded by
water action, reminding one of the Klou-
dixie.
1t Is stated that information has been
received at Fort Davis that a scarcity
OF food and clothing exists among the
natives OF Kougrock and Korzebus
Sound. A relief expedition will be soon
dispatched to those sections, taking food
clothing and medicines for the Eskimos
there.

AGENTS GO VISITING.

Chicago. April 1.-THE Chronicle saws.
General agents on the Santa Fe system
in all parts of the country have been in
Vited by the management of that road
to make a trip to California for th.
purpose of inspecting the new lines Of
the company in that state and familiar
izing themselves with the Pacific coast.
All of the agents have accepted the in
vitation.
The idea of entertaining the agents in
this way is being adopted by many of
the larger systems. Last month the Bur-
llngton management held a meeting OF
all division and general superintendents
of the system in Chicago.

says:

as an eastern line for the Great North

New York, April 17.-Frank r. LOOM
is, United States minister to Venezuela,
spent last night in quarantine, in COM
pany with the other passengers of the
Red Liner Caracas. On disembarking,
Mr.. Loomis drove at once to the Hotel
Victoria, where he will be quartered un-
til the end of the present EEK. when
he goes to report to the State depart
ment and President Mckinley.
To the Associated Press reporter. who
met him at quarantine to-day, Mr..
Loomis said
Il did not say any of the unpleasant
things that have been attributed 10 me
about President Castro during my stay
at San Juan or anywhere else. The fact
is, like Mr.. Castro very much. I was
interviewed at San Juan, but it was
more of a pleasant chat than anything
else. There were other passengers
aboard and present who said some un-
kind things, but certainly did not.
cannot understand how the criticisms
We're put in my mouth, unless the views
Of the passengers alluded to We're made
mine. I am quoted as saying that Presi-
dent Castro drew but 900 a year, yet
had made $2,000.O0O In two years. Now,
I do not even know positively that the
president gets the salary named, and l
know nothing OF any money he has made.
I also deny that l said he plotted to
secure my recall or removal.
II cannot discuss the recent diplomatic
incident with Venezuela. There are sew
eral points in connection with it that
I will report on to the department, and
naturally they are quite confidential I
may say, however, that the preliminary
steps toward a legal settlement of the
asphalt case have been taken in the Ven
ezuela courts. That Is precisely where

our government wished the dispute to

mitted for adjudication without preju
dice, and carried our point. do not say
that our government does not reserve
the right to interfere if justice is not
Done, but we want the matter passed
upon by the courts. There was some
feeling at the height of the incident,
but it has subsided. and our relations
at the present time are quite satisfactor-
lily. I cannot say how long it will take
to reach decision in the asphalt eases.

Attorney General Wand was quite
right IN the course he pursued to have
the grand and petit Jury panels
qusshed. The evidence be produced
showed oonolusively that the law had
not bean complied with and the answer
of the Levy Court IN explanation
thereof, which was read before the
General Sessions Court yesterday by
MIR. Horace G. Knowles, was weak in
substance and intent. Gross careless
ness is the most charitable construction
that can be placed upon the loose
manner in which the jurors had been
drawn. The law is specific covering
the matter aud 1t is curious the Levy
Courts attention should have been SO
closely centred upon other matters as
to have overlooked it. The attorney
general pointed out number OF aston
ishing infractions of the law, for which
it appears the Levy Court was directly
responsible. Mr.. Knowles naive ad-
mission that the illegal special meeting
of the Levy Court was called OF the
mitigation of President Lynn threw
an interesting light upon the happy
phrase, ''semi- judicial instruction. y
We now know that this kind Of in
struction is apt to involve an indiirer
ence to the law.

1t IS astonishing the various inter-
pretations that may be placed upon q
simple word for purposes OF ex-
pediency. Take the word imperialism.
Its chronological Significance is plain
and direct. It means system OF
government under an emperor or elp-
pire imperial state or authority, the
spirit Of empire. But we find that in
addition to this imperialism we have
.'real imperialism. This is the Kind
OF Imperialism that has eyoluted out
of the depths OF desperate political
emergency. 1t ia an Imperialism that
is being exploited in order to cover up
the other kind OF imperialism, which
seems to be causing some people con-
siderable mental disturbance by pro-
pensity to remain In public view. An
attempt was made to define it the other
day by the agile Mckinley, but he
failed ignominiously. He started out
to tell us he preferred to settle our Diff
ferences with other Powers by srbitra-
tion rather than war, and wound up by
admonishing us not to bs alarmed by
imperialism and militarism. that we
knew no imperialism in the United
States except the imperial power of a
sovereign people. Now this imperial
power Of a sovereign people seems to be
the "real imperialism. We are to
understand that there il no Imperialism
10 this country; only real Imperialism.
We confess to some confusion. II the
President had said there was no i'm
perialism in America. that he did
not stand for Imperialism, and had
no sympathy for 1t, we would have I'M
derstood him. But he was careful not to
say that. With Hawaii, Cuba and tho
Philippines-and Guam, we must cot
forget little Guam-hanging over him
he equivocated. He left the interpreta
tion to his partisan organs and they,
poor innocents, have already inter.
preted. According TO them the Presi.
dent did not want war, which meant thai
he had had IL and was sick of il: that
