sANTo DOMINGO AGREEMENT
WILL NOT BE RATIFIED AT
PRESENT SESSION.
TO ADJOURN THIS WEEK
Senate VIII Probably Quit Work for
the Session Either Tomorrow or
Friday-senator Bacon Improved
After illness of Yesterday.

Washington, March 15.-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 for few months
1t Is quite probable that the senate
will adjourn tomorrow or Friday.
Nominations Confirmed.
The senate today confirmed the nom
nations Of all the officers nominated
to be brigadier generals on the retired
list.
Senator Bacon Better.
Senator Bacon, who was seized with
illness yesterday while making q
speech in the senate, Is much i'm
proved today.
Democrats Are Solid.
The republicans have been depend
Ing on some democratic support for the
treaty and have counted as certain the
votes Of Senators McEnery and Foster
of Louisiana and Clarke of Arkansas
Senator German, minority leader, gave
notice last night that these senators
are now pledged against the treaty.
The republicans had planned to re
call their absentees, but 1t was re-
ported tonight that even with the full
republican strength present the neces
sary two-thirds for ratification coul6
not be mustered If there is no defec
ton of democratic votes.
Republican Ranks Depleted.
The depletion of the republican
ranks by reason of the vacancies II
Missouri and Delaware, the absence o
senator LaFollette, who has not takel
the oath Of Office, and of Senators AL.
drich and Knox is greatly felt by tn
republicans, who are striving for favor
able action on the treaty.
A canvass of the senate has not de
veloped the necessary tow-thirds af
firmative vote, even counting all re
publicans as present or paired. If, TIL
statement Of the democrats that ther
will be no division in their party prove
correct, or IL the two Louisiana sena
tors and Clarke Of Arkansas shoul
vote against the treaty, there is n
chance for ratification Of the treaty
