Dominican government and to pro-
mote the interests of syndicate ne
represented, which, 1t is alleged, holds
a mass of claims against Latin-Amerl-
can republics, including large part
of the debts against the Dominican
government.
The alleged disclosures We're debated
all day and the senate is divided las
to whether Senator Morgan made a
case. The democrats insist that he
did, while the leaders among the re-
publicans declare that the charges
were made UP mass Of matter which
contained no conclusive evidence
that Mr.. Cromwell had used any undue
influence. The speeches We're made
behind closed doors. Senator Morgan
held his audience to the conclusion OF
his remarks. The tentative program
of the senate continues to be adjorun-
ment without date on Saturday with
out permitting the Dominican treaty
to come to a vote. 1t Is probable that
it will be recommitted.
New Plan is Advanced.
Among the senate leaders today
new plan was advanced In regard 10
Santo Domingo, but it deals with the
next session of congress. 1t has been
suggested that if the whole matter Is
allowed to go owe, joint resolution
might be passed by congress to auth
orize the president to do the very
things that are proposed by the treaty.
If this course We're pursued maJofity
vote is all that would be required TO
Mace the entire matter in the hands
of the president. 1t is understood that
the plan found favor when it was sug-
cested at the white house by senators
who called there yesterday. some
doubt was expressed as to the consul
tutionality of dealing with this ques-
tion except by treaty, but the case OF
the annexation of Hawaii, which was
done by Joint resolution, was used as
a precedent and republican leaders
believe it to be feasible.
Adjournment of the session caIRspt
he had until Saturday because OF the
situation in relation to mountainous
for iudgships in Illinois, which cannot
he determined before that time.
treaty discussion will go on for the two
DAYS the session is expected 10 con-
tinue and something more may be eX-
pected of the charges made by sehalor
Morgan. 1t is probable that the ques-
ton Of the appointment of commits
sion to inquire into Santo Domingos
affairs. particularly as to the character
of her indebtedness, will come up IN
variety of forms, but the adoption OF
anv such plan is not considered likely.
Morgan Springs Bon'bsheIi.
Senator Morgan took the floor soon
after the senate went into executive
session. and at first gained Slight at
tention. until his charges were devel-
oped. The senator said that he knew
the Readers we'll and that there were
other senators who knew them; they
were the original concessionaires in
Santo Domingo and a treaty had been
drawn up between them and the Do
mincan government. which the Read
ers were to present to this government
for consideration This treaty, he SAID,
was interfered with by Mr.. Cromwell,
who. the Readers charge, induced the
Morales government to nulllfy 1t un-
der promise that the United States
would deal directly with Santo Do
mingo.
Papers were read, charging that Mr..
Cromwelrs intent began prior to the
Dillingham; Sanchez agreement and
it was alleged that he sent an agent to
President Morales. and used an argu-
ment that the United States was ready
to finance the Dominican government
