THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Hoped Obligations Of The Doctrine
Would Be Met.

Washington, Feb. General San
chez, the Dominican minister, has
been informed of the firm policy
adopted by the Washington govern
ment in San Domingo. He is cabling
his government regarding it. 1t is
apparent that the long pending Do
minican problem is reaching crisis
that will demand immediate attention.
The German government has well
nigh reached the limit of its patience
in dealing with San Domingo and the
London and Paris governments show
an equal Impotence with affairs there.
All these governments had hoped that
Washington would meet the obliga-
ton placed upon it by the Monroe doc
trine and put an end to the unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs. If the United
States had not acted, it can be stated,
European nations would call the situa-
ton to its attention. The German
ambassador had brief conference
with the president.

JOINT TARIFF UNLAWFUL.
A Mere Suhtc rfuge To Give Concession
Of Rates,

Washington, Feb. 6.-The interstate
commerce commission has decided that
the action of the three railroad COM
panies entering Hutchinson, Kars., in
dividing rates on salt with the Hutch
inson & Arkansas railroad company,
so-called railroad company, is unlawful

subterfuge to give a concession in rate.
The decision says that the Hutch

owns over 1000 feet of siding adjoining
plants of the observation-disclosures Salt
company, has no equipment or rolling
stock and it's earnings are controlled
by the salt company. The latter, it

SENATOR HANNA HAS TYPHOID.
His Age And Rheumatic Condition Make
The Case Serious.

Washington. Feb. s.-SenatOr Hanna
is officially pronounced to have typhoid
fever. The following bulletin was IS
sued by his physicians:
Senator Hanna has typhoid fever.
The diagnosis is confirmed by the com
plete blood examination reported by
DR.. Edward Brown. The senator rested
fairly well during the night. and his
tcmperture is 100, pulse So.
DR. Behrond is a microposic expert
in this city He made two tests. The
first one showed the presence of the
typhoid bacillus. The second test was
made to confiem the first one.
The question of sending for the
members of Senator Hanna's family
was discussed with the physicians and
it was decided that it was not neces-
sary at present to send for them. The
physicians say the outlook is hopeful
for recovery and that the crucial
period of his illness should be passed
in about a week. They say that in
most cases of that illness.
1t is realized that the senator's ad-
vanced age and his rheumatic condi-
ton make the ease more serious than
in young man but the belief is ex-
pressed by his family that he will
recover though he will be confined to
to his bed for a considerable period.
