Minister of Justice Alberti made a
political address at kjoge. explaining
the real reason for the miscarriage of
the plan to sell the Danish West In
dies to the United States. The ap-
pointment of the new cabinet was
hailed with delight by the Danish
people. But when the propositions Of
the cabinet were introduced in the
landsthing the members Of the latter
body soon proved themselves to be
angry because it looked as though q
complish what the conservative had
proposed and afterwards abandoned.
In 1892 Premier Estrup attempted to
sell the islands. Now Estrup himself
has voted against the sale. Only one

premier is angry because his political
opponents seem to be more successful
than he had been. This campaign al
so developed a breach between the
Liberals and the Social Democrats.
The practical result was, that the ex-
tremes. the Conservatives and the So
cial Democrats, were arrayed against
the Liberals. The plan of these two
parties was to overthrow the new
cabinet But the cabinet will not
yield to a majority Of three or four
men in the upper house of the rigs
dag. and the speaker predicted that
this majority will be blotted out next
fall. In closing he said: It is 25
years since Estrup became a political
plotter in Denmark. and he has been
an expensive man to his party.
