Altho Leslie has as yet persistently
refused to disclose the hackers Of the

the Armours, Of Chicago, are the ones
concerned. II l..
Having finished his work on this
side of the line, Leslie leaves for Nova
Scotia this afternoon to enlist the
Canadian dealers. .-.-
Leslie says the price Of Holsters will
not be raised by the trust, but in direct
contradiction, the Portland dealers say
it will. One Portland wholesaler said:
"Lobsters are luxury; not ne
cessity. The rich epicure only will be
affected by the prices; the poor maj

The lobster fishermen are the ones
most likely to suffer, if the trust runs
it's own steamers and sets its owl
traps,
! The output Of Holsters will undoubt
edly be increased rather than dimin
ished by the trust, which is expected
to keep the coast stocked with seet
Holsters. The facilities for handling
will be much improved, and, barring
the lobster trade believe they will b.

DOMINICAN TREATY
| IS PUT TO SLEEP
Senate Is Dwindling and Senators
Are Hostile to Ratification
This Season.
ADJOURNMENT LIK y Az
THURSDAY or FRIDAY
Next Fall, Perhaps, the Treaty
Will Be Brought Forth
and Acted Upon.

. Washington, March 15.-Hope has
been abandoned Of ratifying the Santo
Domingo treaty at the present session
of the senate. The treaty is not dead,
but will be laid aside a Few months.
While no definite agreement has been
reached, it is quite probable that the
senate will put the treaty aside with
out taking a vote, thus holding the
convention before the body until some
later time. It is pointed out, however,
that vote might be taken and, if the
reconsider could be entered and adopted
by majority vote. This would hold
the treaty before the senate.
Talk with President.
Senator Cullom and several other
senators talked with the president and
indications are that no definite action
will be taken at present. Senators on
both sides manifest a desire for more
explicit information. The idea which
meets the greatest approval now is to
acquire during the recess all informa-
ton concerning Santo Domingo affairs
| that the senate may desire. When the
senate convcnes next autumn with all
the members present, the treaty will be
considered in the light Of the develop
ments. ~-r
In view of this tacit understanding, il
is probable the senate will adjourn to
morrow or Friday. It is known that
several senators have made arrange
ments to leave Washington the latter
part of this week. Among them is Sen
ator Foraker of Ohio who, accompanied
by Mrs. Foraker and former Senator
| Ouarles Of Wisconsin and Mrs. Quarles
will sail next Saturday for Italy.

New York, March 15.-James Hazen
Hyde has surrendered control Of the

policyholders. of the company: :. -.
At a meeting Of the n, naturalization
sented to the adoption Of q plan by
ty-eight Of the ifty-two directors, the
stockholders electing the remaining
twenty-four. This will give the policy
holders majority Of four in the
board, and carries to a successful ending
the bitter fight waged by President
James W. Alexander for a mutualiza-
tion plan that would actually place the
control Of it's hundreds Of millions
of assets and surplus in the hands Of
the 100000 policy-holders. Mr.. Hyde s
surrender today was most unexpected.
Fought to the Last.
=, Almost up to the hour when the seven
members Of the naturalization commit,
tee got together. it was announced
ander and Hyde sides that there
would be no agreement, as MIR
Hyde would never consent to any
thing which would actually take the
control of the society from his family.
While no formal statement was issued
concerning the reasons which Influenced
Mr.. Hyde to make such a stupendous
change in his personal fortunes as the
actual naturalization Of the Equitable
involves, it was learned that President
Alexander made it known plainly and
bluntly to the other members Of the
committee that the time for pickering
had passed and that defnite action
must be taken one way or the other al
the meeting.
Threat by Alexander.
He followed this up with notice thai
unless the committee agreed to actually
mutualize the society, he would e
ahead in his own way to compel honest
and genuine naturalization.
This was taken to mean that thu

u pealed to on lines that would make
trouble for Mr.. Hyde and his follow
