opposition to the ratification of both
the treaties grows stronger day by
day: To many statesmen the most
Objectionable feature of the Colombian
treaty is not the absurdly unreasona-
BILE gift OF millions of the peoples
money, as much as they object to the
vast indemnity proposed, they are
still more incensed at the abject word
ing of the apology of sincere regret"
which many Democratic statesmen
realize is not only unnecessary but
actually humiliating to the amour
propre.
One of the foremost southerners
calls attention to the fact that we
gave France but fifteen millions for
the enormous tract known as the
Louisiana purchase of S24 900 square
miles, while for Florida we only paid
five millions, Or just One-fifth of the
amount we are asked to bestow on
Colombia, with expressions of sincere
regret, for the little narrow strip Of
land only forty miles long and about
ten miles wide.
Representative Jefferson Levy of
New York, owner OF Monticello, Va,
historic home of Thomas Jefferson, is
leading the fight in the house. while
Senator Smith of Wisconsin, ably aid
ed by southern senator's, is guarding
the peoples interests in the upper
hcamber. That the Colombia treaty
dates back to the Taft administration
does not make it any more acceptable
to the lawmakers or the people.

DIRTY MONEY AID
TO COUNTERFEITERS
Money Washing Machine Now in Use
by Government Makes Work Of
"ShOyers' Difficult.

Washington. July According to
Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, the
money washing machine which he in
vented is making the work of the
counterfeiter more difficult by raising
the standard OF money cleanliness.
Counterfeiters aim to give the bills
they place in circulation the appear
ance of having been in use for some
time; it tends to avert suspicion. 1t is
much easier to detect the fine engrav-
ing on new money than on an old and
soiled bill. The principal aid to
counterfeiting is unclean money,
which is the reason that the bank
OF England never reissues a note.

Before. the machines were put in
operation banks kept bills in circula-
ton until they were so torn and dirty
that it was impossible to keep them
in circulation longer, but when the
machines were installed the bankers
flooded the treasury with old notes
just to see what they would look like
when washed. Some of them were in
such condition that they could not be
handled. About 70 per cent of them
were thrown out as unfit for washing
and reissue, and these it was neces-
sary to redeem with new ones from
the bureau of engraving and printing.

Pit Yokes on His Chickens.

Smith Center, Kan, July AT the
home of J. N. Jones in this city is
seen the novel spectacle of "breachy"
Plymouth Rock hens wearing yokes
about their necks to prevent them
from squeezing through the meshes
of the poultry fence.
Mr.. Jones adopted the yoke scheme
when the hens persisted in getting out
after he had clipped their wings to
prevent them flying over the fence
The yokes are about a foot long and
Of light material.
The first day the biddies showed the
greatest surprise when repeatedly foil
ed in their attempts to pass through
the wire as had been their habit and
made frantic efforts to dislodge their
unwelcome burdens.

For more than half century the
Nsenate post office has been located in
the northeast corner OF the capitol,
in rooms which are now occupied by
the District of Columbia committee.
Recently change has been made and
the postOffice has now new and COM
! modious quarters on the second floor
Of the fine senate office building, not
far from the capitol.
Before the civil war the late Sena-
tor Arthur P. German of Maryland
for years held the position of post
master to the senate. 1t will be re-
membered that the famous Maryland
er rose from being page to being
not only United States senator, but
one of the most prominent solons in
the upper house.
Short But Unique Underground Trip.
While few visitors to Washington
fail to pay visit to the handsome
White marble office building of the
Senate and house many miss the
unique experience OF having ride
on the only senatorial trolley-line in
America, and probably the shortest
underground system in the world. In
less than half minute, the lawmak
ers, descending to the basement by
one of the senate offices many roomy
elevators, are whisked off in little
eight-seated open car, under the car
tracks and lawns by the underground
>Llono railroad and next moment find
themselves safely landed in the base
ment of the capitol
If the mono rail cars happen to
be full there is also small auto at
the senator's or visitors disposal
which makes the same journey with
equal CELEBRITY. Owing to some fault
in construction of the tunnel the
ground in the street has settled and
consequently the tourist who visits
the congressional library can see by
depression III .the road bed of the
Capitol Traction company's tracks
exactly where the tunnel extends.
Members of the house being SO num-
erOus and so much younger, general
" speaking, are not provided with a
similar underground road but have to
walk over to the capitol when sum
moned by telephone.
Although the administration is eX-
erting al Its power to hasten favor
able action upon the treaties with
Colombia and Nicaragua it becomes
more evident every day that particu-
larly the proposed payment to Colom-
bia of IS millions of dollars is decid-
edly distasteful to congress and that

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

Washington, July 4.-Although, next
to Cuba, the largest of the West In
dies, the island which is divided be-
tween the Dominican republic and
Haiti, is the least known and offers
the greatest possibilities for future
development. The bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. of the depart
ment of commerce, has just issued an
interesting monograph entitled de
velopment of the Dominican Repub-
lic," which treats of the general fea-
lures of the republic, its agricultural
possibilities, its import and export
trade in detail and the countries par
ticipating in it. its shipping facilities,
and other information which should
make the publication useful COM
pendulum for consultation as to the
country's trade, resources, etc.

He pointed with great pride to every
thing his party has done and inform
ed his constituents that their repre-
sentative had had a hand in working
great reforms.
Hundreds Of thousands of voters
throughout the United States are re-
ceiving letters of this character now
adays. 1t is the result of the all
summer session, the presidents die
tum that congress must remain here
in Washington and past trust bills be-
fore adjournment. Every member of
the house must fade campaign next
fall and probably three-fourths of the
members of the house prefer to be
back home now combating the claims
Of rival candidates.
Afraid to Leave, Afraid to Stay.
II member skips away, however,
he is recorded as "absent" ION the
house roll calls, and he thereby fur
nishes additional ammunition for his
opponent. Consequently, the average
member compromises by staying in
Washington and keeping the mimeo-
graph busy.
One frightened member of the house
recently confessed that he has already
spent 1,400 for postage alone and his
campaign is but fairly launched.
Dozens of members have mailing
forces of from three to six girls at
work and every voter in the district
not only gets letter but nanny let
tiers in the several months prior to
the balloting
campaign year is an expensive propo-
sition for the average house member
and the art of letter writing has de-
veloped here to a remarkable extent
since it became apparent that dutiful
members of congress must conduct a
long distance campaign for reelection.

Washington. July Indicating the

OF circular letters going out of this

Over in the house office building an
electric mimeograph machine keeps
busy grinding ouS letters from vari-
GUS congressman tQ their various dis

the mimeograph force on day and
Congressman Trump keeps the force
busy the next day and so on.
