DISCUSSING THE TREATY.
Denmark's Legislature Still Talks
Sale of Islands

Copenhagen, April S.-Two more
secret meetings of the landsthing were
held yesterday to discuss the Danish
West Indies treaty but no vote was
reached. The opposition made a new
motion to order a plebiscite before and
not after the ratification of the treaty.
This motion will not be accepted but
1t caused the pOstponement of the
vote to the next meeting of the
house which will undoubtedly be the
last one. A reliable forecast indicates
the landsthins will vote for the ratif-
cation of the treaty and a plebiscite

subsequent to this action. Herr Won
Fessen who was sent to the Danish
West Indies in 1901 by the National
Tidende to stir up opposition to the
proposed sale to the United States,
has returned with glowing reports of
the success of his mission. Yesterday
he published an article in the National
Tidande in which he declares infiu-
ences had been at work in the islands
which would render a plebiscite at
this time worthless to Denmark, as a
vote of the inhabitants of the islands
would result in favor of the sale. He
therefore asks the landsthing to reject
the treaty outright. This is believed
to show the desperate straits of the
opposition.
