LOOKS LIKE EXTRA SESSION
There Must Be Legislation on the
Rate Question.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Representa-
tive Townsend of Michigan, one OF
the authors of the Townsend
freight rate bill, had a talk with the
president regarding the prospects for
the enactment of the measure into

Mr. Townsend, who has canvassed

TELLS THE STORY
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT RE-
GARDiNG SAN DOMINGO.
PURPOSE Of THE PROTOCOL
A Document That Has Attracted Much
Policy Of the Admins
tration in Relation to the Monroe
Doctrine.

WASHINGTON - President Roose-
velts message, transmitting to the
senate the new Dominican protocol
of an agreement providing for the col
lection and disbursement by the
United States Of the customs revenues
of Santo Domingo for the adjustment
of all the obligations of that govern
ment, was on Thursday made public
by order of the senate in executive
session. The document includes the
new agreement as well as the original
protocol and award of the commission
of arbitration, for the settlement OF
the claims of the San Domingo I'm
provement company under which
agents of the United States are al
ready collecting the revenues at GER
tain of the ports of the Dominican
government.
Few documents that have come to
the senate in relation to any of the
South or Central American or West
India republics have attracted so
much attention. Because of the con-
troversy that has arisen as to the
right of the executive to enter into
treaty arrangement with any foreign
government without advice and con-
sent Of the senate extraordinary in
terest has been aroused. The docu-
ment came to the senate at an hour
past the usual time for most senators
to leave the chamber and therefore it
was brought up soon after the senate
convened Thursday.
The message of the president out
lined the policy of the administration
In relation to the Monroe doctrine,
holding that it demanded this govern
ment to take charge of the customs
of American states when it is mani
fest that they are unable to maintain
their own integrity.
In addition to the presidents dis
cussion of the Monroe doctrine in the
case of San Domingo, the protocol it.
self makes a special declaration of its
application, and in that respect is UNI
usual in treaty making. The declara-
ton occurred in the second para
graph, which recites that the govern
ment of the United States views ANY
attempt on the part of governments
outside of this hemisphere to Cypress
! the destiny of the Dominican republic
as a manifestation of the unfriendly
disposition toward the United States"

AGGREGATION.


NGTON-President Roose-

commissioner of corporations of the
department of commerce and labor
to begin Immediately the oil investi-
cation requested by the house of rep
resentatives in resolution adopted
unanimously.
The investigation, by direction of
the president, will be rigid and com
prehensive.

cupy cannot be indicated at this time.
Representative Campbell of Kan
sas, the author of the resolution
adopted by the house, had confer
ence with President Roosevelt.
Mr. Campbell's idea is that the in
vestigation should concern particular
ly the situation in the Kansas field
but he expressed to the president his
belief that the inquiry, once begun
would extend to the operations of the
Standard Oil company in the Beau
mont field of Texas, and perhaps tc
other fields.

RUSSIAN SUMMARY OF LOSSES
Between 10000 and $4,000 Killed
and 13o,439 Wounded.

ST. PETERSBURG-Th official
returns for the first year of the war,
not including the Port Arthur Stats
tics show that 100, 439 officers and
men passed through the hospitals, 60
ing north, of which number LILO of
ticers were wounded and 1907 were
sick; SO 800 men were wounded and
1851 were sick; 4,007 subsequently
died in hospitals GAIA wounded and
l1,24S sick were invaded; 9,429 re-
turned to Russia and 1,554 are still
in hospitals. Over 1900, therefore,
presumably, returned to the ranks.
These figures do not include the
numbers of those killed on the field
of battle nor probably those slightly
injured, who remained temporarily in
field hospitals.
The showing is considered remark
ably good. The proportion dying in
hospitals is very low, the total loss
to the active army in wounded and
sick being a little over $4,000, of
whom almost half have still a chance
of returning to the ranks. The other
half will be invaded or returned to
Russia. The killed in battle are esti-
mated to have numbered between 49,
600 and $4,000.

Chances of Oklahoma Good.

WASHINGTON Conference among
members of the senate have been in
progress recently looking to an agree
ment to accept the decision of the
house on the statehood bill if that
body should determine upon amend
ing it to admit only Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state, and elm
mate all that part which relates to
New Mexico, The close vote in the
senate to admit Arizona and New
Mexico seems to preclude the pos
sibility of an agreement on these ter
ritories.

WASHINGTON - The presidents
message transmitting to the senate
the New San DOMINICAN protocol was
read at an executive session WeGnes-
day, following the passage of a mass
of unobjected pension bills. Not more
than six or seven senators were pres
ent.
The leading feature of the message
was that in order to maintain the
Monroe doctrine it is necessary for
the United States to see that just
claims, contracted by South and Cen.
trail American republics and those of
the West Indies should be paid and
that therefore it was in the interest
of peace for this government to take
over the control of the revenues in
San Domingo. This subject of the
Monroe doctrine is discussed at some
lions Of the United States TO the re-
publcs of the south
The protocol was not read at the
executive session, but was at once re-
ferred to the committee on foreign re-
lations.
Briefly stated, the protocol or treaty
provides that the United States shall
collect the customs revenues of San
Domingo and turn over to President
Morales government a specified per-
centage necessary to meet the ex-
pense of administration and disburse
the remainder among the foreign
claimants. The United States under
takes to respect the integrity of San
Domingo and the protocol or treaty
must be approved by the United States.

closed and no consultation of members

position to postpone action until the

mated that week or more would be

Senator Clark of Wyoming present
ed joint resolution of the legislature
of Wyoming praying congress to open
the Shoshone Indian reservation. The
resolution recites that the opening of
the Wind River reservation would be
of great benefit not only to Wyoming
but to the entire west.
Senator Warren's bill opening the
Shoshone reservation, is made a part
of the Indian appropriation bill which
is now before the committee on In
dian affairs of the senate. A separate
measure opening this reservation was
defeated in the house by reason of a
preferential right being accorded AS
mus Boysen of Council Bluffs to locate
$40 acres of land in that reservation
in compensation for money expended
in prospecting work.
Senator Warrens bill, which has
been attached to the Indian appropria-
ton bill, eliminates the Boysen claim
and only sets forth the treaty as con-
cluded between the Indians and Major
James Mclaughlin, United States In
dian inspector. There is, however, a
scheme on foot to introduce the Boy
sen claim into the conference commit
tee, which must necessarily result be-
cause the senate committee has agreed
to already report ten pages of new
matter in the appropriation bill, and
the bill is not half completed. Senator
Stewart, chairman of the committee
stated he hoped to report the bill on
Thursday but there are so many
amendments reported by the sub-com
mittee that the report may be con
siderably deferred.
