MAY RECOGNIZE MORALES.
Rumored Plan to End Difficulties in
San Domingo-Can Maintain
Stable Government

Washington, March 21.-It is prob
able that an end may be made of the
Dominican difficulties by the extern
sion on the part of the United States
government of full recognition to Gen.
Morales as president of San Domingo
One result of the Mayfiower's trip was
to confirm the official opinion that
Morales has sufficient strength of char
acter and resources to maintain a
stable government if the United States
and other nations will prevent the
illicit supply of arms and ammunition
to the insurgents. AS it is, the ar
rival of every vessel with ammunition
in her cargo marks the revival of the
revolutionary movement which seems
quite purposeless. The state depart
ment already has given some informa-
ton on this subject to the shipping
interests doing business with San
Domingo, having satisfied itself that
nearly all of the arms and ammunition
imported into San Domingo came from
the United States, and there may be
further action in that direction before
long, all with the view to terminate
the present deplorable condition in
San Domingo without direct interven-
ton by the United States.

81 y The Question - W
\ of Army Supplies in the !
= Far East 4
Can the Siberian Railway Meet Military
of H.

O00, 900 roubles of Economics" in his
pocket.
Assuming that this precious railway
does not break down and is not blown
up, how will it be able to satisfy the
demands made upon it? To answer
that, We must form some idea of what
those demands will be.
Officially the Russian army in Man
churia is supposed to number 100000
men. Of this number, according to
the usual estimate, about 40 per cent.
will be efficient-or, say, 10000 men.
AS Port Arthur is said to have gar
rison of 10000 men, and as there must
be garrisons at Vladivostok and Har-
bin, and as, moreover, the railway will
have to be protected, it is safe to as
sumo that the available Russian field
force is not more than 100000 nor less
than 10000 men, An army corps of
10000 men and 10000 horses, if dis
patched from Russia to reinforce this
field army would require 104 trains of
80 cars, of the kind in use, and mill
tary authorities give the rate of travel
ing at 200 miles a day. The Siberian
railway, which has length of about
5000 miles, is stated to be capable Of
running six such trains a day. That
means an interval of II days between
the departure of the first draft and
the last. The journey at 200 miles a
day would take rs days; thus it would
take AZ days, or six weeks, to trans

commerce that is still carried on, and
though the Hudson Bay company has
changed to some extent and is to-day
more of merchandising corporation,
selling for cash such goods as are de-
manded by the better class of the An
glo-Saxon race, goods which are trans
ported by railroad, it still does a large
business with the Indians in which
beaver skins are accepted as currency,
and the larger part of this business
flows in and out of Hudson Bay. York
Factory is still the rendezvous of the
trappers. To it comes the dog trains
of the north, the Red river carts, the
almost endless chain of canoes padded

tween the wheat fields of the western
plains of the Dominion to the hungry
mouths of Europe. The little settle

venturers began pushing inland in
their efforts to obtain greater wealth
of furs. The traders pushed their bark
canoes up the rivers and eventually
reached the lakes of Manitoba. With
in so years from the time that marked
the beginning Of this spirit of conquest
that impelled the traders to travel in
land they had crossed the continent,
Hudson Bay trading posts were scat
tered throughout the valleys of the
Red and Saskatchewan rivers and their
tributaries and extended as far west
as the Rocky mountains. To these
posts came the products of English
factories, and from them were sent
the products of the trappers of the
Northwest.
1t was this commerce which brought
