SENATE AGREES TO
WEST INDIES TREATY

Washington, Sept. 9.-The treaty
providing for the purchase from Den
mark of the Danish West Indies for
$4,000, 900 was ratified by the senate.
There was no roll call and less than
half a dozen senators, including Sena-
tors Norris, Jones and Clapp, voted
against it.
Favorable action on the treaty at
this session of congress had been
urged strongly by the administration,
particularly because of the influence
it might have on the situation in Den
mark, where the lower house of par
lament has approved it and a fight is
being made for ratification in the up
per house.
The vote followed several hours of
debate. An amendment by Senator
Norris to reduce the purchase price
from $25, 100000 to S10,0 00, 900 was de-
feated and the treaty was approved
just as it was signed by Secretary
Lansing and Minister Brun Aug. 4.
