some very queer components. To one

believed in the Monroe, Doctrine. Under
that doctrine this country could not per-
nit any European power to acquire the
islands and We could not in fairness take
this position and then ourselves refuse
to buy them when they are for sale.
The amendment was rejected without
division.
Senator Cullom said the provision af-
fecting the civil rights of the inhabitants
was similar to the provision on the same
subject in the Spanish treaty concerning
Porto Rico.
Senator Cullom said that in taking the
islands the United States would assume
no burden Of debt, as by the terms of the
agreement all claims held by Denmark
against the insular treasury would be
cancelled.
Senator Cullom explained that under
the terms of the treaty the United States
would take possession of the islands as
soon as ratification could be exchanged
and said that it would not be necessary
to delay that act until the appropriation
Of money to pay for them could be made
Senator Cullom's motion TO ratify then
was adopted by q viva YOce vote.

The Senate Ratifies Treaty,
Providing For Their
Acquisition.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 17-Today in little
more than an hours time the Senate dis
posed of the treaty with Denmark ceding
to the United States for a consideration
of $5,OO0O0O the islands of st. Thomas,
st. ohm and St. Croix, composing the
group Of the Antilles, known as the Dam
ish West Indies, and consummated q
transaction which has been under con-
sideration since the administration OF
President Lincoln.
enator Cullom, as chairman OF the
Committee on Foreign Relations, made q
speech explaining the advantages Of the
acquisition of the islands and Senators
Bacon and McLaurin, Of Mississippi, said
that while they could not endorse all the
provisions of the agreement they would
place no obstacles in the way of ratifica-
tion.
Senator Bacon moved to amend the
treaty by striking out the second para
graph of article of the treaty reading as
follows
1.-THE civil rights and the political
status of the inhabitants of the islands
shall be determined by the Congress sub
iect to the stipulationS contained in the
present convention
He based his opposition TO this provis-
ion on the general ground that the Con-
stitution should extend TO the islands
when they become part of the United
States. He said, however, that the fail
ure to accept the amendment would not
prevent his foting for the treaty. for he

termined when the House was in posses

support of the resolution. He pointed out
that as this was a step merely to ascer-
tain facts. there was no danger of
creating he public impression that the
Republican party proposed to enact any
drastic legislation on the subject.
The vote was then taken and without a
dissenting voice the resolution was agreed
to. The caucus thereupon adjourned
II was stated by members of the eau
Gus that the unanimous action by eighty
six members would undoubtedly be ac-
cepted by the Committee on Rules, not
withstanding the absence Of a quorum
and it was pointed out by these mem
bers that eighty-six affirmative votes
would have been a majority of a quorum
had been present. II also was stated by
those who had been most instrumental in
framing the resolutions that the investi-
cation could be conducted here in Wash
ington probably without any necessity of
making personal Investigation in the
South or elsewhere.
