and join Rodriguez at Monte Cristi.
When news reached Washington
that a revolution had broken out in
Santo Domingo, that President Nor
ales had fed his capital; that two
factions were fighting and that no
government existed on the island,
there was a manifest disposition OF
the administration here to wash its
hands of the whole matter. It Is adj
mitted that if Morales is driven out
and if the island is to be disturbed
by long revolution, the schemes of
President Roosevelt to continue the
modus vivendi and collect the GUS
toms must fall.
This government apparently has
abandoned Morales to his fate. The
intention of the President seems to
be only to take such steps as will pro-
tect the lives of the American receiv-
ers, clerks, collectors and others who
have been loaned to Morales and COM
missioned by him.
OdI1OS VI OdA-
to Domingo, who fled from his capital
and is a fugitive from the wrath of
the revolutionists, is a product Of one
of the many revolutions peculiar to
Latin America. He is not yet 40, was
born at Porto Plata, in the island, was
educated for a priest, and for eight
years followed that calling. He then
turned his attention to the politics Of
his disturbed little country, served I'M
der Jiminez and Wos y Gil, and on
two occasions was exiled for plotting
against the government. He had par
ticipated in six unsuccessful revolu-
tons, when, in October, 1903, he led
an attack on the then President Wos
y Gil, and being successful, declared
himself dictator and later president.
He claims to be friendly to the United
States, but has always resented the
interference of this country in the af-
fairs of the islands.

ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.
Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.

Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.
Human nature may be more pro-
ductively worked than a gold mine if
you know a right method, says the
Atlanta Journal.
General Manager Chapman Of the In
dianapolis and Eastern Electric rail
way, recently utilized his knowledge of
human nature in a novel way.
His company had park the soil of
which it wanted to plow up and pull
verize thoroughly at small cost, at the
same time attracting some traffic to
the park. It therefore buried 5000 in
gold coin in various parts of the park
and threw the place open to any pa
tron of the street cars that wished to
dig, prescribing only that none but
small hand implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thronged by amateur miners
and by the time all the coin was found
the entire surface of the park had been
loosenel up and reduced to powder to
an extent that no landscape gardener
ever saw equaled. The street car COM
pany got it's $500 back in fares and at
the same time gots it's park thoroughly
plowed for nothing. Many will ten
derly recall the old school reader story
Of the dying father who called his sons
to his bedside and informed them that,
though the old farm he was about to
leave them was worn out and had be-
come unproductiye, there was buried
somewhere upon it great treasure
and if they would persistently dig for
it they would surely find rich reward
The sons digged and digged and
digged, turning the old farm upside
down and inside out, and, though they
found no sign of the gold they expect
ed their harvests Of grain became
enormous and their reward was richer
than they knew.
Through some popularity in our
construction we are willing to work
ten times as hard ''to get something
for nothing" as to earn it in ordiary
wages.

A DISASTROUS SEASON.

Many Vessels Lost ON the Great
Lakes During the Past Year.
Navigation for the year on the Great
Lakes has been one Of unequaled hard
ship and disaster to all concerned. The
total value of vessels lost is placed at
$4,625, 900, and Of cargoes at $75O,O0O,
which is greater than ever before
reached.
Seventy-nine vessels were destroyed by
storm and fire. There were 740 casual
ties of all kinds. Last year there were
only 43O, in 1908 there were 522 and
in 1902 $50. Lake Erie led all the
lakes, with 15S disasters; Lake Superior
was next with 1923; Lake Huron had 1OS;
Detroit and st. Clair rivers, ia; 500
Passage IS and Lake Ontario 48.
Lake Superior led all the lakes in the
number of lives lost and property de-
stroyed. The storm of Nov. % of this
year was one of the most destructive
ever known. The property loss by it is
now estimated at $1,75000O, and this
will be greatly increased if some of the
big vessels now ashore are not released
before winter sets in.
Marine underwriters have been hard
hit. Some of the big companies will be
called upon to pay So for every dollar
received in premiums. The losses which
they will have to pay aggregate $1,516,-
900 on hulls and $4,000 on cargoes,
which does not take into account a long
list of partial losses.
The great losses of the past season
occurred during the three big storms of
the fall During the early months of
the season the underwriters were re-
markably fortunate, few of the boats
lost being insured. Owing solely to the
fact that the steel trust does not carry
marine insurance, some OF the companies
probably escaped bankruptcy. Up to the
present year the steel trust has made
money by not insuring. The premiums
on it's fleet would amount to about $780,
600 a year. A comfortable surplus was
accumulated during 1903 and 1904, but
it is said that the November storm wiped

Butterfly collectors are seldom abe
n estimate with any confidence the
value of their collections, since the
prices for specimens SO constantly
vary. A case in point is that OF the
blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens OF
which were originally sold for from
$50 to S75. Not long ago some col
lectors who supplied the London mar
ket ran into a perfect swarm of these
butterflies and shipped to England
such quantities that better specimens
than the original insects are sold for
ST each. It not infrequently happens
that two or three specimens of GER
tain family are discovered by col
lectors, who, encouraged by the high
prices received for their finds, are
tempted to prosecute their search for
this particular variety without result
for several years. Suddenly they or
some other collector finds the insects
grown plentiful, and the cherished
varieties of the cabinet become among
the commonest specimens.

Speaker Cannon. He won out against
the Senate last session in the matter
of Statehood legislation. He also won
out in a number of other particulars
which, because of the graceful acquies-
cence of the Senate, did not attract
the same amount Of attention. Mr..
Cannon is the sworn enemy of the
Senate. He has made that clear. Just
before he was elected Speaker Of the
House he took the floor one day and
delivered denunciation Of the Senate
methods and the manner in which the
House had repeatedly given up to the
Senate that attracted national and
even international attention. He plain
ly threw down the gauntlet. He said
in effect that the House had always
given down to Senate pressure and
that he was tired of the method that
prevailed Of the House being the body
that always had to yield. For one he
was up in arms against the system and
hoped to see it end. So outspoken and
plain was Mr.. Cannon that members
of the Senate, including Hale, Spooner
and Allison, felt called upon to reply
to what Mr.. Cannon said.
1t is popular and well-founded be-
lief that the Senate really shapes out
and finishes and completes the legisla-
ton of the Congress and makes it tight
and so it will hold water and resist
the strain put upon it by the courts.

The Lobby Against Arizona State
hood Is Very Powerful

The Lobby Against Arizona State
hood Is Very Powerful.
Hobbies are thick in the corridors of
the big, White national state house these
days. There is the railroad lobby, well
and persistently maintained. But the
most strenuous and dangerous, as we'll as
the most picturesque lobby of all, is the
mine owners lobby from Arizona, fight
ing statehood for that territory. It is
picturesque because of the bold methods
its employs, and because it has at least
two United States Senators among its
hackers. 1t is dangerous because of the
possibility that grave scandals NAV re-
suit from its operations. 1t is a lobby
with hundreds Of millions of dollars back
of it. The agents and manipulators of
its schemes are too smart to offer out
right brides. But they have mining stock
for sale-stock which is sure to earn a
big proft-stock that will ''pay big to all
who get in on the ground floor. And
just now we are letting a little of it out
to our friends
1t seems rather strange that the rich
mine owners of Arizona should be fight
ing statehood, either single or Joint, but
the reason for it is not far to seek. They
own the territory now. They run it.
They are lords of the estate. Naturally
they do not want to run any risks by
change to statehood. These mining cor
porations have had things their own way
all along the line, but in no particular
so emphatically as in the assessed valua-
ton of their property upon which they
are called to pay taxes.
These powerful corporations do not
want statehood. They can operate more
independently and proftably under a ter
ritorial form of government, and thew
stand ready to devote big share of their
millions to the work of preventing the
passage of bill giving Arizona either
single statehood or joint statehood with
New Mexico.
