SENATE MAY ACT
ON ISLE OF PINES
Treaty with Cuba Stands a Chance
Of Being Ratified
Soon.
BY W. W.. Jermane.

Washington, March 8.-There is a
prospect that the Isle of Pines treaty,
which gives Cuba jurisdiction over that
island, will be acted upo nduring the ex-
ira session of the senate. If it is rati-
fed it will be because President Roose-
welt has insisted upon it as matter Of
good faith to the sister republic. Few
senators care anything about the treaty
now, altho at one time there was Wig
orous opposition to it on the part Of
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who
took his cue from some Pittsburg PEG.
pie, who have invested their money in
the island.
An investigation made today shows
that Senator Cullom, chairman Of the
foreign relations committee, and Sena
tor Lodge, close friend Of the presi
dent, appear to be unwilling to have the
treaty brought up in the senate, because
it is likely to provoke discussion.
During the latter part Of tho session
just closed, Senator Clay of Georgia in
Produced q resolution providing for ar
inquiry into the subject, and it is pos
sible he may endeavor to prevent ratif
cation, but it is unlikely. he will be very
vigorous in his opposition. So that
there is just chance that the treaty
will be ratified before the senate ad

It Is q foregone conclusion that the
house will pass the revised code reach
ing q final vote by the last of the week.
The senate is more conservative.
Predictions are freely made that the
code will not pass the upper house.
Nearly third Of the senator's are
lawyers and members Of the judiciary
committee. They have been working on
the code as long as the house committee
and have agreed on many amendments
but they are far from satisfied with the
shape the code is in.
There is feeling among the senators
that the house is yielding to political
expediency and to q demand that the
Legislature "do something's and so is

senators all feel about the same way
The feeling is growing that the rea]
test will come in the senate. On this
account some Of the house members
who want to get to other legislation

DOMINICAN NEEDS
Declares Treaty with Island Re.
public Would Safeguard
United States. @

Washington, March S.-The senate
in executive session today made public
the second message of President Roose-
welt on the Santo Domingo treaty. It
says that the Dominican interests de-
mandaction by the senate at the eari-
est practicable moment; that the
treaty is at the earnest request Of the
Dominican republic to afford her re-
lief and will remove apprehension Of
foreign aggression in that quarter.
It says that the result will benefit not
only Santo Domingo, but also the
United States, by securing peace and
prosperity in the island. The message
says the treaty offers the only method
Of preventing collection Of fraudulent
claims and Of protecting just claims Of
foreigners and Americans alike, and
urges Santo Domingo 8 need Of aid from
a powerful and friendly nation.
So many amendments were offered to
the DOMINICAN treaty in the committee
on foreign relations that it will hardly
be recognized when presented to the
senate. Whole sentences have been re:
versed and new articles added, and all
the amendments are subject to material
revision. It was predicted that when
the treaty comes before the senate the
work of the committee practically
would have to be done all over again

RENNENKAMPF CUT OFF
Kuroki Drives Wedge Between Russian
Extreme Left and Linevitch.

St. Petersburg, March General
Kuroki is making progress and had
already approached point fourteen
miles south of Fu-shun yesterday. This
shows that Lieutenant General Line
witch, commander of the first Manchu-
rian army, is again giving way. The
position Of the Russian left, therefore,
is critical.
Compelled by the failure Of Generals
Oku and Nogi to crush the Rpssian
right yesterday, Field Marshal Oyama
again transferred the weight Of attack
to his right.
General Kuroki succeeded in driving
in wedge between General Lineyitch q
main army and General Rennenkampf, 3

grave danger Of being cut off or sur

The Probable Loss.

The building as a whole could not
be erected for less than $4,000. 1t
is more than half destroyed, at the
most conservative estimate. With
the other losses from fire, water and
breakage, it is hardly likely that the
damage will fall under 500, 900.
On this is only SIS, 900 insurance on
the building. THERE'S enough on the
contents to fully cover that part of
the loss, though the exact amount is
not now known.
The building had evidently been on
fire all of the morning, the fire slow
ly working its way under the roof.
The young ladies who roomed in the
college had detected the odor of
smoke early in the morning and it
was SO mol eeable after the classes
were assembled that it was comment
ed on. The fire was finally discover
ed by George Bihns, a male student,

VERDICT FOR $1,000.
Victim of Dawson Disaster
Given Judgment.

The jury gave a judgment of
$1,000 to the plaintiff in the suit of
Miss Annie Nichols against the |. C.
railroad. The case was tried at
Paducah this week. Miss Nichols
was one of the party of picnicers
caught on the long trestle near Daw-
son three years ago by a freight
train, when two were killed and
others injured. Miss Nichols had
her foot so badly mangled that it
had to be amputated. She sued for
$4,000. Engineer Bean was in
charge of the engine at the time of
the accident and was made co-defen-
dant to the suit. The jury returned
a verdict against the road and the
engineer.

MAIN BUDDING WAS DESTROYED.
Wings In the Rear Saved By Good Work of Fire
Department Most of the Household Effects
Were Saved From the Furious Flames.
LOSS is ESTIMATED AT $4,000.

At II o'clock Thursday morning
the main building of the South Ken
lucky College was discovered to be
on fire in the garnet, under the metal
roof, and in spite Of the best efforts
of the fire department, the two upper
stories Of the three-story part of the
building were destroyed. The college
is.upon such a high hill that the wat
er pressure was inadequate and even
when the Water Company put on all
possible pressure, the water could not
be thrown upon the fire until the
firenen bravely mounted the roofs
of the two-story wings and fought it
from above with two feeble streams.
Their excellent work under these dis
advantages was partly successful and
both wings were saved and the lower
floors of the front building were not
burned. The brick walls remained
standing, but it is very doubtful if
