DANISH ARE STILL MAD.
West Indies Much Exercised Over the
 Sale of Island.

New York, Jan. 2.-The St. Thomas. D. W. l., correspondent of The Tribune says that with the departure of the Danish representative of the National Ttdende of Copenhagen, Herr Franz von lessen, of tho Island of St. Croix, whence he goes to New York on his way home, ono would have supposed that this com munity would have settled down to it's normal condition. But the leaven he has set is still fermenting and the feeling is as intense as ever with regard to the sale" question. Had he interviewed those who desired the transfer of these islands, people would have been better satisfied. but it was not until the last day of his stay in St. Thomas that he invited some of the leading pro-sale natives to meet him at the house where he was staying at D. m.
 Naturally when they received the invi- tatlon, they declined. stating that as he had called upon those who were against the sale of the island so should he have called upon them.
 On the second instant. message was sent by cable to the Danish Ministry and Rigsdag confirming. their memorial to the King in 1900 and advising That un, less the American markets were secured by the transfer of the islands, the sugar industry would suffer severely and would have to cease in the near future, prices ruling at present being below cost of

RECEIVED AS EQUAL
FOREIGN MINISTERS HAVE AU-
 DIENCE WITH KwANd sU.
The Emporer Sat stolid and Silent Throughout the Ceremony, Prince Ching Conducting the Exer-
 cises for Him.

Pekin. Jan. 23-The ministers or the foreign powers here have attained the soal which has been their aim since in- tercourse between China and tho powers began. They have been received as rep resentatives of sovereigns equal in rank to the Chinese emperor.
 The audiences yesterday between the emperor and the ministers were held III the innermost large hall Of the fofDlooei' city. The emperor sat upon char De- hind a table. There were four princes at the back of his chair and dozen officials at each side. The dowager em- press was concealed by screen accoro- ing to the stories of the attendants ana remained invisible. .....,-,.-
 The audience chamber was turnisheo ornately, in contrast to the. dingy rooms which served for these audiences uhoer the old regime.
 The secretaries translated the addresses of the ministers. copies of which were handed to the emperor. The replies were delivered by Prince Ching.
 The emperor was silent throughout the audiences. and remained stolid ana lm- passive.
 Formerly the emperor replied to the ministers in Manchu and the prince in- terpreted what he said. Yesterday ne ap- peared as an automaton and the secre- taries of the foreign ministers who were present report that he looked weaker less intellectual and more childish than prior to the siege of the legations.
 Sir Ernest Satow, the British repre- sentative, made the following address:
 My august sovereign has charged me to express to your majesty, his sincere desire to see the independence and the integrity of the Chinese empire main- tained intact, and that the prosperity and happiness of the Chinese people may be hastened by the removal of obstacles to the free exchange of commodities, by the extension of manufactures and by the utilization of the. resources of the soil.
 The wonderful improvements in the means of communication between differ ent parts of the world, through the de- velc pment of steam navigation, railways and teiegraphs, has brought all countries into much closer relations than was pos- sible in former times. Thus the nations ot the world are enabled to profit by the lessons to be learned from each other In government, in methods of education, in the administration of justice ana the ap- plication of the public wealth to the ad- vantage of the whole people. If. under the enlightened rule of your majesty. the barriers which in the past hindered the free and mutual advantageous inter courst of China with the rest of the world be completely removed and her domestic institutions wisely regulated, 1t is certain that China, advancing along the path of progress will attain to a height of prosperity unknown in the past"
 The ministers of the foreign powers en- tered the forbidden. city at the main gate, AI.at,, N..f1 the second gate they entered yellow chairs like those furnished for the prices and secretaries. They walked through the inner courts of the forbidden city and their cortege retired from the city by the east gate.

THE TRIALS OF IRELAND
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF
 COMMONS.
John Redmond Moves an Amend ment Bringing Up All the Griev- ances of the Unhappy Isl-
 and-Wyndham Replies.

London, Jan. 23.-The debate on the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne was resumed in the House of Commons today by John Redmond. Irish Nationalist leader, who moved an amend ment raising ths whole question of Irish grievances He declared that instead of remedying admitted wrongs, the Govern ment had fallen back on the old methods If coercion. The Irish people would yet teach Mir. Wyndham (Chief Secretary for Ireland) to regret his rash refusal to grant the reasonable demands of Ireland in regard to the compulsory sale and purchase of land. There was no country in the world where crime was less fre- quent than in Ireland, yet the coercion act had been resurrected after a decade, and had been ruthlessly applied. Scores. including members of the House of Com mons, had been unjustly imprisoned. and trial by jury had been abolished. The whole intellect of Ireland was against the Government, and in some circum- stances resistance to the Government was a duty and rebellion became merely a question of expediency. Though a hun dred years had passed since the union, the English rule Of Ireland stiIl rested upon force and corruption. The Irish would never be we'll affected until they were masters of their own country.
 Replying to Mir. Redmond, Mir. Wynd- ham declared that no Government expect ed to settle the Irish question, but only

hoped to do little toward improving 1t. He said that the land act of 1881 was too drastic measure, having produced a litigous war which had ruined many peo- pie. The strongest argument against in- troducing compulsion into the purchase and sale of land, MT. Wyndham said, was that such action would provoke every landlord and every tenant to fight from court to court on every disputable point. He reiterated his conviction that the power of the United Irish League was de- clining, that it had only seventy-four branches, and that it was having a pre- judicial effect on economies. The pres ent agitation. he declaredS was the work of few determined persons, and no man who was not a cur would hesitate to take such steps as were open to him to sup press this wretched form of bullying the Government. He was determined, he said. while dealing justly with Ireland. to fight for liberty and the protection of property.

HER INDIGNATION.

Where two or three women are gath
cred together there is sure to be some
conversation about servants.
The following is the substance OF
one housekeeper's recent experience, as
detailed in one Of these conversations:
An East End hostess had Invitations
out for a small luncheon, but on the
morning Of the eventful day her help"
departed, heartlessly and unanimously.
There was nothing to do but to i'm
press into service the wife of the jan
as waitress.
1t was her first experience in this
sort of household duties. and the effect
was to surprise her and render her
somewhat indignant at the dongs OF
society.
Dye moind what Oi had to do,
Pat?" she was overheard saying to her
husband. Sure, an OF didn't moind
waitin' at all, II they'd let me do 1t
roight."
Wouldn't they let you do 1t roight,
Norah?" In asked, with concerned in
| terest
Sure, an they wouldn't. They
wouldn't let me fetch the things to ate
all at once an set 'em on the table
| OF had to bring 'em In one at time
An after Ol brought 'em in they
wouldn't reach for the things! OF had
to pass around to every Teddy at the
table. Och. but the way they wasted
time. They might have got through
an hour sooner. The ways Of these
sassiety folks Is beyant mel"
But Pat sympathized with her and
agreed that there had been a great
waste of time.-From the Pittsburl

HER DOLLS HAD MEASLES.

lowed TO share dinner with the elder
members Of lle royal household. but
was permitted to make her appear

side some particular favorlte. One dag
she sat by a courtly old general. and
after eating some fruit the little girl
turned and gazed up at him. Presently
she exclaimed:
"I wonder you're not afraid to sit
next to me-"
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound of the childish treble.
