Treaty for Danish West Indies signed by Hay and Danish minister
A Washington dispatch reports the Danish West Indies sale to the United States was signed by Secretary Hay and the Danish minister on Friday and awaits Senate and Danish Rigsdag approval. The $5,080,000 purchase is likely to be approved, with no significant opposition, as Denmark seeks to rid itself of the islands and the U.S. gains strategic and commercial value, especially near the isthmian canal.

On Hair and Civilization The Jones Theory Debunked
The author rejects Mr Jones’s theory linking hair length to civilization and suggests no historical or natural evidence supports it. He notes examples from Chinese civilization to cannibalistic tribes, and points out inconsistencies such as Indian women exempt from the order. The lay critique argues the theory lacks testable support and will fail under scrutiny.
