Uncle Sam May Be Compelled to Re.
 0rwamase Repmblac.

WASHINGTON Dec. 6.-The United States will not purchase, annex or even accept as a gift the republic of Santo Domingo. This may be stated on the highest authority. That the United States may find it expedient to take temporary charge of Santo Do mingo, reorganize it's government. pay of it's indebtedness and replace int0l- erable conditions with safe and sane government, precisely as was done with Cuba, is not only possible, but probable. It is also possible that in re turn for thus acting as Dominican re- ceiver the United States may acquire the use of a coaling station on Samana bay.
 Under an arbitral award of July 14, 1904, the United States was empow. cred in the event of default of certain prescribed payments on American claims to assume control, through a fiscal agent, of the ports of Puerto Plata, Sanchez, Samana and Monte Christo. Puerto Plata has already been taken, and the others will be in the near future The only remaining ports of the republic are Santo Domin- go city and Macoris, the receipts from which are pledged in payment of bonds held chiefly by French and Belgian cit izens.
 The revolutions of such frequent oc- currence in Santo Domingo arc usually due to the efforts of the revolutionists to acquire possession of the ports which will soon be administered by the government, and American custody of these sources of revenue will therefore effectually prevent further revolution,

EIGHTY BADLY HURT.

Broken Rail on the Missouri PaciAc
 Caused Wreck Nenr Holden, Mo.
 HOLDEN, Mo-, Dec. 5.--A Missouri Pacific passenger train from St. Louis to Kansas City was wrecked at the waterworks bridge, two miles east of here, resulting in the injury of about 150 passengers, eighty of whom were seriously hurt. The accident was caus- ed by a broken rail, which projected from the track, catching the coach be hind the mail car, throwing it from the track down a twenty foot embank- ment and causing two other coaches, a Pullman and dining car to follow it.
 The broken rail was on the bridge, and the rear Pullman rolled of the bridge into the creek below, and the passengers inside were all seriously injured. Two aged women, imprison- ed in this car, were taken out at the top after holes had been made with axes.
 The engine, two baggage cars~ and the mail car passed the bridge in safe, ty and remained on the track, but all the rest of the train was thrown off
 There were thirty members of the WarTensburg lodge, Knights of Pyth- ias, oh the wrecked train, and few of them escaped injury.

Presidents Message WilI Be Brought
 Down Tomorrow.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-With half hundred representatives prepared to sing their legislative swan song and surrender their seats to their success sors chosen in the recent election and with many important governmental problems awaiting solution by the law makers, the Fifty eighth congress has assembled for it's second and final ses- sion today.
 When the senate was called to order by Senator Frye, the president pro tenn, and the house of representatives by Speaker Cannon, Washington had wakened up. Since April the govern ment departments have been steadily grinding away at routine business, faithfully executing the mandates of congress. Senators and representa- tives have been at home safeguarding their political interests.
 For a week they have been hocking to Washington with their plans, hopes and ambitions; their intrigues, enmi- ties and jealousies. The stroke of the gavel at the opening was the signal to send them away in the race for po- liticaI prestige. The presidents mes sage, which will be read to the assem- bled bodies tomorrow, will be the guide of those friendly to the adminis- tration.
 The members of congress chosen at the last general election will not take office until after March next.

Governor Elect Douglas win Have
 Indian Fighter on Stan.
 BROCKTON, Mass, Dec 5.-~Lieu- tenant General Nelson 4. Miles, re- tired, has accepted the appointment Of adjutant general on the stan of Gov er1lor Elect William l.. Douglas. This information has been made public by MT. Douglas and is his first statement concerning the matter.
 MT. Douglas returned to his home in. this city after stay of two weeks in Hot Springs, Va.
 During my absence from the state, z said Mir Douglas, T had consulta tions with Lieutenant General Miles about military affairs in Massachusetts. The ideas of General Miles and myself con- corning these affairs are in exact ac- cord, and General Miles will undoubt- edly be my chief military adviser dur ing my administration. I shall prob ably request the war department at Washington to detail General MiIeS to report to me under the provisions of a law recently passed by congress, and the general will undoubtedly accept the detail"
 General Miles was retired on Aug 5, 1908. The fact that no word of eulogy or commendatton came either from Secretary of War Root or from the president caused comment all over the country and Miles friends considered that he had been i'll used.
 The original cause Of friction was said to be General Miles attitude upon the policy pursued in the Philippines.

Italian Crown Prince raptized.

ROME, Dec. 5.-The infant crown prince of Italy was baptized at the Quirinal yesterday. The weather was showery, but this did not prevent a great crowd gathering at the palace to witness the ceremony and the distin- guished guests. The ballroom of the Quirinal, used for the baptism, was transformed into a chapel and beauti- fully decorated. The crown prince be- haved splendidly, his only outcry be- ing when he felt the holy water upon his forehead. After the ceremony King Victor Emmanuel kissed his little son, and the queen made the round of the room to show the crown prince to ev- erYbody.
