New Brunswick, every Catholic III tie
city strained every nerve to get money
for their curate. Every cent. that
could be raised went for the n OBJ

seemed to develop into a ace to see
which parish could raise the most
money. In that event the $4,000
raised by the local curate was a mere
bagatelle for Perth Amboy. The
people here have been pouring out
their money like water for the past
three or four months for their new
church and hundreds of dollars have
gone to the fair which is now on and
of which the contest was only side

TO ENLARGE FORT NIAGARA.
Present Intention Of the War Depart
ment

Under the provisions of a bill to increase
last session of Congress. the War Depart
ment was given authority for the selection
of new military posts and the enlargement
places considered with the view to strength
ening the garrisons were Forts Niagara and
Porter, N. Y. This involved a material in
a spirited contest arose as to which of the
templa ted improvements.
In the case of Fort Porter, which is with
in the limits of Buffalo, it was found that
suitable terms could not be obtained for land
adjoining the reservation, and it was sug-
gested that the fort be sold and the money
applied toward the purchase of the larger
site, which the government needs de-
manded.
1t appears, however. that the govern
ent does not own the land upon which
Fort Porter Is situated. and that should 1t
be abandoned the land would revert to the
state. In view of that fact. unless the pres
ent determination of the War Department
officials is charged, Fort Niagara will be
considerably enlarged and the garrison in
creased to one regiment Of infantry, one Of
cavalry and two batteries Of field artillery.
1t is said also that Fort Niagara offers
many military advantages over Fort Por-
ter in addition to being particularly
healthy. The matter is now before Acting
Secretary Oliver. and the general staff for
decision number of protests having been
received from congressman and others re-
siding in Buffalo against the proposed en-
largement of Fort Niagara
The present intention Of the War Depart
ment is to retain Fort Porter as a military
post. to enlarge Fort Niagara and later
to establish another military post of con-
siderable size In that vicinity.

Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte, who was APP
pointed by President Roosevelt to assist the
legal officials of the District of Columbia in
the prosecution of persons indicted as the
result of the investigation of scandals in
the Post Office Department, had a long con-
ference this forenoon with the fourth as
sistant postmaster general, Mr.. Bristow.
The latter had been engaged for more
than a month in the preparation Of his re-
port which will go to the President. Dur
ing that time he has seldom been seen in
the outer office, where, in the early part of
the investigation, he could be found from
early in the morning often until late in the
evening.
Mr.. Bonaparte's presence was announced
to Mr.. Bristow and the former was ushered
within at once. 1t is understood that Mr..
Bonaparte called to discuss the peculiar
phases that have come up in the case
against former State Senator Green of New
YORK, who was recently indicted. together
with George w. Beavers, by the grand jury
of the District of Columbia Both Mr.

MUST COME TO TERMS
SAN DOMINGO WILL NOT BE AL
LOWED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
Strong Representations Made to the
Government by Minister Powell
Agreement Must Be Respected.

The State Department has not yet receiv-
ed confirmation of the dispatch from Santo
Domingo City saying that the Dominican
government had informed Minister Powell
that it absolutely declined to recognize
the validity Of the agreement regarding
the claims Of the Improvement Company.
The department is aware that the DOM
1n1can government is not disposed to rec
ognize the binding force of the protocol
which was signed with the Vasquez regime
for the adjustment Of these claims. but
the fulfillment of the terms Of that instru-
nlent will be insisted upon, and Minister
Powell has instructions to demand settle
ment in accordance with it's terms.
Minister Powell recently sent strong
protest to the Dominican government based
on the following grounds:
That the action Of the Dominican gov
ernment in sending to Congress project
for establishing the neutrality Of Domi-
nican waters and making certain ports
free, would Qn view of the fact that Santo
Domingo is neighboring state), not be
accepted in friendly spirit by the govern
ment of the United States
That the United States governnne would
not allow the establishment Of any coaling
ports in Santo Domingo or the cession of
any portion Of Santo Domingo territory to
any European power.
That the United States will not permit
any nation to make exclusive use of DOM
iEican waters in time of peace, much less
in time of war. Nor could the United
States allow any portion of Dominican ter
rftory to be classed neutral, nor permit
any section Of the country to conflict with
the concession granted to the Clyde Line,
according to which all vessels arriving
from foreign ports compelled to pay
port dues excepting the Clyde steamers

JUSTICE HAGNER's SUCCESSOR
Indications Point to the Selection of
Daniel Thew Wright

The long delay of President Roosevelt in
announcing a successor on the Supreme
bench Of the District to Justice Hagner is
not understood by local attorneys. The
question Of a successor has been before
the President since last spring. For a long
time Attorney General Knox was occupied
with important legal questions and did not
have time to consider the matter and give
his views to the President Mr. Knox has
been away from Washington several
months and has not been looking after de-
partmental matters except in cases de-
manding instant decision. The appoint
ments Of judges are in the control of the
President, of course but he weighs care
fully the views of Attorney General Knox
before acting.
The fact that Senator Foraker was a
caller at the Department. of ,Jhstice today
suggests the possibility that a xsriend of
the Ohio senator may receive this, vacancy.
This man is former Judge Da.iel Thew
Wright of Cincinnati, Ohio. Senator Scott
has urged the President to appoint him.
and 1t is well known that the President Is
very friendly to Senator, Foraker. The in
dications are strong that Mr.. Wright will
be the choice Of the President, who will
probably not delay the appointment much
longer.

Effect Of His Operations.
One lot of 100000 4 per cent bonds be-
longing to Washington people was pre-
sented to the treasury yesterday for re-
funding into per cents, but this has been
the only case received so far. The pre-

be presented in Washington and are not
redeemable at subtreasuries. Nor can re-
funding be done at the subtreasuries. AS
