RAILROAD RATE QUESTION
Senator Foraker Delivers a Carefully
Prepared Argument Against Any
General Legislation.

Washington, February 2S.-For three
hours lacking a few minutes today,
Mr.. Foraker held the attention Of the
senate while he read carefully pre-
pared speech on the railroad rate ques-
ton. His speech was a protest against
any general legislation, on the theory
that the existing Elkins law could be
so extended as to make it answer all
the requirements. He did not fail,
however, to point out what he con-
sidered the defects of the Hepburn
Dolliver bill and he made the declara-
ton more than once that it would fail
to remedy the evils complained OF.
The speech was listened to by a large
attendance, both on the floor of the
senate and in the galleries. and at it's
close the senator was warmly congrat-
ulated by number of his colleagues
Mr.. Foraker's speech was followed
by further discussion of the railroad
land grant in the Indian Territory,
with the result that Mr. Aldrich' s
resolution extending the tribal govern
ment of the Indians was adopted after
1t was so modified as to carry that
government over until March 4, 1907.
The following bills were passed:
Granting to ST. Johns county, Florida,
certains lands in st. Augustine, known
as the lines" from school purposes.
Authorizing the appointment OF a
district judge for the western district
of South Carolina.

GREENE AND GAYNOR CASE
Introduction of Documentary Evidence
Resumed-Where Carter Got His
Wealth.

Savannah, aG., February 28.-The
Introduction of documentary evidence
was resumed in the Greene and Gay
nor conspiracy case in the United
States court today. District Attorney
Erwin explained that the relevancy
would be elucidated later by an expert
and that it would be shown that upon
CATERS return from Europe he turned
his securities over to Greene and Gay
nor, but that later, fearing he would
not get them back, had them trans
ferred to Westcott, and that later after
conference with Greene, they were
turned over to Greene.
Mr.. Erwin said the government pro-
posed to prove that while the defense
insisted that Carter got his wealth
from R. F. Westcott, as a matter of
fact, Westcott's testimony, to be in
troduced later, would show tha. he
did not.
The district attorney said the iesti-
mony of Westcott, now deceased, would
be read. This would show, he said,
that Westcott gave his daughter (Car-
ter's wife) 1888 a month; that she
died in 1892; that after that time
Westcott furnished a house and gave
Carter about $4,000 all told, and that
the bulk of Carters money was OBJ
tanned by a division with Greene and
Gaynor.
One remittance of Carter to Elise M.
TANNER, of Paris, for $500 francs was
shown by correspondence of the Union
Trust company. She had been Mrs.
Carter's maid.

Washington, February 28.-Secre-
tary Shaw of the treasury department
appeared today before the house COM
tions to discuss the Maynard bill pro-
viding appropriations for the James
town Ter-centennial Exposition. The
secretary expressed his emphatic dis
approval of the provision of the bill
for the coinage of $1,O00,00O two dol
lar silver pieces, upon which the ex-
position company desires to realize
100000 profit or the cost of the
seignierage. He said this means it
raising money is deception, that it
would be the sowing of dragons
teeth. He said we have enough differ
ent kinds of money and should have
no new coins.
Secretary Shaw advised that the ex-
position should be distinctly different
from previous expositionS and he Sug-
gested that the marine feature should
be emphasized and no attempt made to
rival previous exhibits of industrial
arts. He suggested an extensive ac-
quarium showing deep sea fish, much
after the style of the aquarium at the
battery in New York city
In the opinion of Secretary Shaw
the exposition company cannot expect
more from the government than
enough money to provide attractive,
extensive docking facilities and favor
able opportunity for all visitors to see
the naval display.
The secretary said the country can
not afford to have the exposition fail
because the participation of foreign
navies will make the affair more in
ternational in character than any pre-
vious fair. For this reason he urged
that the scope of the exposition be
narrowed and all efforts concentrated
on a marine e>,Iibit.
Assistant Se' -etary Newberry. of the
navy department also appeared before
the committee. He read a letter from
Assistant Secretary Bacon, of the state
department, stating that Great Britain,
Russia, France, Argentina, Cuba,
Guatemala, Belgium, Costa Rica and
several other powers have accepted
President Roosevelts invitation to par
ticipate in the exposition. The letter
stated that so far Siam was the only
power which has declined to partic-
ipate.
Mr.. Newberry said he thought a
club house at the exposition for off,
GERS of visiting navies would be very
desirable. He also expressed his ap-
proval of a building where the men
or the ndVleS might De eIleftdlneu ne
suggested that the American navy
had many excellent athletes and ad-
vised that plans be made for interna-
tional games between the jackies.
Secretary Taft and ]. G. Shof1eld.
the chief clerk of the war department
spoke of the participation of their de-
partment in the exposition. Both
stated that it was the purpose of the
war department to make an exhibit
similar to those made at st. Louis and
Portland The supervising architect
of the treasury, J. K. Taylor, also ad-
dressed the committee on proposed
buildings for the exposition site.

DOMINICAN TREATY REPORTED
lumber Of observation-disclosures
Made in Committee
SUPPORTED By REPUBLICANS
And Opposed by Democrats-New Sec
tions Added to the Treaty-Under
dertakes to Collect and D;sburse the
Customs Revenues of the Republic.

Washington. February 2S.-The
treaty between the United States and
the Dominican republic, under which
the former 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 or 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.
number of very important amend.
ments to the treaty were made by the
committee. Article seven was entire
ly rewritten, and as reported is materi-
ally shortened. 1t reads as follows:
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 purposes thereof"
For more than a year this article
has been the subject of disputes in the
committee. Republicans and demo-
Gratis were opposed to it, but on very
different grounds. The latter, by eau
Gus action, having determined to op-
pose the treaty in its entirety, left the
republicans free to agree upon some
amendment satisfac ctory to the latter.
Therefore in rewriting the amend
ment, the committee eliminated the
authority given to the Dominican re-
public and receive assistance from this
government The arr1cfe now pro-
vides that the United States may
grant upon it's own initiative, such re-
lief as it desires.
There were added to the treaty two
new sections which are intended to
more definitely protect the United
States in all monetary dealings with
the creditors of the Dominican re-
public.
Another amendment gives to the
United States instead of the Dominican
government, the right to determine in
what manner the debts of the republic
shall be paid.
Briefly the treaty provides for the
adjustment of the claims against the
Dominican republic under the superN-
sion of the United States. This
government is to take charge Of the
customs houses and collect the reve-
nues, pay per cent to the Dominican
republic and withhold 55 per cent,
the latter amount to be used to liqui-
date the debts of the republic.
