Danish West Indies Sale.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-As a re- suit of the negotiations that have been in progress between Secretary Hay and Mr. Brun, the Danish minister, the last obstacle of substance to the prepara- tion of the treaty of cession whereby the United States will become possess ed of the Danish West India islands has been removed. It is said that the points of difference have been adjusted in a manner to insure the acceptance of the treaty by the United States sen ate, and it is even possible that the convention may be laid before that body before the holiday recess. The de- cision of the supreme court in the in- sular cases has made easier the prepa- ration of the treaty on satisfactory lines, it is said.

A FIGHT IN COLOMBIA
Liberals Defeated In a Bloody
 Engagement.
TOWN OF BOMBRE DE DIOS DESERTED
Foreigners Suspected of Aiding the GOvernment-Expedi Has Left Colon to Rid the Coast of
 Insurgent Bands.

COLON, Colombia, Dec. 7.- A schooner just arrived here from town on the Caribbean coast called Nombre de Dios brings the news that the Co., lombian government troops to the number of seventy which left Colon a fortnight ago for Viento Eric had an engagement with the Liberal forces at Nombre de Dios last Friday. The Lib erals numbered 25O men, chiefly re- cruits from along the coast. They were badly armed, the majority carrying nothing but machetes. They were fair ly well intrenched, however, at Nom bre de Dios.
 A bloody engagement ensued in which the casualties on both sides amounted to eighteen men killed and forty wounded. The government troops succeeded in carrying the intrench- ments and driving the Liberals from the town back on to the hills behind 1t.
 During the engagement the women and children of Nombre de Dios, to- gether with the United States vice consul at Colon, MT. Hyatt, and other island facing the scene of the engage uGuL. 4AG SOVGIumGuL tIOOP5 d1C AOW on their way back to Colon.
 MT. Hyatt reports Nombre de Dios to be now practically deserted and as unsafe for foreigners, the Liberals be- lieving the latter have been aiding the government. MT. Hyatt is also the manager of a manganese mine. Nom- bre de Dios is the center of American manganese mining interests. There is a railroad running from this port nine miles back into the country, but owing to the unsettled condition of affairs traffic on the railroad and mining op- erations have been suspended during the past month.
 The Colombian gunboat General Pin zon, after driving the Liberal forces out of Cocle, will leave a portion of the troops she carries at this point and then proceed immediately to Nombre de Dios.
 The Colombian gunboat Boyaca, which arrived at Panama last Friday, again returned in the direction of Agua Dulce Saturday night, carrying on board POO government troops and large supply of provisions. The Lib eral leaders Porras and Lorenzo are supposed to be retreating in the di- rection of La Negrita.
 The gunboat General Pinzon, with 100 troops on board, left here yester day morning for Cocle, where the Lib- eral forces are fairly numerous. She will rid this part of the coast of Lib eral bands and will also be on the look out to intercept Generals Porras and Lorenzo should they attempt to reach any Atlantic port from which it is be ieved they would probably sail to Costa Rica in quest of re-enforcements, ammunition, etc.
 The Conservative soldiers landed here by the General Pinzon now garri- son in detachments of from 25 to 100 men all the stations along the railroad between Colon and Panama.
 The reported purchase by Colombia of the Chilean cruiser PreSidente Pinto cannot be confirmed.

Seeks an Injunction.
 ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 17.-Mar- conf has just returned here from Cape Spear, where he experienced poor luck. The weather was rendered extremely unpleasant by fog, wind and rain- storm, and the inventor was unable to decide upon a site for his proposed station. He could not see the sur rounding country, and a general view of the physical features of the coun- try in the vicinity is necessary before fixing upon a site. Mir. Marconi wishes to avc:d the presence of high hill be hinu the station. Hills in the back ground are detrimental to the system if they are in the line of transmission, as they weaken the signals by causing rebound.
 On returning here from Cape Spear Marconi was served with legal docu- ments from the solicitors of the Anglo American Telegraph company notify ing him that the said company pos sesses an exclusive monopoly of the tel egraph business within Newfoundland and it's dependencies and demanding that he cease his experiments and re- move his apparatus forthwith else the company would apply to the supreme court for an injunction restraining him from further trials.
 Marconi has not yet decided as to what course of action he will take i'll this matter, but he regards this action on the part of the Anglo-American Telegraph company as the best proof of the importance of his new discov-

ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME.
Visitors to St Louis Worlds Fair Can Take 8 Sulphur Bath and Have Their Shirts Washed While
 They Wait.

St Louis, Dec 17.-"The Louisiana Purchase exposition at St Louis in 1903 is to have an establishment where visitors may, at moderate rates, be re freshed by sleep and the application of water to their persons and clothing." says Director of Works Taylor. Ut has been considered the proper thing always at expositions to supply plenty of eating and drinking places, but never before has it occurred to exposi- ton managements to go farther in the care and restoration of the physical man by furnishing bathing and sleep ing facilities. There have been barber shops where for preposterous prices the visitor might get shave or a shine, but there never has been place where he might bathe and sleep, except the exposition hospital, and this was not open to him till his sys- tenn had completely collapsed.
 At the establishment to be fea- tured at the St Louis fair the visitor will, at moderate prices, be able to get thesfollowing: Shine, shave, shampoo, head-rub, bath-Turkish, plain, in sul- phur water or in plain water-fresh collars, fresh cuffs, laundered under wear and sleep.
 We are to sink an artesan we'll on the grounds and the water from this, strongly impregnated with hydrogen sulphide, as is usual with artesian we'll water in the vicinity of St Louis, will supply sulphur baths, which phy- sicians declare to have exceptional in- vigorating and stimulating properties. The visitor will be able to get any kind of bath he likes, hot, cold or tepid, with massage or without, Turkish, Nubian or what not. Apartments, small but nicely equipped, will be sup piled. where after his bath he may take a short nap, the attendant awak- ening him at a specified time. The apartments in most of the exposition grounds will be so quiet that sleep will come readily even to the nervous. A patrol about the building will guard against the least noise or disturbance.
 While the visitor is taking his bath and his nap, the laundry will work on his underclothing, washing, rinsing and drying it. Collars and cuffs will be for sale at the building and the vis- itor, when he wakes, can don fresh. clean underwear, fresh collar and cuffs, and shaved and shoes shined, he can go forth as fresh and vigorous as though he had just emerged from his room at the hotel. There will be sep arate establishments for the sexes, and women will be furnished the same service by female attendants.
 "A tired man is a poor exposition visitor. He lacks the attention which is the first step toward enjoyment. Fla cilities for rest must be supplied and they will be supplied at the St Louis exposition. The visitor is not expect led and will not be allowed to take long sleep. The natural deep. whole some sleep which follows bath will restore him completely in an hour or lesa {"

AN IMPORTANT GATHERING.
Leaders of Labor and Capital Dis
 cuss Plans For Peace.

Leaders of Labor and Capital Dis-
 cuss Plans For Peace.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The foremost representatives of capital, the foremost representatives of labor and the fore most workers for harmony between the contending forces met in confer ence at 203 Broadway yesterday and are fin session today. In executive ses- sion tomorrow they will draw up plan by which it is expected arbitration will permanently displace the strike in this country as means of settling dis putes between employer and employee.
 The conference will result in the ap- pointment of permanent arbitration committee of twenty-seyen men. Nine of these will be representatives of capi- tal-such men as Charles M. Schwab, president of the billion dollar steel trust; Senator Mark A. Hanna, the owner of dozen corporations, and s. R. Galloway, president of the American Locomotive works. Nine more will be representatives of the workingman- such as Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Theodore Schaffer of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers; John Mitchell of the Coal Miners and others representing over a million of organized union men. The remaining nine will be composed of such men as Bishop Potter, Archbishop Ireland, Abram s. Hewitt, James B. Reynolds and others who have always stood for arbitration between labor and capital.
 Yesterdays session lasted two hours. It would have been longer but for the inability of several of the important leaders to reach this city. They were stormbound in Scranton, Pa.
 The meeting was addressed by MT. Schwab, Senator Hanna, Bishop Pot ter, Archbishop Ireland, John Phillips of the Hatters' union and others repre- senting all sides of the movement.

GREAT STORM IN MAINE.
Damage Done VIII Come to a High
 Figure.

Damage Done VIII Come to a High
 Fisure.
 PORTLAND, Me, Dec. IT. - This state is suffering from one of the most severe storms in it's history, hourly re- ports telling of disaster that adds thou sands of dollars to the aggregate dam age. The three principal rivers and in- numerable smaller streams have over flowed their banks, submerging vast areas, washing away bridges, buildings and great quantities of logs and lum- Der and flooding factories, mills and dwellings. The Maine Central railroad has moved no trains since early Sun day, and the eastern section is entirely cut off from the western part. Through trains between Portland and Bangor are not expected before Thursday.
 The Bangor and Aroostook railroad and the Canadian Pacific railroads lines are in nearly as bad condition. With few exceptions the great mills on the Androscoggin, Kennebec and Pe- nobscot rivers were unable to start their machinery yesterday because of high water, and thousands of men are temporarily without work. Many cit ies and towns report great damage to streets, families driven from their homes, street railways imperative through flood and districts inaccessible because of bad roads. Photographic and telephonic communication, though in- terrupted between many points, has stood the strain we'll.
 Only one death has been reported, 8 fireman named Patten, whose engine on the Canadian Pacific railroad plung- ed into washout. A similar accident on the Maine Central resulted in the injury of three persons, one of whom may die.
 Madison, on the upper Kennebec riv- CT, sustained the greatest damage of any place, with a money loss of fully $5OO,OOO. One section of the town in which are big mills for hours was at the mercy of the roaring river, logs and ice crushing and overturning buildings. The Hume at the pumping station was carried away, and the towns water supply was cut off.

Waters Exceeding and the Railroads
 Slowly Picking Up.
 PHILADELPHIA Dec. 17.-Advices from all sections of the eastern half of Pennsylvania, over which area Satur- day nights storm ragged furiOusly, are to the effect that the waters covering the flooded districts are receding and that railroad and telegraphic commu- nication are slowly being restored. From Towanda comes the announce ment of three deaths caused by the flood near that town and the additional statement that two others will die from the effects of exposure.
 The damage to property and the pc cuniary loss from enforced suspension of many industries will reach many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dozens of coal mines are flooded, along with hundreds of industrial concerns located along waterways, thus throw ing idle thousands of men. It is esti- mated that more than 10000 persons have been rendered idle. The Susque- hanna river, which rose at some points twenty nine feet above low water mark, is going down.
 The railroad situation is gradually becoming better. At 5 o'clock last night the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad started a train for New York Direct communication with that city had been cut off from Scran- ton and Wilkesbarre for fOrty-eight hours, and trains were sent via Sun bury, Harrisburg and Philadelphia, a distance of 330 miles. The direct route is only 145 miles.
 The Central Railroad of New Jersey is still tied up as far as through serv- ice is concerned. Trains are being run between local points. The Lehigh Val ley railroad has opened it's through service between Buffalo and New York city by making detour over branch lines, thus passing around the flooded district.
