1t is drawn on the lines of the origi-
nal protocol so far as concerns the ad-
ministration of the customs by Off
Gals designated by the United States

NEW PROTOCOL WITH REPUBLIC
OF SANTO DOMINGO Is SIGNED

An important feature OF the protocol
is the omission of the provision in the
original memorandum of Jan. 81, guar
enteeing the integrity of San Domingo.
The new document simply binds the
United States to respect the integrity
&C Dominican territory. The Monroe
doctrine is regarded as sufficient to
convey the broader guarantee. It is
also provided that the new protocol
must, before becoming effective, be ap-
proved not only by the United States
senate, but by the Dominica congress
and this proviso makes it impossible to
define the precise date upon the agree
ment will begin 10 operate. AS the pro-
tocoi is regarded as executive business
the state department does not feel at
liberty TO make public the text pend
ing its disposal by the senate.

PIatt's Past Set Forth.

Mir. Post charges that in his capacity
of president of the United States Express
company Senator Platt is participating in
the conspiracy charged, and, proceeding.
says:
HE is daily engaged in performing
overt acts in pursuance thereof, and that
in the senate he has used and is contin-
uing 20 use his influence as a senator TO
oppose the passage of the bills referred
to- or any of them, on the ground that
il passed they would affect iniJriOuSly
the business of said express companies
and reduce the amount which said com
panies by reason of said combination and
people of the United States over and
above just compensation for the services
which they render"
He therefore asks the senate to lnstl-
tute examination into the case, ana
that if the charges are proven the SEN
ator be expelled. Explaining his reason
for proceeding against the senator, he
says:
The Only Remedy.
The petitioner and the public are with
out an adequate remedy elsewhere against
the said Thomas PIatt because of the
provisions of section Of article of the
constitution OF the United States. which
kos the senate tho sole judge of the
qualifications or it's members and gives
to the senate only the power to deprive
senator of his seat.
In support of his statement Mr.. Post
filed an affidavit by Clarence r. Dawson
TO the effect that Senator Plat had tOlo
bills because the plan, il adopted. woulo
interfere with his business. and he would
Use his position as a senator to defeat
them.

FRAUD I'M FURs.
From Field and Stream.

AS people we are very fond of fraud We
don't much care for law, and we love TO be
fooled. In no line of commerce are we more
regularly fooled and defrauded than in the re-
tail fur trade. The eTmine which my lady buys
for the collar of her opera coat cost her some
dollars skin She may pay 81 for the black
trapper who caught the weasel from which came
perhaps D; perhaps nothing That is not so bad
and no one could object TO a commercial trans
action of that kind great many persons
know that eTnine is weasel. How many know
that Eluskrat pulled and dyed is often sold as
seal; that nutria similarly treated is sold seal
or beaver; that rabbit treated IS sold as seal
or electric seal; that pulled and dyed otter is
regularly sold as seal; that marmot dyed is sold
as mink and sable that fitch dyed is sold as
sable, and rabbit also sold sable; that hare
and uluslSrat sold mink sable, ard
white rabbit as eTmine chinchilla or FOX
that goat is dyed and sold bear; that many
kinds of lamb sold Persian: that skunk Is
called Alaska sable; that American sable Is sold
as Russian crown sable: that monkey and lynx
and dog and fox and polecat and muskrat and
cat and all sorts Of different furs, sold under
all sorts or high sounding names; that white
hairs are regularly inserted in fox skins and
sometimes in sable skins? Surely not all of our
readers were advised to these details There
IS a vigilance committee appointed by the Lon
don Chamber OF Commerce whose duty is TO
spread Information against these trade frauds.
We presume we need nothing OF that sort In
Ausrica--fnr hare We don't mind being fooled.
