OPPOSITION TO
TREATY GROWING
Document viii Have Hard lime
in the Senate
BLACKBURN GIVES REASON
Precedent of Making Uncle Sam a Re-
ceiver Will Cause Endless Trouble
In the Future According
to His Views.
BLACKBURN GIVES REASON

Washington, March s0.-lSpecial)-Sen
ator Blackburn of Kentucky, believes
the action of the President in the Santo
Domingo matter will have the effect
os defeating the ratification of the treaty.
He believes that not only will the demo-
Gratis be united against the treaty, but
there may not be entire accord among
the republicans.
He bases the latter proposition on the
action OF the Senate on the arbitration
treaties. which, as the senator explains,
were not "on all fours" with the Santo
Domingo treaty. but in the main respect
that of executive assumption-resemble
the treaty.
"In the arbitration treaties" said Sem
ator Blackburn today, the President
insisted that the Senate should retain
the word agreement On the other hand
the Senate placed the word treaty in
tho instrument. Only two republican sem
ators-Fairbanks and Platt of Connect
icut, voted to sustain the contentious of
the President Both sides almost solidly
voted against him. This Santo Domingo
treaty Is even a more fragrant violation
of the rights of the Senate. The treaty
possesses, however, very Objectionable
features, per Sc, as for example, the debt
collecting preeendent established. That
this country will be involved in endless
trouble through the attempt to regulate
the payment of the Santo Domingo debt,
goes without saying. The question of
precedence in payment of debtors will
cause enough difficulty.
Responsible to No One.
"A receiver in bankruptcy can get in
structions from a court about prefer
ences.. Here we can pay whom we please.
Naturally every debtor will want to be
the first paid and each will bring every
influence at his command to secure early
payment. Another important point in the
treaty Is the fact that the agents we
send TO Santo Domingo to collect the
custom receipts are not amenable to the
laws Of that country, and yet the treaty
expressly states that the United States
1, not responsible for its agents.
II have great doubts. continued the
senator, " that the republican majority
will sustain the President in his latest
course. The temper of the Senate during
the session just closed hardly presages
an utter surrender of senatorial right
"As for Santo Domingo itself, l make
no doubt that Morales saw he was to
be ousted and in order to make safe his
rule called upon the United States for
help, which he could easily do under
a stretch of the Monroe doctrine. For
this he pays IS per cent OF the Islands
revenue. Had Morales been safely en-
trenched In office, ! am inclined to be-
lieve that the Santo Domingo creditors
would have to whistle for their money"

Russia Wants Peace.

Paris March D.-Regarding the state
ment telegraphed from st. Petersburg
that Russia's negative precedent to peace
has been made known, a parsonage who
is conversant with Japans attitude In
the matter said to the Associated Press
today:
.sRussia's evident desire for peace is
observable to Japan the same as to the
rest of the world, and Japanese statesmen
doubtless possess superior facilities TO
correctly estimate the peace tendencies
in responsible Russian quarters. Japan
knows that Russia wants peace without
indemnity. without humiliation and with
out rigorous terms. But this does not
fulfll the requirements necessary to ne
EQUATIONS for peace. On the contrary,
IL Russia wants peace, certain definite
steps are necessary. 1t is essential that
E,nneror Nicholas personally pronounce
himself for peace, and Japan is fully
aware that he is the sole autocratic
power.
After that, instead of a vague intima-
ton. it will be essential TO adopt the
usual formalities of suing for peace. Con-
cerning Indemnity. no one Is authorized
to state the amount which Japan will
claim. but 1t is clear that some very sub
stantial indemnity Is necessary as COM
nensation for Russia's causing Japan to
engage in costly war. Concerning other
terms. these are varying as the cam
paign progresses. and the taking OF Vladi-
vostok will make further material change
in the condition on which peace will be
possible"
France Has Not Acted.
1t can be definitely said that. France
has not acted as an intermediary In In
formal approaches whereby the govern
ments of St. Petersburg ana Toxic were
several days ago made aware Of the gen
eral attitude of each other. Foreign Min
lister Delcasse has said within the last
twenfy-four hours that nothing whatever
In the way Of a tangible peace PROPOSE
tion from either side has come to his
knowledge. He is sincerely hopeful that
!. some such proposition will materialize'
.bnt considers the present movement en-
tireiy too vague and lacking in RESPONSE
bility to inspire much prbspect Of SUCCESS.

Our bark had crept up the bay be-

Choir off an inlet. There was a small
village at its mouth and when the
darkness grew, lights cleaned from

There is not on the earth locality
in which figs grow with greater abun-
dance and of better quality than in
South Texas, yet, strange to say, no
attention is given to- preserving the
fruit for the market. A fig orchard
would cost but little. The tree is en-
during and subject to few diseases.
Nothing more profitable could be en-.
gagged in But we should not despair.
For it should be remembered that it
has only been within few years that
the Texans have commenced to mar
ket peaches, cabbages, eggs and a
thousand of other things that they for
merly thought could only be used at
home. In time the State will be
known as the greatest in preserving
figs and in drying them for the mar.
