FEARED COMPLICATIONS MAY AVISE EXPECTED EUROPEAN POWERS WILL TAKE STEPS TO COL- LECT AMOUNTS DUE. ‘Washington, March “.—In view of the expected adjournment of the pres- ent extra session of the senate with- out favorable action ipon the pending Dominican treaty it i understood that the state department has determined to proceed with the collection of cus- toms at Puerto Plata and Monte Cristi under the terms of the arbitration award of last year. It is possible that there will be some change in the per- sonnel of the collector’s force and as the agent in charge, Mr. Abbott, has been designated as such by the San Domiugo Improvement company, the beneficiary of the award, the state de- partment itself probably will now name the agent and confirm the selec- tion of subordinates to be assigned to duty in the customshouses. In this connection the name of Professor Hol. lander of Johns Hopkins university, at one time treasurer of Porto Rico, has been cousidered. So with this ex- ception there will be no change in the relations between the United States and San Domingo during the coming summer. § Complications ' Are Feared. It is teared, however, that complica- tions may arise through the action of some of the European powcrs whese citizens are heavy creditors of Sarnty Domingo. These claims have beecn held in abeyance because the Euro- pean governments interested desire to shape their policies relative to Santo Domingo by those of America, being desirous of avoiding any friction that would cause ill feeling in this ¢ and apprehension that the integ the Monroe doctrine! was an ob attack. The questién s -whether®in view of the failure of the senate (o act favorably upon the treaty, which wonld have provided the means for the pay- ment_of these c¢laims, the European governments will longer refrain fr independent action to collect th debts and although it is fully realized here that such -action, if attended by coercive measures, will probably cause an ebuiition of feeling in the country similar to that attending the appear- ance of the allied fleet on the Venezu- elan coast in the winter of 1902-3, the state department will not feel author- ized to Intervene without a protest. CONDEMNED BY MORGAN. Publication of Proceedings of Senate Executive Sessions. ‘Washington, March —Soon after the senate met Mr. Morgan had read an account of the proceedings of the executive session of the senate the previous day and severely arraigned the publication of executive sessions. During the course of his remarks Mr. Morgan presented a resolution directing the committee on foreign re- lations to investigate the facts in con- nection with the negotiations of the Dominican protocol-of Jan. 31, 1903. Objection was made by Mr. Culiom to reading the resolution because it related to executive business, but it was held by Vice President Fairbanks that the resolution could be read un- less a demand was made for a secret session. [TCHING ecZEMA In July, 1883, T began tobréak out with | Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and began treatment with local doctors, but did not get much relief. They said the dis- ease had become chronic. I then quit them and tried various ointments and soaps for ianother two years, but as soon as cold weather came I was asbad off asever, so I finally decided tolet medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years did nothing | towards curing the Eczema, except bath- ing. This seemed to do about as much good-as anything I had tried. During the time T lostabout one-half of my hair, Ibegan $.$.S. doubtful of a { cure, because the disease had run solong, ' but soon discovered your medicine was % domg me good, and continued to take it.

Cured After Physicians Said He Had CGonsumption. E. H. Jones, Pastor M. E. Church, Grove, Md., writes: ‘‘About seven or eight years ago I had a very severe cold which physicians said was very near pneumonia, and which they afterwards proncunced consumption. Through a friend ¥ was induced to try a sample of Foley’s Honey and Tar, which gave me so much relief that I bought some of the regular size.

Kuropatkin Informs Czar of His Re- tirement. St. Petersburg, Marct X.—A tele- gram (rom General Kuropatkin to Em- peror Nicholas, dated March 17, says: “In accordance with the orders of your majesty received March 16 I handed over to General Linevitch to- day the command of the land and sea forces operating against the Japanese.” | DISMISS IDEA OF PEACE. Japanese Prepared to Prosecute the War Vigorously. Tokio, Marck #.—The Japanese ! press considers that Manchuria is now virtually in a state of Japanese occu- pation, but the papers dismiss the thoughts of speedy peace in view of the Russian reluctance to admit de- feat. Under the circumstances, there- fore, it 1s held that it will be essen- tial to prosecute the war vigorously. The premier, speaking at a dinner of the Bankers' club, asked his hear- ers to.conceive themselves in the posi- tion of Russia, who, although enor- mously superior in resources, popula: tion and military renown, is now con- fronted-with tke painful’ question of- suing for peace with a nation hitherto regarded with-contempt. It would be unwise, he said, to anticipate such a concession. "The Japanese, he added, must be prepared to continue the war to the bitter end. DOMESTIC LOAN PROPOSED. Russia Will Secure One Hundred Mil- lions at Home. St. Petersburg, March .f,—An inter- nal credit loan of §$100,000,000 on a & per cent basis is now being negotiated by the ministry of finance. The loan will _be floated probably in a short time. The price of issuance has not been determined upon, but probably Wwill be 93 to 95. The Associated Press was informed at the ministry that the issnance of this loan is entirely inde- pendent of the Fremch negotiations, which have not yet been concluded. The banks are prepared to under- write the loan on suitable terms. The government savings bank, it is said, will assume $25,000,000 of the total and such banks as the Moscow Mer chants’ and the Volga and Kama banks are well able to underwrite large por- tions of the loan from their resources.
