Washington, March 15.-The Re.
publican leaders of the senate are all
1t sea respecting the action advisable
o take in regard to the Santo Domin-
go treaty, Recognizing that the Dem
ocrats control more than cne-thrd

luired to ratify the convention the
ientiment of Republican leaders is
hat the treaty should be withdrawn

On this subject the senate and
president do not agree and the idea
prevails that after one or two days
more Ct inconsequential discussion
he special session Of the senate will
le allowed to adjourn without date
and the treaty lapse. But this plan
S not popular in the senate and q
way to avoid it is being sought.
One alternative. which in the dis
,usson concerning it was termed
merely an excuse for inaction, is that
Senator Cullcm as chairman of the
committee on foreign relations
should offer a resolution directing the
president TO appoint a commission TO
make an investigation Of the Santo
Domingo debt and other questions in

agreed on tentatively as the program
most desirable under existing condi.

The resolution was not seriously

resolutions were adopted and the
Democrats felt that all information

Peabody-Adams gubernatorial con
test will come when the ani-Pea
body republicans decide to bring the
matter to vote in the Joint assembly
1t IS practically conceded that II OF
the 22 Mcdonald republicans are un
alterably in favor of retaining Adams
n the chair and will never vote for
seating Peabody permanently. They
may eventually vote to seat Peabody
temporarily, depending upon him to
resign and allow Lieutenant Governor
Mcdonald to succeed him.
1t is reliably reported that Peabody
has s gned an undated resignation of
the governorship and placed it in the
hands Of a third party TO be given
the anti-Peabody republicans when
ever tdey are ready to seat HIN.
While this suggestion may be fol
lowed by the anti-Peabody republi-
cans, they hesitate. fearing some
trick may be turned on them that
will keep Peabody in governor
chair and thereby defeat them in
their determination TO cause his re-
tiremcnt.

CLARK
AFTER A ROAD
VOICES THE DEMANDS OF THE
wAHIAwA COLONY FOR A PER-
MANENT HIGHWAY TO TOWN.

If the Wah ava road were put in
proper condition" said Byron O. Clark
this morning, 1T would mean a saw
ing of $4,000 this year in haulage alone
to the people of the colony, and 1 think
that the matter is one which the oahu
supervisors should deal with at once.
fully appreciate the necessities of 9TH
er districts, but those Of Wahiawa will
challenge comparison with others any
where.
Some people have the notion that
the road to the settlement is not 4
government road and that therefore the
county should do nothing, but the facts
are that one of the conditions upon
which the Ii Estate granted part of the
right of way was that the road through
their land should be fenced. This fence
has never been built, it is true, about
three miles of road, roughly speaking,
requiring six miles Of fencing would be
required and the building of this fence
would not be an expensive operation.
There would be no doubt then as to
the title to the road
" "The new part of the road is in fair
ly good shape, but the old part is full
of dangerous Chuck-holes which make
the travelling very hard. A point upon
which I would like very much to get
information is why people who never
travel the road are anxious to get its
location changed. The matter might
be worth investigating.
Another thing: The cantoneer sys-
tenn is simply a waste of money. A
cantoneer is employed to look after a
! long stretch Of road, but it should be
remembered that the proper time to re-
pair road is Immediately after a rain
rs it is. the cantoneer may go along
for mile or so after a rain, filing "
wet holes and the filing material {
quickly incorporated into the body {.
the road. When the road is dry, how
ever, he fills in the holes with dry dir
which simply pounds up into dust il
no time and leaves the road worse
than before. st believe that it woulC
be sound economy to try oil on the
Wahiawa road. I believe that it would
be much less expensive than rock ant
that after a while it might be put il
such a condition that We could use au
tomobile for hdulage to town."

NO ALIEN LABOR

here were aptly described and he was
asked to consider the situation as it
affects the rights of American citizens.
Perhaps the Presidents eyes were
fixed on Hawaii just at the time that
the Letter reached him and the mere
superscription Honolulu" was suffi-
cient to catch his eye for it was just at
the time that his daughter Miss Alice
was coming here that the cemmunica-
ton must have reached him. How
ever that may be, an instant reply was
received here from Secretary Loeb,
asking that full information be sent
the president at once as to the en-
ployment on government work in Ho-
nolulu of other than citizen labor
A quiet but careful survey of the
situation was made by people well able
to do so with the result that a report
goes forward to Washington by the
next mail and that report carries in it
not only faithful record of alien la
Dor now actually erlRloyed on govern
ment work but also an estimate of how
much money will be diverted from the
public to aliens should their employ
ment be permitted on the new harbor
improvements
The work is estimated to comprise
the removal of 100000 cubic yards of
material from, the harbor and the low
est bid for this was that of the San
Francisco Bridge Company of PAST
cents per cubic yard. Lieut.. Slattery
announced to John McMullen, the San
francisco Bridge Company's repre-
sentative, that he would send this bid
forward with a recommendation for
acceptance.
What the result of the activity of the
local labor men may be can of course
only be conjectured but with the keen
interest displayed by the president
there seems at least reason to believe
that there will be an insistance on the
inclusion of a citizen labor clause in
any contract that may come up for
signature.
Naturally the Bridge Company can
not be held to a contract which imposes
the use of citizen labor only when there
was no such stipulation made in the
original conditions but it is of course
possible that they may accept the new
condition if it is imposed.
Should they not do so there will be
nothing for it but the calling for new
tenders, an operation which may de-
lay the much needed improvements for
many months.
One department of the public service
which will be much concerned is that
of the army transports as the work
here of coaling is done mainly by Japa-
nese,
John McMullen of the San Francisco
Bridge Company whose chance of Sc
curing the contract seemed the rosiest
left for Seattle by the last Canadian

WILL PROTECT
THE SETTLERS
ALEWA AND MAKIKI LANDS WILL
BE CUT INTO LOTS OF ONE OR
TWO ACRES EACH.

The next government land to lie
opened up for settlers win be Makiki
and Alewa," said Land Commissioner
Pratt this morning. The Alewa land,
which amounts to some 175 acres, has
been spoken of as Nuuanu, but it is
not. 1t is across from Puunui. About
80 per cent to hazard a rough guess, is
fit for cultivation. The Makiki tract
is some $50 acres and about 60 or 70 per
cent of this is good land.
Both of these tracts will be cut up
into lots of about one or two acres AMI
in disposing of it the residence condi-
ton will be imposed and enforced. The
land is so near the city that the cut
ting of it up into large lots would bar
poorer people from the chance of get
ting homes for themselves. The land
is such that an acre or two will be suf-
ficient for the raising of crops Of
grapes, potatoes or other produce and
it is the departments intention to keep
out the spectators and get the bona
fide settlers.
Il cannot tell the exact date for the
opening of the land as at present the
Surveyor Generals department has IN
hand the looking up of the maps, lists
of land and so on.
when these lots have been dispos-
ed of we will tackle the Kau lands.

KBI HIN BANK
AND THE $3.50
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT TAKES
A HAND IN THE MATTER OF
ADVANCES TO EMIGRANTs.

AS was announced i'm yesterdays Star
the Japanese government has issued an
order in relation to the contracts made
by the Kei Hin Bank i'm Japan with
japanese emigrating to Hawaii. The
impression prevails among some of the
Japanese that the Kei Hin bank is pro-
hibited from doing business with emf
grants altogether. This, according to
the local representatives of the bank,
is not So The only class of business
interdicted is that where the bank
i'm the past has been i'm the habit of
loaning to prospective emigrants the
money they required to come to Ha-
wall, taking as security a contract with
them to repay it from their wages here
at the rate of $3.50 month.
All other kinds of business with
emigrants may be transacted and all
contracts made up to August / for the
repayment of loans to the bank in
monthly instruments are binding and
must be carried out.
Many of the local Japanese consider
this action of the japanese government
