Gently sent here by the government

one Of the candidates.
Members of the Commission.
The American commission consists of
the American minister, James NJ. Sui
Ivan; ex-Gov. Fort of New Jersey and
Charles c. Smith. a Boston lawyer.
They decided, IL necessary to the i'm
mediate establishment of peace. that
President Bordas should get out, and
they gave him the preference of re-
signing or being forced out. He chose
the easier way. The commissioners
gave the Dominicans to understand
that the affairs in the republic had
taxed the Washington government to
the limit of its patience, and that I'M
less there was a quick change for the
better some determined and perhaps
drastic action would be necessary. as
the disorder was interfering with the
customs. The revenues are being col
lected by American officials who are
supplying part of them toward the
payment Of Santo Domingo's foreign
creditors.
New Minister of Justice.
]. B. Peynardo. who has been ap-
pointed minister of justice in the cab
met of President Baez, is brother of
the former Dominican minister at
| Washington. who recently resigned his
position, with the intention of retiring
from politics altogether. 1t is under
stood here that the former diplomat
could have been president of Santo Do
mingo if he had cared to accept the
place, but he preferred to retire. to
private life. He has bought the Span
ish weekly newspaper. Las Novedades,
in New York, and he will divide his
time and work between its publica-
ton and his law practice here.

Traditional Feature.

For many reasons the manage

don the street parade which has,
in wears past, been the usual thing
with travelling organizations OF
this size and character. Ii is set
forth in many instances the late ar.
rival of the trains bearing the para.
pherualia makes it impossible to
give a parade and start the after.
noon performance on time. Through
these delays the public Is compelled
to experience a tedious wait, while
the work OF preparing the perform
ance goes on. Again it is consider
cd an unnecessary hardship to com.
pei men, women and horses to par.

It would seem that the public is
entitled To a perfect performance,
which It pays tor, rather than TO a
lrcc street parade which gives, at
best, but a poor idea of the magui-
ude of the exhibition.
Another reason which has served
tn influence the decision is the fact
that merchants in the cities visited
object to parades because they in.
tcrrupt business and interfere with
general traffic. So strenuous is this
objection that in many cities per-
init to parade cannot be secured,
aud in other places the fee demand
ed is set at such an exorbitant rate
that it practically prohibits street
pageants. In any event the man.
agement is satisfied that the public
prefer afternoon performance given
