Danish authorities agree that the ap-
pointment by the government of Dan
ish consul at kiel is the first fruits
of the kaiser:s visit. The press holds
that with the appearance of a Dan
ish official in Schleswig- Holstein will
tend to cause the Danes to forget the
events of 1864, but asks what Germany
intends to do in return. There are
strong rumors to the effect that the
kaiser intends to abolish all excep-
tional laws against the Danes in
Schleswig- Holstein, but for the time
being the old petty prosecutions con-
tinue.
The directors for the botanical sta
ton at st. Croix, d. w. l., have now
submitted report to the Danish gov

tivating various plants on the islands
From the report it is learned that cof-
fee, cocoa, bananas, oranges and lem
ons can be cultivated in the islands at
good profit Government officials are
more than pleased with the expert
ments and will now introduce these
plants in the islands with view of
establishing fruit and tobacco indus
try there.
While enjoying a promenade on the
Strand boulevard a few days ago,
King Christian, Empress Dagmar of
Russia and Queen Alexandra of Eng

promptly grabbed the intruder by the
neck, and held him there until he was
taken in charge by sergeant who hap
pened by.
