There Is No intention Of
Annexing Country.

washington, Feb. 1.-THE message
TO senate OF protocol Of an agreement
between the United States and the
Dominican government. providing for
the collection and disbursement by the
United States OF the customs revenues
OF the Dominican republic. was ordered
made public. together with the proto-
col. letter from John u. Moore. form

under the former protocol and the
award commission which settled the
claims OF the San Domingo Improve
ment company. The senate went into
executive session Immediately aiter
morning business. at which time THIS
action was taken.
The message Is OF nearly $500 words
and was read IN full 10 the senate. II
IL largely a discussion Of the rights ana
duties OF the United States under the
Monroe doctrine and the president
says the protocol affords practical
test Of the efficiency Of the United
States government In maintaining the
doctrine. In beginning his message the
president says that conditions In san
Domingo have been growing steadily
worse for many years and debts have
been contrnoted beyond the powers OF
the republic 10 pay. Certain foreign
countries. he says. have felt themselves
aggrieved because OF the non payment
OF debts due their citizens and have
felt that the only way they could ever
get any guarantee Ct payment would
be hy acquisition OF territory or taking
charge OF customs affairs Of the
republic.
II Is pointed out by the president
that the Monroe doctrine would pro-
hlblt any foreign government from
stepping In. and he says that those who
profit by this doctrine must accept
certain responsibilities along with the
rights II confers lie says further:
The justification for the United
Sthets taking this burden and Incur
ring this responsibility Is to be found
IN the fact that Il Is Incompatible with
international equity for the United
States 20 refuse 20 allow other powers
10 take the only means al their dis
poEal Of satisfying che claims OF their
creditors and yet 20 refuse itself TO
take any such steps"

7 -esident that this government does
not propose 20 take any part of santo

troll over the island. save what Is nee
essary to lis financial rehabilitation.

were not for sale at higher prices, and
several parcels of spot sugars put into
warehouse at above 1-2c. are now
coming out at 4 1-4c. In view of the
improved demand for refined, the re.
finers may be stimulated to buy more
freely of raws for current wants at
present level. Some $4,000 bags Cubas
were taken late yesterday for ship
ment to New Orleans at lac. duty
paid for 90 degrees test basis.
The Cuba quotation for shipment is
now 2.27-32c. cost and freight for 95
degrees test basis, equal to 4 1-4c. duty
paid for SO degrees test. No import
ant change from these quotations is in
sight at the moment.
From Cuba no change of interest has
occurred. The receipts continue about
normal for the season and a few CEN
trails continue to produce few more
sugars.
Refined. our analysis of
the refined sugar market last week, a
general decline of Zoe. per 100 pounds
was made on Friday, and again on
Monday another decline of SC. per 100
pounds was made, the Federal stand
ing sc. per 100 pounds below the
others, unit yesterday when it ad-
vanced Sc. to the general level. These
rapid declines of 35c. per 100 pounds
from the recent high level have natur-
ally brought in good buying demand
for absolute wants and all refners re-
port a good business. AS long as
this condition lasts there would seem
to be no occasion for lower quotations,
the general trend of the sugar mar
kets being downwards there is no
occasion for an advance in refined,
which would only come from an un-
usual and uexpected violent demand
from the trade who have allowed their
stocks to run below the handto-mouth
basis. There is also some improve
ment in the methods of distributing
sugars which tend to strengthen the
position of refined, so that it is prob
ably well to carry for while during
the busy fruit season fair supply for
current wants. Later on the move
ment to the new crop level must be
renewed.

CUBA LETTING SUGAR
GO AT REDUCED PRICE
Prospect Of Heavier Buying by Refners to Meet
Current Demands-No Good Reason for
Decline on Next Crop.

Willet & Gray's Sugar Trade Jour.
nal for June % contains the following
information and comment on the mar.
ket:
Visible Supply-Total stock of Eu-
rope and America, 2,15S,91S tons
against 2,554,3S1 tons last year at the
same uneven dates and 2,756,29S tons
at the even date of Jan. lst., 1905. The
decrease of stock is 395,463 tons
against a decrease of 4l2,905
tons last week, and decrease
of 1,0o5,74Q tons January LIST,
1905. Total stocks and afioats, to-
gether, show visible supply of q
293,91s tons, against 2,727,3s1 tons
last year.
Raws.-The London quotations for
beet sugar during the week under re-
view gives a remarkable confirmation
of the forecast of the course of the
markets, as given by us last week,
which. at the time, caused consider
able comment. From lis. 10 lid, last
week the quotations have come lis.
Cd, lis. Id, lis. Lid, the last
quotation being the close for the week
without any rally whatever during the
week.
The new crop quotation has also par
ticipated to some extent from los. last
week to 9s. Sd, now for October-De-
cember delivery. There is no good
reason why next crop quotations
should descend, except from sympathy
with the current markets, while nnd-
ing the normal level for the combined
new and old crops which should not
be less than los. and may prove to be
higher. In the meantime, however,
present general conditions, lncluqlng
fine favorable weather for the grow
ing crops. have an over-powering in
fluence everywhere.
Even Cuba finds it of advantage to
let go sugars which short time ago

IN SHIPPING OF SUGAR

one, steamers leaving here every ten
days for Central America. From there
they will run to San Francisco and
thence back to the islands.
AS before stated, 10000 tons of sugar
will be reserved for the sailing ves-
sells to carry around the Horn as in
ton on the Coast will be handled as at
present. The changes will be only in
regard to handling the sugar sent to
the Atlantic Coast.
There are two reasons why the con-
tract will not go into effect before a
year from next December The new
vessels ordered by the American-Ha-
waiian Company will not be finished
before that time, neither will the Te-
huantepec Railroad be completed and
open for business for over a year.
Between 10000 and 10000 tons of
sugar are now being shipped overland
from San Francisco to New Orleans
and thence taken to New York by boat
This will be diverted to the American
Hawaiian ships and with the time of
travel cut down from 70 days, the time
it now takes to send sugar around the
Horn, to 40 or even So days, step
has been taken by the sugar interests
which will be found to help Hawaii in
more ways than one.

TOXIC, July S, 2:30 p. m.-Baror
Komura and suite left the Shimbash
railroad station this afternoon for Yo-
kohama, and was given a hearty send
off. The elder statesmen, cabinet min
listers, generals, admirals, court digni.
taries, together with representatives OF
important societies and associations
several hundred in number, had gather
ed at the station several minutes ahead
Of time, testing the capacity of the
| spacious platform to it's utmost.
Nature seemed to favor the depar-
| ture of the Peace Commission, for the
day happened to be bright and warm,
something not often experienced during
the rainy season, which new prevails.
Such a large gathering of distinguish
ed personages. official and otherwise, is
not frequently seen on the Shimbashi
station platform, and the enthusiastic
cries of 'Banzais" drowned the whis-
tie and noise of the train as it moved
off with Baron Komura on board.
Baron Komura has already shown
rare ability as a successful diplomat,
and he now goes on his important mis-
sion with the full confidence of all con-
cerned.
The streets were lined with cheering
crowds, and all the city was decorated
with lanterns and flags. The electric
cars We're also decorated with flags.
The editorial comments of the press
are unanimous in wishing Baron Ko-
mura and suite success.
The whole of Toxic is apparently
rejoiced at the prospect for peace,
after the many months of sanguinary
warfare, which was forced upon Japan.

State will hereafter be transacted In
the name of subsidiary concern
which is controlled by the Kansas
Natural Gas Company. Commenting
upon the decision, President Barnsdall
said:
The Supreme Court decision will
not injure us to any extent. We
have other companies doing business
in Kansas"
The Kansas Natural Gas Company
has s1200O,00r stock and $4,000, 900
bonds, of whill nearly all is held in

porated in Delaware and has oil and

pledge that. they would be granted in
dependence; in fact, japan in both her
wars has been fighting for that, and
has declared herself in favor of it.
T But they feel further that their ma
tive land may be SO thrown open that
large numbers of Japanese coolies will
establish themselves there, and if so
they see suffering ahead for them
selves.
While they have a friendly feeling
for Japan, they do not want her to
assert herself forever, and 1t is their
great hope that she viii, after term
of years, grant them what they ask
and hope neutrality-suspicious.. If may
not come for five years, or fifteen, but
they would like to feel assured that it
that meanwhile they could prepare
themselves for it.
And so upon hearing of the Peace
Conference the Koreans here thought
that they could perhaps do some
thing, and show their interest in their
country by sending a representative,
and this they are preparing to do.
On the occasion of Secretary Taft's
visit to Honolulu they wished to pre-
sent a memorial to him, and did so
through the kind offices of the Rev. J.
w. Wadman of the Methodist church
and Acting Atkinson. Mr.
Yoon was enabled to meet Secretary
Taft and present a memorial bidding
him welcome to Hawaii in the name
of the Koreans, and asking him not to
forget the interests of their country in
his visit to the far East. Upon learn
