I. sends the follow ' lug In connection with the n-ported ! transfer of the Islands to the I'niled States; "What puixle the average Panlsh West Ind.an more than anything else Ms the Impression which serins to have gained ground In Amerlra and else where that he object to the transfer of these Islands nd that a plebearlte Is nrcessaiy. Apart from the fat that then? are so many different na tionalities In the Panlsh West Indie that It would be a matter of great difficulty to arrive at a Just conclu sion In rase of a plebearlte, II may be confidently nsserted that no such wish has been expressed and If It were pos sible to take a vote, under such cir cumstances. It would be In favor of tie transfer. "That there may have been a feeling aitalnst it sometime ago among a few of the natives Is possible, but this was partly owing to sentiment and partly lo the statement made by the antl-aale party about the miserable condition of Porto Itieo under Ameri can rule. Now that the truth come to light about that Island every mall brings further reports of j its progress, once again as In ISfiT, our 1 Hople are looking forward to the ! change believing that there can be j nothing save pnsxrity for these Isl- J and should It lake place. "Il Is a pity that this slate of feel- Ing of the Inhabitants hns not been j more widely circulated throughout lhe fulled States, so that American might know that they are not taking under their protection an unwilling population a fact which can be sub stantiated by any American who has vhlted the Islands. "There has Ixvn a little excitement here the past few day, owing to a rumor that the sale was "off" at St Croix, as a special telegram sent the financial minister and ribsdug by H6 lending Inhabitants, among whom were 40 planters, representing 40.000 out of 50.000 acres of cultivated land of the Island, praying for the sale, an opposition list was started. "The few property holders that were overlooked refused to sign It. but the officials and a few policemen did o. Hut the opinion semis to be gaining ground that all the opposition has been fostered by Palnlsh speculators In tie hope that should negotiations be declared off and value become fur ther depreciated, they may he able to purchase lands and houses for a song. "The St. Croix Avis, In a letter from the rector of the Angellcan church, expresses the manner In which anti sale signatures were obtained to a list In Raaain, the other town. This list was sent by cable to the prime minis tr of Copenhagen on the 8th Inst. It protest against the telegram sent by the 40 planters and 108 proprietors, already alluded to, characterizing them a American capitalists and asks 'his excellency to use his Influence, to keep St. Croix under the Dalnlsh- flag on condition that the mother country will know how to find means to make the cultivation of sugar which at pres ent finds Itself In a most crtHoaJ pcg. tlon. remunerative to this Island."' Thl Is signed by three Dalnlsh "lanters. two merchant and by 21r other peron. all eminently respetable but not employers of nearly two-third1-of the Island's laborers, who wi'" shortly be without employment unles' some change takes place for even th nrotestants against the sale admit the -rltlcal position of the sugar Industn The general feeling Is that of desp1 f the future of these Islands If tb gale Is not completed.

The government or Holland rout offered In the m st friendly term 10 help In bringing about peace In South Afrt-a. In s communication to the llritish govern ment the Dutch government luggcst :hat II might be permitted to a a 1 ort of diplomatic agent for the Iloer delegate. The government, how -ver. exprely disavows any attempt .' Intervention, and does not mention sny terms. It wa learned by a repret-nta'.ive if the Associate! Press that the Prit lh government Infer that it would not have been approached unless the Dutch authorities were convinced that the Roer del-ga es now In Euroi were willing to accept the cardinal points of th-? Hellish peac- terms so frequently announced In parliament. I.ord RoR.-bery I generally credited with having brought about this m-ve- 1 ment on me pan 01 me iunu s."- ernment. The I'ajiy aiau claims me credit for the initiation of the p-ace movement. That paper say that after (vird Rosebery's speech at Chester field, they sent Dr. IMssvhop on a mission to the continent to Invite the Roer deelgates to a consideration of the basis of negotiation which Lord Rosebry suggested, 'namely, to grant the lloer self-government on the Canadian model; no unnecessary pro longation of military occupation: com plete amnesty to the Boerea and col onial rebel, and grant of money to nab'e th Roers to restart their farm. Dr. BI.wh.op had had a lon on-f-rence with the Boer delegate on the continent, with the exception of Kiuger. According to the paper, Blssehop persuaded the delegates to hold a conference and discuss the proposals. Then followed a visit of Pr.

We have made little progress In the path of genuine (ivlllza.lon a long as we can find no better substi tute for the settling of International disputes than brutal murder of one an other. As a general proposition It may be stated that the nation which refused peaceful arbitration Is responsible for the war which ensue. Britain, hav ing done thl In It dispute with the Transvaal republic I responsible for the extermination of a brave and he roic Christian people. "But let us a4o remember that we are today engaged In shooting down '"hrlstlan Fill pi me whose only crime Is that they believe in the declara tion of independence.

Jan. 28 According to the Vienna correspondent of the Herald, the reception of Mr. Charles M. Schwab at the Austrian capital was a splendid one. The emperor Is quoted a saying that he would gladly welcome the news that any number (of Americans were coming over here and he meant to show that In his re ception of Mr. Schwab. The steel trust's president made a record In IvtOtlntr An Ini-lra t Ion to fha pAIIrt hall All the Invitations had long since ceased and the books of the court were closed. The answer at first was Im possible," but that there Is no 'Im possible" was shown by the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were present.

It may be explained, meaning "bravo." He was given a dinner at Hotel Bristol at which there were present, among others, the hereditary Prince Metiernich.

They went direct from that party to the train a move which rather astonished the guests present, but which Mr, Schwab de scribed as "the way we do things In America." People say that Mr. Schwab com bined a touch of business with a deal nf pleasure and that he found time to talk about the possibilities of the steel Interests In Austria and that questions of an amalgamation of In terests were not foreign to Germans.
