PRI Vote Is a Tie and Causes Excitement in the Chamber. Aged and Dying Legislators® Trans- ported a Great Distance to Vote Against the Measure in the Upper House. ps Sy COPENHAGEN, Oct. 22.—The Lands- thing to-day rejected the second reading of the bill providing for the ratification of the treaty between’Denmark and 'the United States in regard to the cession of the Danish West Indies to the latter coun- try. The vote stood 82'to 32, a tle. The: announcement caused great excite- ment in the House and demonstrations on the part of spectators. In the voting there was one absentee. The Rightists and two independent Conservatives opposed the bill. The Leftists and six independent Conservatives supported it. The vote was takep without debate to-day and the re- sult was greeted with mingled cheers and shouts of disapproval. Crown Prince Frederick, all the Minis- ters and many members of the diplo- matic corps and members of the Folke- thing were present. The public galleries were crowded. \ The Cabinet held a meeting immediately after the rejection of the bill and it was agreed that the action of the Landsthing did not necessitate their resignation. The Finance Minister intends to send 10 the Danish West Indies to investigate the situation with a view of assisting the islands in developing better economic conditions. The syndicate which recently promised to help the islands has been re- cuested to submit its plans and prepare to carry them out as soon as possible. The predominant sentiment throughout Denmark is undoubtedly pro-sale and the rejection of the treaty is attributed chief- ly to a domestic political effort to em- barrass the Government and bring about the resignation of the Ministry. The resuit of to-dav‘s vote was doubtful until the last moment. Ome member had not taken a definite stand and it was un- certain whether two sick members would be able to attend. The ages of these men, Thygeson and Raben, are 97 and & years, respectively. Both had been expected to cie for several weeks past. They were both bedridden at their homes, 150 miles from Copenhagen, but they were brought to the city. Prominent anti-sale political leaders were sent to transport them here. The sufferers, accompanied by physicians, were carried into a saloon car, which was 10lled on a ferry-boat, on which it crossed from Jumand. After their arrival at Copenhagen they were met by leading anti-salers and were driven in carriages to & hotel. There the two old men were guarded and nursed overnight and were cventually carried to their chairs in the Landsthing hall an hour before the meet- ing. They had a prompter on hand to assist them in voting. Long before the hour fixed for the meet- g of the House the streets Were crowd- ed with excited seekers for admission. ‘Thousands were turned away. The hall and galleries were packed. The vote was taken amid suppressed excitement and the announcement of the result was greeted with a storm of cheers and hisses. * The exhibitions of joy on the | part of the anti-sale men was almost un- bounded. The disorder. was not sup- | pressed for a considerable time. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—The State De- partment was to-day advised of the ac- the aty of cession. The action caused little surprise, for, as already indicated in these dispatches, the advices received from Co- penhagen indicated that not until one or two members of the Landsthing who were il had so far recovered as to be able to attend the sessions would it be possible to succeed with the measure. From the press account of the vote it appears that one of these ill members unexpectedly appeared and turned the tide. Assuming that to-day’s action is final for the present session, the officials here are disposed to view the situation philo- sophically, resting in the belief that it will only be a short time before Denmark will tire of making good a deficit in the reve- nue of the islands and let us have them. It is probable, in view of the closeness of the vote in the Landsthing, that the Danish Government will decide. to make another attempt to secure the approval of the treaty at a more auspicious time. This may be accomplished by the simple device of negotiating with the United States an amendment to the treaty -ex- tending the time allowed for the exchange of ratification of the original treaty. This could be done by Denmarx without refer- ence to the Rigsdag. But as the treaty has been ratified by the United States Senate the amendment in our case neces- sarily would take the shape of a separate treaty and would require approval by the Senate, as_in the case of the original convention\ There is some reason to be- ileve that a few Senators, how many cannot be told now, who were opposed to the cession last session, but made no at- tempt to prevent ratification because of reluctance to break up the order of busi- ness at a critical moment, may now feel at liberty to oppose the amendment in case one were presented. This contin- gency is now under consideration. —_——— SILENCE AT ST. THOMAS. People Make No Demonstration Over the Landsthing’s Action. ST. THOMAS, D. W. L, Oct. 22—The rejection to-day by the Danish Lands- thing of the treaty providing for the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States has been received in St. Thomas and up to the present time there has been no popular expression of feeling or dem- onstration. The local press has not yet tommented on the matter. A large sec- tion of the population of the isiands is greatly disappointed at the receipt of the news, believing that its hopes of pros- perity have been shattered. A sinaller but strong section of the islanders is Jjubilant and hopes for a renewal of pros- perity under the old flag and with the aid of the motherland. Some anxiety is felt as to what course the laborers of the island of St. Croix will take, the feel- lnf there being decidedly in favor of the sale. —_— Marine Innocent of Crime.

DECISION Ruling of King INVOLVES PERILOUS PRINCIPLE Oscar in Samoan Claims Case Cannot Be Accepted as a Prece- dent by the United States Glovernment ERLIN, Oct. 22.—The German Foreign Office confirms the re- port from Washington that King Oscar of Sweden and Norway has decided the Samoan arbitra- | tion in favor of Germany. The Foreign Office is not yet ready to make public the terms of the decision. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—An intimation has been recelved here that King Oscar of Sweden, who is acting as the arbitra- tor of the issues between the United States, Germany and Great Britain grow- Ing out of the Samoan rebellion of 1899, will decide that the facts presented to him in the briefs of counsel, which have been pending for nearly a year, warrant him in proceeding to assess the damages sustained by foreign residents of Samoa as a result of the landing of a combined force of American and British sailors and marines and the destruction of property incident to the ensuing fight with. the tebels. By the terms of the treaty under which the three powers agreed to submit these claims to arbitration the arbitrator was first to declare whether the Americans and British were at all liable for dam ages, and if =0 he was to determine the amount of that liability. He has, it is un- derstood, concluded to decide the first question in the affirmative, though it is stated here that no official notice to that effect has yet been conveyed to our Gov- ernment. CLAIMS OF NATIONS. The next step is to fix the amount of the damages, and this must be done by King Oscar on the basis*of the facts now to be presented by the representatives of the governments concerned. The German claims are far larger than the others, amounting to §103,918, while the American claims are '$77,605and the British only $6285. There are also small claims of na- tions not party to the arbitration’ that may be included in the final judgmient. It is not the amount of money involved in this approaching decision of the arbi- trator that concerns the Government of the United States, but rather the enun- ciation of a principle which if accepted a¢ a precedent would be unpalatable and would so seriously restrict the assertion of American rights in foreign countries in case of revolution or rioting, jeopardiz- ing the lives and property of our citizens, that it would amount to the total with- drawal of our protection. This cannot be admitted, and so it may be positively stated that while the United States Government will accept the arbi- tration loyally and pay any damages as- sessed against it, it will absolutely refuse sjpsiesfeefeiriieiiieieiiolimimieininiie @ CARGRSSES GOVER LAKE'S SURFACE Animals Fleeing From Forest Firés Perish in Water. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 22.—When _forest fires| ‘were raging through Clark County last month little thought was given to the Gestruction of animal life which they |, caused. It now. appears that hundreds of deer, bears, cougars, wolves, foxes and emaller animals were destroyed by the forest holocaust. L. E. Duval, a North- ern Pacific timber cruiser, found a lake last week in Clark County the surface of which was literally covered by the car- casses of animals which had sought shelter in it from the flames and the smoke. The lake lies in a deep hollow between hills. The fire had encircled it at a great distance, crowding toward the lake by degrees and at last driving every Lving animal from the surrounding weods into the water to be either drowned or smothered. Duval says that for two &cres the water is completely covered by carcas€es and in places they are two and three feet deep. Feroclous animals evidently lost {heir fierceness, mingling freely with foxes and deer in their effort to escape destruection. Probably the only strgggle was for lodg- ment on the backs * animgls already - g - ROYAL ARBITRATOR WHO HAS DECIDED THE SAMOAN CLAIMS __?ASE. TV B * to be bound ‘by such a principle or to recognize it as establishing a precedent. Otherwise the United States Government could be held liable for enormous dam- ages in cases where it lands troops upon the isthmus of Panama resulting in a col- lision with rioters or rebels, even though the Government is solemnly bound by treaty to preserve free traffic across the isthmus, DANGER IN DECISION. For it is pointed out that similarly the United States was bound by a treaty in the case of Samoa to preserve the integ- rity of the titular government, and it was in the course of an effort to dis- charge this duty that the claims were originated.. If our naval vessels cannot interfere to preserve life and property in the presence of a specific treaty, of course they would be still more helpless without a treaty, and they could not land marines in any of the West Indian or Central or South American ports in any emergency without risking liability for heavy damages. These conditions will lead to the declination to recognize the decision as a precedent, and, incidentally, to the submission of the next similar case to The Hague tribunal, in the hope of another and different decision. (TARIFF DEFENT WORIES KNSER German Ministry Ignores Debate in Reich- stag. BN Liberals Demand Dissolution and the Socialists Jeer. —_— ' BERLIN, Oct. 2.—Neither Chancellor von Bulow nor any Minister attended to-day’s session of the Reichstag. The debate on the grain schedule of thq new tariff bill was continued, but the speakers faced a row of-empty seats in the Min- isterial tribune. Von Bulow has suggested that the Cabinet show its entire indifference t the majority treatment by simply stay~ ing away, for the present at least. Poli- ticians of all parties are in a state of ex- tement over what the Ministry will do and all kinds of stories are in circulation. One that bears a semblance of authority is that Emperor William and Von Bulow considered the situation for two hours Jast night and that his. Majesty agreed that the Government was unable to re- cede from its position unless the Conser- vative and Centrist parties first show a disposition to compromise and that it was inexpedient to dissolve the Reichstag. A variation of this account of the audience is that Emperor Willlam expressed dis- pleasure at the way the bill was man- aged and that Von Bulow showed a firm attitude.y * All the Liberal newspapers demand that the Government dissolve the Reichstag ahd the Socialists jeer at the proceedings in the Reichstag as farcical and point to the small influence which Parliamentary decisions have on the Government. The Agrarian organs continue to attack the Government's - position and some mem- bers of that party threaten to introduce amendments reducing the industrial duties. Altogether the situation is greatly con- fused, but the Ministry seems determined to preserve its independence toward Par- liament and renounce the existing com- mercial treaties in December, preparatory to fresh negotiations for treaties. . The Reichstag discussed the minimum duties on barley and oats, which the Government bill places at 72 cents and $1 20 respectively, and.which are fixed in the committeé bill at $1 32 each. The So- cial Democrats moved to make both bar- ley and oats free. The debate was not concluded. SAYS HOME-SEEKERS « ARE DEPRIVED OF LAND Colonel Mosby Reports to Roosevelt That Stockraisers Should Be Ousted. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Colonel John S. Mosby, special agent of the Interior Department, called upon the President to- day and laid before him the result of his investigation of the illegal occupation of public lands in Colorado and other West- ern States by stock raisers. Colonel Mosby told the President that millions of acres of public land that ought rightfully to be open to the home- stead settler were occupled by stock rais- ers. After concluding the investigation it is making, the Interior Department will oust such stock raisers as are not occu- pying the public lands lawfully. i ot s De Witt the General’s Name. BERLIN, Oct. 22.—Dr. Dickle, pastor of the American church here, conversing with the Boer generals Saturday, asked General Botha why he was going to America, and he replied: “Because ' many of the most prominent men in the United States are of Dutch descendants and therefore sympathize with us.” ] “Yes,”” sald General De Wet, “many cousins of my family are in America.” Dr. Dickie said he had never heard of a De Wet in the United States. “The name is spelled De Witt,” replied the general. ‘“‘Most of the De Witts in America are distant kinsmen of mine.” ey Appointments Will Be Deferred. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Only in a few émergency cases will the President an- nounce the appointments befgre the con- vening of Congress in December. This decision has been reached by the Presi- dent and his Cabinet advisers in order that successful applicants may not be put to the expense and annoyance of‘furnish- ing two bonds for the same office Within a period of two or three months.

C. T. U. convention to-day. Both were adopted. The first} was in effect: ““That we stand committed to the prin- ciple and practice of compulsory sclentific temperance instruction for all pupils in all publicechools of this country. We urge our organization everywhere to work for 8004, well-graded textbooks on this sub- Ject and to oppose books that fail to_teach | total abstinence as revealed by modern | sefence.” | The second was: “That we respectfully | differ from the statements of President ! Eliot of Harvard University, that.the at-| tempt to teach total abstinence in the| public schools has been an injury to the teachings of science, imasmuch as ideas concerning the effect of alcohol were taught which could not be proved, and re- | mind the public that the teaching on this subject in our public schools has the ap- proval of men of acknowledged eminence In science' and has never been proved false. We belleve that its removal from our schools would be a national calamity, which we pledge ourselves to do every- thing in our power to avert.” Invitations to hold the next national convention at St. Louls were received. Mrs. E. B. Ingalls, superintendent of the department of anti-narcotics, submitted a report which wags in part as follows: In a circular sent out at the beginning of the vear I sald: ‘It we work quietly, easily and keep at it, the cigarette will be driven out of existence in ten years.” A large number of tire members of the W. C. T. U. took up the study of this question and the results are mar- velous. Leagues have been formed, lectures given, sermons preached and this country aroused as never before. A very careful statistical examination has been made by educators of boys drawn by lot. This table shows that the average efficiency of non-smokers is 95 per cent: that is, 95 per cent out of 100 would probably acquire a good education. On the other hand, only six out of 100 cigarette smokers could hope to battle suc- cessfully against the mental inefficlency pro- duced by the cigarette habit. Of smokers 60 per cent had poor memories, 40 per cent were untruthful, 60 per cent had bad manners, 90 per cent were slow thinkers, Our rallying cry is, “Five million boys pledged sgainst the to- bacco habit befors November, 1903.” Fhis year we have pledged 40,932 boys and many girls. 3 The report of Mrs. A. E. Carman of Tllinois, superintendent of medal contests, set forth that nearly 4000 medal contests have been held during the last year. Miss Elizabeth W.- Greenwood of New York, superintendent of the evangelist depart- ment, in her report said, among other things: “This department is yearly assuming larger proportions. Figures do not tell the whole story, but they strive to show the ever-growing demand for the uplift- ing work of the evangelist. The past year shows a record (and only sixteen State: give figures) of 26,260 evangelistic meet ings, 14,485 visits, 5268 pledges, 1066 conven- tions, 733 addresses before socleties, on ships, in lumber and mining camps, coffee houses, gospe] missions, prison gate mis- sions, before newsboy and bootblack mis- sions, sailors’ rests, rescue homes, settle- ments, etc.” Railroad Building to Be Rushed. SAN JOSE, Oct. 22.—Work on the San Jose and Saratoga Electric Railway is to be rushed, and the road completed for business in ten months. This is the state- ment made by B. F. Granger, the general manager, who will leave for the East in a few days to order the material. The sur- veys to Saratoga are about completed. Construction will be commenced at the Market-street end of the line at the broad-gauge depot, and the work extend- ed toward Saratoga. Three hundred men will be employed in building the road. The cars are to be of high power and capable of runnfng thirty miles an hour. From San Jose to Saratoga and Los Gatos the time will be thirty-five minutes. wxorgs or Crown Prince to Visit San Jose.
