Uncle Sam Ready to Take Over the
Islands.


Islands.
Washington, Feb 9.-The government
here does not regard the question of
the cession of the Danish West Indies
as closed by any means. It is said
that certainly the negotiations have
not been closed by any act of the
United States and if Denmark has
halted in the transfer ii was from in
ternal considerations. The conditions
which caused the delay can be changed
only by the Danish government. Tech
nically the United States has negoti-
ated a treaty with Denmark for the
cession of the islands, and not until
next June will the period of time al
lowed for the exchange of notifications
expire. At any time before that date
the Danish government is free to ratify
the treaty, and as this has already been
done by the United States senate the
negotiations would close with success
The administration has practically as
sured itself that the treaty could not
be again ratified by the senate, as it
stands, owing co objections to its form
rather than to the principle involved.
and this probably will be the last OPP
portunity Denmark will have to effect
the sale under these conditions.

COVERED UP THEIR CRIME
House of Murdered italian Blown Up
With Dynamite.

Portage, Pa. Feb. 9.-An explosion
Of dynamite in the fruit store and
home of Tony Pasquello, an Italian.
shortly after midnight, completely
wrecked the building and painfully in
jured twelve occupants of the house.
After the explosion Pasquello and his
wife were found dead in the ruins.
Pasquello's head was blown off and
deep cash in it looks as if il was
made with cleaver. A similar injury
on Mrs Pasquello's head leads to the
suspicion that they were robbed and
murdered. A son says $500 was secreted
in the house. and this cannot be found.
Shortly before the explosion a man
was seen running away from the
building. The conclusion damaged a
number Of other buildings.

Gigantic Deal Reported In

ENeLIsHMAN HEADS SYNDICATE.

Property Is Considered One of Most
Valuable In Texas-Refineres Will

Principally Shipped to England.
New Orleans, March 1S.-Colonel S.
F. B. Morse, of the Southern Pacific
railroad, brings back with him from
the east news of one of the most gi-
gantic oil deals yet recorded anywhere
in the south. A powerful interna-
tional syndicate, the executive haed
of which is Colonel Alexander Cor
don, of London, has purchased tract
of land in Hardin county, Texas, ag-
gregating 1000 acres. This is in what
is known as the Saratoga field. The
price paid for the land is understood
to run away up into the millions. The
syndicate's tract is only 10 miles from
the pipe line now terminating at Sour
Lake. This line will be extended
into the oil fields as will also the San
ia Fe and Southern Pacific railroads.
The former road is now but miles
from the syndicate's tract
Reineries will follow the exporta-
ton of the field and much of the prod
uct, if not all of it, will be exported
to England.

Contribution to Celebration of Ninety.
Third Birthday.
New York, March 18.-As part of
his own contribution to the recent
celebration of his ninety-third birth
day and the twenty-ffth anniversary
of his election as pope, Leo XIII wrote
a latin poem which has been translat.
ed for the current number of the In
dependent. The translation follows
Leo, now sets thy sun; pale is its dy-
ing ray;
Black night success thy day.
Black night for thee; wasted thy
frame; Iife's flood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Death casts his fatal dart; robed for
the grave thy bones,
Lie under the cold stones.
But my freed soul escapes her chains
and longs in flight
to reach the realms of light
That is the goal she seeks; thither
her journey fares;
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers:
That with the citizens of heaven Gods
face and light
May ever thrill my sight;
That I may see thy face, heavens
queen, whose mother love
Has brought me home above
To thee, saved through the tangles
Of a perilous way,
l lift my grateful lay.

Washington, March 1S.-The senate
met at II O'Clock today and soon there
after Mr.. Money (Miss.) in accordance
with his notice previously given, spoke
on the Indianola, Miss, postoftlce case.
Mr.. Money said that it was the duty
of the postmaster general to heal the
breach that had been created.
"The department has made these
people of the south hate the administra-
ton"
He said: THE people of the south
hoped Mr.. Roosevelt would be an
American president, but instead he is
the president of the black belt"
His appointments, he said, had caused
general disgust. He had raised the
question of social equality of the ne
gro.
Mr.. Money said recent appointments
have revived the race question. The
south has tolerated negro office hold
ers but does not want any more of
them.
'"This is white mans country and
government"
There was a feeling in the south, he
said, that no coloredl man should hold
office.
