FRANCE AND SAN DOMINGO.
The French stilI Insisting ON the
Payment of an Indemnity.


Payment of an Indemnity.
Paris, Feb. 2S.-In regard to the difi-
Guilty between France and San Domingo.
growing out of the non-payment of GER
tain claims by the latter. the United States
embassy informs the United Press that
there is no change in the situation. Re
presentations were made to the French
government by the United States with a
view to a final settlement of the trouble, ,but
the matter has been pending for a long
time, and no new Instructions have been
received by the embassy.
The embassy further stated that the
protest of the United States against the
action of France in ordering the seizure
of the San Domingo customs receipts as
security for the money demanded by
France, was received in a friendly spirit
by the French foreign office, but that
France was still firm in insisting upon in
demnity for the alleged tamperng with
French consular seals, and also for the
recent murder Of the French merchant,
Noel Caeiabelli, at samana Bay.
London Feb. 25.-The Times correspon-
dent in Paris scouts the idea of a con-
fiict between France and the United States
over Frances attitude TO San Domingo.
ut is true, however he says, that GER
tain French settlers have submitted all
sorts of claims, against which San Do
mingo protests. This shows that arbitra-
ton is necessary at the earliest possible
moment. The principles and traditions Of
the United States forbids its looking on
with Indifference whenever a European
power assumes an imperious attitude to-
ward any American state, especially when,
as here, citizens Of the United States have
spent money in the country and have capi-
tai guaranteed by customs which the for
eigners may menace. On the other hand.
France which certainly has grievances
against San Domingo, cannot think of re-
nouncing her claims on the mere refusal
to accept them. The inevitable conclusion
is that the only means of settlement is ar
bitration."

Informal Talk ns to the Necessity

Informal Talk ns to the Necessity
of an Election in the Sennte.
Washington, Feb. 2s.-There has been
some informal talk during the past few
days as to the advisabilty Of electing
new President pro tempore OF the SEN
ate, the talk arising from the supposed
necessity for such action owing to the
fact that the present term of Senator
Harris expires on March 4. There has
been no conference Of republicans on the
subject and prominent leader OF that
party said tonight that he did not be-
lieve there would be any. The consensus
of opinion is that there is no necessity
for such an election, now that the chance
of succession to the presidency has been
removed by the statute providing for
such succession. Under other conditions,
such an election would be necessary.
Some democrats, and republicans too,
also believe that Mr. Harris viii hold
over until the next session anyhow. The
Senate is continuous body and Mr..
Harris has been reelected and his cre-
dentals filed with the secretary of the
Senate A number Of names have been
suggested as possible candidates for the
office. but it IS not believed anything viii
be done till the Senate meets In the next
session and the whole subject Of reorgan-
izations is considered.
