The New Santo DOMINICAN Crisis.

The unexpected is always to be
expected in these funny little repub-
lies which destiny-pardon the word
has imposed upon our care and
good nature to a certain extent. And
it has happened in Santo Domingo.

ever, that the new outbreak of trouble
in the little island republic" is a
modern demonstration of the efficacy
OF prayer. If ever a revolution came
Just when it was wanted-by some
people-this ole has. It is just what
the anti-Admiaistration element in
the Senate needed in its business
A good many people think this
Santo Domingsn business is too de.
and complicated readily to be under
stood. 1t isn't. The case is very
simple. The President had treaty
negotiated which looked to Ameri-
can administration of DOMINICAN
customs; part to be turned into a
fund for the payment of the island'f
preposterous debt, the rest to go to
the island government. This treaty
met the disapproval of powerful
/ forces in the Senate and was not
approved. Pending final action of il
the arrangement, in substance, was
put into effect and is now in effect.
The President has his heart set on
its approval.
The strong argument for the treaty
has been that it would compose con-
ditions in the island. assure tran
quillity, place the government on a
safer basis, and assure against con-
slant revolutions and danger OF
foreign Intervention. 1t was produc-
ing all these effects, and daily af-
fording argument in favor of it's

protection and. preservation, has been
forcing itself upon the attention Of the
American people for many years. The
principal purpose Of setting apart forest
reserves has been to save the head
waters Of the stream SO that they might
better serve the purpose of irrigation in
the arid regions of the west. The peo-
pie have also recognized the necessity
of better protection to the timber sup
preservation of these forests comes the
opportunity to use them as shelters for
portions Of the fast disappearing wild
animal and bird life of the west. The
present bill does not propose to turn all
these reserves into game reserves, but
leaves it discretionary with the presi-
dent to select such portions of them
as would be best adapted to their use.
A bill similar in character to the one
now reported was favorably reported
and passed the senate in the closing
days Of the last congress. For want of
time it was not considered in the
! house. Public sentiment greatly
favors the attempt to preserve the wild
animals, birds, and fish from threat
ened extinction, and there is no way SC
effective as to supply safe breeding
places for the few remaining survivors

BATTLE FOR HIS LIFE
IN A MONKEY GAGE
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Ithaca, N. ": Feb. "a fight for
his life in a monkey cage was the ex-
perience of Edward Stillwell, keeper
in the Cornell university museum, late
yesterday afternoon. Stillwell went
into the monkey cage to feed the AMI
mails. While his back was turned he
was attacked by a big baboon.
The animal tore the skin from Still
wells head and face and held him fast
with his arms pinned to his side, so that
he could not escape from the cage.
Stillwell fought the monkey for five
minutes, his cries for help being un.
heard. Tho greatly weakened from the
loss of blood, Stillwell at last got a
firm grasp Of the monkeys neck and
forced it's head into a bucket of water
that was in the cage. He succeeded in
holding the animal 8 head under water
until it was drowned.

FELLOWS one PARK
IMPROVEMENT SURE
Congress Will Probably Appropri-
ate More Money Favorable
to Forest Preservation.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 3.-In 1902 con-
gress appropriated $750,OO0 for certain
improvements in yellowstone park, and
this winter the war department has
asked for supplemental appropriation
of $S3 900, because Of radical in
crease in the cost of materials since
the original estimates were made and
the unexpectedly heavy character of
certain portions Of the work, notably
road, near Sylvan pass. Ultimately
this beautiful park will be we'll pro-
vided with good roads, bridges, ETC.,
and the appropriation Just asked for is
one which the general public will
heartily indorse. The general plan of
the government for Yellowstone park
is that it shall be made as comfort
able and convenient as possible for the
public without in any way interfering
to be preserved. But roadhouses, am
pie highways and bridges and other
modern conveniences are to be added
wherever necessary.
Forests to Be Protected.
Congress seems disposed to do what
it can for the protection of the for
ests. A bill has already passed the
house transferring the jurisdiction Of
the forest reserves from the interior
department to the department of agri-
culture. It came up in the senate re-
Gently on a favorable report from com
mittee, and will undoubtedly pass at
this session.
The senate has made an amendment
to the original bill which strengthens it.
This amendment protects the mining
| interests, if any, within the reserves.
1t is now believed by all who are inter
| ested in forests that the department
of agriculture is the department which
| should have full control over them. The
| secretary Of the interior, it is under
stood, does not object to this proposed
! legislation. -,
