Chances Against Ratification
of Danish West Indies
Treaty About Even
DENMARK MAY NOT ACCEPT
Line Of Division in the Riesdas So
Marrow That Approval Depends on
Two or Three Sick Members Who
May Not Be Able to Be Present
When Vote Is Taken.

washington. Oct, 1S.-Advices re-
ceived here, while not fully confirmed
and privately circulated in the Danish
West Indies are to the effect that the
Ichances against acceptance by the DAN
ish rigsdag treaty of cession OF tho
United States make it appear the fate
of the pending treaty is really very un
certain. 1t is said so narrow is th'
line division between the parties in the
rigsdag that approval Of the treaty
practically depends on the state OF
health Of one or two members and 1t is
intimated il the measure is to succeed
lat this session, the government must
press it to vote before one OF tho
convalescents is able to return to his
Legislative duties and cast an adverse
vote. Nevertheless even should the
movement towards cession fail at this
meeting Of the rigsdag. it is not
doubted that in the very near future
the islands must become the property
OF the United States. 1t can not be
too clearly stated, however, that the
United States has not the slightest idea
of using compulsion to this end, being
satisfied that the people of Denmark
eventually will be moved by purely
economic considerations to dispose OF
the islands.

MEXICO NOT PLEASED.
Papers Comment Sharply on Decisio,
of Hague Tribunal.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 1S.-El Tiem-
po, leading clerical daily paper here,
comments sharply on the decision of
The Hague tribunal III the matter oe
the Pious fund. In a leading article Ell
TEMPO says the court might have
condemned Mexico to pay an amount
which would have ruined her without
hesitation, and parodying the celebrat-
ed phrase of Let nations perish, but
let principles survive as IL the future
OF the country were to be "subordinated
to the prejudices or four old men bur-
led in their studies and who do not
know thru how many years of self
sacrifice Mexico has had to pass to ac-
cumulate the sum in question: which 1t
intended to use to give increased inn
petus to its progress, but which by a
stroke Of the pen 1T is forced to deliver
to California bishops. who, as the ar
bitrators we'll know, will employ in
anything but Improvement Of the un-
fortunate Indians in whose behalf they
have claimed it"
Ell Impartial. liberal morning pa
per. comments at length on the decision
which" 1t says, proves that the ar
bitrators We're, tho highly respectable,
not superhuman, altho they made n
sufficiently meritorious effort to be inn
partial in declaring the interest must

ANTHRACITE is IS LOWER.
New York Retailers Trying to Main
tain Price, However.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Wholesale deal
ers quote prices s4 and SIS lower on the
ton for hard coal than they did two
days ago. yet very few of them admit
that they have any coal for sale. The
prices for anthracite are $15 and SIG.
Offers Of S12 were being made, but so
far no dealer has been found who has
booked orders at this price. The retail
dealers association is still trying to
7n.liasgin prices at $40 and s21 for hard
coal and SIS for soft. President Smoot
says they will hold meeting Monday
to readjust the scale.
Some dealers said today that If the
miners resumed work on Thursday, as
expected. prices should begin to go
down by next Monday. 1t was ex-
planned that the drop would be gradual
for some time owing to the tendency
Of the middlemen to keep up the high
prices as long as possible. One repre-
sentative coal dealer said that he be-
lieved that it would be some months
before the prices got down to the nor
NAL scale.
The coal carrying railways have been
preparing for several days in view of
the anticipated settlement of the strike
to handle the output of the mines as
soon as they are open. An officer of
one Of the roads estimates today that
there are $4,000 cars now within easy
distance of the anthracite region.

IRISH LEADERS AT BOSTON.
Redmond, Dillon and Davitt Come to
Address United League.


Boston. Mass, Oct 1S.-On the
steamship New England. which arrived
from Queenstown and Liverpool yester-
day, We're John q. Redmond, NJ. P.'
chairman of the Irish parliamentary
party, and president Of the United Irish
League; John Dillon, Nj. p, for East
Mayo, and Michael DaNitt. They are to
address the members OF the United
Irish League, which holds.its national
convention in this city beginning sun
day night. Mr.. Redmond sid:
"The United Irish League is the rul-
ing power in Ireland today, as truly as
ever the Land League was. The gov
ernment played into our hands by the
coercion policy and now the country is
aroused. We are on the eve of a settle
ment of the Irish land question, and
after that national self government will
speedily come to Ireland. The Irish
party now in the house of commons is
the only real opposition in the English
parliament. and I believe the day Is
near at hand when ii will have the con-
trolling influence in Great Britain.
Hundreds of Irishnen are imprisoned
under the coercion act without receiv-
ing any trial by jury. But nobody cares
for imprisonment under these circum-
stances. The more the people are at
tackled the higher their spirits rise"
The only comment he made on the
forcible expulsion OF John O'Donnell,
NJ. p, from the house OF commons and
the reinprisonment of Patrick A. Nc
Hugh. NJ. p, was that it showed that
the opposition to the English govern
ment in the commons is, as usual, led
by the Irish party.
