Radical reforms in the conduct Of

instituted by Dr. W. c. Woodward, Dis

local meat markets were extremely IN

and the Department Of Agriculture con-
ferTed, and Dr. T. n. McKe0wn, inspec-

HAS TREATY READY TO sign
Secretary Root Urges Compact with
Santo Domingo.
Wishes To Provide for Settlement Of
Little Republics Foreign and
Domestic Debt.

Secretary of State Root was again he
fore the Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations yesterday morning TO urge the
necessity for the ratification of a treaty
with Santo Domingo providing for the
settlement of its outstanding foreign and
domestic debt
His argument was addressed particu-
larly TO the question as to whether the
republic would be able to handle its
debts without any outside assistance.
Prof. Hollander who was sent especially
by this government 20 Santo Domingo
and Europe 10 study the question. viii
be heard on the same subject next We'd
nesday- IN the opinion of the Secretary
of State, the little republic viii not be
able TO manage the situation without the
moral support of some outside power
and, he stated. If the United States IS
not willing TO extend the helping hand
there is no doubt that one of Sauto Do
mingo's European creditor nations will
step in and assume the control Of the
republics revenues. This would mean
the presence Of q European flag on war
ships in Santo D0mingan waters. for the
purpose of carrying out the arrangement
during the whole period Of the amortiza-
tiOn of the debt That has been cdlcu-
lated at forty or fifty years.
Il has been decided best 10 present an
entirely new treaty rather than attempt
to amend the original convention now
before the committee, and it is expected
that the State Department VIII De able
to sabmit this in the near future. proba-
bly, next week. An earnest effort viii be
made To secure ratification OF the new
treaty at this session.
Part of the Democratic opposition TO
the original draft has been met by the
action OF Santo Domingo itself in nego-
tiatinS and scaling down the foreign
debt, instead Of putting that delicate
duty upon the United States The Re
pubhcans. however. lack three votes Of
being able TO ratify the treaty without
Democratic assistance. Should that not
be forthcoming, il is the talk among mem
bers or the Senate committee that it
would be advisable for the President TO
call IN extra session Of the Senate March
{ TO dispose Of the question AT that
time the Republican strength viii have
been increased by the addition Of RepubIi-
cans from Oregon, Idaho. and Colorado.
in place Of Democrats now representing
those States.
II is understood that the Secretary Of
State has already in his possession. in
the form Of a memorandum, "a draft of
the proposed new treaty and that he has
told members Of the Senate committee
that it could be negotiated within twenty
four hours If it meets with their approval.
This is taken TO indicate that il has al
ready been approved in Santo Domingo
and that the minister from that republic
stationed here has his Instructions to
sign it whenever the State Department
desires.
As a result of the SeCretary's talk with
the committee yesterday il Is expected
that the new treaty Will be formally
drafted and signed at the State Depart

AN OVATION TO MR.. WILLARD.
Remarkable Scene at the National
Theater Last Night.


The scene at the National Theater last
night when the curtain dropped on the
closing scene of Tom Pinch" has not
been equaIed in this city for many years

people, rose from their seats and ac-

sion Of appreciation which amounted to

native land, but promising 10 return in
due time to the alien country which had
accorded him such a hospitable reception.
Tom Pinch. as drawn By that master
Of character deline2tors, Charles Dickens.
is one of Mr.. Wizards most pleasing i'm
presentations. The awkword figure in the
Snuff-cOiOred suit is an insignificant one
but the soul within is the thing which the
writer intended 10 impress upon his read
ers, and this is the element of the char
acter so clearly expressed by the art of
the actor. The self-abasement. the
ab0unding love, and simplicity of heart
and mind are shown with mastery skin
and the whole portrayal is intensified by
the presence of intelligence and refine
ment. 1t forms a fitting link in the chain
Of exquisite character parts which serves
to place Mr.. Willard in a lofty position
among modern actors
The support accorded the principal in
this, as in all his productions is of the
best quality, especially noticeable being
the old Martin Chuzzlewit of Mr.. Ivan
F. Simpson and the Pecksnif of Mr.. II
Crane. Like most of the dramatizations
from Dickens, the action of the play is
not remarkable
The engagement which Mr.. Willard
closed last night has been the most sue
CesSful in point of attendance of the nlanv
he has played in Washington. His popu-
larity here has steadily increased from
his first visit, dozen or more years ago
