The .B.e Stick"

The Admin istration is protecting
the de facto gov, rnment Of Santo
Domingo from revolution'sts by send
ing a warship to every port in the
black republic where there is custom
house and an American collector IN
stallrd. The activity Of the revolu-
tionists is urged on.by the fact that
there is sl:3O0, 600 on deposit il New
York, being the share OF the customs
collections to apply to the payment OF
the debts of Santo Domingo. The re-
fusal of the Senate to raUify the treaty
which President Roosevelt made with
Santo Domino, to carry out the "big
stick policy, would allow the with
drawal of the money by the lslano
government. By the failure OF the
treaty to be ratified, it is equally not
binding on either country and II the
SaLto Domingo government wished to
change the policy Of debt paying the
United States cannot prevent IL.
| With that large sum virtually hung
up as purse for the winners, it is no
wonder that every revolutionary gen.
eral is rallying his forces to seize the
government and divide tie plunder.
The Administration has a nodus
yivendi with the de faeto government
to carry out the principal object OF the,
treaty, which is to use, part OF the
money collected from customs duties
for the payment of the debts OF the
island republic, but if the present
government is overthrown, the sue
cessful reyolutionists could ignore the
arrangement and demand the prize.
So the people Of the United States are
paying for warships to be used as po-
jiceman to protect Santo Domingo
against her own people and 20 help
foreign governments collect their.
debts from those unruly debtors. The
"big stick" policy has its embacrass-
ments, its moments OF victory and de-
feats, and this Santo Domingo exper-
iment is but he Opera Bouffe of it,,
which may be followed by much more
serious results when Venezuela and
some of the other republics are tack
led by their foreign creditors and
President Roosevelt undertakes to
settle the matter. So far his interfer-
ence has had but little good effect
and the statesmen Of his party do not
seem to endorse this new idea of the
object of the Monroe Doctrine.

THINKS TILLMAM. CUTE
Fair Visitor in Senate Gallery Thus
Expresses Eer Opinion.

An obserVant person In the senate
gallery yesterday noted an occurrence
which, while without bearing upon
the matters OF state which were un

Is interesting for several reasons, one
OF which Is the fact that Senator
Tillman unconsciously figured In the
episode.
Three beautiful young ladies enter.

near the above mentioned person.
Two Of them; judged by their con-
Versstion were frequent visitors to
the galleries while tne third was ap-
parently a visitor to Washington.
She asked first Of all that Senator
Tillman be pointed out to her, and
an expression Of disappointment came
into her face when she vas told that
he was not In the chamber. Several

InmsGiately the other two locked
snd saw the South Casohnian In q
characteristic rosa, with his thumb
in his vest, hair magnifcsntly tous

at the presiding Officer.
There was a moment OF silent con-
temptation on the part Of the young
lady who had never before seen the
senator; then, in tone which evil
deaced a desire to contradict what
had become a fixed impression with a
oit OF emphasis on the Il" which is
beyond the printers art, sic said:

Salt Is as essential for poultry as for

way is to use it to season the food
