STABLE GOVERNMENT
Expects Some Opposition From As

To place the Haitian people eventual
ly in charge of their own government
and their own deStinieS is declared TO
be the sole design of the adminlstra-
ton in taking advantage of the period
of reconstruction in the little republic,
which will enable the United States
government to take control of the
financial resources of Haiti until such
time as orderly methods are firmly es-
tablished and are likely to endure.
1t is felt that a period of ten years
probably will suffice, by which time the
Haitian people themselves will have
come to realize the advantages OF a
government, free from revolutions
springing from the ambitions of sell
fish politicians.
Secretary Lansing's Position.
In explanation of the design of the
United States government in thus seek
ing to extend to Haiti the same sort of
protectorate which is exercised over
Santo Domingo, Secretary Lansing said:
1--WE have only one purpose-that is
to help the Haitian people and prevent
them from being exploited by ire

OVER RAILROAD IN PARK
Desired to Lay Tracks to Hurry
Completion Of Interior De-
partn1ent Building.

Acting Secretary Breckenridge of the
War Department today gave Il hearing
to persons Interested in the project
for laying railroad tracks on lower
goth street into West Potomac Hark
and thence west to the site of the Lin
coin memorial. Application for per-
mission to lay these tracks was orig
inally made by John II. Parker OIL New
York, who has the contract for the con-
struction of the new building tor the
Interior Department on the square be-
tween 18th and 18th and f and r
streets.
He explained that the railroad was
to be used in transporting heaNE ma
terial to the site of the building ana
taking away about 100000 cubic yards
of earth to be excavated for the foun-
dations. The eNcavated material was
to be deposited near the site OF !ne

PORT Au PRINCE. August 25.-The
Haitian government has been $40" IN

American government, demanding con
troll over Haitian affairs. and. accord
ingly, the American charge dafalres
handed to the Haitian AUTHORITIES a
note granting delay until today
noon so that the senate and chamDer
of deputies might vote on resolution
authorizing the executive power 10
sign the convention with the Onlteo
States.
The deputies and senators have been
in secret committee meeting to discuss
the matter. They are hostile to the
principle involved and find the condi-
tons unacceptable. 1t is believed theE
will vote a resolution authorizing tue
executive power to sign treaty with
the United States, but they doubtless
will desire to discuss the terms OF the
convention before giving 1t their aP-
prevail, a measure necessary nhaei me
provisions of the Haitian consutution.
They declared today that they Will de-
cline to accept in it's entirety sucn a
convention as is contemplated by the
American government without nrSt
discussing it.
Provisions of Control.
Under the provisions of the suggest
ed convention dealing with control OF
the nations finances all Haitian reve-
nues collected will be set apart LOT.

At the close of the hearing Acting
Secretary Breckenridge said that he
would take the matter under advise
ment and probably would consult with
Secretary Garrison, who is expected
here in day or two, before taking
final action.

The hearing was held behind closed
doors. 1t is understood, however. that
the point was made that permission
previously had been given for the Bal
