Santo Domingo. March 23. — The Hews that the United States senate has postponed action 011 the Santo Domingo treaty makes the situation here acute, and an internal uprising is feared. The cry Is raised by enemies of the movement that President Morales has been discredited in the United States. The case of Prank E. Shiffer, surviving executor of fhe estate of J. B. Shiffer, deceased, now to the use of Gertrude I. Heo'ey, against J. H. Mosier and others, was called for trial before Judge Halsey, in court room No. 2 this morning. St. Petersburg. March 23.—It is definitely known that peace proposals have occupied to n great extent the attention of the conferences which have been held in Tsarskoe-Selo since last Friday. Several grand dukes, supported by General Saeharoflf, the minister of war. and Admiral Avellan, the head of the admiralty, are stroiigly opposed to any suggestion of peace in the present circumstances, but all the other ministers of the empire, backed by M. Witte, are solidly in favor of action that will bring the war to an end. Bremen, March 23.—At a banquet In the town hall last night, given in honor of the unveiling of a monument of Emperor Frederick, Burgomaster Pauil made a speech In which be referred to the first German fleet having been sold under the auctioneer's hammer and said that thC» model of the admiral's ship of that fleet was in the Bremen town hall. THE CITY COUNCILS. Last Regular Meeting of Common The plaintiff claims the sum of $21.- 428 with interest since 1894, the claim being based upon an agreement entered Into on February 13, 18!)4, between J. B. Shiffer. deceased, and J. H. Mosier, George Smith, now deceased. Louis Keibei, H. T. Bowkley, J. L. Polen and Paul Bohan, now deceased. Under this agreement, Shiffer was to purchase certain bonds of the Penna., Lehigh and Eastern R. R. Co., to the amount of $25,000, the purchase to bo for the Joint and mutual benefit of all the parties to the agreement, and the money for the purchase being advanced by Shiffer. the others agreeing that Shiffer should hold the bonds until each party to the agreement should pay their  tive shares of the purchase iCri- .. Branch Tonight—Lines Being Drawn for Organizntioii. Morales says lie Is prepared to put down any revolution, but that a more serious mutter In his mind is foreign complications growing out of Belgium's demand. Belgium wants customs receipts to the extent of $2.rD,833 a month, according to an agreement on which no payment has been made for three years. The regular meellng of common council scheduled for tonight will be the last regular counoilmanic meeting before the organization of the new counfcils the fl.'st Monday In April. If a meeting is held tonight an effort will be made to clean the slate of the year's work so that no special sessions will bo necessary. As next Thursday will be the fifth of the month no meeting will be held. Orgarlzatlon is only a trllle more than a week away but as yet has caused only the slightest riffle of excitement in political circ'es. It Is almost a foregone conclusion that John Kohoe will be elected chairman ot select counciland that J. T. McXevln will succeed himself as -chnirman of the common branch. Major John T. Flannery will continue In the; office "bf city clerk, there being no' visible opposition to him at the present day. The one contest will b,e for election to the board of revision of t:ixes and appeals, five members to be chosen, with more than double that number of applicants.The gnosis wore entertained by Mr. James Stokes, who has boon the leader in this movement, whose Rifts, with those of friends, made the building possible. Emperor 'William replied to the burgomaster's speech, saying that when he was a youth he stood by that model and felt deeply enraged at the disgrace done.'je German flag. That perhaps showed him how to comprehend the tasks of the tier man empire, lie had then sworn an oath of fidelity to the flag and that when he became the head of the government he would "do everything possible to let bayonets and cannon rest, but to keep the bayonets sharp and the cannon ready so that envy and greed from without would not disturb us in tending our garden or in building our beautiful house. 1 vowed." the emperor continued, "never to strike for world mastery. The world empire that 1 then dreamed of was to create for the German empire on all sides the most absolute confidence as a quiet, honest and peaceable neighbor. I have vowed that if ever the time conies when history shall speak of a German world power or a HoheiUsnllern world power this should not be based upon conquest, but come about through a mutual striving of nations after common purposes." It is planned by District Attorney Morrison to examine at least fifteen witnesses each dity until the subject is thoroughly covered. The government has provided the district attorney's office, it is reported, with fifteen secret service meij, so that each witness can lie guarded after leaving the Jury room until lie reaches his hotel. There is high authority for the statement that they have won Emperor Nicholas to their side, and it would neDt be surprising to learn that an acftial specific proposal may be framed Within a few days for discussion in Furls between M. Delcasse. the French foreign minister, and Dr. Montono. the Japanese representative In France. A duplicate copy of this peace suggestion will be sent to M. Harmand, the French minister in Japan, who can discuss it with Count Katsura. the Japanese premier, in Tokyo. Already Ave nationalities are represented in the membership of this association—French. Russian, Belgian, Swiss and Italian. It will be a popular meeting place for young men who have not acquired the American language and customs and are not ready to enter other branches in the city. The dormitories, gymnasium, restaurant, social rooms and auditorium are splendidly equipped. Educational classes in English and practical branches will be conducted. The value of the plant exceeds $100,000. This association is one of thirty-three in New York city. Port Seizure Means Ruin, This demand is construed as a result of the failure of the treaty with the United States, and Morales expects like demands from other foreign powers, which he will be helpless to resist. He says he wants to pay all debts, but sees ruin if every port goes into the hands of a different foreign power, leaving no revenue for the government. POLYGAMY ALLEGED. Mormon Excommunication Process Re- Subsequently the bonds were excht..ig ed for 1,000 shares of the Delav sults In Grave Countercharges. Salt Lake City. March 23.—Charles A. Smnrthwaite, who Is in process of excommunication from the Mormon church because of his alleged apostaey in criticising the acts of President Joseph Knaitli, has filed countercharges against II. H. Ooddnrd, the accuser. The countercharges are tiled with the bishop of Smurthtvaitc's ward in Og- and Anthracite R R. Co., of the , value of $r»0 eaeh. The plaintiff now claims that sh? has tendered to each of the signers of the original agreement their respective portions of this stock, but they have refused to accept the same. On'y two witnesses had been heard up to 2 o'clock this afternoon# nearly the whole morning session having bc?n consumed by the* plaintiffs' attorneys in endeavoring to prove the proper execution of the original agreement which the defendants allege Is irregniar and not binding upon them. M. Witte and his fellow ministers have convinced the czar that Japan will not make the first move nor will she at any time disclose Iter position until overtures are made authoritatively in the Russian emperor's name There is reason to say that Japan's attitude in this respect has been made known to the emperor's council through friendly channels. There is 110 doubt whatever that the peace party has grown in the palace, and the best informed foreign officials In St. Fetersburg are confident that, at the very least. Japan in a short time will be sounded semiofficially to learn her general position in respect of peace. "It Is entirely possible," he said, "that"the United States may have to send an ultimatum here on account of the Dominican government being unable though not unwilling to meet its obligations. It is utterly impossible for Ihe government to pay the sums due foreign nations unless the United States can procure from foreign powers a postponement of their demands. I have no physical or moral force to reJ sist them. With the custom houses in Ihe control of the United States the resources of the island will develop speedily, all demands will be paid and the country will be educated to peace and permanent prosperity" HOOKER INVESTIGATION.

Every German battleship is a new guarantee for the peace of the world, and the less ready will our foes be to attack us and the more valuable will we become as an ally. Warships Peacemakers, This afternoon, soon after court reassembled. the attorneys for the plaintiff made a motion for a voluntary non-suit, and the Tills is the first time a direct charge of violation of ecclesiastical and state laws in the matter of polygamy has ever been preferred by a member of the church.

The general increase of appropriations this year over 1904 results largely from an increase in the educational department of over $400,000: excise department, $211,000; insane department, $355,000; superintendent of elections, $55,000; public institutions, $18,800; state engineer and surveyor, $30,000.
