j&int Beaooq. LEONARDTOWN. MD. Thursday Moaning, March 2,1906. For State Aid. The Commissioners’ Coart u in session last Monday, present Messrs. James H. Bailey and James T. Abell. The Board determined to make ap plication for State aid for the improve ment of about seven and a-half miles of road, vix: two and a-half miles on the Leonardtown-Chaptiooroad; two and a-half miles on the Meehanics ville mail road, beginning ator near Nelson’s gate; two and a-half miles on the Great Mills road, usually known as the “Clay Hill” road. The resolution adopted, recited that the County should not levy over S3OOO for the purpose of building these roads. This amount added to the State appropriation will make 96000 available for the construction of the designated roads. The portions of road selected are situate in the dif ferent Commiasionera’ districts so as to furnish conveniently accessible object lessons to all the road super visors of the county and also because of the importance of the different roads. The Commissioners were warmly congratulated by many taxpayers upon their action. Isaiah Canter, of Charlotte Hall, district, one of the largest taxpayers of that section telephoned bis approbation. Uis Honor, Associate Judge Crane, last Tuesday, expressed himself as very much pleased with the Commis sioners' action. Many others have writen their approval. WASHINGTON LETTER. (Prom Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington D. C. February 97. 1905. There are breakers ahead for the San Domingo treaty, in the estima tion of leading Democratic Senators, who declare that bad not the Senate so recently opposed the President's wish by amending the several arbi tration treaties, despite his vigor ous protests, a majority of Republi can Senators would vote against the San Domingan protocol. That some Republicans may do this seems ex tremely likely, among them Mr. Hale of Maine, who is above all else a conservative, who did not hesitate to oppose the Spanish War to the last ditch and who also opposed the acquisition of the Philippines, for s lime. A very serious problem is presented by the San Domingan agreement. In the estimation of many Senators its approval would lead to a period of “frenzied finance” in tbe South American republics. Financiers .confident that eventually they could prevail upon the United Stales to compel the payment of their loans, would lend the improvident South Americans abundant funds, at exborbitant rates of interest and their proffers of cash would be promptly accepted. Later, when the day of reckoning earns, Euro pean nations would call the atten tion of the United States to the San Domingan precedent, drop aaigoifi cant remark or two regarding the probable necessity of their using force to protect the interestsof their citizens, creditors of the South Amer ican republics, and then this coun try would be compelled to step in again and again and play tbe roll erf receiver for its insolvent neighbors to the South. Such a program would call for a large navy, an in creased marine corps and other ex pensive outlays, for which there would be no possible way of collect ing from the South American na tions or their foreign creditors. • • • In tbe ease of San Domingo it is pointed out that hardly more than one fourth of the sums for which that unfortunate and spendthrift county has obligated itself were ever advanced to it in actual cash. Loans of a million dollars were made oa which the “premium” amounted to fifty per cent. more, and the in terest was fixed at from & per cent. j a month upwards and compounded i each month. Of course, tbe San Domingan protocol provides that the United States shall have power to adjudicate all claims, but that of itself is likely to prove an almost interminable task and may provoke as bard feelings among European creditor nations as would a direct refusal either to interfere or to per mit them to exert force. V It is still too early to make any definite predictions, although pre sent appearances are that tbe con vention will ultimately be ratified after being materially amended. A long and very serious debate is cer tain, however, and It is not impos sible that certain amendments may 1 be incorporated in the treaty with the hope of making It ineffective as s precedent to which European na tions may appeal when they have difficulty to collecting the sums ad vanced by their citiaens to other South American borrowers. • • • Little short a i s travesty on Isgis iptkm was tbs ooosideratios of Ihs naval appropriation Mil conducted by tbs Senate committee on naval affairs this week. The committee occupied just sn hour considering measure which appropriates over 9100,000.000 end toe prospect* are tost no adequate lime will be devot ed to toe measure on the floor of the Senate. Tbe methods by which Congress does business are such that when a standing committee re ports a measure s majority erf the members of either bouse accept such report, for individual members of Congress have neither time nor toe information which would enable them to make any detailed examina tion of the various measures on which they are called upon to vote. I ucidentally the President appears to have won bis fight for two battle-1 ships despite toe fact that s majority of Congress believes further con struction of these monster engines of war, which cost fabulous sums is injudicious. • * • Congress has finally determined it would seem to conduct an investi gation of the now famous Osage In dian oil lease. Nearly ten years ago, one Edwin B. Foster was gran ted with tbe approval of tbe Secre tary of the Interior, a blanket lease covering 1.500,000 acres of land pre sumed to contain oil with the pro vision that Foster, or bis heirs or assigns pay to tbe Indians 10 per cent, of the gross receipts for the oil extracted. In time, Foster as signed his lease to tbe Indian Ter ritory Illuminating Oil Company and it subleased the land for van-! ous houses and approximately 5 per rent, of tbe gross receipts. Secre tary Hitchcock denounced tbe Fos ter lease as a scandal and declared that Foster and bis successors had done nothing in return fur their bonuses and royalties that tbe lease should be extended to protect tLe sub-lesses who bad invested their capital in good faith, and the Sena tor introduced legislation providing for such extention. Now Secretary Hitcbcocb has declared bis intention of extending tbe original lease on 680,000 acres “to protect tbe vested rights of the sub-lesses,” but Con gress is inclined to ask why it was 1 necessary to extend tbe original lease to accomplish toe end. Re presentative Stephens of Texas and • others ask why tbesub-lesaes could > not have been protected by making > directly with them renewals of the i leases they held from the assigns of t Foster, thus eliminating tbe Indian Territory Illumination Oil Co. and securing for toe Indians the full f rental value of their lands. Tbe House has passed a resolution ask ing some very pointed questions of Secretary Hitchcock and bis ex planation is swsited with interest. V Speaker Cannon has announced • that he will permit no concession to toe Senate on toe Statehood bill and the measure seems destined to fail, 1 despite tbe fact that a majority of both bouses of Congress would glad ly vote for tbe admission of oue State to be composed of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Friends of Oklahoma are humbly supplicating tbe all powerful Speaker for mercy but there seems to be little hope of his relenting. OBITUARY. In ud bat loving remembrance of onr darling eon, J.
