NEW YOKK, Jan. 2. Interest has been
arouFed by the announcement contained
in the cable message from Copenhagen,
Denmark, that negotiations for the sale
of the Dutch West Indies to the United
States may soon be completed. Captain
Christmas, of the Danish toyal navy, hav
ing obtained the support of several ciblnet
officers in the undertaking.
Carl Fischer Hatifcen, a Danish l.nvjer.
who lives in t West Foity-scventh Street,
this citj, and Is a frienrt 01 capiain
Christmas,, is taking part in the arrange
ments. He fraid in an Interview
"As is generally known, the first ncgo
tiationb tor the sale of the islands to the
United States began in 1SC7. They were
not consummated, and nothing more w.s
done in- that direction until the last jcar
of President Cleveland's Administration. I
saw the Prewdent and Senator Lodge upon
the biibjeU at that time at the direction
of interested persons in Denmark, but the
Venezuelan trouble intervened.
"bout a jear and a half aftei President
McKinlev assumed office I called upon him
and Secretary Sherman It was bMlsved
that the United States would at that time
have paia SS.C0O.000 Tor the islands, and
this ivas the price lived. The war with
Spain intervened, and again eoii-ideration
of the subject ceased.
" t the ccnclu&ion of the war the United
States had gamed Poito Hico. There was,
therefore, lei-s need than before for this
eountrv to acquire the Danish West Indies.
Denmark, however, had 1.0 desire to retain
the islands, as the annual expense of the
colonv to the home government amounts to
about S115.OU0. while there is no torre
sp, nding levonue. owing to the fact that
there is no longer as much impoitation tf
sugar from St Croiv as es.uted before beet
sugar was manufactured in Kurope.
'Capt. V von Chustmas Dirdinck-Holm-feld
(this is Captain Christmas full name)
was oidcied to visit the islands to ascer
tain the views of the Danish residents up
on the subject of a sale foi they have no
right to vote upon the question He made
three vifits during the jivi just passed and
found complete willingiuss that the isl
ands bhould pass under the merican flag
"Then Captain Christmas went to Wash
ington for the purpose or tvplaimng to
President McKinley the course taken by
the Danish Government and informing him
that the islands could 1) aonilirod for
?..0tm.(K,0. explaining that Denmark could
1101 for various reasons, take the initiative
111 oftenng the islands to this country ofli
fiallv at this time.
Captain Chiifatmns was requested by
Seentary Hay to return to Copenhagen and
obtain from his government more definite
instructions. He was asked to stop in
London and call upon Secretary White, of
the United States Legation, who would be
directed to accompany him to Copenhagen
for the purpose of conferring with officials
of the DanMi Government Owing to ill
ness in Mr Whiie'b family however, the
Seorntarv was unable to go
"Captain Christmas proceeded alone to
Copenhagen and reported to his govern
ment the result of his visit Last week he
was ordered to return to Washington, and
expects to sail fiom Hamburg for New
York within a dav or two "
Mr. Hansen denied a report that Admiral
Dewev was acting as an intermediary in

There arc three sketches on this week's
bill at the Grand and. while no one of
them is startlingly good, all proved suffi
ciently amusing to thoioughlv entertain a
trio of holiday audiences jesterday.
Mathews and Harris have the best of these
bits in Will Cressv's "Adam the Second,"
a comedietta with a novel theme and plen
ty of novel dialogue, though lacking m ac
tion Neither Will Mathews nor Nellie
Hams get all possible out of their parts.
Charles M. Seay and Anita Heudrie, a lo
cal girl, are better players, but lose in
their vehicle, "Dollars and Dogs," what
they gain in histi Ionic ability "Mrs. Wil
kins' Boy," the last of the three, begins
as a farce, becomes a musical melange,
and ends as a sidewalk conversation. Mr.
and Mrs Jimmy Barry present the woik
which brought laughter from the assem
blages mentioned. Arthur Rigby clings
to the story of his lovemaking, but pre
faces that portion of his monologue with
ome bright jokes and an excellent parody
on "I'd Leave My Happv Home for You."
while the Carl Dammann Troupe does some
remarkable things remarkably well Worm
wood's Dog and Monkey Circus, undoubt
edly the best of its sort ever seen here,
repeats its hit of last season. The Bio
graph is retained. The bill, as a whole, is
strikingly good. Joseph Hart's Vaude

struck her in the fate.
Her disappearance was not reported until
the following Pundaj. when Mrs. Clifford
Hall, of Norfolk, went to visit her mother
and was informed that she had gone av.ay
Mrs. Hall caused the buildings on the

thorities, who immediately organized vol
unteer searching parties Ponds, woods,
deserted buildings, and twamps were
searched, hut to no avil.
Foul plaj was suspected, and the authori
ties had the cellar of the Brewer nouse
dug up, but no trace of the missing vsoman
was found. Land within a radius of twenty
miies of the Brewer house was thoroughly
scoured.

Brewer, visited the swamp and at a po.nt
about ten rods from the highway found

seems the ideal of a racer, jnst bv that

men, who seem in the pink of condition

Take care of the blood and the body
will take care of itself. It is the blood
which builds the body. The blood in
deed is the body.- A sound body must
oe Daseu pn sound olood.
It is one of the peculiar properties of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
that it eliminates from the blood the ef
fete and poisonous matter which is antag
onistic to health. It also gives to the
blood those elements which are necessary
to its .strength and vitality. Thus by
the use of "Golden Medical Discover-"
purity of blood and power of body have
been atLtined by thousands of sickly and
scrofulous men "and women.
No other medicine purifies the blood
and builds the body as does the "Discover-."
Accept no substitute.
"It gives me much pleasure to testify to the
merits of Dr. rierce's Golden Medical Discov

TACOMA. Wash.. Jan, 2. Steamers from
the north bring news that southeastern
Alaska was visited week before last by
the heaviest storm known In many yeara.
Three feet of snow fell in leas than twenty-four
hours. The storm extended from
Lake Bennett to the coast, and from Prince
William Sound south to the Wrangel Isl
and. The White Pass Railroad Company is
having Us first experience In keeping its
road open by the use of rotary snow plows.
The great niche in the side of the cliffs
which was blasted out to make a right
of wav for a large part of the tweaty miles
between Skagway and the summit was
blow n full of snow. There was danger that
the rotary might Jump the slippery track
and go plunging into the canyon a thou
sand feet below. The last reports say that
the rotaries were able to keep the road
open.
Between Bennett and Dawson the weath
er has continued clear and cold. By thi3
time the lakes arc frozen solid. The tele
graph line has been down between Selkirk
and Dawson for ten dajs The week be
fore it was prostrated by a storm the com
pany received over 43.000 in tolls between
Skagway and Daw ion.
