Morris s Wise referee in bankruptcy has re-
ported that F. Tennyson Neely. publisher. formerly
at No. ia Fifth-ave, who filed petition in banks
ruptcy on October 2 1899 with liabilities of Ss59.
35f is entitled to a discharge in bankruptcy, tbs
specifications OF the opposing creditor not having
been sustained. Out of $50 creditors only firm
filed specifications objection that 1Ir. Neely had
knowingly concealed from his trustee forty-nine
bicycles, valued S1.0C0. in Chicago. which wers
omitted from the original schedules. but that
June q. 1900. the schedules amended by add
ing mention OF these bicycles. The bankrupt
swore that the omission was inadvertent and unin-
territorial and that the wheels had transferred
to firm of Chicago attorneys before the bank
ruptcy security for a debt he owed them. The
referee does think that the creditor established
the essential and necessary fact that the omission
of these bicycles from his schedules done

Mr.. Campbell. I am an independent Democratic

am reported to have done James A Garfield was
the last Republican candidate for President that

and National politics nothing to do with local
affairs In State affairs have voted for only one
Republican candidate for Governor. and that was
Theodore Roosevelt. because he was champion OF
Civil Service reform. Against him was Van Wyck.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
REPORT OF NEGOTIATIONS FORWARDED TO
BOTH HOUSES OF RIGsDAG.

Copenhagen Jan 15.-The Danish Govern
ment has sent TO the Finance Committee Of both
houses of the Rgsdag a report of the negotia
tions between the United States and Denmark
regarding the sale of the Danish West Indies,
and also a petition signed by seventeen bust
ness men of Copenhagen asking for Government
assistance to make the islands profitable to Dan
ish capital.
The syndicate proposes, if their petition is
favorably entertained. to expend money in i'm
provements and in developing the islands. This
proposition may delay the sale. but il is not
likely that the Rigsdag will make further sac
rifices.
Washington, Jan 15.-f the negotiations for
the American purchase of the Danish West
Indies nearing completion, reported from
Copenhagen, the fact has not recently been
brought to the attention of the State Depart
ment, which has not been advised in regard to
the status of the negotiations since three months
ago. 1t is hardly probable, however, that de-
tails would be forwarded until definite results
were in hand.
