Some Facts About Our Pro-
 spective Possessions
ISLANDS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO US
St. Thomas q Point of Call For All European Trade, and It's Strategic VaIue Will Re Increased by
 the BuiIdinga,of Canal.

WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The recent favorable report by the senate commit tee on foreign relations of the treaty for the cession of the islands of the Danish West Indies was accompanied by a written statement made by that committee to the senate. This report contains small diagram showing the location of the three islands and the positions relative to Porto Rico and gives numerous interesting facts rela- tive to the islands. It shows that dur ing the year 1900 the islands exported to the United States sugar, molasses and distilled spirits amounting to $56S,94 and that during the same pc riod the exportations from the United States amounted to $624, 524.
 The annexation of the islands was sought by the United States years ago, and as far back as 1867 Denmark de- clined to sell the islands for $5,00O,O00, but made a proposition to part with them for $15, ,000,0o0. Secretary Seward offered $7, GOO. which was declined. He afterward agreed to pay that amount for the islands of St. Thomas and St. John, but the trade fell through because of complications which arose. At that time Denmark insisted that the consent of the people of the islands should be formally given before the sale should be consummated, and when the vote was taken there were only twenty three out of a total of over 1,20O ballots against the cession. When the treaty was returned to the senate of the United States, it was tied up there for two years and ultimately failed of ratification.
 Continuing, the report says:
 ''These islands. together with Porto Rico, are of great importance in stra- tegic way, whether the strategy be military or commercial. St. Thomas is the natural point of call for all Euro pean trade bound to the West Indies, Central America or northern South America. These islands, together with Porto Rico, form the northeastern cor ner of the Caribbean sea and are of great importance il connection with the American isthmus, where canal will be constructed between the Allan tic and the Pacific. They are of first importance in connection with our re- lations to the region of the Orinoco and the Amazon and with our control of the Wfndward passage. In view of the fsthnian canal and European settle ments in South America every addi- tionaI acquisition by the United States iS of vall1p"

Caused Poolrooms. Loss.

CINCINNATI, Feb. S.-When the Covington and Newport poolrooms were hit Thursday evening for more than $20,O00, there were many sur mises as to how it was done. Now 1t is claimed that the wires were tap ped at some point north of Dayton O., as other poolToomS were hit south of here and none north of Dayton. Most of the money from the poolrooms here was secured by visitors from Dayton. and it was won on Lady Kent in the last race at New Orleans. The pool room men claim that their report was delayed fifteen minutes, whereby each of the four poolrooms was hit for more than $4,o00 on that race. The telegraph company and the poolroom men have instituted an investigation.

Panama Canal Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The com mittee on interoceanic canals held an afternoon session yesterday, during which Senator Morgan questioned Ad-' miral Walker concerning the difficult ties of constructing canal by the Panama route He asked especially about the effect of the water discharge through the spillway from the artifi- cial lake to be made by the construc- ton of the Bohia dam. In response, Admiral Walker said that he thought it possible that the water would find it's way back into the canal, but he did not seem inclined to think that the ca- nal would be injured by it if it did. He also said, in reply to questions, that so far as he knew no experiments be- yond a few borings had been made to ascertain whether q secure foundation could be obtained for the proposed pier at the dam, but he believed that by the use of cement it would be possible to get q good foundation.
