RODRIGUEZ A REFUGEE.
Obliged to Take Shelter in French
 ConsulatA

San Domingo, Santo Domingo. Dec. fT Thursday.)-Governor Rodriguez having been suspected of an intention to kidnau President Morales has been obliged to take shelter in the French consulate. There was considerable firing last night in and out of town. Santiago de los Ca- balleros is now said to be surrounded by the government forces. La Vega, San Francisco and Macoris have declared in favor of the revolution.
 Fighting has occurred at Moca. The provisional government intends sending an envoy to General Jiminez in an efforN to come to some amicable understandings with him. '-'
 The provisional government has agreed to all the demands made by United States Minister Powell, including the appoint~ ment of arbitrators and that their decis- ion in the improvement company matters and in the Sala case shall he fully recog. nized. and settled not to again be re- opened.
 The Ros concession settlement is ac< cepted and the Clyde concession will be fully respected in all it's parts. The naIn- ister agrees not to demand any payment of the pending claims until March 1, next. This may be considered to be another victory for American diplomacy az tho provisional government had positively Ye- fused to recognize any of the pending American claims, saying 1t would oppose any attempts to collect them.
 By the action of Minister Powell ths provisional government is bound by all the agreements made with former PreSi- dents Vasquez or Wos y Gil.
 The provisional government has pF0teats ed a draft $200O0 drawn by Senor Galvan. the Dominican arbitrator in the improve ment company case now being arbitrated at Washington. -,'
 The provisional government, after con4 sidering the German-Spanish protocol re- ferring to the Vinamata-huLLItnger claim for $19S,0O0, has protested to the govern ments of Berlin and Mdarfd that the pro- tocoI violates the agreements with the ex- terior and interior creditors of Santo Do- mingo. including the German bondholders. The latter are expected to protest against the protocol

WILL GET INTO NEW ORLEANS.
New Plan of Rock Island-ErisCo En-
 trance Into City

IkAACS A1SO VASy
 New York. Dec. 1s.-Negotiations have been completed by the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad for a new alliance which will admit the Rock Island-Frisco system to New Orleans. says The Herald. This plan has been worked out with the Southern and will save the Frisco from building a line from Memphis to Baton Rouge, which involved the possibility of antngonizing the Gould interests.
 The original plan of the Frisco man agement called for the construction of an Independent line. A right of way was obtained and preliminary steps taken for fin&ncing the new construction. Jointly with the Southern Railway, extensive ter- UninfI facilities in New Orleans were planned to cost between $12.o00.0O0 and 814.00o,O00. Between $2.0O0,0O0 and $3,0O0, 600 has ben expended on this work.
 The Iron Mountain already had we'll un- der way the construction of its New Or leans line and negotiations for it's use by the Frisco. thereby saving the latter 300 miles of building, were well under way when a dispute arose over local traffic and the edeal fell through.
 President Yoakum of the Frisco, then suggested to President Spencer, of Ahe Southern. the feasibility of the Frisco reaching New Orleans over the Southern's s Mobile and Ohio and New Orleans and NoFtheastern route. It was decided to the intqRest of the Southern to have the Frs co Sh New Orleans on account of their joint terminals there. Without any delay the matter was carried forward and the directors of the St. Louis and San Fran cisco have ratified the new project.
 The Frisco's new route will be some what indirect for trafffc from St. Louis and Chicago. but will enable the system to handle it's own tonnage from the Birm- fngham district. It Is pointed out that the Rock Island-Frisco traffic from the West and Southwest will reach the Gulf by way of Galveston if the joint owner ship of the Hartman North and South Texas lines is finally sanctioned.

MR. HANNA'S AMBITION
DHSrnns TO FnosECUTE CIVIC
 EEDERiATroN's WORK.
Bays He Had Rather Bring Labor and Capital Into Close Ali
 nnce Than to Be

New York, Dec. 19.--At the second ses- sion. of the national civic federation today 1t was decided to organize several addi- xional sections representing the building trades. metal trades, public service cor porations and textile industries. each sec don to be composed of a committee Of nine members. three members being ap- pointed from each of the three classes xeprese lted in the civic fedration. the ern- ployers. the wage earners and the public.
 Power was vested in President Hanna to appoint the committees. These com xnittees when appointed will also seek to promote a joint trade agreement. In all Hines when practicable. By a resolution unanimously adopted 1t was also decided to carry out in each of the cities select cd by the executive officers the policy of consultation now operative in the civic federation.
 Oscar s. Straus president at . dinner riven tonight at Madison Square Garden by the New York civic federation to the national body.
 A letter was received from Senator Hanna expressing his regret that a sud- present.
 In his introductory address Mir. Strauss said:
 Senator Hanna has repeatedly declared that he is not candidate for the Presi- dency and I will tell you why.
 ''I4e has been so active in our work and he feels that if he were drawn into that he would not be able to carry on the work of this federation. And he believes this work to be of greater moment and importance than that which would de- voive upon the President of the United States.
 This is not an empty assertion. I will quote you his words. Two years ago he said: I should rather be the man who will carry to success the movement to bring labor and capital into closer al- liance than to be the President of the United States
 Among those of us that heard him. be- 1ievcd him then and believed him now. We believe the national federation is the most Important body of men In the Unit ed States"
 Mr. Strauss then introduced Samuel Gompers who spoke in praise of the work of the federation and said: We do not hope or undertake to solve the social problems. but we do hope and undertake to help to solve them"

James, who. after having seventeen kisses from the pretty lips of Miss Smith, announced he had come away without his purse. but that if a dpSar would cancel the debt he would be pleaSed to hand it over to the treasurer of the bazaar. Miss Smith brought suit and recovered payment in full.

THE SEWERS OF LONDON.
Enormous Cost of Draining the Eng
 lish MAtrouolia.

London, Dec. 19.-Nearly 800 miles of sewers are situated beneath the average Londoner's feet, and this includes only the large sewers, several of them so large that a number of boats could float down them abreast. And some idea of the enor- nous cost of draining London may be gathered from the fact that the drainage works and machinery alone cost 5000, 900 pounds sterling.
 The three main sewers in the metropolis run from Fleet Stret to Hamstead, from Blackfriars to Abbey Mills, and from Har- row to Old Ford. Connected with these are multitude of smaller sewers meas uring about twelve feet in diameter. which make London one of the best drain ed cities in the world.
 A thousand men are employed all the year round, not even excepting Sundays, in keeping London properly drained, and the stupendous total of 100000 900 tons of sewage is chemically treated every twelve months and taken away in sludge vessels to the North Sea. It might be supposed that the occupation is an un- healthy one for the men engaged, but this is not so. as the sewage is treated with protophosphate of iron and lime water which clarifies it as 1t passes to the great reservoirs. ready to be taken away,
 During wet summer, like the present. ehO pumping Indcnlnery which 0rawR away the rain water might be expected to be very heavily taxed. and the sewers also; but besides there being a number Of storm channels. which are only util- ized when the volume of waters in the main sewer is abnormal, the pumping machinery at Abbey Mills alone Is capa- ble of lifting 135, ,OOO,000 gallons of water to height of forty feet every day, which. in other words, implies that Lon don could never be destroyed by floods.
 At Barking, where the sludge is dealt with. there are fourteen sewers measur- Ing thirty feet across-that Is to say, any one of them would be wide enough for a small tugboat to pass down. Here the sludge, after being chemically treated, has to go through enormous iron cages. resembling gigantic colanders, which keep back solid objects, such as pieces of wood. old boots and so forth, while not infrequently valuable articles of jew elry are found wedged between the bars of the cage.
 Connected with the sewer under I,ud- gate Hill is the old Roman subterranean bath, which is the oldest structure in London and must have been in existence long before a single brick of the present city was laid. At one time it was ap- preached by subway. but this has long since disappeared. though the bath. which measures some fourteen feet to sixteen feet across. still remains.

TRYING TO BORROW MONEY.
Japan is Anxious for the sinews of
 War

New York, Dec. 1s.-The report in cir culation to the effect that Russia was about to open negotiations with view to securing a loan in New York was not credited in financial circles here because 1t was said the Russian government made similar overtures unsuccessfully about six months ago.
 A few days ago representatives of the Japanese government conferred with New York bankers respecting loan, making no secret of the fact that the money if secured might be used for war purposes. These negotiations also were uhsuccess- full. International bankers here are sub stantially unanimous in the opinion that eliminating all other circumstances. do- mestic, financial needs make any sort of foreign loan impracticable at this time.

TO AVOID A RUPTURE.
Another Move is Made By Russian
 Government

Paris, Dec. 1s.-Russia has made another move toward avoiding a rupture with Japan and there is reason to believe 1t will be. followed in a few days by the sub mission of second proposition tending to ameliorate the present strained situa- ton.
 The action already taken consists in giving assurances that the first proposi- ton which the Czar approved was not Tn any sense an uitimatum or sine qua non, but was a preliminary step tending. to- ward a pacific settlement, This declara- ton Ia considered by the ofiicials here as removing one of the, most dangerous as- poets of the situation, as it had been ss- serted that Russia's proposition was practically an ultimatum which. on being rejected by Japan, made a rupture cer- tain.
