Our New Possessions

One of the important acts in the
closing hours of congress was the
ratification by the senate of the treaty
with the government of Denmark for
the sale of the Danish West Indies
Islands to the United States for the
sum Of $25.OOO.O0O. 1t is probable
Denmark will raufy the treaty after
a proper show of opposition as the
islands for years have been a financial
burden to the Danish government
and of no military value to it.
Under the terms Of the treaty,
Denmark would sell to the United
States the islands of st. Thomas. st.
John and st. Croix. together with ad-
jacent islands and rocks. and in
