date Ratification of
Convention.

Formalities attending the signing OF
the treaty by which the United States
agrees 70 pay s25,000,000 for th'
Danish West Indies were concluded IN
this city in exactly three minutes yes
terday by Robert Lansing, Secretary OF
State. and Constantin Brun, Danish
Minister to this country.
With the text of the treaty finally
decided upon, Secretary Lansing MADE
a Aving trip to New York from his
home in WATERFOWL, n. Y, and was
met at the Biltmore Hotel by Minister
Rrun. VINO had come from Bar harbor.
In the secretary's apartments the sig
natures of the two diplomats were
quickly affixed to duplicate copies OF
the treaty, together with the State De-
partment seal.
Senate Must Ratify Treaty.
Robert Z. Woolsey, a solicitor in the
State Department, brought the copies
of the treaty from Washington to New
York, and was the only other person
present.

Rigsdag. 49,, emo
The price involved, which IS hve
times that for which Denmark was
willing to sell them in 1902, is eX-
pected to form the basis for the only
serious opposition to the treaty in the
Senate. The Administration expects 70
override the objections on this score
by a portrayal of the great strategic
advantages afforded by possession OF
the islands in the maintenance OF the
Monroe Doctrine.
Since the outbreak Of the war, the
value of the islands as naval base
particularly adapted to the protection
of the Panama Canal has forced ltseli
upon the consideration Of President
Wilson. Naval officers repeatedly have
recommended acquisition Of the ISL

OF ST. Thomas, contingency TO which
many public men were looking forward;
German opposition to the proposed
treaty is said to have caused its failure

ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 3.-A large audience gathered here last night to hear Charles Hughes, who was sched- uled to speak at one of the theatres. His train was three hours late and the candidate was not here to fulfill his engagement when the hour for the maeting arrived. Wm. Barnes, the Republican boss. held the floor until Hughes arrived. Barnes stated that the people demanded deeds to conform with promises .and this ex- emplified the need for Hughes.
 When Hughes arrived he was intro duced by Barnes and proceeded to de- liver his belated speech. He declar- ed he would carry the states of New York, Ohio and Indiana, which state ment was received with prolonged cheering. Hughes declared that the statement that war would follow his election was cruel and unwarranted, He continued his attacks upon the administration and stated that its promises of efficiency have been un- fulfilled.

CARGO VALUED
 TEN MILLIONS
COMPOSED OF DYES AND DRUGS
Captain States Some Beyond Price of
 Other German Rulers.

NEW LONDON, Nov 3.--Captain Koenig of the submarine freighier Deutschland states the cargo of that vessel comprising 500 tons of dye stuffs and drugs is worth $10 600, 900. some of it being beyond precious stones in value. When Captain Koe- mig was asked by reporters regarding the Bremen and the possibility of her having been sunk near the American coast or captured by the British, as had been previously reported, the Captain stated that the Bremen never existed, and her reported departure was a mere ruse to distract the atten- tiOn of the British warships from the Deutschland, which, he states, is the sole submarine merchantmen. The company operating the Deutschland will undoubtedly build others, aa the voyages of that vessel have been par ticularly profitable.
 Captain Koenig states that the sup posed blockade maintained by the British fleet bothered the Deutschland but little, fogs and heavy weather hav- ing been the principal cause of delay. So little did the warships effect the voyage that out Of the 4,500 miles travelled the vessel was submerged but a little more than 100 miles.
 The wireless apparatus ON the Deutschland has been sealed while she is in port and the controversy which threatened over this point has been averted. During her stay here the crew of the Deutschland is living on the interned North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm H.ch is tied up alongside of the 3>"sA containing the return cargo of Deutschland. The materials com losing this cargo are being kept a profound secret.
 Capt. Koenig states that the Kaiser Is looking a little white and drawn, but was not weak when he visited with him on the western front as his guest. The Germans. lie states, ex pect at least another year oG the war and are making preparations to that end
 Capt Xoenig was decorated by the Kaiser with the knighthocd cross of the Hohenzollern order. The King of Bavaria bestowed upon him the order of St. Michael and the King of Wur- temburg the knighthood cross of the Wurtemburg crown. The rulers of two other minor states bestowed crosses of honor upon the captain in recognition of his feat in successfully making the voyage between Bremen and the United States.
 Capt. KOenig announced that he would protest to the United States government against the action of two American fishing boats, which follow ed the Deutschland out into the Ches- apeake and signalled her position to the British warships on her last trip out from Baltimore, and express ed the hope that his protest will pre- vent a recurrence of this action. The captain states that he will make an other trip before the end of the year.
