San DOMINGO treaty
IS RATIFIED BY SENATE

Washington, Feb. 26.-By vote of
43 to 10 the senate last night ratified
the Santo Domingo treaty. The rati-
fication followed an executive session
in which Mr.. Bacon. of Georgia, con-
demned the treaty as worse than the
one negotiated in 1905, which is now
supplsnted. The 1905 treaty author
lied the United States to examine into
the debts and pay what was justly
due.
He declared this government has no
right, under the constitution, to cre-
ate protectorate by treaty, and he
was even doubtful if it could do so
under an act of congress. cit means
annexation, and nothing else. "he said.
He believed it would be ground for
similar proceedings in relation to other
West Indian islands, and that it would
extend to take in practically the en-
tire group.

RAILROADS RUSH work
ON OLYMPIC peninsula

Seattle, Feb. 2S.-The Post -Intelli.
gencer this morning publishes full
page article which purports to detail
the movements of railroad companies
on the Olympic peninsula. Following
is summary of the article:
The mask of secrecy which has
yelled the railroad movements on the
Olympic peninsula, was last week torn
aside when the Northern Pacific dis.
covered that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul and the Union Pacific
would build belt line around the Dc.
ninsula. This line will parallel line
on which the Northern Pacific is at
work.
The Hill-Harriman battle is to be
renewed on the Olympic peninsula for
one of the richest prizes in the United
States. The Standard OIL interests
are recognized as the financial hackers
of both the Milwaukee and Union Pa.
cicfi.
The Northern Pacific management
Immediately threw corps of engin-
GERS in the field to parallel along the
straits the contemplated line of the
Milwaukee. All over the peninsula
railroad engineers and surveyors are
working with the greatest possible
speed.
The Milwaukee has bought and is
buying immense timber tracts. The
traffic from this timber will be shared
by the Union Pacific. Each will build
q part of the belt line.
The Union Pacific and Milwaukee
will have joint line from Seattle to
Portland.

MAY LIMIT TRAIN SPEED
Illinois Legislature Seriously Consider.
ing Measure.

ing Measure.
Springfield, Ills, Feb. 26.-Aroused
by recent numerous railroad wrecks
and the appalling loss of life, Illinois
legislators have begun seriously to
consider laws regulating fast trains.
It is believed a law can be put
through which will give passengers
some sort of assurance that they can
undertake a journey with some chance
of getting to their destinations in good
health and condition, instead of in
box or in fragments.
Logan Hay, of Springfield, who is q
member of the upper house, said it
was within the province of the legisla-
ture to regulate the speed of trains
both state and interstate, within the
boundaries of Illinois. Lieutenant
Governor L. Y. Sherman has contend
ed for some time that this subject
should be taken up by the Legislature
and given serious consideration. he
is one of those who insists that fast
trains are not necessary to the exist
ence of commercial life.

PERKINS NOT GUILTY
New York Court of Appeals Divided On
the Decision.


Albany, N. Y, Feb. 27.-The court
of appeals has decided in favor of
George w. Perkins, vice president
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany and member of the firm of J.
P. Morgan & Co., in the matter of the
charge of grand larceny made against
him in connection with the payment
OF funds of the New York Life to the
Republican national campaign COM
mittee in 1904. The decision is by q
divided court, voting four to three.
The prevailing opinion holds that
there was no larceny owing to the alb
sence of criminal intent. The dissent.
ing opinion holds that larceny consists
of taking property belonging to some
one else, even though for a commend
able purpose
Both the opinions agree that the ex-
penditure of New York Life money for
campaign purposes was illegal and i'm
proper. Judge Gray, in the majority
opinion, says:
1T is undeniatly true that the pur-
pose for which the moneys of the COM
pany we're used were foreign to the
chartered purposes of the corporation,
but that fact does not make the pay
ment a criminal act. The innocent
motive IN indirectly promoting the
corporate affairs through the supposed
advantage of the continuation of the
Republican administration purged the
act OF immortality, and it lacked the
criminal intent"

EXPERIMENT WITH RAMlE
Secretary Wilson Will Try to Grow VAL
liable Chinese Fiber Plant.

Secretary Wilson Will Try to Grow VAL
liable Chinese Fiber Plant.
Washington, Feb 23.-Indications
now are that Secretary Wilson, OF the
department. of agriculture, will score
once more in his efforts to introduce
into this country new crops for the
lasting benefit of the farmers. After
agitation running for some years, a
favorable report has been made by q
committee of congress for an appro-
priation providing for experiments to
demonstrate the value Of ramie as a
crop to be grown IN this country
Ramie is fiber plant belonging to the
nettle family, and as it is successfully
grown in all portions Of the Chinese
empire and even as far northas kore a
and Manchuria, it is thought that it
will flourish in nearly every section
of the United States. The fiber is said
to be much longer and stronger than
that of fax, cotton, jute or silk. The
fiber is pearly white and about as
glossy as silk, and it will take cclors
with all the luster of silk. The con-
sequence is that it is used as an adul-
terant of silk in China, and, when so
used, really improves the goods by
making them stronger and of better
wearing quality.
The greatest difficulty in handling
the crop has always been that there
was no way except by hand work to
remove a very sticky gum which
binds the fiber together under the
bark of the plant. Now it is asserted,
however, that a amchine has been de-
vised by which this can be done, and
it is the purpose of the department
Of agriculture to establish a factory
in which the value of the fiber and of
the various machines for handling it
will be demonstrated in order to show
that there is market for the crop in
this country.
In favor of the crop, so far as the
farmer is concerned, it is noted that it
bings at the resent time in the open
market from 500 to 5000 ton; that it
is easily grown and treated; that it
does not require annual planting but
after being once established grows
each spring from the roots left in the
ground all winter; that the fiber can
be removed two or three times every
summer and that the stand gets better
as the years go by. An average crop
is 5000 pounds to the acre season.
1t is thought it will grow in nearly all
por lions of the United States. In fact
it has been grown for a number of
years in the botanical gardens in
Washington, and the climate here is
not very different from tn 1t of Ohio
