Washington, Dec 4.-The state de-
partment has been Informed that al
ready new revolutionary movement
has begun in San Domingo, even be-
fore the provisional government that
ousted President Wos Y Gil has been
able to solidify itself into permanent
government.
These repeated uprisings, in the
face Of Minister Powell's warnings,
have concentrated the attention of the
Washington authorities upon the ISL
and, where much American capital is
invested, and there may be renewal
in a more forcible manner of Minister
Powells declaration that the peace Of
the United States is not to be troubled
3 in this fashion.
1t is learned that John G.. Carlisle
has been named as representative
of the United States in the arbitration
of the claims Of the San Domingo I'M
provement company against the Do
minican republic, which was arranged
for by former President Wos Y Gil as
one of the last of his official acts.
Senor Galvana, secretary of finance
under the Wos y Gil administration,
was named as the Dominican represen-
tative in 9 arbitration and the Unit
ed States and San Domingo united in
the selection of Judge George Gray as
the umpire.
The state department will support
Minister Powell in his refusal to yield
to the desire of the Dominican prov-
sional government that the personnel
of the arbitrators be changed so as to
eliminate Senor Galvana.

BETTER GO SLOW.

The proposal to place 100000 in the
tax budget, to defray the cost of erect
ing a new detention hospital, is one
that will bear careful consideration.
Any addition to that budget, beyond
what is required for the actual present
needs of the city, should be scanned
with a wary eye. These are not times
when the burdens of the taxpayer
ought to be increased in any direction
without the clearest warrant of neces-
sity. 'e.,'-"
If st. Paul IS to have new deten-
ton hospital, itsshould,abe ordered only
after a most exhaustive examination
and positive recomenda by those
best qualified to speak as to the needs
of the city. 1t is as yet undecided
what plan we should follow or what
additional facilities in this direction are
imperatively required. Projects like this
are apt to grow from small beginnings
to extraordinary magnitude. They
should not be considered except in the
light of public necessity and after most
careful investigation.
City authorities will do well not to
commit themselves until the plan is
definite, until we know exactly what
it would cost to build and maintain
such an institution. and until those best
qualified to judge shall have given their
opinions, In everything tending to in
crease the tax rate, it is a good rule to
go slow.

THIS IS SPECK Won
STERNBURG'S DAY
German Ambassador Will Be Present
ed in Manner Out of the Ordinary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6.-All
arrangements have been perfected for
the presentation at Sycamore Hill to-
morrow to the president of Speck Won
Sternburg as imperial German ambas-
sador, succeeding Her Won Holleben,
recently retired. The ceremony will be
very elaborate. The presentation will
be made by Mr.. Loomis, the acting sec
rotary of state The ambassador will
wear the full court dress of his rank.
Keen interest is manifested in Off
cial circles here at this departure from
precedent on the part of the president
as a special mark of favor to the Ger
man envoy, who for more than ten
years has been his Intimate friend.
This is the first time an ambassador
ever has been presented to the presi-
dent outside of Washington.
The ambassador with ambassadresS
and her sister will remain at their sum-
mer home probably through September,
returning to Washington in October to
reopen the embassy here and then
going to Louisville. the old home of
the ambassadors, for visit to her
mother.

Said of Plus X.

1t is wonderful that not a word CT
dissent or complaint is heard, although
the contest ending with yesterdays
election must have been earnest and
intense. The last word has been spek-
en-, and as the church teaches and as
the world expected, it is accepted as
little short of inspiration by divine
power. On that point there would be
sectarian dissension or protest, but not
with the faithful, and it is the judg-
ment of the Catholic world that passes
the election Of the pope in review
Pittsburg Post.
The world will watch with tremen-
dous interest the policy of Plus x.
Judging by the past of the new pope,
he will be found to be strong. con-
yincing and prudent.-New Haven
Union.
The general feeling seems to be that
the choice made this morning is for
tunate for Italy, and fortunate in other
respects and relations. The new pope
is a man of conspicuous ability, sixty
eight years of age, and apparently
likely to remain the head of the Catho-
lie church for considerable number of
years.-Hartford Times.
The election of Cardinal Sarto is un-
deubted1y popular throughout Italy.
That it has been well received in Ger
many and is not denounced in France
are further auguries Of it's amicable ac-
ceptance by the rest Of Europe; while
toward America, it may be confidently
expected, Pope Plus x. will be prompt
to manifest the friendliness and warm
interest that ever characterized Leo
XIII. in his consideration of this coun-
try and its people.-Rochester Herald.
The new pope brings to his great Of
fee a sound, fine character, a good
mind, and a wise disposition to rely
chiefly for the advancement of the in
terests of the vast church which has
placed him at it's head on the beauty of
religion, in it's highest development,
and the power of faith, hope and char
ity. He will doubtless continue the
work of Leo XIII, perhaps with less
signal ability, but with the same high
purpose and spirit.-Cleveland Leader.

A RACE WITH DEATH.

Henry Lowe. Of New York, lost a
race with death yesterday.
Mr.. loves daughter lay dying in
Los Angeles. The father was in New
York when news of the condition of his
girl reached him. He, acted promptly.
Fortunately money need not be consid-
cred in his case and he asked the rail-
road companies to put him into Los
Angeles in the least possible time and
that without regard to expense.
The railroad men with whom he had
to do put away their business habits
and entered into Mr.. loves feelings
with sympathy. Watch in hand and
work to relieve the anguish of father
and accomplished things which all the
demands of a time-killing period had
not hitherto effected. They sent a train
across the continent in less time than
such a feat was ever before accom-
plished. Division by division the
roads over which the Lowe special
raced cleared all tracks and gave the
father on the way to his daughters
dying bed the right of way Commerce
stood still for moments while the spe-
cia1 was pushed along. All that was
excellent in. rolling stock and motive
power was pressed into service. En-
gineers and conductors of tried nerve
volunteered to break records over their
divisions. Railroad generals went
heart and soul into the work of re-
ducing the distance between father
and daughter. Thirty-five and a half
miles an hour was made for the en-
tire distance between Chicago and
Los Angeles. The distance is 2,265
miles. The train was sent through in
siXty-two and quarter hours.
Death won the race and all the eff
forts of the railroad men went for
naught-no, not for nothing. for the at
tempt showed human kinship of a
character that it is well to see in these
days. Commerce is none the worse off
for having been side tracked to let the
special make the race with the de-
stroying angel. We are all the better
for such an exhibition of the fellow
ship of man in these times when the
exactions of everyday life tend to
make the aims of commerce to be ex-
allied above every other object in life
