Thus all the necessities Of life are

TREATY WITH UNITED
STATES REJECTED.
Sale of Danish West Indies
Defeated.

Copenhagen, Oct. 22.-The lands
thing today rejected the second read
ing of the bill providing for the rati-
fcation of the treaty between Denmark
and the United States in regard to
the cession of the Danish West Indies
to the latter country. The vote stood
80 to ga tie. The announcement
caused great excitement in the house
and demonstrations on the part of the
spectators.
The predominant sentiment through
Denmark is doubtless in favor of the
sale and the rejecting of the treaty is
attributed chiefly to a political effort
to embarrass the government and an
effort to bring about the resignation
of the ministry. The sale Of the ISL
ands will not remain dead for any
length of time, The inability to agree
on a policy for bettering the conditions
of the islands is expected to be a factor
in again foreign the sale question to
an issue.
The result of today's vote was doubt
full until the last moment, one member
had not taken definite stand and 1t
was uncertain whether two sick MEM
bers would be able to attend.
The cabinet held a meeting I'M
mediately after the rejection of the
bill and the ministers unanimously
agreed that the action Of the lands
thing did not necessitate their resigna-
tion.

TOM JOHNSON
DENOUNGEs DEMOCRATS.
Scathing Attack on Democratic
Traitors and Corruptionists in
Ohio.

Cincinnati, October 23.-Mayor Tom
L. Jonhnson of Cleveland, who is re-
cognized as the Democratic leader in
Ohio this year, as the probable op-
ponent of Senator Hanna next year,
and candidate for the Presidency in
1904, created quite sensation here to-
night by attacking certain elements in
his own party, especially John r. Nc
Lean, individually and as the proprie-
tor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
Lewis G. Bernhard, as chairman of the
Democratic committee of Hamilton
County. Mayor Johnson referred to
Senator Hanna's recent speech in
cautsic terms and devoted his speech
mostly to what he termed "the local
traitors of the Democratic party, "
and mis- references to Mr.. Mclean
and Chairman Bernhard we're as bit
ter as his fluent language could made
them. He not only read them out of
the party, but challenged them to
meet him on the charges that he made
politically against them.
Mayor johnson discussed the recent
curative Act passed by the Legislature
and denounced both of the Ohio Sena-
tors for serving it's passage. He men
toned by name all the eight Democrats
in the Legislature who voted with the
Republicans for the passage of the
curative Act for street railroads and
charged repeatedly that they go their
price. He challenged any of them to
meet him in his tent to be confronted
by that charge.
Mayor johnson discussed taxation
and other questions, but reverted sew
eral times to the Enquirer and Mr..
Mclean. He charged the Enquirer
with publishing that he came to Gin
cinnati, as disturbing gent. He
said he pitched his tent here to preach
the gospel of reform and cast out the
money changers. He had no Doodle
for anybody.
He said he had reserved this speech
to make. at McLeans' home and not at
a distance from his paper and neigh
bors, and, after repeating his charges
over and over, be said:

defy, Mr.. MLcean and his paper

A young man living on Walnut Hills

that is, he stays close to the shore with
his expenditures. He had the good
luck to marry a girl whose parents are
quite wealthy and is at present living
with his wife in one of his father-in-
laws houses.
One day not long since while dis
cussing affairs with a friend the latter
asked:
Did the old gentleman give you that
house.?
"well-er-no, not exactly" was the
answer. "He offered it to me. but l
wouldn't accept it.

ENGINEERS may STRIKE.
Georgia Railroad Refuses to Give
Mileage Rate.

Augusta, Ca, Oct. 23.-This was
the day set for the final settlement of
the differences between the engineers
of the Goeriga railroad authorities
amicably or for the Inauguration of
a strike against that line by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers.
At the last conference Manager Scott
asked time to consider the proposition
of the engineers, and Assistant Chief
Engineer Youngson, of the Brother
hood, gave him until October %. All
during the morning he and the COM
mittee of five who first waited on Mr.
Scott waited at the Albion hotel con-
stantly expecting Mr.. Scott to call
them to his Office, but no message ar
rived until after II o'clock. Mr.. Scott
was engaged during the morning
with Mr.. r. Lancaster Williams and
did not find himself at leisure until
that time. In his message he stated
to Mr.. Youngson that he would receive
the committee at his Office at four
o'clock in the afternoon.
Youngson and the committee met
General Manager T. K. Scott this
afternoon. Scott told Youngson that
on account of press of important busi-
ness it would be impossible to give
them more than few minutes. He
asked that the engineers give him fur
ther time to finally answer the ques-
tions.
Tonight Youngson said: "The stu
alton is indeed critical. We have
given Scott until 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning to decied what to do. We are
not dynamiters and are not longing
for war, but hope for peace. We have
given Scott everything he asked for
and now expect him to begin doing
something for US. While quiet,
peaceful adjustments is hoped for, if
Scott does not issue his ultimatum
in the morning, according to promise
every engineer will run his engine in
the round house and come down.
The adjustment committee of every
road in the whole section in any way
touching the Georgia was ordered
here by me and in conference confirmed
every act of the local men and will
stand by the Georgia engineers. -
The present situation surely indicates
a strike in which the fremen will
Join. It is said that Scott has been
trying to get engineers from a distance
in case the strike goes on. but this
cannot avail
