Domingo and that 1t may be some time

Washington, Jan. ~. = Secretary Hay
will send to the senate a treaty to take
the place of the protocol, through which
the United States intended to take
charge Of the financial affairs Of the gov.
eminent Of Santo Domingo. and admin-
lister them to the end that the claims q
all persons against the island shall b
equitably met. A communication to
that effect was sent to the senate and bH
Senator Cullom laid before the commit
tee on foreign relations Friday. Sem
ator Cullom gave to the committee the
result of conference he had had with
Acting Secretary of State LOOMS, to the
effect that the protocol by which the
United States representatives tooh
charge of the islands finances has not yet
been received at the state department,
but is now en- route to the United States.
In view of the communication, Senator
Bacon moved that the resolution Of In
quiry lie over without prejudice, until
the full statement has been received
from the state department.
After adje1lRmsnt Of the COMMITTEES
it was unda IA that Acting secrs-
tary Loomis had told Senator Cullom
that is is unlikely a treaty could be me-
gotiated during the present session Of
congress. It is said that the papers n
the case cannot be received in time fof

tee say, however, that it is expected
treaty will be placed before the sen-
nate by February Is and that 1t villa

Gov. Cummins is in receipt of pathetic
letter from a central Iowa town. The
massive is signed The Woman's Vigil
lance committee" but other than this
has no signature, and the governor is at
loss to know where to send reply.
The letter is cry of distress from
women in the town and asks assistance
to save from destruction the homes
which are being desolated by the saloons
which the village entbodies. A portion
of the letter follows: Being oppressed
with the saloon element, We, the
womans vigilance committee, ask you
to come to our rescue, for God only
knows our suffering. We have ten sa-
looms now, and another is being built.
There are slot machines in eight OF them,
and in one of them there is faro table
and roulette wheel In every saloon
there are tables and chairs where card
playing and gambling are going on al
most continuously, and they also have
screens in each place to obstruct the
front view, which is contrary to the
mulct law. This lawless evil is running,
