More Dirty Work.

Sunday evening at about o'clock
the fire alarm brought out the de-
partment only to find that some hum
orously inclined ''stiff" had pulled
box %. The department returned to
headquarters and few hours after
wards were again routed out by
anothee false alarm from box 80.
One of these boxes is located on the
Jos. Smuk corner and the other
at the Opera House corner. These
are the same boxes pulled the evening
of the Cole. Bede and Clapp meeting.
This may be very excellent sport
but it is doubtful if the parties res
ponsible for the same will find it SO
extremely funny If caught. 1t GER
tainly is dirty work. AS the fire boys
are not allowed anything for false
alarms, the clothes they spoil are not
even paid for by answering these calls.
Those wise ones about town who have
circulated the rumor that the depart
m3nt turned in the alarm in order to
get the money will please desist or
there may be trouble. Some people
have been most artlstically whipped
for talking too much. This thing
must be stopped. About two years in
the states pen will be the dose to stop
it and it will do it most effectually.
The culprit will sooner or later be
caught.

the prospects are that not as many
will lie issued. Game wardens and
game are scarce in this neck of the

RATIFICATION
IS DOUBTFUL
Treaty Between United States
and Santo Domingo Re-
ported to Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The treaty
between the United States and the Do
minican republic, under which the for
mer undertakes to collect and disburse
the customs revenues of the latter, was
reported to the senate in executive
session today by Senator Lodge by
authority of the committee on foreign
relations. The committee reached its
agreement today, all of the Republicans,
voting for the favorable report and
the Democrats voting against it.
ments to the treaty were made by the
committee. Article seven was entire
ly rewritten and as reported is mate
rally shortened. It reads as follows:
1.-THE United States, while this treaty
is being executed, may take such steps
as it may deem proper to preserve or
der and facilitate the accomplishment
Of the purpose hereof
While the treaty was given a place
on the senate executive calendar by
the report made today, it will not DO
called UP until after the railroad rate
bill has been disposed Of and even then
it may go over for some time. Re-
publican senators are not inclined to
push 1t to vote 50 long as they are
|. uncertain of the necessary tWo=thirda
vote required e ratify IT. The action
Gus has made It very doubtful whether
the treaty can be ratified this session.
In order to keep the convention alive,
in the event ratification failed, it has
been suggested that there might be
made a motion to reconsider the vote.
If made, this would be for the purpose
of permitting the continuance of the
present modus vivendi, under which
c:.es:oms are being collected. Several
other senators have suggested that the
same purpose might be accomplished by
not bringing the treaty to a. vote at all,
so long as the necessary two-thirds
are doubtful. In any event. favorable
action on the treaty is remote.

DECLINES TO SERVE
AS VICE PRESIDENT

HAVANA, Feb. 2S.-Senor Mendoz
Capote. leader Of the moderate party,
former president Of the senate and
vice president elect Of the republic,
announced today his desire to with
draw before the vote of the presiden-

that his reason for withdrawing is
that he considers the office of vice
president to be negative and purely
ornamental, as in the United States,
and it is impossible for him to serve
his country definitely in that office.
