NIELs GRON MAKES a STATEMENT
Over Hera to Tell Facts-what the state
Department VIII Say.

Over Hera to Tell Eacts-Nhat the state
Department VIII Say.
Following is the pith of a statement
made by Niels Gron regarding the
Christmas statement:
when, early in February last, the
contents of Mr.. Walter Christmas Sc
cret report to the Danish government
relative to the transfer of the Danish
West India islands to the United
States became public party compris-
ing a large portion of Denmarks best
and most influential men and highest
interests. realizing that since Christ
mas had in the furtherance of the
pending treaty served by direct au-
thority, first, the secretary of state
of the United States. and afterward
the Danish prime minister. Mr.. HOF-
ring, it would be impossible to disas-
sOciate his efforts from the treaty, or
the methods set forth in his report
from the official negotiation; and real
iZing further that If the present treaty
was cOnsummated and permitted to
take effect Denmark would be Obliged
to stand before the world as having
made use of, and the United States as
having accepted, such negotiations as
said Christmas sets forth and de
scribes in the aforementioned report.
and since it was thought that that
would place the people of the two ma
tions in an unfavorable and regrettable
light, L was requested by the party
referred to to journey with all speed
from Copenhagen TO Washington and
lay before the representatives OF the
people of the United States the facts
touching certain parts of the negotia-
tiOns, in order that any further steps
taken by the United States toward
causing the taking effect of the treaty
in question might be done with q full

MACHINE GETS JAR
In Connection With Yesterdays
Republican State Com
mittee Meeting.
YATEs-HOPKINS HIT
HARD
Breaking Away of Mckinney Causes
Sensa-
ton.

| Springfield March 2S.-In connec-
tion with yesterdays meeting of the
republican state central committee
that issued a call for the state con-
vcntion at Springfield Thursday, May
5, il may be said the apportionment
viii make Il convention of 1,499 dele
gates. of whom 513 viii come from
Cook county. The Hates-Hoplins
forcesAve badly worsted in the
tonly three happenings of the meet
| ing of the state central committee
yesterday. One was the practical
abandonment ofthe attempt TO force
a nomination of Congressman Hop
llins as II party candidate for United
States senator at the state conven-
tion. The second was the arrange
ment of the call so as To seriously
handicap whatever chances Senator
Len Small. the Yates candidate, may
have had for the nomination for
state treasurer. The third was the
insertion in the call of a resolution
lforbidding the selection of delegates
to the state convention by county
committees. and when will force
Lieut.. Gov. Northcott to hold a con-
vention i'm Bond county after all and
get himself chosen as n delegate to
the state convention in the regular
way.
This was a-palpable attack on
Lieut.. Gov. Northcott, who recently
had himself chosen Il delegate to the
state convention from Bond county
bv the county committee without
any convention. and the advertised
Tom
where the governors henchman, John
II. Duncan. is preparing to do the
same rhing.
Incidental 10, all this was the
breaking away from the state admin
istration of Committeeman James
Mckinney. of Mercer county. who
formally resigned his place as mem
ber of the state railway and ware
house commission.
McKIrney Gives Yates a JAR.
The Yates party was thrown into
Spasms by the resignation of James
Mckinney. a member of the railroad
and warehouse commission. Gov.
Yates sent out John Oglesby, the fish
agent. to round up his advisers for
consultation. Mckinney was the
chairman of the executive committee
of the republican state central COM
mittee during the campaign of 1900.
He is an honest. efficient man. With
the greatest reluctance Gov. Yates
appointed him as one of the railroad
board. Mr.. Mckinney lives in Mcr-
Ger county. in an anti-Nates district.
He will be member of the state CEN
tl'al committee from his congreSsion-
al district. The position he resigned
is an asset i'm Yates hands. DR.. Hall,
superintendent of the asylum for the
blind ut Jacksonville, was squeezed
out Il few weeks ago. His place, 1T
is believed. will go to DR.. Athon in
return for the votes of the delegates
from Clark county. MckinneNs
place might be given to Joe Bidwell,
chief grain inspector at Chicago, who
held it under Tanner.
Altogether it was not good day
for the Yates-Hopkins combination,
and the stock OF, the Aurora congress
man rs senatorial possibility has
gone considerably below par.
