Pending the ratification OF tho
Santo DOMINICAN treaty at the next
session Of Congress the President has
ordered that the United States gov
eminent shall act as the temporary
flrancial receiver OF Santo Domingo.
The announcement of this determi-
nation of the President created some
thing Of sensation among those who
believed that he would accept the
verdict OF the Senate that the treaty
was dead, but be Is upheld not only
hy thcsC Cabinet but BY some Of his
Senatorial friends, notably Senators
Lodge and Spooner and by the great
majority Of the people. 1t is under
stood now that when the extra ses-
sion OF Congress is called In October
the vote will be 10 favor OF the ratl-
ficatl0n but In the meantime the
terms of the unratiflcd agreement
Will be carried out as il 1t were In
force except that the revenues Of the
Island will not be distributed to the
foreign creditors until the Senate has
sanctioned the disbursement. The
determination OF the President to act
in the matter pending the re-assemb-
ling Of the Senate is a radical proceed
lire aud will come in for some heated
criticism when Senators Morgan,
Cammack and Bacon and others get
tho public ear, but tho people believe
that,thc President IL right and there
will be sufficient number Of Repub-
llcans 10 the Senate in the Fall tU
uphold him.
\ The Presidents action 10 this mat
ter Is tie subject ri the hour 10
T Washington, and among public men,
and guarantees a lively session Tor
the Senate next Fall as we'll as some
thing for the Senators to think about
duriaS the Summer. When the Sen.
ate meets again it will feel that IL
knows the President just little
better than IL ever did before. He
Z has had the advice and support OF
some Of the country's safest men In
this procedure and has had the en-
couragetnent of Senators Foraker.
Lodge. Spooner, Knox aud German,
all Ot whom are on the Foreign Re-
lati0ns committees. They have ac-
nuiesced 10 his view that the little
Republic had called for our assistance
