new TREATY FRAMED
Substitute Agreement with
SantO Domingo Made.
WILL KILL THE OLD COMPACT
Government WIFI Not Ac-
cept Any Responsibility for Distri-
Agents-Fears Expressed IL VIII
stIT Fail of Ratification.

In the hope Of meeting the objections Of
the Senate, the United States government
has negotiated an entirely new treaty
with the government of Santo Domingo.
which provides the arrangement for the
exercise Of supervision over Dominican
fiscal affairs. The pending treaty, which
was so vigorously opposed by leading
Senators without regard to party lines.
will be Withdrawn by the President. who.
In submitting the substitute convention,
VIII forward a message advocating its rati-
fcation.
The most marked difference between the
pending and the new treaty Is that in the
latter this government does not accept any
responsibility for the distribution Of the
revenues collected by American agents
and sequestrated for the purpose Of liqui-
dating the Dominican governments in
debtedness to foreign creditors. 1t Is set
forth clearly in the new treaty also that
the United States will not accept RESPONSE
bility for determining what are the just
obligations OF Santo Domingo.
The Dominican government has reached
an understanding with the foreign bond
holders as 10 the peeuniary extent 20
which the government is bound by its
bonds The aggregate has been scaled
down several million dollars. Under the
arrangement made the foreign bond
holders have agreed 10 the funding Of
their holdings and the acceptance OF in
terest-beaTing bonds at low rates Of in
teTest in place OF the securities held by
them This arrangement. IL is COntended.
makes II unnecessary for any foreign
power. including the United States to
take a hand in adjudicating the foreign
debt.
President Roosevelt viii, in his special
message. give a full account Of the man
ner in which the revenue collections Of
SantO Domingo have been placed on an
honest basis under the supervision % an
American customs expert. Nearly S20Gl,
00o has been sequestrated in a New York
bank for the liquidation Of Santo Do
mingo's debts.
Very few Senators know Of the new
treaty. Some Of them believe II will not
meet the Senates objections. and that it
will not be acted on at this session Of
Congress.

embarrassed the House and Senate in
the closing hot hours of the last session.
Both Houses waited a long July day for

and costly errors almost went on the
statute books During the recess. under
the direction OF A. II. Howey. clerk to
the Joint Committee on Printing. the
whole matter was investigated, and the
Government Printing Office exonerated
from all blame.
There is a good deal OF criticism among
employees Of the Government Printing
Oflce that has come to the ears OF mem
bers Of the committee. This is generally
due, it is said. TO the changes made neces-
sary in the big printery because that com
mittee last session demanded reforms and
economies that enabled it to cut down the
appropriation for the printing Office By
the sum of Sl000.GO0
We were criticised, said Representative
Lands when speaking Of this phase of
the matter. for cutting down the appro-
priation. Is ii strange that the Public
Printer should be visited with criticism
IN carrying out the retrenchment required
by Congress? An angel out Of the sky

day and Saturday investigating the
grievances of the employees Of the local
office.
This fact was not generally known. and
all those who were aware of 1t kept the
secret mighty dark. Just what was ac-
c0mplished by this investigation cannot
be learned. but it is known that the two
officers had the cooperation of the in
vestigation committee of the local com
mercial telegraphers union. II is said
that the officers were astonished at the
claim made by the committee that some
Of the operators employed I'm the local Of
flee were receiving but SS5 month for
their services.
1t is also said that the committee is in
a position TO set forth evidence that some
operators are receiving even less than $35,
and that In some instances they are on
the pay rolls as clerks and messengers

gated Mr.. Paine and Mr. Fleming left

ton. case similar TO that of the dis
charged colored troops at Brownsville has
been made public
The entire company is under arrest, but
so far as can be learned the President
does not intend 20 discharge them as he
did the Brownsville troops. although their
offense is almost Identical, for the reason
hat the men were placed under arrest
because they refused to tell what they
were supposed to know about the muir
Ger of the lieutenant
The tragedy was the result of the
drunken condition Of Quartermaster
Sergt. Taylor, who had been called to
quarters by his superior officer and repri-
manded for indulging too freely in "bino,"
the native Philippine drink.
Told Taylor TO Quit Drinking.
Angry words followed when Lieut.. Cal
vert told Taylor to drink less. and imme-
diately afterward five shots were heard in
rapid succession. Every one OF them en-
tered Calverts body. one piercing his
heart and killing him
Taylor was at once arrested. and steps
were taken 10 get the men in the com
pany 10 tell what they knew Of the mat
ter, but, like the Brownsville troops. all
enlisted men and noncommissioned Of
fcers refused to say anything about it.
After being given several opportunities to
give testimony, they were placed under
arrest.
Lieut.. Calvert had been in command Of
the regiment for several months, and
was regarded as a popular officer. For
some time however, the men had given
signs Of discomfort. so that when he took
occasion TO reprimand Taylor trouble
was precipitated.
VIII Not Be Discharged.
Although it is regarded as likely that
the troops will be disciplined, it is not be-
lieved the men win be dishonorably dis
charged
Old officers who have served long in the
Philippine service say such action would
be hazardous, because of its probable ef-
feet on the troops in the islands. They
say tropical conditions there have pc
