FLO ATING ISLANDS IN HALEMAU,

Among varonS papers dealing with ape-

brought about by the eating away OF the

greater. In the island OF 1911, u large cyllu-

apparently by a fountain acting on it from

passed to his eternal rest last evening after
n brief illness We nrke this announcement
with regret and condole with the bereuved
ones.
Born in St. Croix 76 years ago, Mr.. Brew
er came to St. Thomas in the earl sos since
which time he made this island hjs hom4,
following a commercial career aud filing re-
sponsible situations in firms that have long
since gone out Of existence. He was for
about 3 years and up TO his death Account
ant of the st. Thomas Savings Bank, Audi
tor of the National Bank Of the Danish West
Indies, Agent Of the North British and Mer-
c~antile Insurance Co., a Poor Commissioners
for over 40 years, and the Oldest Warden
Of All Saints Church.
In December last he celebrated his Gold
en- We'd ling, when he WAS decorated by His
Majesty the King, who created him Knight
or Dannebrog, an honour which he priced
very highly.
HIS death puts into mourning q large
family to which he was most affectionate aud
devoted, and while their sorrow at the loss
sustained must naturally be great it will be

As the Copenhagen Tree port has been

In connection with the proposal that "a

Merchants Association has received and
published y number OF very interesting com

press are also of value. Importers, as Il
rule, appear to be strongly in favour of the
idea, while manufacturers are divided III
opinion, many OF them being opposed to it.

The tentative suggestion recently put
forth bv the Merchants Association OF New
York us to the advi,nbility of starting a cam
pligm to secure free port privileges for soma
,rtion of the vast waterfront of New York
has naturally given rise to much comment
most of it favourable to the project, bat with
here and there an adverse opinion. The
subject has been agItnted ut intervals by
seye.a} of the coast cities Of the United
Sta es. Eve years ago Boston was consl-
deriny whether u free port would be M adj
vantage to it or not. Nearly 20 years ago
q project for the establishment OF a free port
at Montauk Point, on the easterly extremity
of Long Island, went 50 far rs to be present
ell to Congress, but nothing ca ~ Of It. In
the case of New York CITY, %howevo", there
en- be little doubt that if the powe fnl Aler-
chants Association, the important Chamb7
of Commerce of the State Of New York. and
the various other influential organ ttions
representing the mercantile community,
should decide TO promote the project for
some region adjacent to New York, suparb
harbor this decision would carry great weight
and the subject would at onc9 become one
of the most interesting and important to be
considered at the next regular session OF
Congress
The free port is not to be confused with
the bon led warehouse system rs untaln-
ed in the United States, Great B%rrai1, France
and other countries; tue bonded warehouse
