This seems to be a soft euphemism
to ease the President into the exc

the Senate can decide whether they
will ratify all that he has done or rat

body. which, If ratified, will revoke
all that he has done. It is a queer

OF this situation will be easily seen
by the public, and l will not enlarge
upon it.
Inls new device seems to be the
suggestion of our minister, Dawson,
at Santo Domingo, who is greatly
alarmed at the alleged pressure Of
the creditors Of Santo Domingo, and
at the possible overthrow of Morales,
the butcher-priest, who is now held
nj his Office by the presence of our

leap to their feet. The lightning play
had s%carsely subsidized when a blue

the momentum sent them spinning
into rivers of water and mud that
rushed through the street. Neither

signal, and the car brought up with
a jerk that pitched the passengers
head forward at one another. Every
