Meantime Hay-tien aoldiers are hurrying to the Dominican frontier. The republic is much wrought up, feeling that Hayti will be compelled to fight out its boundary dispute with Santo Domfngo. It is reported here that the Dominicans are much vexed at the attitude of the Haytlen government and that the Dominican generals on the retired list have received notice to present themselves for military duty. The French and German ministers re still working energetically with the possibility of bringing about a peaceful solution of the difficulty. The Haytlen government, it is said, is, disposed to submit the dispute to asiJitrationj Washington.

Jan. 21. The good offices of the I'nited States government are being sought by President Simon of Hayti, to prevent war between the republic and Santo Domingo, according to a telegram from Henry W. Furniss. American minister Hayti.

Hayti has offered to submit the territorial questlo'n to arbitration immediately, adds Mr. Furniss, provided both governments withdraw their troops from the frontier and that Santo Domingo suspend all construction work on the highway which Is being 'built over the territory in dispute and which is the Immediate cause of the trouble. The situation is very grave, says Mr. Furniss' telegram to the state department. H.

Robert E. Peary came within 1.6 miles of the North Pole near enough to establish his claim of having been at the exact spot, is the decision of tile house committee on naval affairs, which has been considering the bill to retire Capt. Peary with the rank of rear admiral. The basis of the committee's findings Is the chart prepared by Hugh C. Mitchell and C.

It. Duvall of the I'nited States ''-oast and geodtic survey, and based 'on Peary's observations. This chart shows that Peary went to Uhe left on nearing the pole, due to an error in his instruments. Later he crossed toward the pole, his nearest point being 1.6 miles A minority report submitted by Representative Roberta of Massachusetts, does not question Capt. Peary's performance, but arraigns the National Geographic society's committee, which he claims announced its findings after only a cursory examination of Peary's proofs.

"Had such a chart been worked out," said Mr. Roberts, "and given to the world by the committe of the Geographical Society, the controversy that has raged throughout the world would un-dobutedly have ended then and there." The majority report- recommended the passage of the Hale-Dates bill, giving Peary the thanks of congress and creating him a rear admiral retired on the list. A fight is. oertln to develop In the house over the proposed legislation. Representative Macon of Arkansas, has indicated that he wiil oppose its passage on the floor.

S. Mower of the New.M'rr.v delegation introduced In the house of representatives Saturday a oill intended to meet the surest. ons advanced by Governor Bleat'e in his initial mtbsage of Friday, relating to notaries public. The governor said he was issuing a proclamation voiding on Feb. 10 the conimissiono of every notary in the State.

He urged that before that time the general assembly pass an act prescribing tile term and outlining the qualifications fur that Jlr. Mower's bill would limit the term to tive years, require that each notary declare upon every paper he atests the aate of expirat of his commission and oblige him to have himself enroued upon a register kept by the clerk of court of his county for the purpose.

Mr. Carey of Oconee opposed the bill. He said it would impose on Clemson work that could be uone satisfactorily by the present force of analysis and would cause endless duplications of analysis of the same brands. Messrs. Char.es, Belsor and Watson also opposed the bill, Mr.

Watson saying Clemson would be overwhelmed with work and no proportionate good be done. The measure was warmly championed by Messrs. Ashley, Hamilton. Williams and Wells, the last-named saying it would prevent collusion between manufacturers and tiie chemists. Mr.

Afhle.v said the interests of the manufacturers would not be harmed; they were protected by existing requirements, pot repealed by this bill, calling for the drawing of samples in a uniform manner, in the presence of the dealer or his agent and of two disinterested witnesses. Those vrho favored the bill were not satisfied with the explanations offered by its opponents as to why the chemists needed have before them the name of the maker and the maker's claims as to fertilizing content before undertaking to analyje a sample. Mr. v'ary said this not only prevented needless duplication ot analyses, but simplified the work ot the chemists. If the anaivst he had only two ingredients lo look for, Cary said, he ston when he had determined the content of these ingredients and would not continue quantitative analysis to lini things the farmer did not care knoA' about.

Tile house also passed Mr. KurU I', t'mith's bill to require that where the ammonia content of an artificial fertiliser is claimed to be derived from both mineral and organic sources, the sack label shall indicate the relative proportions what percentage of the ammonia is derived from mineral sources and what from organic sources. Mr. Horlbeck of the Charleston delegation vainly sought to have the bill comitted, He said that the fertilizer interests had only today learned what was the purpose of the measure and they wished earnestly to be heard upon it before the measure should be voted on. Mr.

mith said there was no mysterv about the bill and it could do no honest manufacturer any haim; on the other hand it was modi to the fanner's Interest that he should know ilw souree of the ammonia in his fertiliser, beeause ammonia from organic sources is available as plant food much more quickl.v than ammonia from mineral sourcts, and there Is a large difference in the cost.

21. The funeral of Paul Morton, late president of the Equitable Life Assurance society, who died under such tragic circum. stances, will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon at St. Thomas Episcopal church In Fifth avenue. Prior to this public service there will be a brief private service at the Morton residence.

Comment concerning the successor of Mr. Morton as head of the Equitable company continues to be active, but those chiefly interested show on disposition to hasten a conclusion it this time. Among the names most mentioned are those of YV. A. Day, vice president of the company; Charles D.

Norton, who is about to surrender his position as secretary to President George W. Perkins and Gage E. Tarhell. The last named retired from the company after several years' service as vice president and as organiser of the agency force. Mr.

It Is said that Magistrate Bell, who lives some distance from the shooting, has one negro under arrest on suspicion. (It)' Joe Sparks.) News Bureau, Columbia, Jan.

21. Woe be unto those who carelessly run automobile. It the bill that today passed the senate likewise goes through the house. As at first introduced by Senator Carlisle, of Spartanburg, the bill pro. Viotd: "When a motor vehicle ia operated In violation of lan, or negligently and carelessly, und when a person receives personal injury thereby, or when a buggy or wagon or other property is damaged thereby, the damages done to such person or liruperty shall be and constitute a lien next in priority to the lien (or Slate and county taxes upon such motor vehicle, recoverable in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the person sustaining such damages shall have a right to attach said motor vehicle in the manner provided by law, for attachment in this State." Todayi upon motion of the Senator from Oconee, the bill was so amended that it an automobile is taken from under lock and key the owner vhall not be liable for any injury under this act.

The discussion on the bill assumed a wide range and It was evidently the opiniun of nearly all the senators that reckless driving of automobiles is a menace and that something should be done to halt it. The ease from Charleston where a negro got a doctor's machine a'nd caused injury was cited as an example of the need of the amendment adopted, In passage of the bill the vote stood: For the bill 17; against it, 6. Debate on the merger resolution was not taken up today. It will be considered Monday.

A number of local measures passed today and other bills were passed over in the consideration of the calendar. In the senate today the following hill was introduced by Senator Laney: "A bill to empower the railroad commission with authority to require' all railroads operating In South Carolina to equip each and every coach with sanitary water coolers and drinking cups attached to same." The bill provides: Section 1.

Few people realize the importance to the South of tho securing of the National Corn Exposition for Columbia. No gathering, no matter of what nature, could scarcely eo.ua! it in 'importance and the chamber of commerce and other leiding men to realize this fact.

President Fin-ley of the Southern Railway has endorsed the movement and the co-operation of railway in the South is obtained from those who have not taken special pains to give the section justice. Northwestern farmers think it is too hot down here, others that nothing but cotton ma be grown, and many people from other sections thing the warm-hearted Southerner cruel. It is true that Collier's Weekly and one or two othtr publications have been doing good missionary work, but it takes time to convert pagans. The National Corn Expostion would bring thousands of farmers here who would see for themselves what the Smith's s'ill can do, and as a result man.vl thousands of acres of useless land would soon be in cultivation. This expoition if not merely a boost lor Columbia, but the entire South would henclit.

This bill provides that such territory proposing to form a new county or annx to another county should bear the expenses. The cost sometimes is several thousand dollars and not many new county or annexation advocates are willing to be taxed for a thing that they cannot foresee how it will terminate. There is an unusual demand in this Stats lor new counties, and the present bill if passed, would certainly place the hobbles on ambitious communities.

Partiouar attention was devoted by Mr. Wickersham to the Cunningham claims, which figured so conspicuously in the Balllnger-Pinchot controversy.

He took the position that If (he courts decide that the Cunning ham claimants were entitled to the coal claims filed upon lry them and the courts decided likewise in the casVs of about 200 other claims, the coaK lands involved should be released to the claimants, t'nder such a situation," said the attorney general, there would he no need for the passage of such a bill.
