Does Not Think That Treaties Should Be Subjects of a Caucus. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, February For four hours to-day the Democratle Senators struggled In caucus over the question of how they should vote on the pending Santo Domingo treaty. After prolonged debate, which at all times was remarkably free from bitterness and personalities, a resolution was adopted binding every Democratic Senator to vote against the ratification of the treaty. As the Senators issued from the conference, tired and exhausted from having passed luncheon time by three hours.

It was triumphantly declared that the treaty was beaten. Ak a result of the caucus It appears that only one Democratic Senator, Patterson, of Colorado, Is certain to vote for the treaty. Patterson, as was expeoted, 1-fc the caucus when it became apparent that a rule was to ba passed binding the minority asainst the treaty. Four other Senators voted against the rule Daniel of Virginia, Foster of Louisiana. Mallory of Florida and Teller of Colorado.

Their action does not mean that they wilf vote for the treaty, howover. They were opposed to the rule because they believe that treaties should not be made subjects of a caucus agreement. They are all expected to vote with their party against ratification. Nino Democrats were not present. Of these six were out of the city, as follows: Oearin, Eerry, Clark of Montana, earmark, McLaurin and Stone.

Gorman was sick, while McEnery and Taliaferro wero in the city, but for some reason or other failed to attend. Patterson bolted. Four Democratic votes and the entire Republican strength are needed to secure the ratification of the treaty. Tho Republicans claim they will got Patterson, Clarke, of Arkansas, and McEnery, of Louisiana. Bailey Is laboring with Clarke and McEnery and hopes to retain them with the party.

He is threatening them with the extreme penalty for violating a caucus agreement. If they vote for the treaty they will be barred from further participation In Democratic aaucuBes and must look to the Republicans for their committee appointments. This amounts practically to being read out of the party, and Senator Bailey declares that this punishment will be enforced on all who break tho caucus rule. There Is no certainty that Clarke will vote with the Republicans, but small hope is held out that McEnery will be kept in line. It cannot be said that the prospects of the treaty have been Improved by to-day's action.

The outcomo is distinctly disappointing to the Republicans. The caucus proved the Inaccuracy of the reports that Senators Gorman and Foster were for the treaty along with Patterson, Clarke and McEnery. Great pressure from Republican sources will be brought to bear on Clarke. McEnery and Taliaferro, for it seems that their votes or the votes of three Democrats In addition to that of Patterson, must be secured before the treaty can be ratified. The spirit manifested In the caucus and voiced by several leading Senators In emphatic expressions after the caucus adjourned was that to-day'a action meant that the Democrats of the Senate would have united party action on matters determined by two-thirds of their number to be questions affecting party policy.

Those who do not abide by caucus decision will not be regarded as Democrats and the point will be raised against them should they appear In future caucuses of the party. Mr. Patterson declined to make any ex planation of his leaving the caucus, beyond the bare statement that he did not want to participate in the vote that was then about to be taken. When pressed to say whether he had departed because ba did not want to consider himself bound by the result of the vote, he refused to answer, and said that If ho had more to say ho would deelnre hlmBelf on the floor of the Senate. Me said that Iho proceedings had been amicable throughout.

It is supposed that all of the Republicans will vote for the treaty and that four Demo cratlc votes are necessary to secure Its rati fication. There are thirty-nine Senators there being one vacancy from Delaware, and probably one vote (Burton) will not be cast or paired. Therefore, fifty-nine votes are necessary for the ratification. The Repubil cans have fifty-five, without Burton, and four votes from the onoosltlon will give them the requisite two-thirds. Democratic leaders do not believe these four votes will be forth coming and express tbe hope that Senators who may be favorably disposed toward the treaty will feel bound by the caucus action to-day.

Nearly every Senator In attendance had something to say on the subject of making treaties questions of party policy. Several Senators declared that the Republicans al ready had made the Dominican treaty party question by uniting for Its support, and on thla ground the arguments were made that If the minority hoped to accomplish an thing as a partv It behooved them to emu late the Republicans and re-establish party discipline. Senator Bailey was one of the chief speakers voicing this sentiment. Senator Teller said that he wan opposed to the ratification of the treaty, but at the name time ho did 'Private will do before ho committed himself to vote it at all. Senators Culberson, Daniel, Dubois and Patterson spoke at length, the.

last named taking the stand that treaties should not be considered In tho caucus. AMERICAN'S SUGGESTION LIKED. Project to Link Russian Eivers by a Canal Considered by Government Commission, St. Petersburg, Fobruary 3 An American named Wendell Jackson has a project for linking the Duna and Dnieper rivers by a canal near Vitebsk and forming an internal waterway from tho Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. The plan is seriously thought of in some quarters and a commission made up of representatives of the ministries of commerce, finance and railroads was established to-day and authorized to examine and make a report on the matter though, owing to the financial situation, there is no prospect for Immediate further action being GRABBED RINGS AND RAN.

Exciting Chase and Capture of Man Who Tried to Get Away With Mrs. Hawkins' Diamonds. A man who said his name was Harry Ballman, and that he had Just arrived from Hartford, to look for work, was landed In tho West Forty-seventh street police station, Manhattan, last 'night after an exciting chase of two blocks from tho Jewelry store of Mrs. Agnes Hawkins, nt 727 Eighth avenue, where, It was alleged, he and two companions, who escaped, made an attempt to steal some diamond rings. Mrs.

Hawkins was attending to a customer, and a clerk named Hill was In tho rear of the store talking to a young woman clerk, when threo men entered tho store. One asked to see some diamond rings, while the other two engaged tho attention of tho woman clerk. Hill placed a tray of diamond rings on the counter. There were twenty-four on tho trny, valued at $4,000, Suddenly one of the men grubbed four of tho rings, valued at about $350, and Jumped for the door. Hill, who Is an athlete, leaped over the counter and followed tho man.

The Becond man In the store tried to impede Hill, but he was brushed aside. At tho corner of Forty-fifth street, half a block from the store, Ilill caught his man and grabbed two of the rings just as tho man freed himself and started to run In the direction of Ninth avenue. Starting after the man again, Hill caught up with him at Ninth avenue, and a struggle ensued. A chauffeur, named Nepple, sprang to help Hill, and the would-be robber was subdued. Another of the rings was found on him.

Tho fourth ring hnd been picked up at the door of the store, where the man had dropped It In his fliht, by Mrs. Hawkins. The man was locked up. The other two men escaped. RUNAWAY CAUSES PANIC.

Policeman Badly Hurt and Many Women Frightened in Manhattan. A team of runaway horses that dashed into Broadway, Manhattan, shortly after 8 o'clock last night, created a panic and confusion thut has seldom beeu witnessed in that crowded section of the city. In tho mnd rush of the people to get out oC the way of the frenzied horses, one policeman who risked his life to stop one of them was badly Injured and is in a precarious condition in New York Hospital, a car full of passengers was badly damaged and the passengers, especlnlly the women, were In a stato of hysterical insanity in their eagerness to get out of the car. Where the horses canto from the police have not yet learned. They dashed into Broadway at Thirty-seventh street.

They had torn along that street from Sixth avouue at a mad pace, only held together by the wreck of the harness, and as they reached Broadway they collided with a south bound surface car with a crash that caused the hundreds of of the sidewalks to turn away their heads In horror. One of the horses was felled by the Impact, but the other continued Its frenzied dash up Broadway. The windows in the front of the cur were all broken, and the passengers In their wild dash to reach the street were covered with flying glass. Several of the passengers wero cut slightly, no ono waB hurt seriously. In the meantime the other horse had plunged to the sidewalk, scattering the pedestrians right und left.

The women ran shrieking into the stores and the men leaped Into the street, everyone making a dear path for the frenzied horse. At Thirty-ninth street Policeman Irving sprang at tho maddened hnrse. He grasped the animal by the mane und tried to fHsten his other hand in the nostrils of the horse. Hanging by ono hand, the animal dragged tho plucky officer half a block and then flung him with a crash to the sidewalk JUKt as tho horBe went head on Into a lumppost. This brought the animal to a stundstlll and another policeman seized it.

An ambulance call was sent In and Dr. Goeble, of the New York Hospitul. responded. He found that Irving hnd a fractured right shoulder, a badly cut face and that he was severely bruised all over. He w-as taken to the hospital.

No ono else was hurt, although a score of women had narrow escapes. TOO LATE. "Say!" demanded tho ugly Individual, suddenly appearing from a dark alley, "what lime l8 it?"

Dr. Dixon sent the threatening missive to Captain Ward, who detailed several detectives to hunt for the writer. The Post Office authorities were also notified. Dr.

Dixon declared last night that, despite the threatening letter, he would attend Epiphany Baptist Church at 3:30 o'clock to-day, and reply to Professor Kelley Miller. Dr. Dixon told Captain Ward ho would go armed, as he feared the negroes who hnvo been wrought up over the production of "The Clansman" might attempt to kill 'Jim. Captain Ward advised him to go to Police Headquarters and get a permit to carry a revolver.

S2d S. Y. GREENE AND GAYNOR TRIAL Witness Sterley Condemns the Methods Followed by Captain Carter. Savannah, Februair 3 But one witness occupied the stand during to-day's session of the Federal Court in the case against Greene and Gaynor. This was J.

W. O. Sterley. who was chief clerk under Captain Can-tar and under the latter's Immediate predecessor and under succeeding heads of the Bavaunah district. Mr.

Sterley was questioned closely by both the district attorney and counsel for the accused. He waB unshaken In his attitude of condemnation of methods that were followed by Caplatn Carter in the administration of his office as director of engineering work. The evidence related alraoBt exclusively to the advertisement for proposals for the big contract of 1S for the Savannah harbor, the government's contention being that Carter, for the benefit of hlmBelf and Greene and Gaynor, adopted methods that tended to th'j elimination of all other contractors and the consequent assuring of the big terprlse to Greene and Gaynor.

or WROUGHT UP OVER "CLANSMAN" Author Turns the Letter Over to the Police, and Will Go Armed to Church To-day. The Rev. Dr. Thomas Dixon, author of "The Clansman," appealed to Captain Denis Ward of the West Thirty-seventh street police station, Manhattan, for proteotlon last night, after he received an anonymous communication, in whicn the writer declared the author would be lynched by the negroeB of this city if he didn't close the production of "Tha Clansman," now playing at the Liberty Theater. The letter, which was well written, was as follows: NEW YORK, FEBRUARY.

1906 not clenrly realize It. Tbe so-called "uiilou label" Is tho seal placed upon goods made In shops dominated by tho labor trust und money is widely used by the trust to udvcrtlfe this label and induce the public to refuse goods made by Independent men. A manufacturer may have a trade-mark or label, and the labor trust bus a right to its "union label" but many people refuse to buy articles bearing that label, having become disgusted with the Impudent Insults regarding the prodncts of other tirst-clnss workmen. Thousands of the finest artisans In America refuse to bend tho knee to the labor trust leaders and many of the best grades of hats, shoes, clothing, food, nre not made by uicmbers of this trust and the proprietors will not permit the "union label" to appear on tbeir goods. When the "bread strike" was on In New York the strikers described the foul conditions of some of the cellar linke shops, "with Impure ulr nnd consumptive workmen who spat upon the floor, had no lit place to wash, etc." But the "union label" was pasted to those loaves of bread, a deadly rebuke to the Impudence of a trust that would vilify tbe high grade, clean and honest products of Independent American citizens who value their own personal liberty enough to refuse allegiance to any trust, either of labor or capital.

The natural independence of nny citizen rebels at the oft-repeated announcements that only articles bearing the "union label" are worthy of purchase, with the covert sneer that all persons not members of the labor trust remove themselves from the face of the earth as unfit inhabitants. A labor trust Is organized with the same inirpose as a beef trust, to abstract extra money from the common people. Tho trust goiuii nothing if. the union carpeuter MUNROE MUNROE SUED. One Partner in the Eirm Arrested and Bailed Story of a Visit to the Mines.

George II. Munroe, who was prior to December 7, 1904, a member of the stock broking firm of Monroe Munroe, of 25 Broad street, Manhattan, his Alexander A. Munroe, being the other partner in the business, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Terry yesterday on an order isBued by Supreme Court Justice Glldersleeve, in an action brought agalnBt both brothers to recover a sum of $25,000, by former United States Senator Warner Miller, of Herkimer. Ex-Senator Miller charges the defendants with obtaining $25,000 from him by fraud and deceit, on account of false representations made by them with reference to the condition of the Montreal and Boston Mining and Smelting Company, Limited. Munroe gave a surety company's bond In the sum of $15,000, und was not taken to Ludlow Street Jail.

Senator Miller, in his complaint, drawn by Guggenheimor, Untermyer Marshall, sets forth that tho defendants represent ed to him that the mining company owned a Binelter and certain valuable mining claims and properties in British Columbia, and that it had $150,000 of stock In its treasury. He asserts that both defendants had devised a scheme and carried It into effect, by which they bought and sold large quantities of stock in tho market, and thus unduly in flated and raised the price of the stock. Senator Miller says he became acquainted with the defendants In the fall of 1904, and that. In October, of that year, George 11. Mimroe uuKucBted to and advised him that ho should accompany a party upon a trip lo be male by them to Greenwood and Boundary Falls, British Columbia, to examine tho smelter and the mining properties which he said belonged to the Montreal and Bos ton Consolidated Mining ana smeiung voiu iwnv t.lmted.

"Upon my arrival there," Senator Miller says, "we were met by the defendant Alexander A. Munroe, who proceeded to show us the smelter and mining properties known i tho "Bmnklvn "Stomwlnder." "Raw- hldo," "Idaho," "Sunset," O. and "Crown Sliver" mines. When he pointed them out he referred to the value and characteristics of the ores and accompanied hnck on the return trip. In Novem her, 1904, I saw advertisements in the "New York Times." headed "Copper (Situation, ihlch advised everyone to purchase stock Ih the Montreal and Boston Company, say log that It owned a Bmeltlng plant with a capacity of 1,200 tons a day, and that It waB soon to be enlarged.

I consequently received a prospectus sotting forth that SC.COO.OOO of stock had been Issued to ac quire the various properties owned by the company, and to furnish $150,000 cash for the company treasury. "On December 6. 1904, I had an inter view with George H. Monroe, when he of fered to sell me 10,000 shares of stock at $2.50 a share, nnd told me the comiany owned these properties, and had the ilnu, 000 in Its treasury. On those statemeut I auroed to purchase tho 10,000 shares of stock at this price, and a few days af terward received and paid for them." Senator Miller says the company bus ponded payment on December 7, 1904, and soon afterward went into bankruptcy, when the slock fell to less than $1 a share.

Ha snys he has made an examination within the last few months of Ihe properties previously owned by tho Montreal and Bos ton Company, and that, (lad the defendant's representations been true, his 10,000 shares of. stock would have been worth at least $10,000, but that as the company did not own them his stock was not worth $8,000, and he sues for the balance. He claimed that Munroe is not a citizen of the United States, and has been absent from this country In South America and elsewhere, and that he therefore asked that substantial ball be required for him.
