i. a general determination among oeoa-
tors ON both sides Of the chamber to make
the President and the State Department
understand how vigorously they resent
the course of the administration ID the
-bole Ssntn Domingo affair and that the
Senate means to be firm from the start on
all similar deals hereafter. This resentment
will be shown by recasting the treaty IN
such way that it will, when finally
ratified, bear only the slightest reSem-
bIance in form to the document sent 10
the Senate from the State Department.
while its provisions will confne the
functions of the executive in carrying 1t
into effect within the nsrrowest possible
limits More than this, the document
evolved by the Senate will MAKE 1t en-
tirely plain that this government Will
not permit its course in dealing win

precedent by future administrations or
by foreign governments in cases arising
from the financial complications OF other

SINCE President Roosevelt pocket
vetoed the Washington modified anti
smoke law, the authorities in that city
are vigorously enforcing the old law and
every day fines are imposed for its viola
ton. As it is simply impossible to con-
duct manufactures without smoke, it is
believed that many such concerns will
be driven out of Washington. There
are many eligible sites for manufactures

regards eight years as long enough ioi
any man holding federal sppointive
position TO draw a salary from the gov
eminent. There is pow hardly a man
in the diplomatic or consular service
who has served eight years and Is TO
hold on. and it is expected that the
President will apply the same rule to
practically every presidential appointee
now holding a position. This includes
departmental positions, poslothces, COL
lectors and high and low places. The
President, however, has not failed to
state that he has no cast-iron rule In
this respect, and, he might have added,
in any other. His general rule, how
