OWNERS OF SHIPS

Until Privileged Glasses Are
Waited Upon.
FORECAST OF CONGRESS
QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT
ALREADY DISCUSSED.

the status of affairs since the flight OF

morrow, then on some other day dur
ing the week. With the subject once
opened up considerable debate may be
expected, for the Republican senator's
are prepared to defend the attitude or
the president in the Dominican matter.
Will Fight For Treaty.
tt is not expected that the treaty with
Morales viii be presented for some
time, but Republican senators say they
have no intention of letting it GO by

in the senate cite the course Of events
in the present revolution, when the
financial affairs Of the country are less
disturbed than in previous uprisings, as
