On Oct % the landsthing defeated
the proposed sale of the Danish West
Indies to the United States. The re-
suit was made possible by the return
to their parliamentary duties of two
of the bitterest opponents OF the bill,
the second reading of which was re-
iected The vote stood 80 to ga tie.
1t was thought that the bill would
pass, as these two men of the lands
thing had been too i'll to attend the
previous meeting, but they were pres
ent, nevertheless, when the critical
time came. One of them, NJ. Thygesen
is 81 years old. He remembers as
child seeing Napoleon in 1872 before
his disastrous Russian campaign. The
vote of this man, almost centenarian,
against the bill insured it's defeat. The
result was greeted by mingled cheers
and shouts of disapproval. The rejec-
ton of the treaty was quietly received
in st. Thomas and up to the present
time there has been no popular eX-
preston of feeling or demonstration.
A large section of the population of the
islands is greatly disappointed at the
receipt of the news, believing that its
hopes of prosperity have been shat
tered A smaller but strong section of
the islanders is jubilant and hopes for
a renewal of prosperity under the old
flag and with the aid of the mother
land. Some anxiety is felt as to what
course the laborers of the Island of st.
Croix will take, the feeling there being
decidedly in favor of the sale. The
Danish cruiser Ingolf is at present at
Christianstedt. St. CroiX. The impor-
lance of st. Thomas for naval sta
ton is said to be immense. It is the
gateway to the West Indies, with it's
great international interests. But just
now Denmark has decided not to sell.
In order to prove to the world that
Denmark has no foreign policy to fur
ther, the government has decided to
curtail it's diplomatic service. The le-
cations at Madrid and Rome have been
closed and Hereafter any diplomatic
business with those countries will be
conductG by the Danish ministers in
Paris and Vienna, respectively. Other
changes are in contemplation.

UNIT ON TRUST QUESTION.
Cabinet Will Help President Fight I'm
lawful Combinations.

Washington, July SIT is simply
ridiculous canard, and there is no foun-
dation for it, in fact" said Mr.. Payne,
the postmaster general. when his at
tention was called to the report, pub
lished in an eastern paper to the effect
that the members of the cabinet were
divided on the trust question, and that
some of them did not indorse the Pres
ident's aggressive policy for the sup
preston of unlawful combinations.
The report stated that Secretary
Shaw. Secretary Wilson and Postmas-
ter General Payne did not agree with
the President, and were more luke
warm on the subject than they had
been on his Cuban policy.
1t was further charged that
there is a strong opposition
encouraged by cabinet members
among the republican leaders, to the
Presidents plan for dealing with the
trusts, and that an effort would be
made to defeat any legislation in that
direction at the next session of con-
gress. Mr. Payne's denial OF the
statements Is emphatic.
AS matter of fact, it is known that
the trust question has not been dis.
cussed. by the President with the mem
bers of the cabinet, with the excep
ton of Mr.. Knox. The President takes
the position that the regulation of
these unlawful combinations is mat.
ter of enforcement of the law, and he
has consulted with no one on the sub
ject except the attorney general. When
the President ordered proceedings
against the railway merger and later
against the beef trust, the announce
ment came as matter of news to all
of the members of the cabinet except
the attorney general. 1t is known that
the President has discussed with the
attorney general all of the phases of
the coal strike in the anthracite re,
gions, but has not taken other mem
bers of the cabinet into his council on
the subject. Whether action against
the coal combine will be taken is
known only to the President and the
attorney general.
Democrats are much disconnected
over the Presidents evident determin.
alton to proceed against the trusts, un.
der existing laws, and to urge the
enactment of new laws if those now on
the books are not found adequate.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July S.-The AS
ISOLATED Press is able to announce
that the national civic federation has
not exhausted all it's means in the ef-
ford to bring about peace in the an-
thracite coal fields. An estimation
which was started soon after the min
er laid down their picks is still in pro-
gress and it is understood that the fed
eral government through the depart
ment of labor is assisting in this work.
Make Minute Inquiry.
A few weeks ago Walter E. Weyl, a
representative of the department of
labor at Washington, and Prof. ]. R.
Commons, of the civic federation, made
a tour of the anthracite coal regions
in quest of information. They paid
particular attention to the questions
of the cost of labor for mining coal
and the selling price of the coal and
also as to whether an increase in the
wages of mine workers has kept pace
with the increased price in the neces-
stiles of life. These men interviewed
all persons familiar with the conditions
in the coal region, their work being
done quietly.
Confers With Mitchell.
While in Wilkesbarre Prof. Com
mons held conference with President
Mitchell during which he was shown

ing to the letters of the coal operators.
Weyl, who is the statistican of the
department contributed to the report
made by Commissioner Carroll
Wright to President Roosevelt. The
plan then formulated cannot be learn
ed here. A seal of secrecy has been
placed on everyone who has any
knowledge of the work that is going
on.

BEAUTIES OF GRAND CANYON.
Geo. Wheelock, Formerly of Ottumwa,
Graphically Describes the Sights.

Far beyond the power Of my pen
is it to describe the gran.
deur of the scenes of the grand can
yon of Colorado" says George Wheel
ock, formerly of this city, in writing
from the western mountains. MI.
Wheelock was formerly in business in
this city. but is now employed In the
government service with headquarters
in Omaha. Mr.. Wheelock writes OF the
west and especially of the mountains
in the following manner:
Dear Courier:-The Grand Canyon
of Colorado. Why can describe? No
pen or brush can do it justice. No
such colors, lights and shadows. on
rock, earth and sky, are to be seen
anywhere else.
Generally one sees a canyon from
the bottom, looking up but here it is
the reverse. | stood upon point OF
rocks 1850 feet high and looked down
one mile into the different gorges and
canyons until it seemed like looking
into the depths of the Internal re-
gions. | was overawed by the SPLEEN
did yet awful picture of the earth
quake's work and the thought came.
How Insignificant and helpless is man
after all in the face of such work by
the Supreme Architect of the Uni
verse. Man knows but little of the
great mysteries of this great chasm
and never will until he can fly. 1t is
well worth the time and expense for
visit and it is easier now than ever
before.
"a railroad runs from Williams, Ar.
iona; to the eaIApn sixty-four miles
distant. The Accommodation are
ample and of fair quality. A new no.
tel is to be constructed soon by the
| railroad company. The government
has a party at work making geolog--
ical survey of the canyon, so that
4 heights and distances are accurate.
The water used in the hotel has to
be hauled in tank cars about hun
dred miles. At the point where the
bright Angel Hotel" stands the can.
yon Is one mile deep and twelve miles
wide. 1t is something over 200 miles
long. Looking down from Rowes
Point | saw rock which looked very
much like turreted battleship and
the guide said it was called the Iowa.
A little further away is another one
called the Oregon.
1T seems useless for me to try and
tell you anything about it, One must
see it for themselves. Even All Moore
with his well known looseness of
words in writing up hot air. railroad
stories would stand appalled, before
the task of describing the Grand Can.
yon OF the Colorado.
Respectfully yours.
