that the United States would take
possession OF all San DOMINICAN
ports without consulting Congress
The President did not confirm or
deny this statement for the reason,
perhaps, that he did not discuss the
subject at all, and as soon as Seore
tary Hay had recovered sufficiently
to resume his duties he announced
that it had always been the intention
of the Administration TO negotiate a
treaty and submit it to the Senate.
Numerous changes were cabled TO
San DOMINICAN which were incorpor-
ated in treaty which has now
reached Washington and been sub
mitted to the Senate. 1t is too early
TO make predictions regarding the
Senate's action on this treaty, as il
has not been read TO that body,
having been referred Immediately to
the committee on Foreign Relations.
In general way, however, it may
be said that Republicans seem to
approve the principle they under
stand to be involved in the treaty
and that Democrats are inclined to
regard il as Of doubtful propriety.
Speaker Cannon has, he believes,
caught the Senate in an error and
has determined to take advantage Of
the accident TO humiliaie the Upper
House, if possible. The Senate a
mended the Agricultural appropria-
ton bill by adding clause declar-
ing the drawback provision of the
Dingley Act shall not be construed
to apply to -four made Of imported
wheat. This, the House declares
to be revenue legislation which,
under the constitution, must origi-
nate in the Lower House. OF
course it would have been easy to
reject the amendment in conference
but that would not have humillated
the Senate, therefore the House will
adopt a resolution informing the
Senate that it refuses 10 consider
the Agricultural bill until the Upper
House has Withdrawn the tariff a.
mendment. 1t is probable that the
Minneapolis millers, whose privi-
leges were curtailed for the benefit
of the farmers by the amendment,
had something to do with the
Speakers vindlcativeness, although
he always has enough and to spare
where the Senate is concerned.
Under ordinary circumstances the
action Of the House would be regard
ed as Of little importance and as
pusillanimous rather than otherwise,
but with "wars and rumors Of war"
between the Senate and the Execu-
tive, with relations strained between
the Senate and the House and with
every member Of Congress carrying
a chip on his shoulder, it merely
serves to accentuate the sensitive
ness and strain the relations Of
everyone concerned IN the national
government.

Four bodies have been recovered. The

VICTORY FOR OGG.
Wins = Point in Famous OIathe EIec-
tic.s Case.

Without leaving the bench, the JUS
tees of the supreme court this morning
sustained the objection to the filing of
Glover's supplemental answer in the
Olathe election case. This is a decided
victory for F. R. Ogg and~his ticket in
their fight to get possession of the city
offices.
Mr.. Glover and his faction claimed
that the attorneys for Ogg came to
Topeka and We're allowed by the clerks
of the supreme court to inspect and
handle the original ballots in dispute,
which were fled unsealed by the spec
ial master who took the testimony.
GIover's attorneys asserted that the
suspicion was thus raised that the bal
lots had been tempered with, and they
asked to file their supplemental petition
making this an issue in the case.
The justice of the court. after hearing
extended arguments on both sides this
morning. decided that the points raised
in the supplemental answer were not
properly a part of the pleadings; that
it is now too late to inject this affair
into the case, and that if anything is to
be done to the attorneys for Ogg for
looking at the ballots. it viii have to be
done inca separate proceeding.
The case will now come up for hearing
on the evidence as contained in the
report of Judge Smart. tn especial mas
ter Indications are that Ogg will win
the fight, though even if all the 127 ball
lots which were rejected because of a
cross in the circle above Ogg's name.
are counted by the supreme court. it
will give Ogg only 1 majority. Ogg
claims. however, that many OF the ball
lots counted for Glover viii be found to
be irregular.

SHE FOUND THE RING.
Anna Eva Fay Makes One Heart
Glad.

Wednesday night young lady liv-
ing near Washburn college asked Miss
Anna Eva Fay to locate a pearl ring
that had either been stolen or lost in
the spring. The inquirer explained
that the ring had mysteriously dis
appeared and trusted servant had
been discharged as result.
Miss Fay told the lady to begin a
diligent search near water spigot on
the front lawn. where would surely
be found the ring after which an
apology should be given the suspected
servant. Now if you want to accuse
anyone, take whip to your little
black and tan, because I think he had
hand in losing your ring"
Following these directions the lady
found the ring hidden just beneath
the surface near the spigot, and as
she said afterwards, there can be no
doubt but that Pert (the dog) car
ried the. ring into the yard
Miss Fay will give a ladies' matinee
at the Crawford tomorrow afternoon
and her present engagement at this
theater will be brought to a close that
night.
