sANTo DOMINGO RELATIONS.
Senator Teller introduces Resolution
of Inquiry.

Washington, March 16.-When the
senate met there was very interest
ing furry over Santo Domingo affairs.
Mr.. Teller (Colo.) introduced res
olution of inquiry asking the state de-
partment for all information concern
ing relations with the Dominican gov
ernment between July /. 1904, and
March /. 1906.
The reading of the resolution had
scarcely begun when Mr.. Cullom OBJ
jected to further reading, saying that
the matter pertained to executive ses-
sion business and should not be read
In open session.
After some discussion the resolution
was read and the senate then went
into executive session.
Soon after the senate went into ex.
ecutive session Senator Hepburn of
Idaho made an extended argument In
favor of the annexation of Santo Do
mingo. At the beginning of the last
congress Senator Hepburn introduced
resolution for annexation and sup
ported 1t at that time In a speech.
He declared that the destiny of this
as well as other islands was to be a
part of or under the control of the
United States.

Recently Engels sold some horses
and had In his possession some $500.
This was evidently known to the bur.
glars, who, after failing to find 1t, re-
sorted to brutality and through cruelty
attempted TO wiring the secret from
Mrs. Engels. The woman screamed in
agony and the robbers became fright

ALL HOPE ABANDONED or RATL
FLYING DOMINICAN coNvEN-
TIoN AT THIS TIME.
LEADERS TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT
SENATORS DESIRE MORE oPPoR.
TUNlTY TO SECURE INFoR-
NATION ON SUBJECT.

Washington, March 16.-Hope has
been abandoned of ratifying the Santo
Domingo treaty at the present session
of the senate. The treaty Is not dead,
but will be laid aside a few months.
Senator CuIIom of Illin6Rs, chairman
OF the committee on foreign relations,
who has charge OF the treaty In the
senate, has apprehended since the de-
bate opened on Monday that 1t would
be scarcely possible to secure favora-
BILE action upon 1t at this time.
While no definite agreement has
been reached yet 1t is quite probable
that the senate will put the treaty
aside without taking vote, thus hold
ing the convention before the body un-
til some later time. 1t Is pointed out,
however, that vote might be taken
and, IL the treaty should be rejected, a
motion to reconsider could be entered
and adopted by majority vote. This
would hold the treaty before the sen
ate.
Senator Cullom and several other
senators talked with the president dur
ing the day about the matter and all
the indications are that no definite ac-
tion on 1t will be taken at present.
Senators on both sides of the chamber
manifest a desire for more explicit in
formation regarding some phases OF
the Santo Domingo question before
The idea which meets greatest ap-
proval now Is that arrangements will
be made by the senate to acquire dur
Ing the recess of congress all informa-
ton concerning Santo Domingo affairs
that the senate may desire In order
that 1t may pass upon the treaty In
way satisfactory to itself. When the
senate shall convene next autumn with
all the members present the. treaty
will be taken up and considered In the
light OF the developments at that time.
In view of this tacit understanding
1t is quite probable the senate will ad-
journ Friday. 1t is known that sew
eral senator's have made arrangements
to leave Washington the latter part of
this week.
After the president had discussed
the situation of the treaty with the
senators who had called at the White
House he had conference with Sec
retaries Hay and Taft. The former,
who has been confined to his home for
several days with bronchial affec-
ton. went to the White House in his
carriage and at the conclusion of the
conference returned to his home. The
conference continued for considera-
BILE time, but while II is understood
that ii related to the Santo Domingo
question no details OF the discussion
were disclosed.

English Bard Was Right.

Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene of Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island of Zealand, whereas the Dan
ish prince lived and died in Jutland-
But just recently the municipal au-
thorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor,
have discovered in their archives that
an English company was acting in
their town in 1887 or 1888, and among
the names of the actors are several of
those who were acting with Shake
speare in London in 1889.
Obviously, these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Den
mark, and so Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore, and, when
he wrote Hamlet" naturally placed
the scene in a place which he knew
by description rather than in an island
of which he knew nothing. The poet
was no great stickler for accuracy in
geographical matters and this visit of
the English actors plausibly explains
the reason why the tragedy of Ham
let" was placed in Zealand and not in
Jutland.

WHAT is READ IN GERMANY.
How the Literature Differs from that
of America. sso~

The Germans are essentially a read
ing people-as much as, if not more so
than, any other In the world, says the
Review of Reviews. The periodical
literature, however, extensive and
high-class as 1t is, is very different
from that of England or the United
States, and even from that of other
continental European countries. In
the first place, it is a fact that the
farther south and east one goes in Eu-
rope, the less influential does he find
public opinion and the more servile
the press.
The French press has less freedom
than that of England, and the German
less than that of France. German pc
'riodicals differ from those of the Unit
ed States and England in another re-
spect-they are more infinitely differ
entiated. The Germans have month
lies, weeklies and dailies, and these

or industry. and there is no publica
ton combining fact and fiction, illus
tration, poetry, history and humor, IL

examples of in this country and in En-
gland.
! If the English and American press
is commercial, and the French artistic
the German may be said to be techni

periodicals devoted to technical indus

MODERN BULLET WOUNDS.
United States Army Surgeon Dis
courses on the Various Kinds.

United States Army Surgeon Dis-
courses on the Various Kinds.
In the course of an address In
which he described some of his ex-
perience as surgeon with the Ameri-
can army in the Philippines, DR.. w.
d. Webb stated that his personal OBJ
servations of the character of wounds
made by the modern smallbore high
velocity bullets was not in accordance
with what he had read in the litera-
ture of the subject, says the Hospital.
He found that he was quite unable TO
tell from the nature of the wound at
what range a wounded man had been
hit, or to say beforehand what kind
of wound would occur at a given
range. AS a general rule the nature
of the tissues struck was of more con-
sequence than the range at which the
bullet was fired.
Thus wounds of the Uranium or of
compact bones were accompanied by
extensive communion, while wounds
involving the soft tissues were, al
most always, perforating in charac-
! ter, with very small apertures of en-
trance and exit, He saw 9 number
of accidental wounds In the hands
and feet where the muzzle Of the rifle
was within a few inches of the in
jured member, and in these cases a
small perforating wound was the usu-
al result, unless the metacarpal or
metatarsal bones were involved, in
which case there was commonly pres
ent extensive communion, with fore
ing of the fragments outward and a
large wound of exit.
He saw a number of wounds made
at ten to twenty yards in native pris-
oners shot while attempting to escape,
and these again failed to show the ex-
plosive effect described for this range,
unless the Uranium was involved.
Three natives, shot at 1,400 yard
range, sustained perforating wounds,
with small apertures of entrance and
exit two through the chest and one
through the thigh. Wounds of the
head were accompanied by extensive
communication and usually resulted
in immediate death. Wounds of the
thorax We're in practically all cases
perforating, with small wounds of en-
trance and exit An uneventful recov
cry with few symptoms other than the
expectoration Of a small amount Of
blood was the rule, unless a larg,
vessel was involved, in which cast
J death usually occurred in the field.

Lockjaw, or tetanuS, Is caused by
the development in the body of the
tetanus bacillus, a germ living in the
soil in many places, especially in city
streets, round barns and stables and
in pastures. This bacillus does not
grow readily when exposed to the air.
so there is usually little danger of
lockjaw following large wounds. The
danger lies in the punctured wounds,
the ragged wounds, and often also the
seemingly trivial wounds which heal
rapidly, and SO seal up the tetanus
germ away from the air; there it finds
the conditions most favorable to its
development and the manufacture of
the nerve poison which causes the
symptoms of this terrible disease.
Such being the case, the treatment of
little wounds from pistols, torpedoes
and crackers is to make them bigger.
This requires some courage on the
part of the doctor, and the more cour-
age the smaller and apparently more
insignificant is the wound, and par
ents ought not to increase his trial by
pleading against the necessity of cut
ting deeply into the wound opening 1t
widely and washing it out thoroughly
with antiseptic solutions. 1t is only in
this way that the danger of lockjaw
can be reduced to a minimum, and
even this in exceptional cases does not
prevent the disease.
The modern treatment for this dis
ease is the injection of tetanus anti
toxin. Even this may fail If injected
simply under the skin or into the mus
cles. and the anttoxin has occasion
ally been injected into the sheath COW
ering the spinal cord, or even beneath
the membranes of the brain, so that it
may the more directly reach the nerve
centers chiefly affected by the poison
