Citizens OF Danish West Indies
on Verge Of Revolutian.
The United States Nay Be Asked
to Lend . Helping
Hand.
TAXATION CAUSES THE TROUBLE

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
Nov. disqualification with the re-
port Of the royal commission favoring
an enormously increased taxation. is
growing daily. There is now q posi-
bility that the people Of the islands
may take the matter in their own
hands, and that revolution will follow.
A crowded meeting, called by the
most influential citizens for discus
sion of the new recommendation Of the
Danish commissioners, ended in great
disorder following the chief speakers
advice that the people rise in revolu-
tion as did the American colonies
against Great Britain, because Of the
tea tax.
There has never before been such Q
demonstration in the history of the IS
lands. 1t is thought here that the i'm
mediate result will be speedy overtures
from Denmark 10 the United States
with view to bringing about the
long talked of sale of the islands to
the republic.
The most influential people here say
that anything will be preferable to
present conditions. and there is much
talk Of taking matters into their own
hands and appealing TO the United
States for intervention as did the Gu
bans when they were being trsmpled
to the ground by Spain.
In the present excited state Of popu.
Jar feeling it is impossible to predict
what course matters will take. That
n change OF some kind must come
quickly is conceded by the most con-
sentative.
On all sides one hears expressions Of
satisfaction that the American con.
gress Is to convene shortly, as If in
that fact relief was to be loobed for.
1t is with great concern that the
government learned today OF the grave
situation in the West Indian colonies.
IL had been hoped that the people IN
the islands were prepared TO receive
the report of the commissioners re-
gsrdipg the increased taxation in a
spirit Of greater LOYALTY than todsy's
dispatches has proved to be the case.
Although the suggestion Of revolution
is hooted at, yet il is evident that the
situation IL causing the government
profound anxiety.

OPERATE LINE
GENERAL MANAGER GEORGE @.
WALLACE SAYS WILL CARS RUN.

1t is probable the street car com
psny will not be required to tear mp
its tracks on Kentucky. formerly
Court street between Second and
Fourth, although the council ordered
it done last night. The line from
Second to Third has been abandoned
long ago, but cars enough are operated
once a week on Kentucky between
Third and Fourth to hold tho fran
chise, and the company has evidenced
Its good faith by purchasing about
$4,000 worth OF rails, curves and
switches to be put down at Third and
Fourth on Kentucky when the streets
are paved, as on Broadway. The COM
pany cannot be compelled to remove
the tracks on Kentucky between Third
and Fourth according to the company
attorneys.

COUNCIL MUST ACT
Before Increase to Fire Depart
ment is Made
Fire and Police Commissioners to Meet
Monday Night.

There will be no addition to the
central FIRE department until the board
of aldermen authorize the increase,
and this will be done probably at q
called meeting.
The city authorities have seen tn
the fire department is too small, and
all favor an increase. Last night the
council authorized an addition OF
members, but before it can be done
the board Of aldermen will have to
act and the commissioners will then
meet and make the appointments.
The commissioners will meet Mon
day night and before that time it 10
expected that Mayor Yeiser will ap-
point . man to NIL the vacancy caused
by the death of late commissioner Pete
Rogers.

over plans for converting the historic
site into a state park. The commits
sion decided to purchase 30 acres of
land with Al rods front on the river

into driveways, walks, etc, were dis
cussed and an experienced landscaI e
gardener will be employed to do this.
This work will be commenced as socn

NOTHING DEFINITE
Judge LightfoOt Declines to
Commit Himself.
Bond Compromise Will Probably N
Be Settled for Several Days.

Attorney Tom Crice. who represents
Roberts & Co., of New York who are
suing teh city for 80, 900 damages for
loss of time and inconvenience in the
city refusing to pay Off the over the
river bonds several years ago, last
night urged the council to take some
definite action in the matter. He
agreed to compromise for $4,000 and
the council referred the matter to
Ma, or Yeiser and Judge r. T. Light
foot. the latter having been city attor-
ney at the time the bonds were re-
fused. While Judge Lightfoot would
not state anything definite today as to
what he would recommend, he IN
ferred that he would say that the bond
company was not entitled TO anything
more than the expenses incurred in
sending men here. This amounted to
little less than 5000.
Judge Lightfoot will be away for q
few days and the matter will remain
~ 1t stands until his return. 1t is
thought, however, that the city will
finally agree on the compromise.

mp in minor officials who have had di-
visions.

several high officials, but no reports
as to who will be with him tonight
have been received here.
The route taken by .the train is as
follows: From Paduoah the train will
go direct to Hodgenville and an in
spection Of that branch made. Then
the Owensboro brsnch will be gone
over and following this the Ohio Val
ley branch will be worked. the train

ing for the south where the branches
of the Yszoo and Mississippi Valley

spected, the main lines being in excel.
lent condition.

er of the Illinois Central, and his as
sistsnt, Mr.. W. J. Harahan, passed
through the city yesterday afternoon
