SAN DOMINGO THREATENED
Revolutionary Forces Are Combining for Attack

Cape Hatien, Hayti.-General Ma vato, the revolutionary governor of Monte Criste, Santo Domingo, at the head of strong force of troops, has joined General Morales, commander in-chief of the forces of the Dominican revolution with the reported intention of moving the combined forces on the capital, Santo Domingo.
 The blockade of the port of Puerto Plata, on the north coast of Santo Do- mingo, which is held by the revolution ists, has caused provisions there to be- come very dear.
 A force of Dominican revolutionists has occupied Cotuy. II Is presumed that the Dominican government forces will be concentrated at the capital. where heavy fighting is expected to take place. '' t. Irl
 Among the passengers on the Cuban mail steamer Maria Ferria, which was pTS'eHleu lIOH eHIeTluS fueTlO Tldtd on Tuesday, by the Dominican gov ernment cruiser Independence, was Sehor Caceres, former governor of San tiago de Lus Gaballeros, Santo De- mingo, under the presidency of Gen eral Vasquez, who was exiled to Cuba by the present government of Santo Domingo. Seior Caceres has gone now to join General Jiminez, the leader of the revolution, at some unknown point and together they will make another attempt to land in Santo Domingo.
 Telegraphic communication with La Vega, Santo Domingo, has been re- stored.
 It is reported that the French cruiser Jean De La Gravier, now at Port au Price, Hayti, has been ordered to Santo Domingo.

had not been advised that an agree ment had been reached Nor would he comment upon the charge that Japan had been tempted by Russia into ac- quiescence into the latter's occupation of Manchuria in return for concessions in Korea.
 Mir. Takahira thought 1t possible that the reoccupation of Mukden was necessitated by a movement of Rus sian troops, and that the occupation would not be fer long. He pointed out that Russia had agreed to the opening of Mukden to the worlds commerce, and Russian troops to remain there to carry out ttis promise.
 European diplomatists say that the reports of tripartite understanding between Russia, Germany and Japan for the management of affairs in the far East are of far-reaching interest and significance, but it is declared no official hoace has been received by them on the subject.
 ST. PETERSBURG.-Ro Chun- chu tribesmen who recently entrenched themselves at Bodone, a town on. the Sungacha river, Manchuria, had pre- viously attacked a Russian cargo steamer at a station on the Manchu- rian railway near Bodone.

Jealous of Interference

Rome, Italy.-Considerable appre- hension is felt among Italians about the expedition on the way to Abys- sinia under the leadership of Consul General Skinner of Marseilles. Italy since her African reverses has been accustomed to look with distrust on any foreign interference in Ethiopia. It is earned on good authority that in structions have been sent to the Ital. ian minister at the Abyssinian capi- tai to watch Skinner closely and re. port on the attention paid him and the business results of his visit.

PROGRESS or IRRIGATION
GOVERNMENT AND STATE AUTHOR
 TIES AT WORK
Appropriation of $60,0OO Made by Last Legis- lature for the Development of Irrigation in the State

Appropriation of $60,O0O made by the California legislature last winter for the development of irrigation in the State, the greater part of which is being expended by the United States geological survey, has served to ex- ploit greatly the latent capacity of the State for developing irrigation, as well as to emphasize the urgent need of definite policies for future work along similar lines.
 Topographic and Photographic branches of the survey have together undertaken the mapping of the irri- gable lands of the Sacramento valley, and are prosecuting the work vigor- ously. During the coming winter there will be surveyed at least four fifteen minute quadrangles on scale of one mile to the inch, with contour intervals of five feet. It is the intention, if feasible, to complete the survey of the Sacramento valley on this scale from this appropriation. Other topographic work is being carried on simultane- ously in the drainage basin of Kings river.
 Work of steam gagings in Califor- mia has been greatly extended by the survey, and gazing stations now are maintained on thirty-fve streams. In addition to this, general reconnais- sance is being carried on in the drain- age basin of the Sacramento river for the purpose of discovering existing reservoir sites and for the survey | thereof. Under the direction of J. B. Lippincott, supervising engineer, his assistant, H. E. Green, is making a careful examination of this whole | drainage basin, with view of de- | termining upon a comprehensive scheme for the irrigation of the Sac ramento valley. Unusual opportunities are offered here because of the fertility of the soil, the mild character of the climate, which permits of semi-tropic fruits, and the abundant water supply.
 Mountainous portions of this drain age basin are heavily covered with timber, which is being rapidly ex. hausted by numbering operations. Be. cause of these foundations the bureau of forestry of the department of agri- culture is making a careful study of these timbered areas. It is expected that forest reservations which have been tentatively withdrawn will be thoroughly investigated because of this cooperation, and that recon. mendations will be made not only for a proper national forestry policy, but also for proper code of State forestry | laws.
 In all of these lines of investigation | the personnel of the field parties is selected by the proper authorities in Washington, and the field expenses are in greater part being paid by the State, the result being that the State furthers to its own great advantages the work of the experienced corps of trained men from the scientific bu- reaus of the government, with which California is cooperating.

WAR SPIRIT IS CURED
CHINESE MINISTER SAYS PEACE SENTIMENT GROWS IN RUSSIA
The Experience of the Russian Authorities is That as Soon as They Surrendered District the Chinese are Uaable to Preserve Order

Petersburg telegraphs that while the war party has been dominant for long time, he believes "a peace set clement is beginning to prevail.
 PARIS.-Dinner at the Elysee palace in honor of Count Lamsdorf was en exclusive affair, the guests be- ing few high French officials and the Russian diplomatists. The Figaro this morning says it has reasons to believe that one of the results of Count Lamsdorf's visit will be that France will exercise an influence in the Korean situation along parallel lines with that of Russia and for the interests of peace.
 According to the Echo de Paris, Count Lamsdorf has practically de- clared that it is desirable to cast the entire weight and influence of the Franco Russian alliance upon the en- terprising spirit of Viceroy Alexieff, whose warlike intentions the Russian chancellor fears more than the prep arations of Japan. This paper also says there are reasons to believe that the Japanese minister has made over- lures in view of the fact that Count Lamsdorff and M. Delcasse are con- sidering the question of submitting the Korean differences to arbitration.
 Count Cassini, the Russian ambas- sador to the United States, who is now in Paris, was not surprised to hear that the Russian troops had re- entered Mukden, in view of the con- ditions there. He said the experience of the Russian authorities was that as soon as they surrendered dis trict to the Chinese the latter are unable to preserve order, disturb ances occur and foreign interests are menaced. The ambassador added that the return of the Russian troops did not affect the status of Mukden as an open port, in accordance with the treaty between the United States and China.
 President Loubet informed the cabi- net council of the terms of the letter received from the czar. They follow in general lines the synopsis cabled to the Associated Press. The czar expressed satisfaction at the happy events in which France has recently taken part. In these events the czar sees a new assurance of the mainten- ance of general peace which has been the constant aim of France and Russia, thus giving another reason why the friendly allied nations, having confi- dence in each other, should continue to manifest on all occasions their en- tire conformity of view and mutual sympathy on their various interests. Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, today continued his formal conference with Foreign Minister Del casse.
 WASHINGTON. - Diplomats here say that the Associated Press cable from St. Petersburg telling of Russian reoccupation of Mukden indicates an agreement between Russia and Japan, by which the former is to have free swing in Manchuria so far as Japan is concerned
 MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister, said he had read the cablegram with deep interest, but was still without official confirmation. The minister seemed to be more hopeful of a satis- fantarx nonnlucian nf tho TnlIin neon-

Ownership OF Stage "Busfness."

One of the peculiar things about q
copyrighted play is that any little piece
of business or any new lines which
may be inserted in the manuscript
While stock company is playing the
drama belong thereafter to the man
who owns the copyright.
Every time stock company rents a
play for production from the owner Of
the copyright it is cut. interlined and
added to before it is produced 4 stage
manager, for instance, may interpolate
some speeches in order to work up to
the introduction of a song or speciality,
or he may strengthen the climax by
putting in some new and strong lines
Often these interpolated lines prove to
be the most striking in the play and
make decided hits. If they are left in
when the manuscript goes back to its
owner, they become his property alb
solutely and may not be used by the
man who wrote them in any other pro
duction; therefore shrewd managers,
before they return a play to its owner,
always take great pains to erase every
scrap of correction or interlineation.
In this way only may they keep what
really belongs to them.-Chicago Trib-
une.

EARLY Political Platforms.

It is in the seventeenth century that
the first beginnings Of the platform
must be sought but these early traces
of its use are very slight. That there
must have been some little employ
ment of it in demagogic way may be
inferred from the Characters" of But
Ter, the author of the ever memorable
''Hudibras." He describes "a leader
of a faction as one who "sets the
psalm, and all his party sing after him.
He is like a figure in arithmetic-the
more ciphers he stands before the more
his value amounts to. He is a great
haranguer, talks himself into author
ity, and, like a parrot, climbs with his
beak." 1t is probable, moreover, that
the first form of the platform was the
conventicle or meeting house Of the
Puritan or Dissenter. for Butler, in his
character Of ''The Seditious Man."
says that ''if he be preacher he has
the advantage of all others of his tribe,
for he has a way to vent sedition by
wholesale" But the platform at this
time was of no practical account. Such
attempts as there were outside parlia-
ment to influence opinion We're made
by means of the press. partly by the
book. partly by the pamphlet and part
ly by the joufnal.-C. B. Roylance Kent
