1t is strange but true that in prosperous

Messrs. Knox and Wilson are two men

slightest intention Of leaving the cabinet.
and from all that can be seen now. both
OF them will remain until the end OF the
present administration.
The unreliabilitv OF the Cortelyou re-
port appears from the fact that he has
already overstayed the time set in the
rurnor FOR his resignation. He has fully
recovered from his illness and been back
at his desk for several days. The Presi-

The report from Chicago is that Secre-

Statement in Regard to Mail Pay as
Fixed by Subsidy Bill.

Washington, March 13.-The Secretary
of the Treasury today sent to the Senate
a statement fror1 the Commissioners of
Navigation in regard to the mail pay al
affected by the ship subsidy bill The
Commissioner says:
Maximum rates Of mail pay are pro-
vided by the ship subsidy bill and
authorized by the act OF 1891. In some
instances the maximum rates proposed
are higher and In others lower than the
maximum rates under the act Of 1891
while in some instances they are SUBJ
stantially the same"
The rates proposed by the pending bill
are lower at the outset in every In
stance except in the general subsidy pro-
vided for five years for new vessels going
to ports more than 5000 miles distant
from the United States than were pro-
posed by the subsidy bill OF last Con-
gress. He says, however. that a con-
siderable increase In American ship build
ing for several years would have reduced
the rates under the former bill.
The bill of 1929 provides for subsidy
contracts for fifteen years for ALI YES
sells. The present bill does not provide
for general subsidy contracts.

FEARS OF rNsuRREcT1oN.
Negroes Of Danish West indies Said
to BE Threatening Trouble.

Copenhagen, March 1S.-The treaty pro.
viding for the sale of the Danish West
Indies to the United States came up for
the first time in open session in the Fol-
kething today.
The Premier and Foreign Minister DR..
Deunt1er. said Denmark acted in the
best interests of the islanders in negotia-
ting the treaty. Denmark. in fact. was
merely receiving compensation for her
obligations In connection with the is
lands. The United States had acted In
the best faith and with friendliness
throughout the negotiations.
The Minister felt assured the great re-
public could and would give the Islands
better position in the world.
Confidential reports received here from
the Danish West Indies declare there is
intense excit sment among the negroes of
those islands over the sale owing to their
belief that II will mean universal SUN
rage and off1ce-holding. There are fears
of insurrection and serious trouble. ac-
cording to these reports, II the treaty Is
defeated.

Vetoed by Montague.

Richmond, Va, March l3.-Governor
Montague today vetoed the joint assem-
bly, resolution appropriating 100000 for
pensions for Confederate veterans on con-
stitutional and technical grounds. His
message says in part: The justice and
eXpediency of pensions are not involved.
All are agreed that the State should do
its utmost to aid the needy and deserving
veterans. but all must concede that the
needy and deserving alone should be the
recipients of the money appropriated. The
present law is far from satisfactory. re-
sulting in irregularities and injustice
which should not be possible under any
future pension legislation.
