THE DANISH ISLANDS,

According to a dispatch from Copen-
hagen, the treaty transferring the Dam
ish West Indies to the United States
will be signed in spite Of the agitation
against It. The question Of plebisolte
win not be considered.
There are sufficient reasons for this.
In the first place. vote on the ques-
ton would be in the affirmative, unless
the sentiment has greatly changed
since 1867. in that year vote was
taken on the island Of 81. Thomas, with
the result that i,2A voted for and only
p against the proposed sale. Then the
intelligent people OF the island appeared
anxious TO become citizens Of the Unit
ed states, and presumably they are so
yet, as were the Porto Ricans when the
opportunity presented Itself
In the second place, the contemplated
transfer Is not proposed as q matter OF
benefit for the people, but Of convent
enoe for the home government which
finds Il to It's advantage, In this way to
geek relief from a considerable financial
burden. A great many inhabitants OF
those islands, we fancy are lncompe-
tent to form clear judgment on that
question. Others, as Office holders, may
be interested In the continuation Of the
present status.
The question Of a plebscte may be
raised for the purpose Of delaying ne
gotiatons. But the respective govern.
ments VIII have 10 settle the matter
II Denmark viii sell, and the United
States finds 1t advantageous to buy al
the figure proposed, the transaction
will take place. Traders and office hold
ers who may be opposed to changing
their allegiance viii not be compelled
to do so. The status OF the people will
have TO be considered by Congress, and
the presumption IS that It win be sim
liar to that OF the Porto Ricans.

THE PAN.AMERICAN CONGRESS-.

Some time ago II was feared that the
pan-Amencan congress would be a
complete failure, as far az the orbtra-
ton question Is conceived, but II Is now
reported that a substantial agreement
on that matter has been reached by the
several delegates The basis of the
agreement Il Che Hague convention
aud all The American republics VIII
become parties to chat convention In
addition, number Of states viii sign
among themselves a scheme Of COM
pulsory arbitration, but still accepting
The Hague tribunal and The Hague
procedure This compulsory plan,
however 1t Is said, viii take effect only
among the slgnatory nations and viii
not have the official sanction OF tho
pan-Amerlcan.
This N n great achievement. and
justihes the hope that another import
attn step has been taken, at the close
Of the first year Of the new century to-
ward universal peace II may be said
that The Hague convention itself dd
not bring the definite results that
were hoped for It. But II was splendid
preparatory work for uniyerasl arbltra-
ton, and now the declaration Of all the
republics In this hemisphere IN favor
~ Tho prlnafr1ay a1ppfod ~ iho IIaut,n,
means further progress In the same
direction. And thus little by little,
the cause VIII advance, until the goal
Is reached aud Victory won. Hon, Vol
ney Foster, Of Chicago, was justified in
taking hopeful view Of the result OF
the conventions work, and declaring
that he believes the congress win be q
success, and that 1t will achieve what
II set out to do under the program.
The agreement reached proves the In
fuence Of the United States In the
deliberations Of The ran-American dele
gates, The representatives Of our
country tried from the beginning to per-
suade the other delegates TO accept the
Hague convention as basis Of agree
ment. and In this they succeeded II
ia a compromise, ana one that will rem
der It more difficult for quarrelsome
statesmen to plunge the little republics
into the throes Of war on trivial provo
cations Even an indefinite agreement
to arbltrate Is gratifying, II should
tend TO the preservation Of peace In
South America.

A CHAIR OF oHISnsE,

The report that Gen II, w. Carpen'
ter has endowed a chair of Chinese
In the Columbia University, causes Il
shlyor among some Of our contempor'
aries. They talk Of the "perils Of too
much learning In America"
There is no cause for alarm on this
score. Very few Americans VIII drop
their business and apply themselves to
learning tho 10000 characters or more
that Chinese scholars need for literary
purposes, And many who commence
the strenuous task win give II up, for
more profitable occupations. We believe
It was Or LeggO who said he had stu
died Chinese for 80 years and had just
commenced to master some Of It's frat
principles.
40 the same time, the intercourse be-
tween Asia and America is going to In
crease. II does not hurt to have In this
country seat Of learning where those
inclined TO do 80, can obtain some
knowledge Of Aslntlo languages, This
~ convenient for both missionary and
commercial purposes.
