NO WORD FROM DANISH ISLES,
Matter May Remain Dormant Until
Change in Ministry Is Made.

Matter May Remain Dormant Until
Change fn Ministry Is Made.
The State Department has received nc
official information to the effect that the
treaty for the transfer of the Danish
West Indies to the United States will
signed by the former country this week.
On the contrary. notification was only
recently received from Denmark's diplo-
matte representative in Washington that
nothing further would be done at the pres
ent looking to consummation of the pro-
posed sale.
AS far as Is known at the State De-
partment. no change has taken place in
the situation since the receipt of this last
notification. 1t is generally believed that
the matter will remain dormant until a
change is made in the Ministry of Den
mark
The break in the negotiations for the
transfer of the islands came in the ma
ture of surprise to the Administration,
as the treaty had been drawn with the
approval of Denmark, and was only await
ing signature.
Ofiicials of the State Department now
know that the rupture in the proceedings
was due to popular feeling in Denmark
against the sale. and not to any protest
made by the inhabitants of the islands
to be purchased.

PEARCE HAD TAKEN POISON.
Laudanum In Standard OIL Company
Cashiers Stomach.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 22.-Coroner Bats
announced this evening that his analysis
of the stomach of John l.. Pearce, cashier
of the Standard OIL Company, whose body
was found in a s.siT yesterday alongside
the company's WI. apparently devel-
oped the presence of laudanum in suf-
icient quantities to stupefy Mr. Pearce.
and perhaps to have caused his death.
Only portion of the stomach was
analyzed, and the chemical appliances Of
the coroner are limited, but he Is salts
sed of the correctness of his findings
He was also advised today by a druggist
that the deceased bought two ounces Of
laudanum from his clerk at IL o'clock on
the night of his death. ostenslbly to be
used on an aching tooth.
The general conclusion here IS that
Pearce's death is due to laudanum, self
administered, but whether taken with
suicidal intent or not is not known.
Ii is generally believed that he killed
himself because, though holding very
responsible position. he received q small
salary, stated to be $50 month, and he
owed perhaps $1,000. There Is no sus-
pcion that he was short in his accounts.

THE RIGHT TO MAKE TREATIES.
Senate subcommittee Investigating &
Precedents on Reciprocity.

subcommittee OF the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations is engaged in
making an examination of precedents to
determine the much-discussed question
whether the Senate has the power to ne
gotiate treaties without the approval of
the House of Representatives regardless
OF what the law may say upon the sub
ject.
Section 4 Of the Dingley tariff act pro-
yides that when commercial treaties are
negotiated and ratified they shall be APP
proved by the House of Representatives
before going into effect. Several Senator'S,
however, have denied the right Of the
House to participate In the work OF per-
fecting commercial treaties. and declare
that the Senate now has the inherent
right to make a treaty with Cuba inyolv-
ing tariff concessions without submitting
1t to the House for approval.
In Washington despatch recently pub
lished conveying the impression that the
House and Senate might Tight over reel
procity, Senator Frye Is qJotcd as fol-
lows:
There is no distinction in the Constitu-
tion between one kind of treaty and an
other. In my opinion, there is full power
TO make reciprocity treaties without the
necessity OF any action by the House
The interesting feature of Senator
Frye's attitude is brought out by one OF
the leaders who has a long memory. In
the Forty-sixth Congress Representative
pig Iron Kelly introduced the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved That il is the sense of this
House that the negotiation by the Ex-
ecutive Department Of the Government OF
a commercial treaty whereby the rates OF
duty to be imposed on foreign commodi-
ties entering the United States for con-
sumption should be fixed would, in view
Of the provision of Section Z of Article l
of the Constitution OF the United States.
be an infraction OF the Constitution and
an invasion of one OF the highest pre-
rogatives of the House of Representa-
tives. -
On yea and nay vote, January 26, 1880.
this resolution was passed by 175 to 90,
and among those who voted for it was
Senator Frye, then a Representative from
Maine. william Mckinley also voted for
it and so did Representative Burrows

WANTS NEW PENSION CODE.
Representative Norton Secures Sub

Representative Norton Secures Sub.
Committee for the Purpose.
The House Committee on Invalid Pen
sions has named a sub -committe to con-
slider the codification of the pension laws.
This subcommittee will take up all the
existing general pension laws and en-
deavor to arrange a codification which
will modernize the pension system.
Representative Norton. Democrat, Of
Ohio. who made the motion for the ap-
pointment of a sub committee, said yes
terday afternoon:
Il believe that the pension laws should
recognize the fact that the strict rules of
thirty-seven years ago are not applicable
now.
Nearly all the important pension laws
were passed many years ago and as now
operated all doubts are resolved against
the soldier, while proven service should
resolve such doubts in the soldiers favor.
There would be such a revision of the
laws as is desired. except for the arbi-
trary rules of the Pension Office, which
operate against the soldier, and the arbi
trary rules of the House. which prevent
consideration of legislation.
1T is quite within the power of the Re-
publicans to change these rules and cor
rect the injustice they occasion"

TWO LEAVE JERSEY FIGHT.
LoudensIager and Herbert Quit the
senate Race.

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 22.-The choice
for United States Senator would seem to
lie among GriGgs, Dryden, and Stokes
Loudenslager and Herbert have with
drawn. 1t is said that the Pennsylvania
Railroad will throw its influence at the
caucus tomorrow to Dryden. Stokes is
the third strongest in the race.
The Baird people, it is said, are pre-
pared to make an alliance with the
DRYDEN forces. This would be severe
blow to Stokes friends, but it is doubt
full if all OF Baird's votes would go to
Dryden, the Stokes people feeling sure
that they would profit by the elimination
OF Baird.
An Interesting rumor tonight was that
Baird's strong fight was made to brinf
about his recognition as the Republican
leader OF South Jersey.
