ment of Minnesota. Grand Army OF the

yesterday for the thirty-ninth4 annual
encampment. About 500 delegates
were' present. Gov: J.. A. Johnson.
welcomed the delegates on behalf OF
the state, and Mayor r. A. Smith
spoke in behalf of the city. The gov
ernor paid a tribute to the veterans
and their work. and said they are
teaching an inspiring lesson in patri-
otism. He said it was not for him to
welcome them to the capital, for they
have a greater claim on the state
than he, but he would like to see them
at the capitol and would do anything
he could to aid them in their work.
Former Lieut.. Gov. G. S. Ives respond.
ed to the welcome on behalf of the
veterans. Commander Harrison
Whites annual report showed that
the department has 10 posts and
5,632 members in good standing. The
net loss during the year was 166, but
the loss by death was 179, so that the
gain exceeds the loss from all causes
other than death by IS. The total
number of suspensions was 244. but
many of these have been reinstated.

STIPULATED THAT PRESENT &C.
TON DOES NOT CONSTITUTE
PRECEDENT.
TREATY'S FATE is in DOUBT
THOUGHT THAT REPUBLICANS
WILL VOTE FOR TREATY AS
AMENDED.

washington, March l0.-Ihe SantO
Domingo treaty will be reported to
the senate to-day. The foreign rela-
tons committee yesterday completed
its consideration and a reprint of the
treaty was ordered.
The treaty has been amended be.
yond recognition. New matter has
been added, explaining that the Uni
ted States does not undertake the
supervision Of affairs in Santo Do
mingo because of any obligation i'm
posed by the Monroe doctrine, but
merely because the republic is weak
and helpless and has applied to this
government for assistance. 1t is ex-
pressly stipulated thai this action
does not constitute a precedent which
| will involve similar action toward all
the South and Central American re-
publics.
All reference by intimation to the
| Monroe doctrine has been carefully
eliminated. AS remodeled the treaty
is applicable only to Santo DOMINGO
| and does not form a parallel for future
cases.
Plea for Assistance.
The special message of the presi-
| dent, sent to the senate Monday, was
made public yesterday. The delay in
| giving out this communication has
been irritating to the president. He
announced that it would be done at
the White House, but rescinded the
announcement. The senate then de-
| ferred action because it would please
| the president to have publicity at
once.
The message isl plea for assistance
because Santo Domingo has requested
it and is in sore distress. =
The senate committee on foreign re-
| lations progressed so far yesterday
that it was agreed to take a vote on
the treaty at 1880 to-day to deter
mine whether the report will be in
favor of ratification Or rejection. What
that report viii be cannot be deter
Il1icu pOSItlNtiN, tEOuSH IL - Thought
it will be favorable. The Democrats
have expressed themselves against
the treaty fundamentally, although
they
Took an Active Part
in the preparation and presentation OF
amendments. 1t is thought the Repub-
licans will vote for the treaty as
amended.
All the amendments adopted by the
committee are with the general aim
to make the subject as covered stand
alone and removing all chances of its
being used as a precedent for like
procedure in other countries under
the guise of being required by the
Monroe doctrine. For instance, one
of the. first amendments strikes out
that portion of the section of, the pre-.
amble which is construed as a defini,
ton and application of the Monroe
doctrine to the Santo Domingo case.
Another important amendment was
as follows: That part Of the preamble
which declares hat the Dominican
government is in imminent peril and
in danger of intervention on the part
of nations whose citizens have claims
is stricken out and the preamble is
left to read that the proceeding is or
the ground of debts which burden thu
renublic.
