Dominican Agreement To BE Sub

Washington, Jan. 25.-It can be stated by au-

the administration before taking any action

cluded with Santo Domingo to submit the agree
ment to the United States Senate for its ap-

lie VIII come by way OF Cuba, bringing with him
the text OF the agreement. Thus far the State
Department has had only telegraphic abstract
from Mr. Dawson OF this document. 1t is OBJ
viously impossible. therefore for the Dominican
agreement 10 come before the Senate through
the action of the administration for at least a
week The only reason why any statement was
made by the department relative to its scope
was based apprehension that the agree
ment itself would be misunderstood by the pub
lie, which il was feared would not clearly under
stand the causes which lee up to il and the
limitations embodied in the document upon the
relations between the United States and Santo
Domingo

the United States to adhere to, support and
nrrnly maintain its right of participation in

La TOILETTE NOT SURE.
WiU Not accept Senatorship If Has
Pet Measures Fail.

Madison, Wis, Jan. Ex-Governor La Toilette
was to-day formally elected United States Sen
ator to succeed Joseph V. Quarles. The Gov
ernor received 101 votes out of 133 The Demo
cratic contingent gave its complimentary vote
TO Martin L. Lueck and the Social Democrats
voed for Victor L. Berger.
In q carefully worded address the Governor
acknowledged the honor and signifed his ao-
ceptance as a response to the call of duty, but
said that unless the legislature enacted the rail-
road measures for which many contests have
been fought he would tender back to them the
nomination, and they would have to choose
some other man.
Governor La Toilette spoke IN part as follows;
fully realize that If you had not believed that
I could better the peoples interests as
United States Senator than as Governor you
would not have taken this action to-day. But
recognizing, as I must, the present obligations
which rest upon me- am compelled to be IN
readiness to meet any unforeseen issue which
may develop. For this reason say in accept
ing your high commission that If there should
appear any conflicting obligation which should
be impossible for to meet as United States
Senator although elected to that position shall
ask you to recede the honor from me and place
it upon another man Of your own choice.

SHAW URGES REBATE.
Sends Letter to Congress Asking
Return of Duty ON Seed Wheat.

Washington. Jan 25.-Secretary Shaw has sent
the following letter 10 both houses OF Congress.
recommending the refund OF the duties paid i'm
ported wheat when used for seed:
This department is IN receipt OF a large num-
Der OF letters indicating that scarcity of Euitaba
wheat for seeding purposes exists in several of
the Northwestern States.
BY act approved January 15 1903. the Secretary OF
the Treasury directed 70 refund the duty paid
on coal for the period Of year. This had the
effect of temporarily removing the duty coal. I
recommend a similar law authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to refund the duty paid on wheat
actually used for seed. under rules and regulations
prescribed by him think it would be impractical
bic to allow wheat intended for seed TO be entered
free of duty. Such provision would open the door
TO fraud, but a refund of duty wheat actually
used for seed under appropriate regulations seems
TO me to be feasible and affording satisfactory
remedy.
In view Of the desrablty of getting seed wheat
at distance from the place where it is to be
I see reason why this provision should be linn
ted as time

SENATE EXPECTS TREATY.
Bacon Resolution on Santo Domingo
Regarded as Premature.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU


Washington, Jan. 25.-Senate leaders expect
that in proper time the President will send TO
the Senate a treaty embodying the provisions Of
the agreement with Santo Domingo and in view
OF such expectation regard as premature Sen
ator Bacon's resolution inquiring Of the Presi-
dent II any agreement has been made with that
republic. The Committee on Foreign Relations
spent its entire session to-day discussing the
Bacon resolution. and it was the opinion OF Re-
publican members that although no action was
taken Mr.. Bacon had been brought to see the
improperly Of even appearing to try TO force
the Presidents hand at this time.
It was pointed out TO Mr.. Bocon that it would
have been impossible for the President to send
70 the Senate treaty at this early date, rs
the explicit terms OF the agreement have not
yet reached Washington. although they are on
the way. The by the State Department OF
the expression. Memorandum for a proposed
agreement also emphasized as arguing
the intention OF the State Department to put
such terms in the form of agreement. or
treaty, for ratification by the Senate
With the expectation of treaty with Santo Do
ningo coming to the Senate, the leaders are al
ready discussing the prospect OF its ratification.
They have no doubt that such convention
would eventually be approved, but there
some indication that Senator German may
repeat the blunder he made in regard TO the
Panama treaty and attempt TO unite the DEM
ocratio forces against ratification. Such pol
icy would. in the estimation of the Republicans
prove disastrous TO the leadership Of the Senator
from Maryland, his opposition TO the Pan
anna treaty having seriously undermined
his influence with his Democratic COL
leagues. 1t IS declared that. were 1t not for the
brevity Of the present session and the crowded
condition OF the Senate calendar, Democratic
opposition to a Santo Dominican treaty would
prove OF little moment Confidence in the good
judgment Of the American people leads to the
belief that they, regardless Of party affiliation
will uphold the policy OF the administration in
vigorously enforcing the Monroe Doctrine and
In maintaining American supremacy on this
continent so that. even II the Democrats at
tempt 10 oppose the ratification. their antag-
on4sm must eventually fade away as ignonin-
iously as IL did when they opposed the Panama
Canal
1t is regarded possible that the State De-
partment may be unable to complete the nego-
uation OF a treaty for presentation to the SEN
ste at this session. and the suggestion has been
made that the Senate might be called upon TO
ratify such convention at fits special session
called primarily 10 confirm Cabinet and other
nominations. Immediately after March T. Time
Limitations would not then afford the minority
an undue advantage, and any opposition which
might develop would doubtless soon yield 20 the
tedium OF protracted executive sessions.
