Political schism in King Chris
tian's Country May Result
From Present Discussion.

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC
Copenhagen, April 6-(Copyright, 1eO2)-
Curious as 1t may seem. the question of the
sale Of the Danish Antilles to the United
States may possibly cause great class d.
vision and political schism in this country
The Senate has formed itself into Sc
cret committee. Twelve Senators are ap-
pointed for life by the King, and the rest
OF the siXty-six members are elected by the
landed gentry and aristocracy.
Doctor Deuntzer. the Premier and Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, is, unfortunately, a
weak man. His IS an invidious position, that
of man used as bridge to connect wide
gap between the Royalists and Conserva-
tives and the Radicals. He Is the NOM
tnal head OF thc latter party. An amateur
politician, he Is keenly anxious to be in
good favor at court. and, indeed, is said to
be a nominee of the palace.
People Favor the Cession.
At the same time, he is. or wishes to be-
hail fellow, well met" with the Radicals
He. in fact, tries to be every ones friend
and thus enjoys the absolute confidence of
none. He is trimming his sails to every
wind. talking too much and saying too lit
tie. He is not sure of himself and, there
fore. is inspiring no confidence.
The question arises whether the people
having for the first time in the history of
the country elected a Radical Government
with an overwhelming majority, and with
strong men at the head of 1t, with the ex-
ception of Deuntzer-a good professor of
philology, but no statesman-will patiently
see the will Of their representatives set at
naugh., and vetoed by a party 80 weak
that it can only muster seven men in the
popular and lower house, out of a total of
ia.
There is a good deal of such a fidgety,
feverish kind OF talk in the air just now.
Admiral Roun's Statement.
When probed, the statements of Captain

in political circles at Washington, do not
seem TO hold water. 1t is stated that when
the Captain arrived here. in company with
Mr.. Henry White of the Embassy in Lon
don, he saw the Minister OF Foreign AZ
tairs, Admiral Raun. In an interview to-
day, Admiral Raun said:
Yes. l received Mr.. White, and he was

Mr.. White to step into my room to the
right, but I said Christmas, will you go

FIGHT FOR CROzIER
At Loss to Explain the Action of
the Senate Committee in Report
ing Against His Confirmation.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, April 6.-President Roosevelt
has given emphatic notice of his purpose to
press In the Senate for the confirmation of
the nomination of Captain William Crozier
to be Chief of Ordnance, with the rank of
Brigadier General.
This means that a fight will be precipi-
tated between the administration and the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs which
may even extend to the Senate and which.
in any event, will be far-reaching in its ef-
feet, not only upon the army. but upon
under the control of the War Depart
ment, and other questions of Importance
to the administration.
Notwithstanding the efforts of officials to
induce the members of the committee to
change their attitude OF hostility To one
of passivity. there has been failure and the
votes registered against Captain Crozer In
the committee will be cast against the con-
iirmation of the nomination on the floor of
the Senate.
Senator Cockrell raised the point that
Captain Crozier was not eligible. as the law
prohibited the appointment of any officer
below the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Sec
but it is still his opinion that the President
has authority to make a Captain In the
Ordnance Department Chief OF Ordnance
Committees Changed Attitude.
While the nomination was pending the
difference between the administrator and
General Miles occurred and the Generars
friends well know that harmony does nnt
exist in the Board of Ordnance and Fnre
tifcations. of which General Miles is pres;
dent and Captain Crozier a member.
