TREATY WITH DENMARK.
Agreement in Regard to West Indian
Islands VIII lie Ratified.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The treaty with
the government Of Denmark for the cession
of the West Indian islands sold by that
country to the United States to-day re-
ceived its first attention at the hands of the
Senate committee on foreign relations. The
greater part of the time OF the committees
sitting was given to this question, but the
committee adjourned without taking action.
This pOstponement of action was not due
to opposition to the treaty, but rather to a
desire on the part of the members TO Sc
cure from the State Department all the in
formation Obtainabe concerning the re-
sources of the islands and the advantages
TO be secured by their control by the United
States All the members of the committee
present. including several Democrats, ex-
pressed themselves Of opinion that the pos
session of the islands would be of advan-
tage to this country from a strategic point
OF view. The present prospect Is that the
treaty will be favOrably reported after an
other meeting devoted to its consideration.
There was some discussion to the eff
feet OF the treaty on the inhabitants of the
West Indies. but this apparently set
tied by the condition that any resident of
the island could maintain his allegiance to
Denmark as long as he might desire to do
so. There Is no provision in the document
Itself for a plebisCite, but the general opin-
ion among members of the committee as
brought out in the meeting is that Den
mark viii exercise the privilege of permit
ting the inhabitants OF these islands an
opportunity to express by ballot their pref
erence in the matter OF the transfer This
opportunity is afforded in a provision for
the ratification of the treaty by the Danish
government after it shall have been acted
upon by the Senate. 1t Is believed that be
fore the treaty is finally accepted by Den
mark il will De placed before the people
Immediately affected by it and that they

CARELESS WITH CURRENCY.
Shippers Do Not Hide Contents of
Packages from Mail Clerks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Remarkable
careless practices in the transmission of
large amounts OF currency by mail to Cuba
are complained of in a report received to-
day by Postmaster General Payne from
Director General Fosnes, of the Cuban
postal service. The registered mail is be-
ing regularly and largely used for the
transmission of money between the United
States and Cuba. Mr.. Fosnes says that
with liberal use Of strong paper. Irvine
and sealing wax, II is possible TO so wrap
these packages that they cannot break
open and subject officials to unwarranted
stress Of temptation"
Mr.. FOsnes reports: Yesterday there
was received in Havana in transit to Glen
fuegos from the National Bank of Com
merce of New York city a package bearing
S.H in postage and weighing twenty-three
pounds and which may have contained
50O,GO in currency. Through openings in
the package protruded bills of large de-
nominations in plain sight of "A dozen
clerks. The railway mail clerks probably
learned Of the contents from the Havana
lying outside the safe in the CienfuegOs
pOstoftice by reason of the size of the par
eel. Only last week the attention of a
local bank was called to the insecure man
ner In which three packages from New
York, each containing $4,000 in currency,
had been prepared for mailing. The paper
wrapper was worn and the money exposed
TO plain view. The normal risk in the mails
OF enormous sums of money is great
enough and should not be increased by the
ocular revelation of the contents"

Company is on trial in the Superior Court,
was vender of newspapers at the time
President Mckinley was shot by Czolgocz
at Buffalo. Making the best of the great
business opportunity afforded him by the
startling event, he jumped on and off street
cars with his papers. seeking customers.
On day which is named in his complaint
he boarded car and met with a conductor
who was less accommodating than usual.
He charges that the conductor would give
him chance to leave the car when it
was at a standstill but forced him to jump
off when it was in rapid motion. AS
suit it IS claimed that the shock of the
fall was so severe that it caused concus-
sion of the brain. and he lay unconscious
for more than a week. Even now he al
leges his ultimate recovery is very much
TO be doubted.
In consideration of the alleged injuries,
which are stated to be permanent, the boy
seeks TO recover from the company 50 500.
The jury impaneled yesterday even
ing, and the trial will be continued to-day.

suit against the street-railway company is
dismissed a similar suit of his clients
against the street car company last Tues
day evening on the ground that Mrs
Dougherty received her alleged injuries
through her own negligence. Mr.. Calvin
thinks he has found good law which will
uphold him I'm his contention that the COM
pany is liable for the injuries received by
his client. Accordingly. he filed with the
clerk yesterday a new suit against the
company for $1,000
Mrs. Dougherty alleges that she was in
jured by ColleGe-avenue car of the com
pany's which was proceeding TO the north
east and that she had looked around on all
sides carefully to If il was safe TO cross
the tracks. Notwithstanding her caution,
she alleges that she was knocked down and
sustained partial paralysis, impaired sight
and other injuries.
In his brief fled yesterday Mr.. Calvin

as applied TO the running OF cars.
