SENDS ORDER TO HAITI AND SAN
DOMINGO TO STOP
QUARREL.
PR0TEcT0RATE GIVES RIGHT
United States Guarantees Dominican
Debt and Has Power to Inform Hal
tians They Cannot Interfere With
American Interests.

Washington, Jan. 26.-That there
must be no war between Haiti and
San Domingo was the peremptory or
der issued by President Taft to the
American minister at San Domingo.
This is the first time that such an
order has ever gone forth from the
White House. The order is made pos
| sible by the fact that the United
States. by guaranteeing San Domin-
COS debt to European nations, made
of that republic protectorate Of
this government and, consequently
gave the United States the power to
tell Haiti that she cannot interfere
with American political institutions
in San Domingo
Quarrel Over Boundary.
San Domingo and Haiti have been
Quar:eling for over year about
frontier line San Domingo claimed
the right to extend one OF her roads
across the traditional border and this
brought up the old question of the
frontier Both nations armed for the
conflict and sent troops to the scene
Of trouble.
The president offered his good Of
flceS. There were some perfunctory
acknowledgements Of the favor but
the armies remained in camp.
The following is close paraphrase
of the telegram sent by order of the
| president to Minister Russell at San
Domingo:
THAT as there appears to he In
reality no essential difference be-
tween the proposal OF the Dominican
and Haitian government to reach an
amicable adjustment Of their present

Helena, Feb. 23.-Having as it's pur-

Of the great northwest, which is inter-
preted to include Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, there will be
organized at a meeting soon to be held
in Helena the Northwestern Develop
states named This information is
brought here by Sam W. Teagarden
on his return from st. Paul where he
attended dinner given by Louis w.
Hill to business men of Minneapolis
and st. Paul When the Omaha eX-
position of western lands products
was in progress, what Is called the
Western Development Association was
formed, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington being invited to join. The as
sociation is composed of the CONNER
cial bodies of Utah, Colorado, Nebras-
ka and Wyoming, and it's declared OBJ
ject is to advertise western oppor-
tunities in eastern papers and to con-
centrate immigration at Omaha and
let it be diverted into the subscribing
territory.
Montana, Washington and Oregon
did not accept the invitation to join
this organization for the reason that
1t was believed the center to which
it was proposed to concentrate the
stream of settlers was too far south
and would result in the greater por-
ton of the people being sent into the
states Immediately west Of the city Of
Omaha to the detriment of the ones
further to the northwest.
From the Omaha show Mr.. Teagar-
den went to Minneapolis and ST. Paul
to help promote a plan for the CO.
operative development for TIE real
northwest The decision at the Hill
dinner was that the movement for a
northwestern development league
should be pushed forward, the states
interested to be Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
The plan is to have Governor Norris
of Montana invite all the governors
of the states included to attend a
meeting at Helena and at the same
time the secretaries of associations
will extend an invitation to all COM
mercial clubs and kindred bodies to
send delegates The governor expects
to issue his call in few days.

Rev. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the new association Of women
suffragists, summed up for her side in
witty speech in which she said the
government has taxed the clothes of
the women in the East in order to pay
for irrigation in the West, and that
if women had the right to vote this

LOYALTY TO GREAT BRITAIN is
FORMALLY DECLARED IN
RESOLUTION.
LAURIER STATES THE SITUATION
Dispels Growing Feeling of Unrest
Reciprocity Treaty's Status
Not Upset, 1t Would
Seem.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. %. = The Cana
dian parliament unanimously declared
political loyalty to Great Britain.
The declaration was made as an an
sWer to allegations that reciprocity
with the United States will result in
annexation
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and r. l.. Bor-
den, leader of the opposition, had
planned that the reciprocity debate
follow its regular course. The prime
minister had moved the house into
committee for that purpose when F. D.
Monk, the chief French nationalist as
serted that in Canada, the United
men and part of the press had stated
that annexation was bound to follow
reciprocity. He believed that there
was no genuine annexation sentiment
in Canada, and that statement to
that effect should be made formally
He therefore moved an amendment de-
claring that with view to dispelling
the feeling of unrest created in Can
ada by comments made in the United
States and Canada as to the political
consequences of the agreement. the
house affirm emphatically it's determ-
lnatlon to preserve intact the bonds
which unite Canada to the British,
empire and the full liberty of Canada
to control her fiscal policy and intern
al autonomy.
Laurier Makes Statement.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier accepted the
Monk amendment, though in doing so
he adopted the unusual course of ac-
cepting an amendment to a govern
ment motion from an opponent of the
administration. The amendment was
adopted without dissenting voice, but
before the vote was reached there was
an expression of opinion from leading
members Of the house.
Mr.. Borden said he was of the opin.
ion the American congress had not
accepted the proposal on economic
grounds, but because it would lead to
political absorption.
W. f. MacLean said there was the
germ of annexation in the agreement
which had been "concocted" by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, "the new car of Can
ada" and President Taft, "the czar
of the United States
w. S. Fielding said the only people
in Canada who were talking of an
nexation being the consequence of the
agreement were those who were op-
posing reciprocity.

CANADIAN PACT
OPPOSED BY SENATE
Upper House Votes Against Reel
proCity Agreement.
FIGHT IS NOT SETTLED
Senator Randoph's Joint Measure Ask
ing Congress to Pass Treaty Is
Killed by Vote of Twenty
to Nine.

Madison.-The vote of the senate to
table the ratification of the reciprocity
agreement does not settle the scrap
over the measure, as the as
sembly will take up the du-
plicate of the Randolph resolu-
ton, together with Axel Johnson's
substitute and his amendment there
erence to Senator La Toilette aas "our
great leader and incidentally it
operated to foil the well-laid plans
of the Democratic minority to occupy
the mornings session with debate on
the question.
Should the assembly finally adopt
some sort of resolution relating to
reciprocity, the senate will have an
other opportunity of indulging in
Tepartee on the subject so the upper
house action does not necessarily
mean that debate has been ruthlessly
cut off. 1t is believed, however, that
the senate majority probably will
treat any assembly action in precise
ly the same manner as it treated the
Randolph resolution, ostensibly on
the theory that the legislature does
not possess sufficient information to
warrant giving any advice to con-
gress."
Senator Randolphs joint resolution
asking congress to pass the reciproc-
ity treaty with Canada was killed in
the senate by vote Of 20 to 3.
While the vote was on motion by
Senator Browne to lay on the table,
the vote records the real sentiment
of the upper house on the measure
itself.
The debate on the merits of the
resolution extended over an hour, and
arose upon a request by Senator Gay
lord for information on the merits
Of the proposition. Senator Randolph,
the author of the measure, in answer
TO the Social Democratic senator from
Milwaukee, quoted largely from
speech delivered in the United States
senate by Senator Cummins of Iowa.
At the close of the quotation he urged
the passage of the resolution, on the
ground that congress would adjourn
shortly, and that there was not time
to go into the merits or dement's OF
the various schedules in the reciproc-
tty pact.

Would Be Autocrat of Schools.

That the proposal of the state SUI
perintendent of the schools of Wis
consin, as embodied in the Wehrwein
bill, will make him not only complete
autocrat of the high schools but will
give him power possessed by no other
state superintendent, namely, the con-
troll of admission requirements to the
state university and thus make 1t pos
sible for him to dominate both the
high schools and the university, was
the declaration of President Charles
r. Van Hise of the University of Wis
consin in a public hearing before the
legislature
The proposed bill, President Van
Hise showed. would really make the
state superintendent determine the
nature of much Of the work done at
the university; and inasmuch as the
proposed bill would admit students
not properly prepared, it would COM
pei the university to do high school
work and thus increase the expenses
President Van Hise denied abso-
lutely that the university dominated
the high schools Of the state. It is
not true, he said, that high schools
must shape their courses so as to
meet the university entrance require
mentS.
The university from time to time,
through conferences with the high
school principals and superintendent,
has modified it's entrance rauuire-
ments to meet the needs of changing
conditions. Only recently as a re-
suit Of such conference faculty decid-
ed to accept four units of applied sci
ence, commercial studies or agricul-
ture, for admission to the university.
Such action by the university faculty,
President Van Hise declared, showed
that the university has adapted and
will continue to adapt the admission
requirements of the university to the
high schools of the state.
The superintendent and supervi-
| sing high school principals of Wiscon-
sin, President Van Hise pointed out,
went on record last year with resolu-
tons in which they heartily approved
of the inspection of the high school
| by both tNo state superintendent and
the univt- ~ity," and most earnestly
| opposed any and all legislation that
would deprive the high schools of the
| benefits of inspection by either the
| state superintendent or the univer-
sity.'

ASQUITH'S VETO BILL PASSES
PRIMER Cheered Over His Victory to
Curtai Lords Power.

London, Feb. 23.-Premier Asquith
was given an ovation by his support,
ers in the house of commons when
the parliament bill, otherwise known
as the veto bill, measure designed to
curtail the power of the lords, was
passed on it's first reading by the
governments full majority of 1874, the
vote being 351 to 227.
The nationalists first rose in their
places, cheering wildly and waving
their hats. The liberal members
quickly emulated their example. This
exhibition of enthusiasm was repeated
a few minutes later as the prime min
lister quietly left the scene of his vic
tory in his initial action against the
lords
The dominant note of the unionist
speeches in the debate was an invita-
ton to the government to settle the
matter by agreement. The Ri. Hon.
George Wyndham also urged the gov
eminent to accept the invitation to
settle the question by agreement.
Otherwise, he said, sooner or later the
opposition would repeal the bill.
To these persuasions, Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill the home secretary,
concluding the debate for the govern
ment, replied the ministers would not
have fifty supports left if they
agreed to enter such conference now.
