ISLAND TREATY
Land Owners viii, However,
Vote on Proposition.
SESSION WAS EXCITING
Landsthine or Upper House of Dem
marks Parliament Is Already In
Favor of the Sale of West
Indies to United States.
SESSION WAS EXCITING

Copenhagen, April 9-The Landsthing.
or upper house, today concluded its Sc
cret debate on the treaty providing for
the sale of the Danish West India islands
70 the United States. A report on the
subject will be presented to parliament
in open session at an early date.
The Landsthing majority report, which
was signed by thirty-five members, rec
ommends the ratification of the treaty
after a secret vote by electors who are
qualified to vote for members of the CO.
lonial council for the Danish West In
dies. These electors aye holders of prop
erty worth 1000 troner and upwards. The
plebescits heretofore demanded involved
the entire population including the ne
groes, so the proposals are much modi-
fed.
Twenty-Five supporters of the govern
ment signed the minority report, which
is in favor of the ratification of the
treaty without a plebescite. The indie
pendent group, aggregating eight men,
bers, signed third report advocating the
ratification of the treaty with subse-
quent of plebescite of the entire popula-
ton The Landsthing will vote in open
session next week, when the question will
be returned to the Polishing, or lower
house, which has already ratified the
treaty without providing for a plebescite.
A conference committee will hen be ap-
pointed and 1t is thought possible that
this will eventually result in the adop-
ton of the report submitted by the eight
Independents.
Today's session of the Landsthing was
very exciting. The opposition moved to
reject the treaty out right but the motion
was lost by IS to IS votes. The majority
report is understood to be couched in ex-
IRENE terms for the purpose of exactng
some concessions on the part of the
FolksthiEg.

1T Is simply intended to let the island
ers share the responsibility. They can
not undo what has been done, hence, 1t
only signifies further delay, which nobody
wants. The people have seen enough of
the demoralizing effects of the question

zens shall be guaranteed certain rights
of travel, trade, etc, in the islands.
After the expiration of this eight-year
period our substitute provides the manner
in which the Philippine republic can frame
its constitution. During the intermediate
period the islands are under executive au-
thority of a President of the Philippines
and a secretary of state, both appointed
by the President for terms of four years.
There Is also provision for a cabinet or
advisory board to be selected by the Pres
ident of the Philippines. Provision is
made for legislative body consisting of
thirty Senators and one hundred repre-
sentatives to be elected by the qualified
voters of the island. The electorate is to
be composed of persons 81 years of age
who are residents of the islands for three
years, or who can read or write any lam
guage, or who have paid 81 poll or other
taxes. Our bill provides much lower sal
aries than the Republican measure. AS to

Street Commissioner John McCartin;
who has charge of the convicted prison

employed in the Kitchen and carrying wa
ter.
Recently several robberies and misde-
meanors have been committed by the
TRUSTEES" and the police and citizens
have made a number of complaints
against them. The most prominent case
is probably Ed Wallace, who stole
number of chickens on one raid and a
case of tobacco on another. He was
bound over to the Criyoinal Court by
Judge Feagin.
1t had been the habit of a portion of
the guards to allow sor. of the older
negroes, those who had been behaving
well and those working the best to leave
the jail at night. provided they returned

measure prepared by the Republican
members establishing a complete form of
civil government for the island. Mr..
Cooper will make the report tomorrow and
will seek thereafter to bring the measure
before the House.
The chief interest today was In the

members and prepared by Representative
Jones of Virginia. 1t is proposed event.

pinos, the islands to remain under the
Filipino commission until July 4, 1903, then
eight years of qualified independence. then
complete independence, the Instruction
meanwhile to cease The United States is
to have three coaling stations and two
naval stations. There were twenty Sec
lions in the substitute.
Patterson Offers Amendment.
After the substitute was voted down,
Representative Patterson, Democrat, Ten
nessee, offered an amendment to the ma
Jority bill providing for the abolition on
slavery throughout the Islands and for
the annuiment of the treaty made be-
tween General Bates and the Sultan of
Jolo.
Chairman Cooper called attention to the
clause In the majority bill that neither
slavery nor voluntary servitude shall ex-
ist in the islands,"
Mr.. Patterson maintained that this re-
striction would not be effective so long
as the Bates treaty remained in force.
On a vote Mr.. Patterson's amendment
was rejected
The committee then voted to report the
majority bill, the terms of which have
heretofore been published.
Mr.. Jones, explaining the Democratic
substitute more in detail, said:
Eventual independence.
"The Democratic substitute is based on
the theory of giving the Philippines
eventual independence. We leave the af-
fairs of the islands with the present
Philippine commission until July 4, 1903.
From that date and until lila period of
eight years-we provide for the qualified
independence of the islands with view
to leading up to complete independence
which begins at the latter date. The
qualified independence is granted on con-
dition that there is a complete cessation
of war and all organized armed opposi-
ton. Moreover 1t is granted on specified
conditions, namely, that the United States
shall have three coaling stations and two
naval stations and convenient terminal
points for submarine cables; that the
