MINISTRY
TRIUMPHS
Victorious in House
Of Commons by
81 to 248.

LONDON. Feb. 1e.-H. H Asquith's
amendment to the reply to the speech
from the throne was defeated in the
House of Commons tonight by vote
of 311 to PAS.
This amendment, which declared
that the prospects of the fiscal ques-
tion have been fully discussed in the
country for nearly two years and that
the time has come for submitting the
question to the people without further
delay" was debated throughout to-
days session of the House Of Commons
No particular interest was aroused
until within an hour of the time for
the division, when Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman spoke at some length at
tacking Premier Balfour and charging
that he was afraid to face the country
or the House of Commons with a
definite statement Of his position with
regard to Chamberlain's programme
The speaker challenged Balfour to ap-
peal to the country and taunted the
Government with flibustering in order
to gain time and delay inevitable de-
feat
Balfour replied, but did not afford
the opposition the satisfaction OF any
lengthy explanation of his opinion Of
Cham berlain'S policy.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-From the re-
markable results attained during the
last few days at Gouverneur Hospital
from a new treatment for cerebro-
spinal meningitis, it appears that sci
ence has won another decisive round in
its struggle with disease. Up TO the
present time there has been no accept
ed treatment for this dread disease. Its
mortality has varied from 80 per cent
in its worst stages of an epidemic to 80
per cent when the epidemic is on wane.
and of those cured large percenta ge
have retained their lives at the ex-
pense of their hearing, their power of
speech, their eyesight or the use of
their limbs.
Many men of science will doubt the
possibility Of a germ of one disease
killing that Of another, but the results
in eight cases under the charge Of DR..
Edward Waitzfelder at Gouverneur
Hospital are astounding.
That his antitoxin of diphtheria had
a remarkable effect upon the germ of
spinal meningitis was discovered about
four weeks ago by DR.. Wolf, bacteri-
experiments were confined chiefly to
the laboratory, though he tried his
antitoxin in four cases in Hartford,
upon request. DR.. Wolf sent to Dr.
Waitzfelder the results of his expert
ments and the latter put them at once
to the test in the Gouverneur Hospital.
to which most of the cases of men
ingitis among the poor were sent.
OF eight cases in which DR.. Waltz
fielder has used the antitoxin, five
have been absolutely cured without any
subsequent complications and two
show Improvement.
This is a result hitherto unparalleled
IN the history of disease. Dr. Waltz
fielder, who goes back in his experience
to the great epidemic of 1873, says that
he has never known seven consecutive
cases Of cerebro-spinal meningitis that
have recovered.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-As out
lined exclusively in a dispatch to The
Call yesterday, President Roosevelts
message transmitting the new Santo
Domingo protocol to the Senate is a
full discussion of the whole subject,
with the Monroe doctrine in the fore
ground. If we are to maintain the
Monroe doctrine and keet foreign
Governments out of the western
hemisphere, the President argues, We
must collect their debts for them. II
we are not to do this, then we must
either drop the Monroe doctrine or
fight for it under great disadvantages.
President Roosevelt is ready to un7
dertake the task. He invites the SEN
ate to join him. Sanguine, active.
ready to put thing to rights wherever
he thinks them wrong, the President

tive body does hesitate

problem of doing police and debt col

responsibilities which the Monroe doc
trine puts into the hands of the young

course, too early to say that the Senate
is disposed to be hostile Not many
of the Senators had read the Presi-
dents letter and protocol tonight, as
it was a very busy day in the Senate
But there is a disposition to go about
this business in leisurely fashion.
ARGUMENT OF SENATOR'S.
The older Senators argue in this
way: Suppose the Senate ratifies
this treaty, binds the United States to
keep order by using force and settles
Santo Domingos debt, which shall be
the next country the United States
must put in order? 1t will have es-
tablished a precedent for the Western
Hemisphere. 1t might be all right to
do this in Santo Domingo, because it
lies near its door; but suppose it has
to go next time to Uruguay or Pata-
gonia?
The United States did establish q
protectorate over Cuba, but Santo Do
mingo is not on all fours with Cuba.

UNION PACIFIC COMMON
TO PAY SIX PER CENT
Directors Statement Accounts for In
crease in Market Value of
Shares.

NEW YORK. Feb. ia director
of the Union Pacific said to-day that
when the directors of the company
considered the dividend question next
summer they would vote to place
common stock on a per cent divi-
dend basis. This statement accounts
for the strength in the stock recently
and for the predictions that Union
Pacific common would sell at $50
soon.
The promise of a 6 per cent rate
is amply justified by the earnings Of
the system, particularly in view of the
fact that the Southern Pacific may be
put on a dividend basis within the
present year, resulting in considerable
"other income" for the Union Pacific
through its ownership of $50, 900, 600
Southern Pacific stock.

President his answer
In addition to the Presidents dis
cussion of the Monroe doctrine in the
case of Santo Domingo, the protocol
itself makes specific declaration of its
application and in that respect is un-
usual in treaty making. The declara-
ton occurs in the second paragraph.
which recites that the Government Of
the United States views any attempt
OF governments outside of this hemi-
sphere to depress the destiny of the
Dominican republic as a manifestation
of an unfriendly disposition toward
the United States.''
TEXT OF THE MESSAGE.
In his message the President says:
The conditions IN the republic OF santo Do
ningo have been growing steadily worse for
many years There have been many disturb
contracted beyond the power OF the republic to
repay. Some OF these debts were properly con-
sTaered s,asn and are held BY those who have ls-
without question improper or exorbitant con-
stituting claims which should never be paid in
tull and perhaps only 10 the extent Of very

Certain countries have long felt themselves
aggrieved because Of the non-paymenf ~ Sshss
due to their citizens. The only vav bv which
foreign creditors could obtain from the
republic itself any guaranty OF payment would
be either by the acquisition Of territory out
right or temporarily or else by taking posses

Of a certain amount Of territory.
