Chance for An Argument.

Longmont, Colo.-W. H. Dickens OF
this city thinks he has the best seven
ty-acre field of wheat that has been
produced in Colorado this year. He
has told the secretary of the CONNER
cial association that he is willing to
back this claim by offering to wager
500 that his wheat will prove the best
upon comparison. Each man may put
up his 800 separately or all may
lump their sums and the person who
proves his field the best may take the
entire amount. In view of the fact
that there have been reported and
proved yields of nearly eighty bushels
of wheat to the acre here this year. It
seems that Mr.. Dickens has a fine
field of grain. He has made himself
almost a millionaire in his fields about
Longmont. SO his claim is one that
challenges notice.

 TREATY RATIFIED Means Annexation, Nothing Else, Says Senator Bacon PRECEDENT BAD FEATURE Georgia Senator conds> $ the Present Treaty-capitaliss Have Used 
 the Covering { as Cats
 PaYss -.e Says.
PRECEDENT BAD FEATURE

l Washingto's ebruary 25.--By a vote of
 43 to 19 u senate tonight ratified the Santo Doy 90 treaty. This was one more 1 vote in 1T of the affirmative than was
 required.
 The ratification of the treaty followed a ; debate in executive session during which
 Mr. Bacon Of Georgia condemned the l pending treaty as worse than that ne gotiated in 1905, the one supplanted by
 the pending one. The 1905 treaty author ized the United States to examine into the debts and pay what was justly due. The pending treaty, said MT. Bacon, provides for the scaling down of the Dominican debts to about 50 per cent of their face
 value with the exception of the claim of
 the San Domingo Improvement company, controlled by American capitalists, which l is to receive about 90 per cent of the face value These capitalists, Mr Bacon said, have used this government as a cats
 paw He expressed the belief that a large part of the debts were fraudulent, and
 that in providing for the payment without opportunity to adjust the clamis the Uni
 ted States is aiding graft and participating in placing an unjust burden on the rel public.
 Upon the form of settling, MT. Bacon
 thought there was an excellent opportuni- 1 ty for manipulation by men skilful in such
 transactions.
 The sale of per cent bonds to the
 amount of $20,0000Oo, payable in fifty
 years, which is a part of the plan of set
 clement provided for by the treaty, Mr.
 Bacon said. makes the United States re- l sponsible for the collection of revenues for 1 fifty years, and has the effect of estap- | lishing a protectorate over the republic.
 He asserted that this government has no l right under the constitution to create q 1 protectorate by treaty and he was even | doubtful if it could do under an act l of Congress.
 1 A protectorate over Santo Domingo, he declared, means eventually 1t would hay 1 to be extended over Hayt, and expressf 1 the opinion that if the United States sends it's authorized agents into the island | it never will withdraw them. Tt means annexation and nothing else," 1 he said.
 ] The worst feature, MT. Bacon said was 1 the precedent it established. He believed
 it would be the ground for similar pro- 1 ceedings in relation to other West Indian 1 islands and that 1t would extend to take
 in practically all of the Central Ameri- l can states.

20 NEGROES BURNED
 12 MORE MISSING
RESULT OF DESTRUCTION OF A STEAMER ON THE WARDMALAW RlVER-NEGROES PANNlCkY. WHITE PASSENGERS ESCAPE.

Charleston, S. C., February 25.-It is now known that twenty negro passengers were drowned or burned to death, and a dozen more are missing as result of the burning of the steamer Marion on Ward malaw river last Friday morning. Ow- ing to the inaccessibility of hte place de- tails were only received today when Cap tain Ferguson filed his report with the government inspectors.
 The great loss of life seems to have been on account of the negroes becoming terror stricken. There were seven white pas sengers, all of whom were saved.
 The fire started early in the morning when all the passengers were asleep and famed by a high wind spread rapidly, cutting off many persons, although the vessel was run into a wharf within a few minutes.
