DOMINICAN TREATY.
Measure Is In Same Position It Was a
 Year Ago.

Washington, May Especial )-The Santo Domingo treaty occupies exactly the same status that 1t did at this period in the last session of Congress and it is taken for granted that nothing more will be heard of it.
 At the close of the session frantic ef- forts were made by the Presidents friends to get vote. It ended in failure and the subject came up at the beginning of the present session and resulted in the sensational debate between Bailey and Patterson. The republicans need three democratic votes and can only get those of Patterson and c. McIIenry
 The Presidents duplicity in rate legis- lation ruined what ever chance he might have had to get another democratic vote on the Dominican treaty.

Chief Clerk A. C. Sexton to the secretary of state is getting ready to ship out blanks and all necessary papers for the registering of the voters of the various counties, and they will reach the probate Judges some time between the first and the tenth of June. Altogether the supplies make a large bundle to each county and have to be carefully guarded to prevent them from being lost or misplaced Here tofore they have been sent to some mem- Der of the Board of Registrars, but 1t was found that this resulted in much loss and delay and the plan of sending them to the judges of probate was adopted and receipts taken from each one of them.
 Each county has a board of three regis trars who register voters every even year They must go to every voting place in the county, giving notice of twenty days of the time and the place of sitting, They receive 8 per day pay and can sit in counties of less than fifty thousand peo- pie forty days, sixty days for counties of more population. They must sit be- tween the first day of July and the first of October
