SAN DOMINGO MUST PAY UP.
United statos VIII Not admit of Farther
Delay.

San Domingo. Republic of Santo Do
ningo, Feb 16-The minister for for
eign affairs to-day made public des-
patch received from Secretary of State
Hay announcing that the Dominican
envoy who is to represent Santo Do
mingo's case at Washington would be
heard and pointing out that Minister
Powell was intrusted with the task of
conducting and concluding the negotia-
tons in regard to the claims of Amer
ican citizens against Santo Domingo.
Secretary General Sanchez informed
Mr.. Powell that the pending cases win
not be further considered until after
the return of the Dominican minister
from the United States, to which the
American minister replied that the
cases referred to will not admit of any
further delay in their settlement. He
added that he cannot await the return
of the commissioner from Washington
and notified the secretary general that
a settlement must be effected in a few
days.
The determined stand taken by Mr..
Powell of having the Clyde line and the
Ros cases settled surprised the Domini
can government and it is expected the
latter must yield.

The Connecticut Historical society at

address by Professor w. M. MacDon-

on the military career of General Green:
in the Revolutionary war. The lecture
was called forth as q defense to the
somewhat adverse criticism of General
Green which was made in one of Pro-
fessor McCready's late books on the
Revolution. The address was extreme

of thanks was rendered Professor Mac

ADDICKS ISSUES ULTlMATUM
A DEFIANT STATEMENT TO RE-
PUBLICAN OPPONENTS.

Offers Them tho Choice of E;iecting Two
Union Republicans Rs Near Him as
Their Number and the AddGcks Men
E!ecttng Him-Wt1 Prevent Bolter.
from Ever HnidIng Office in De NV ,rc.
Wilmington, Del, Feb 16.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued tonight
by ]. Edward Addicks, the Union Re-
publican candidate for United States
senator:
The Senatorial Situation"
"On the Republican side there are
but two things the bolters can do. First,
the ten men now voting against J. Ed
ward Addicks can come into a common
caucus of 81 Republicans. In this case
Mr.. Addicks will withdraw and his 2l
friends will nominate two Union Re-
publican senators as near to Mr.. Ad-
dicks as possible and the whole 81 will
elect them. OF course if the boilers
can find any way whereby ten men can
beat q, they can nominate one of the
senators.
Second, each side can select one SEN
ator without dlctation from the other
side. In this case Mr.. Addicks will be
the choice of the Union Republicans.
No dictation will be permitted by the
Union Republicans.
"On the Democratic side the Demo-
Gratis can join the boilers and elect any,
body the coalition pleases. This cam
not be prevented by the Union Repub-
licans and they would not lift hand
to prevent it.
'As to the future position of the
Union Republicans, in no event will
any more notice be taken of the boilers
in Newcastle county. No more common
primaries will be tolerated which
would be binding on honorable Union
Republicans and not binding on bolt
ers. No man who refused to vote for j.
Edward Addicks in the legislature will
ever be allowed to hold any office In
Delaware, nor will any boiter sympa-
thizers be permitted to come to the
front. Union Republicans will noml-
nate straight ticket in Wilmington
and throughout the state in the long
future. AS to the appointments Con-
gresham Ball cannot get a federal ap-
pointment. After March 4th the ap-
pointments, according to custom. ought
to go to the chairman of the Union
Republican state committee and the
national committeeman, J. Edward Ad-
dicks, We will see where the power
will lie. (Signed)
II. EDWARD ADDICKS."

LEAKAGRS In THE SENATE
PRACTICE OFGIVING OUT SECRET
SESSION UTTERA NOES.
Denounced tn Strong Terms by MIR.
stt tement That tho Presfd ent of Coz
Iombia Had Sold Out or Abdicatcd for
n Million Dollars.

Washington, Feb. 16.-In the senate
this afternoon Mr.. Morgan, as a ques-
tion of privilege, had read a recent
communication, addressed to him by
Rafael Reyes, Colombian minister to
Mexico, and which appeared in the
public print, denying the accuracy of a
certain statement, alleged to have been
made by Mr.. Morgan in the senate on
February 12, that the president of Co
lombia had sold out or abdicated for
a,00G,000. He declared that il anything
was said by him it was in secret ses-
sion of the senate. Reyes, he said,
seems to be determined on the success
of the Panama scheme. ''The coinci-
dence of the double assault on me-"
said he, SIS quite cute enough to have
been enacted in the Panama canal
school and is brazen enough to have
been prepared in the office of New
York railroad wrecker." AS the state
ments Of his (Morgan's) did not appear
in the public records of the senate the
statements, he said, are false or were
surreptitiously obtained. :. He then
spoke of leaks in the senate. For
years, he said, he had witnessed the
abuse of senators by betrayal by per-
sons who have had the right or privi-
lege of being present at executive ses-
sions of the senate, and he had long
since ceased to expect anything else
1t was cowardly form of calling a
senator to account for remarks or
statements made in conference. The
evil seems to be without remedy, he
continued, and the only safety of sena-
tors is In open sessions. Reyes, he said.
violated principle of diplomacy by OBJ
tanning his information surreptitiously
through persons who violated their
trust.
Il did not say" said Mr.. Morgan, lat
any time, that the president had receiv-
ed million dollars as pay for resign
ing. I said that after he received one
million dollars In April, 1900, he return
ed to his home and the vice-president
was substituted in his place.
Reverting to the subject of giving out
information concerning executive ses-
sions, Mr.. Morgan said:
1T is only a repetition Of the crimes
that have been committed by senators
heretofore.
It was not an unusual thing, he said,
but no such accusation could be laid at
his door.
Among the bills passed after Mr..
Morgan concluded was one granting the
right to the New York and New Jersey
Railroad company to consolidate and
operate an underground railway under
New York city. At 4:10 the senate went
into executive session and at 4:40 ad-
iourned.

hotel, in Morris Cove. At o'clock last
evening about eighty middle aged and

took special cars to that hostelry to
indulge in a banquet and dance.
Wright's orchestra of twenty-eight

music. An excellent banquet was serv-
ed at o'clock, which was followed by
dancing. 1t was the intention of the
party to leave there shortly after mid
night, but on account Of the heavy
snow drifts this was found to be i'm
possible. Those present did not seem to
mind it and decided to continue the
dance all night, which was done.
About 2 o'clock they again got hungry

Statement That Venezuela Admits All
German Claims rs Justtfiable
Berlin. Feb. 16.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low sent to the reichstag to-day a mem
orandum on the settlement of the Ven
ezuela disputes. After briefly reviewing
the incidents preceding the negotiations
it was:
According to the protocol Venezuela
recognized all claims made by Germany
as being justifiable, and well founded.
Germany's claims, which the ultimatum
placed in the first rank, arising from
the Venezuelan civil wars of 1898 and
1900 and gave occasion for the action
against Venezuela will be paid, partly
in cash and partly in short term drafts"
Continuing the chancellor summarized
the terms of the protocol and concluded
with saying the blockade would be i'm
mediately raised and diplomatic rela-
tions with Venezuela would be resumed.
Various newspapers alIude to the
Monroe doctrine in careful language, af-
firming that Europe can only recognize
the doctrine as international law after
a congress of the powers has been held
on the subject.

RAFFERTY, is CAPTAIN.
YALE FOOTBALL TEAM MAKES
SELECTION OF A LEADER.

Important Announcement by Captain
Chadvick--GIass Not COnside red-ln-
eligible to Play Amy More-A Rule
Against Rim-Ra1ferty's Excellent
accord
The Yale football team held meeting
in the trophy room of the Yale gymna-
sium last evening and elected cap
tain for the season of 1903. Captain
Chadwick of the team of 1902 presided
at the meeting. which was attended by
all members Of the bootball squad who
were eligible to vote for captain.
The election resulted in the choice of
Charles Donnel7y Rafferty, '04S., of
Pittsburg. The election was made unan-
imous.
At the close of the meeting Captain
Chadwick gave out the following off,
cial notice:
THE name of Edgar T.. Glass was not
considered in the election of captain
because of the following rule which was
adopted at a students mass meeting
held at Yale February 13, 1901: No stu
a university athletic association, in any
one branch of athletics for more than
four years. The year or years during
which any man shall have represented
upon any of its teams any other college
shall be reckoned as if he had been a
member of a university athletic asso-
citation of Yale for this period"
From the above official statement
those familiar with Yale athletics read
lily conclude that Yale has again taken
the initiative and has decided the mat
ter without waiting for a protest from
some other college or university and
without placing the matter before an
arbitration board, and then indulging
in a vast amount of technicalities and
red-tapeism. AS one of Yale's leading
athletes put it last evening: There
will never been a Cults or Schick case
at Yale"
The sum and substance of the Off
cial announcement by Captain Chad
wick is that Glass has been declared
ineligible because, in the opinion Of the
Yale football authorities and in recog-
milton Of the rule quoted above, Glass
has taken part in college athletics for
four years. This also means that Glass
will not play football next season,
neither will he participate in the track
games this spring. The case is a rare
exception to the rule at Yale and the
entire student body regrets that Glass,
by force of circumstances, is barred
from further participation in Yale's
athletics He is one of the most popular
students in the university. He is a
thorough student and one Of the
brightest men in his class, 1904S. ~
Charles Donnellyi Rafferty, the newly
elected captain, played football on his
freshman team and during his fresh
man year was taken on the varsity
squad. playing in the Yale Princeton
and Yale Harvard games. Last year
he made one of the best records of the
season. His work was Handicapped by
serious scalp wound, received In the
Bucknell game and which materially
affected him in the games with Prince
ton and Harvard. Despite this handicap
he played a marvellous game He un-
derstands football from beginning to
end, and should make a capable and
thoroughly proficient captain.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Queen Wilhel-

Venezuela in the event that the persons

The selection of Queen Wilhelmina

probable that the protocols soon to be

provide that the queen shall name the

This is intended as a compliment to the
sovereign of the country at whose cap
ital The Hague tribunal sits.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy in
their protocols provide that the King of
Spain shall name the umpire.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The senate
committee on the judiciary to-day con-
cluded consideration of the Littlefield
antitrust bill and decided to report it
to the senate with number of very
important amendments. The most i'm
portant changes were made in co1nec-

bill, for which the senate committee
will recommend complete substitutes.
Section 6, as the bill passed the house,
prohibited persons engaged in violating
the provisions of the law from using
any of the instrumentalities of inter-
state commerce. This purpose is re-
tained in the substitute of the senate
committee, but the scope of the provis-
ion is enlarged.
