 SESSION.
Three Reports on the Treaty Provid- ing for the Transfer of the Islands to America
 are Submitted

Copenhagen, April 1S-A secret session of the Landsthing was held today. After short intermissious the session closed at o'clock tonight.
 Three reports on the treaty providing for the sale of the Danish Vest Indies to the United States were submitted. The right, constituting the majority, was in favor of deferring the ratification of the treaty until after a vote in which only electors and members of the Colonial Council of the islands shall take part
 The ministerial minority was in favor of the unconditional ratification of the treaty, while an independent group or ten members favored ratification depend- ent upon and following plebescite of the inha bitants of the islands.

The caucus was stormy and it was difficult to hold the members of the opposition in check and to prevent them from modifying the majority re- port and making 1t less acceptable to the ministry.
 The three reports as above described were finally submitted.
 A public meeting of the Landsthing will probably be held next Tuesday. when the The Folkething will decline to concur in the report The ministry and members of the Rigsdag consider the appointment of conference committee likely, while compromise on the report of the group of ten Is probable

STUDENTS STIR UP STRIFE.
Russia Kept in Turmoil by Their
 Actions.

Correspondence of Associated Pre5s.) )
 St. Petersburg, March R.-The St. Petersburg University and number of other higher educational institutions were reopened yesterday. The attendance was light and bottles of ill-smelling chemicals were opened in many of the lecture roms.
 Students reports gave the total number of arrests in Moscow during the last two or three weeks, as 1,S00. They anticipated the exile to Siberia of the greater part of the four-hundred students who offered the government armed resistance in the University of Moscow. Professor Tim iriaseff at Moscow, Is reported to have refused to cooperate in netting out pun ishment to students, on the ground that his lecture room had been filled with strange persons, whom he tok to be spies, while his former diligent students were nowhere to be seen
 The turbulent clements continue to util- ize the theatres as places for the distri- button of revolutionary literature. At Nijnli Novgorod, during the recent cele- bration of the birthday adversary g of Gogol. the Russian author, leaflets were thrown from the gallery of theatre at a moment when the place was darkened. The ushers picked up the packages and began distributing them, thinking they were theatrical notices.
 From many towns it Is reported that political prisoners are generally resorting to starvation tactics in order to force their release or obtain d hearing. Forty eight persons thus secured their release short time ago, from detention prison, in this city, where they had been held without an inquiry for nearly year. Six others have so reduced their strength as to necessitate their removal to a prison hos pital In the great transport prison for condemned criminals here. which is now filled with political prisoners. the war dens are seeking to dissuade their charges from refusing food by promising their releasSs shortly.~

Afraid of Water.
ThA Cnrnhill,

The COrnnill. z.-----.-.-
 Once in "a little town in the Cevennes l was called to g. year-old baby; noticing the irritated state of the skin, l askeu the mother if she ever washed nm.
 Washed him?' she replied indignantly, "no. indeed, madame! What makes you think I would do such a thing? He has always been dehcate. but it is not my fault. for I can trubhfully say l nave never touched him with water, hot or cold ,,s
 That the preceding generation had an equal antipathy to performing thelr ap- tutions I discovered one day when lettins my baby boy paddle in the brook: A dear old lady over seventy the nurse or the village, watched him with great iii- terest: then she turned to me and saio:
 There now, and to think you are not afraid of the little dear wetting his pret- ty feet! Why, 1 have never put mine in water since I was born'' I was consulted for a girl who had taken a chill. I ordered a hot bath. Ihe messenger assured me no one would take the resDonsibility of administering so he- roic a remedy. Would l come and SUI per.ntend? 1 agreed to do so, and gave directions to have everything ready by the time I arrived.
 I found the mother and sisters assem- bled at the patients bedside. looking like people prepared for the worst I coaXed the girl into the bath and. tucking up my sleeves, took advantage of the chance of soaping her well. When she had sat d few minutes in the tub, she exclaimed, Why. it's quite nice!'
 After she was snug In bed again. a knock was heard. and neighhor put her head in, her face full of the deepest concern. She said:
 q heard your poor Vasu was to have bath. l have ccme to see if she is still alive"'
 Luckily the girl recovered in few days.

THE METEOR WAS IN DANGER
Emperor Williams New Yacht Has
 an Eventful Voyage.

London. April 1s.-The voyage from New York of the German imperial yacnl Meteor III, which anchored orr hythe' i'll Southampton water yesterday evening; was by no means uneventful. She na'i plenty of bad weather, and once, even the safety of the yacht was endangered. Lieutenant Commander karpf. Emperor Williams representative on board the Meteor. in an interview with represent- ative of the Associated Press, said:
 With strong northwest wind tho yacht proceeded under her own canvas for the first couple of days. leaving the steamer Scotia behind and ultimately los ing sight of her altogether. During the night of April ,. we again picked up the steamer by night signals, and in the evening of April f. We were taken in tow until the ropes were carried away. row. ing was resumed on the following day, when the wind had fallen. The tow rope again parted April 10. in a hard westerly gale.
 hard easterly blow sprang up. Owing to heavy seas the Scotia was only just able to keep steering way. The seas broke over her continually. At o'clock in the morning of April 12. the Meteors bob stay was carried away We cut away the tow rope. hove to and tried hard to se- cure the bowsprit, but we found that to be impossible and the bowsprit was ulti- mately carried away, seriously endan- gering the safety of the yacht and all on board of her We managed, however. to recover the spar.
 "The weather became so bad-that we were obliged to heave to for twenty-four hours. Thereafter, the weather was gen. orally fine. We lowed the rest of the way to port.

Cuban Conditions.

Gen. Leonard Wood in The Independent
 There has been too much coloring of the reports of Cuban sentiment through the instrumentality of men whose knowl- edge of Cuban people has been obtained through the medium of disgruf1tled ad> venturers in Havana and other sea-coase cities. In Havana. especially, we ina great numbers of disappointed Americane Cuban and other people of the adventur1 CT type who are bitter toward both the Cuban people and the military governs ment. It is the way of human nature very often. Instances cannot fail to happen where men are checked in theiv greed for some concession which is irrsg- ular, or undeniably fraudulent. Disap- pointed. chagrined and perhaps in some small degree hopeful of retrieving lost enterprises. they make it their special purpose in life to denounce as tyrannica1 and oppressive the authorities of the is- land-Cuban and American. The same special reason for existence seems also to actuate every man who has been dis missed from government employ because of incompetency or dishonesty. The views of men like these are no criterion. The actual feeling of the Cubans can be ass. eertained only by meeting them. associ> ating with them. in all parts of the iss land. l have yet to meet the governmenf officer or the reputable citizen who has any complaint to make on the ground o1 discourteous or unfriendly treatment.

------------------------ Our Highest Paid Mail Carrier.

Harper's Weekly.
 The biGness of our country is empha- sized every now and then by some ob scure governmental routine. Away off in the Philippines we are delivering mail in canoelike boats. and, on the other hand, a contract was let last week for carrying the mail in Alaska by dog-sleds. The successful bidder was Oscar Fish and his route lies between Eagle and Valdez. distance of 414 miles. He makes two trips a month, and receives nearly s150) a trip or $S5, 900 year. Only 30O pounds are carried peH-trip and this is usually made up of letters, few newspapers. Postofflce Department officials say that the sum paid to Fish is very reasonable when 1t Is considered that he makes the trip by dog-sledge. and that he has the most dangerous route of any mail-carrisr in the world. He has several times been given up for dead by residents of Valdez and Eagle. but so far he has always managed to reach the end of his journey, although sometimes overdue. and occas- ionally very much battered up. He has fallen down precipices, got mixed up in avalanches, and has been starked and frost bitten. but is still happy in risking his lonely life
