Treaty on Danish West Indies cession to US signed in Washington
The Danish West Indies cession treaty was signed at the state department by Secretary Hay and Danish minister Constantn Brun and will go to the Senate for ratification. The agreement requires approval from both houses and funds from Congress, while the islanders will vote a plebiscite under Danish supervision to express their preference. The article notes the plebiscite is not controlled by the United States and the Danish government will determine islanders’ inclinations before final steps. It also covers a caucus debate on Democratic platform policy with majority urging unity and opposition to anti-principle actions. The caucus resolves Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico statehood admission on equal footing with other states.
