DELAYS ACTION ON TREATY
Opposition to Sale of West
Indies.

COPENHAGEN. March 16.-The president
Of the Landsthing. DR.. Matzen, who is op-
posed to the sale OF the Danish West In
dies to the United States. seems inclined to
delay consideration of the treaty. He has
called the FIRST meeting Of the Landsthing
for March 19.
The press criticizes his attitude on the
ground that the delay is considered dis
courteous to the United States. II is
thought that a few OF the presidents own
party win support the government. thus in
suring the ratification OF the treaty without
q plebiscite by 4 small majority.

UNEASY HEAD IS EDWARDS
King Proposes various Plans of Per-
sOnaI Enjoyment and oueen
Promptly Disposes of Them.

LONDON, March 15.-tNew York World
Cablegram-speeial Telegrsm.)-King Ed
wards plans have been upset ali around.
Although II has been reported within few
days that he has given up his projected trip
to the Riviera, as we'll as to Ireland, II is
also asserted that he cannot definitely de-
eide about going to Cannes until he finds
out what the queen will do.
She has said that she intends to ac-
company him TO the south OF France, and
her presence, on which he had not reck-
oned, would spoil his personal plans, as
well as deprive his little holiday Of it's In
formal character.
1t is still hoped that the queen may be
induced TO go to Copenhagen to attend the
family birthday celebrations. so as to per-
NIT the king to enjoy himself in his own
way. But the queen has developed sud
den and inexplicable preference for the
Riviera.
The kings visit to ireland really was
abandoned six weeks ago. when II became
certain that a majority of the newly elected
Dublin corporation was pledged to refuse
him civic reception, and the general politi-
cal outlook forbade that public excitement
consequent upon numerous political impris-
onments might lead to hostile demonstra-
tions
But the official announcement that the
visit had been abandoned was timed SO as
to appear as a retort to the demonstration
of the Irish party in the House Of Com
mons Monday over the news Of Methuens
defeat.
The Irish members Of Parliament, so far
as they notice the matter at all, declare
that the cancellation was for the best, as
the king. toward whom they bear no per-
sonal i'll will, was saved the humiliation
and Inconvenience In being paraded through
disaffected country under the auspices of
government hated and despised by them.

"In today's Sun your correspondent

alive and we'll and is postmaster at

mature.

entitled to all the honor that a true
soldier deserves, but be is not the man
who is buried 10 Prospect Hill Gene

of other brave men, is inscribed on the
monument there erected. When this
monument was erected the frat name
OF Carter could not be Obtain o., and Is
consequently left blank IN the iDscrip-

tain his full name, but after the lapse
o. so many years, and go many of bis

His first name may have been known
to but few members Of bis command, as
Mosby's Battalion consisted OF about
900 men collected from sll over the

possible that Mr.. T.. l.. Carter. Of
