SENATOR'S STUDY
DOMINICAN TREATY
Republican Opinion Leans Toward
Ratification Urged by the
President.

Washington, March 6.-The Santo Do
mingo treaty was taken up today by the
senate committee on foreign relations.
Daily sessions of the committee will be
held until report is made.
There has not been sufficient discus
sion in committee to determine what the
sentiment is as to amending the docu-
ment. Senator Morgan has fled pro-
test against it, and he will antagonize
the treaty.
It is not certain that the treaty will
be approved by the senate, altho the
president 8 message transmitting it
made a strong impression, and there is
a general opinion among republicans
that it should be ratified. The demo
Gratis oppose the treaty on general prin-
ciples, but it is said that seven or eight
of them can be depended upon to vote
with the republicans for ratification:
Much time will be required for de-
bate in the senate. It is hoped a. con
clusion can be reached by March 25
when the president leaves on his south
ern trip, but this is not assured.
In fact, it is by no means certain that
some of the republicans will not favor
notifications of the treaty which woult
render it useless to the president, or in
sist on its rejection. because Of the pre-
cedent it would establish, rendering
necessary similar conventions, appllca
BILE to other South and Central Ameri
can republics.
The president intends to send in
supplemental message bearing on tn
Santo Domingo treaty.
1t developed that there was much or
position in the committee to the phrase
ology Of the protocol; without relatio
to the policy involved. 1t was under
stood that Senator Spooner would offe
a number of amendments and that Ser
ators Bacon and German would spea
against the policy of making a CONVEX
ton by which this government woul
enter upon debt-eollectin enterpris
in the Latin-American republics.

BANK ASSETS In
GEORGIA SHRINK
Receiver Baird Reports to Wash
ington Officials as to Fari-
49, bault Claims.
By w, w. Jern ane,

Washington. March 6.-Lyman D.
Baird, receiver of the First National
Bank Of Faribault, Mimi, returned from
Georgia today, and started for Mime
sofa late this afternoon. He spent sew
eral hours in conference with the con-
troller of the currency and his assist
ants, and went over in detail the condl-
tion of the Georgia assets of the de-
funct bank.
His report suggests that these assets
are hardly as great as was at first be-
heved. Certainly they are no better.
d. The bank has a mortgage securing
bonds for $50, 900 against the De Soto
Fruit & Agricultural Manufacturing
company. which owns 5000 acres Of land
Near Americas, Ga. In addition to the
$4,000. the company owes 10000 OF
other claims TO the bank, making total
of about one hundred and ten thousand
dollars due the bank, and $4,000 due
other parties. 0ne-half OF the 5000
acres is under cultivation and 600 acres
are in peach trees, three years old.
The bonds, while overdue, cannot be
sued on until May /, under clause
which provides they must be overdue a
certain length of time before action can
be brought. G2 May Mr.. Baird will
bring his suit.
The other Georgia debtor Of the
bank is the Minnesota Lumber com
This company owes the bank about
100000, of which $4,000 is nominal,
secured by mortgage, but as the Fari

THE WASHINGTON LIFE

New York, Dec. 2o.--An inquiry in
ito the affairs Of the Washington Life
Insurance Co. was begun by the legis-
lative insurance investigating commit
tee when Judge Tatlock, president of
the company, was called to the witness
stand. Mr.. Tatlock was elected in Dec
ember. Ioc4, after an examination OF
the company by the state insurance de-
partnent, which resulted in a reor-
ganizatioa Of the management of the
company. As,, ~ T.. &&s%.
Mr.. Tatlock received salary of $2o,-
600. He detailed a number of reforms
that had been Instituted since this re-
organization among then1--the abolish
/ ing of the cash surrender value in
policies and the elimination OF the loan
feature. He expressed somewhat of "a
different sentiment from the other life
insurance officers, in that his exper-
fence had been that only about five
per cent of loans were ever paid up
and that loan was but a deferred SUR
render of a policy. He viewed life In
surance as such and not as an invest
ment. Va. %.$G1St s..s 81
| According to the witness, 5000 in
advance to agents had been placed up
on the books of the company thus far
this year These, he explained, were

No contributions for political pur-
poses had ever been made by the
Washington Life as far as the witness
had been able to learn, and the only
| thing in the nature Of legislative work
was "a retainer to, w. S.. Walker who
the witness thought, was a Chicago
newspaper man, This retainer was
paid from 1891 until Mr. Tatlock took
the presidency, when it was cut off
Mr.. Walker wrote special stories on in
