FEARED COMPLICATIONS MAY AIssE.

Washington, March I'm view of
the expected adjournment of the pres
ent extra session of the senate with
out favorable action upon the pending
Dominican treaty it is understood that
the state department has determined
to proceed with the collection of Gus
toms at Puerto Plata and Monte Cristi
under the terms of the arbitration
award OF last year. It is. possible that
there will be some change in the per-
sonnel of the collectors force and as
the agent in charge. Mr.. Abbott, has
been designated as such by the San
Domingo Improvement company, the
beneficiary of the award, the state de.
partment itself probably will now
name the agent and confirm the selec-
tion of subordinates to be assigned to
duty in the customshouses. In this
connection the name of Professor Hol
lander of Johns Hopkins university,
at one time treasurer of Porto Rico,
has been considered. So with this ex-
ception there will be no change in the
relations between the United States
and San Domingo during the coming
summer.
Complications Are Feared.
It is feared. however that complica-
tions may arise through the action OF
some Gl the European powers wflesa
citizens are heavy creditors Of Sants>
Domingo. These claims have been
held in allowance because the Euro
pean governments interested desire to
shape their policies relative to. santo
Domingo by those Of America, being
desirous OF avoiding any friction that
would cause i'll feeling in this countr!
and apprehension that the integrity OF
the Monroe doctrineI was an Object OF
attack The question is Whetae r;ssi q
view Of the failure ofsthe senate to act
fayorably upon the treaty which would
have provided the means for the pay
ment of these claims, the European
governments will longer refrain from
independent action to collect their
debts and although it is fully realized
here that such action, if attended by
coercive measures, will probably cause
an ebulition OF feeling in the country
similar to that attending the appear
ance of the allied fleet on the Venezu-
elan coast in the winter Of 1923, the
state department will not feel author
lied to intervene without protest.

IN CONNECTION WITH THE
COUNCIL.
CAR REMAINS ABSOLUTE
BUT PEOPLE ARE GIVEN RIGHT
TO VOICE THEIR DESIRES ON
NEW LAWS.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20.-Russia's
national representative assembly, the
fruit of decades of stress and striving
reform, which endows the Russian
people with the right of being con-
suited through their chosen represen.
tatives in the suggestion, preparation
and repeal of legislation, to-day takes
Its place among the fundamental in
situations of the empire.
In a solemn manifesto Emperor
Nicholas announces this morning to
his subjects the fruition Of his plans
summoning the representatives of the
people, as outlined by him in a
rescript issued on March 3, last, and
fixes the date for the first convocation
as mid-January, and in a ukase, ad-
dressed to the senate, formally orders
that body to register
As the Imperial Will
q law project, formulating the nature,
powers and procedure of the new gov
ernmental organization.
The national assembly will be q
consultative organization in connec-
ton with the council of the empire,
and not a legislative body. The pow
ers of the emperor remain theoretical
ly absolute. AS the emperor is the
supreme law giver and autocrat, the
decisions of the douma have only a
recommendatory and not a binding
force, though the rejection Of any
legislative by a two-thirds
majority of both houses is sufficient
to prevent the measure from becom-
ing law.
Can Voice Their Desires.
The representatives of the people
will have not only the right to be
heard on any legislation proposed by
the government, but also can voice
their desires on new laws, and will
have the right to exert a certain SUI
pervision rel budgetary expendit-
ures.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
universal. It is based upon property
qualification, the ~peasantry having a
vote through membership in commu-
nal organizations.
A considerable portion of the resi-
dents of the cities, possessing no
lands, together with women, soldiers,
civil f~unctionaries. etc., are without
suffrage. :

NO CHANGE IN RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-Russia's
official attitude regarding the final re-
ply to be made to Japan on Tuesday Is
unchanged. The impression prevails,
as heretofore, that only a very great
concession by Japan on the question
of indemnity and the cession of SAX
halin will make peace possible. The
questions pertaining to the limitation
of Russia's naval power and the sur
render Of her interned warships are
considered here to be quite ~suscepti-
BILE Of satisfactory arrangement and
not likely to cause serious trouble.

NEW ORLEANS WANTS A TEST.
citIzens Support Or. Leach and VIII
Act Independently Of Him.

Citizens Support Or. Leach and Will
Act Independently Of Him.
New Orleans, Aug. 22.-Every effort
to interest the New Orleans Medical
society in the experiments which DR..
Leach of st. Paul proposes to make
having failed, a mass meeting of citi-
zens has been called for Wednesday
night to take up the matter. This
was decided upon yesterday morning
at a meeting of the citizens commit
tee which has charge Of the matter.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the medical society had paid absolute
ly no attention to the committees let
ter asking that those interested in the
experiments be given an opportunity
Of seeing the tests made under the
auspices of the society.
As DR.. Leach has placed himself en-
tirely in the hands of the citizens
committee, he is not being consulted
in regard to the details of the arrange
ments for the tests. He declares that
he will be satisfied with anything that
the committee desires, and the COM
mittee has decided to see that the test
Is made.
Laymen to See the Test.
The mass meeting was called for
the purpose of appointing a committee
to observe the tests. 1t is thought
that the mass meeting will decide to
have the tests made under the obser-
walton of homeopathic and laymen.
The committee of observation will be
composed of some of the most promi-
nent people in the city.
Millions of mosquitoes were exter-
minated yesterday in almost every
home by the burning Of sulphur for
fumigation purposes.
~ conservative estimate places the
amount consumed at fifty tons, of
which ~thirty-fve tons were given free

company.
Preachers Urge Fumisation.
Ministers and priests delivered SER
mons yesterday urging the people Of
New Orleans to unite in a simultane-
Gus effort to rid New Orleans of the
stegomyia mosquitoes by burning five
pounds of sulphur to thousand cubic
feet Of air space in each room. Pack
e of sulphur were distributed yes
terday free to househoulders.
A strong appeal was made to the
people to assist the marine hospital
surgeons in eradicating the fever
through fumigation.
Fol several days the number of new
cases has shown a decline, while the
number of deaths have been remark
ably lower, considering the number of
cases reported a week ago.
Modern Methods Used.
The death list indicates that practi-
cally every case that develops is TO-
being reported, and that means that
the modern method of treatment to
prevent spread of fever is being ap-
piled. When that condition is assured
the end of the visitation is in sight,
and it looks as if that condition is ap-
preaching.
