Aldermann Curran is a Republican, and said to be a friend of the big corpor- ations who are trving to demand the increased fare. Mr. Ashley L. Totien has received a letter from Mr. Robinson Editor of the Amsterdam News, assuring him of their willingness to aid in such publicity that will eventually bring about fuli citizen- ship rights for all Virgin Islanders. The Amsterdam News is the political whip for the colored population of New York. —Contributed. TELEGRA MS. ST. CROIX STATION.

Loucheur to negotiate with Herr Ratheneau. The London point of view was that Germany could never pay more than a percentage of repara- tions in cash and taat France oug® fto take products in part payment.
