SENATE DEFEATS
DOMINGO TREATY
RATIFICATION ADMITTED TO
BE IMPOSSIBLE
President Roosevelt Considers Action
OF Upper House to BE Virtual
Reputation Of Monroe
Doctrine
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, March Att is now
conceded privately by the Republican
senators in charge of the Santo Do
mingo treaty that the treaty is beaten.
They abandoned today the plan agreed
upon yesterday to have an early morn
ing session, and now await merely
formal vote which will be strictly OH
party lines.
1t is even limited that the treaty may
be Withdrawn. Senator German quiet
ly informed his Republican friends this
afternoon thta the three Democratic
senator's who had been counted upon
to vote for the treaty-Clark of Ar
kansas and Foster and McEnery of
Louisiana-had been taken back into
the Democratic camp. Thus there is
presented a solid Democratic front of
thirty votes.
President Roosevelt recognizes this
condition, and to some of his callers
he admitted that the outlook for rati-
.fication was hopeless. He said he also
considered this outcome as repud1a-
ton of the principles of the Monroe
doctrine, for which the senate, he held,
must take the responsibility.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 14.-James Ha-
zen Hyde surrendered control of the
great Equitable Life Assurance society
and, it is said, $494,OO0,OOO of funds to
the policy holders of the company to-

At a meeting of the naturalization
committee of the society," Hyde con-
sented to the adoption of plan by
which the policy holders will elect
twenty-eight of fifty-two directors, the
stockholders electing the remaining
twenty-four.
This will give the policy holders a
majority in the board, and carries to
a successful ending the bitter fight
waged by President James w. Alex
ander for the naturalization plan and
the placing of the management of the
society and the control of its Millions
in the hands of policy holders.

KILLED IN MESH
Of LIVE WIRES
lINEMAN MEETS HORRIBLE
FATE ON POLE
Eugene 3. Estes, in the Employ OF
Home Telephone Company, Vic
tim of Accident at Tenth
and Figueroa

Lashed in the meshes of hundred
wires within plain view of more than
thousand people, Eugene B. Estes.
lineman in the employ of the Home
Telephone company, received a high
voltage of electricity while at work on
pole near the corner of Tenth street
and Figueroa yesterday afternoon, and
was instantly killed.
The body of the man remained lashed
to the pole for nearly an hour before
the current was turned off.
Estes was employed by the Home
company as plug hunter" or "trou-
BILE finder" His services required ex-
pert work, and he was one of the most
trusted and reliable men in the COM
pany's employ.
Yesterday report was received from
residents of the Figueroa street dis
trict, complaining of the service over
the telephone. Estes, with a number
trict to locate the damage supposed to
have been caused by the storm. He
climbed pole and tested several wires
before going to a second pole directly
in front of the cottage at S12 West
Tenth street.
In Network of Wires
AS Estes reached the top of the pole,
about sixty feet from the ground, he
climbed over the cross trees and into
network of wires. With his feet
braced on a lower cross tree and his
body partly reclining over a beam
above, he made connections on the wire
and arranged his pocket telephone. The
man at the other end took down the
receiver to listen for the message that
never came.
A squirt of flame from the unfortu-
nate lineman's arm. just above the re-
ceiver, Mortified the passers-by, and
the body sank face downward over
the cross tree held in place by the
beams around it.
AS quickly as possible messages We're
sent to the Home Sunset and Edison
companies. Crews of emergency men
were hurried to the scene, but none
dared ascend the fatal pole after the
body of the man had cracked and
aputtered under the fearful voltage.
After the current had been shut off,
and after Estes body had been on
the pole for nearly an hour three men
from the Edison company ascended the
pole. They tested every portion of the
mans body and all the wires and
beams surrounding him before releas-
ing it.

OYAMA SLOW IN HIS PURSUIT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
TIE PASS, March 14.-As after the
battle of Lao Yang the advance of the
Japanese army against the new posi-
tions of the Russians at Tie pass is
very slow. The leading columns are
eight or ten miles southwark and n
touch with the Russian van, but the
operations at present are not serious.
Field Marshal Oyama shows slight in
tention of following up his advantage.
A wide turning movement may occur.
In such operations the Japanese have
the immense advantage of several
bases of supplies to which is now add
ed the Sinmintin road, while the Rus
sian army necessarily is dependent on
Its base and one line of communication.
Order has been brought out of chaos
with remarkable celebrity. The plain in
front of Tie pass. which on March II
seethed like a nest of ants with
dense and confused mass of artillery
and troops, is now occupied by soldiers,
singing about the camp fires with new
courage, ready to stubbornly defend
Tie pass.
1t is unfair to accuse the entire army
of the panic so loudly heralded Gen
eral Linevitch entered the Tie Pass
with his regiments in perfect order,
with music playing and the men sing
ing. Scarcely a straggler was lost in
the long, difficult march. There is much
to be said also for the panic-stricken
condition of the other troops. They
were largely composed of undsciplined
men, and wagon drivers were mingled
with the soldiers, who for fifteen days
had been under constant fire. These
were all crowded together in mass
whence egress was impossible.
Russian Morale Revived
1t is one of the odd facts of the war;
fare that the morale of the beaten Rus
While the Japanese, though the
rictors apparantly axe so broken and
have incurred such heavy losses that
they are unable to press the advantage.
otherwise it is ineXpicable why the
Japanese have not followed up their
vigorous pursuit with an attack on the
Tie Pass when they might have taken
the position almost without struggle.
1t is now too late for an easy success.
The struggle for the possession of
Mukden cost both sides close upon
100000 men. The Russian loss of Off
GERS included large proportion of the
regimental commanders and field
officers.
