WASHINGTON Feb. % 1916.
Extensive INQUIRIES give me more hope of the
defeat of Annexation at this Session. now think
,ba, the House Resolutions cannot PASS the Senate
unamended, if Mr. Pearce Is here, and that any
attempt 10 improve their chance by amending will
probab!y result unfortunately orthe expermeniers.
do not see how the proposition IS 10 be shaped so
that Benton, Bagby and Foster will all vote Tor 1t
The vote is not likely 10 be taken for some Gays
and hardly think / shall await 1t.
The Oregon bill of the House cannot pass the
Senate withou; material amendment PROBABLY
substitute for the whole bill Will be moved aho
carried, depriving the measure OF It's mos' ms
chievcus features Sill, nothing can be done
which is 90 wise and so well as to refrain from 60
ing any thing.
I understand that the British Government has
evinced the most anxious desire to settle peacefully
the boundary OF our respective territories west OF
the Rocky Mountains The frst proposal from
that SIDE is compromise line running due West on
the parallel OF 40 deg. from the ROCKY Noun
tans TO the nearest branch Of the Columbia, thence
down the middle o! the stream to the ocean
This being rejected, the British Ministry OTTER to
submit the whole matter 10 the arbitration OF any
disintercsted European power, 10 be chose" ard
named bv the United States. 1t does seem TO me
that this last offer ought to be accepted by u.s. We
talk Of our horror of war, our aversion to human
slaughter. &c bur never think of cylnclns p!acii-
cally our devotion to the principles Of Peace II
is easy enough 10 be peaceabe II nobody crosses
our path. A frank and promp; acceptance Of this
proposal to arbitrate would more truly rebound TO
our National Honor than dozen bloody VIC
tories
The prospect of POSTAGE REfoEM bnshtens
have Some hope that it may be reached in The
House tomorrow, though there will be struggle
for precedence between the Harbor bull and the
Military Service bill which may put II back 1T
tie But come up II will very soon, and the longer
it is DELAYED the more palpabc will be the truth
that the choice lies between the Senate bill and
nothing. Just give the Reform chance, and one
afternoon will suffice TO substitute the Senate bill
for ,ha, of the House. and push tito third read
ing at least There are al least fifty Members re-
solved that il shall be taken up Tomorrow
Senator Dckinson's Speech on Texas yesterday
was the wretchedest compound of low Jokes and
lower craftsmanship ever put forth In the august
body of which ii is his misfortune, as well as that
of our State, that he is member. The public
sympathise with Mr. Dix, who has done nothing TO
deserve the discredt reflected upon him.
We have had rain here this morning. The
weather is deporably fine for February. IL. C.

THE SACRED Music SocIETY.-The Oratorio Of
''The Messiah was, we believe, never so well
performed in this City. as by this Society on Mon
day evening. Indeed every preparation had been
made 10 ensure performance OF the first excel
lence in all respects. The chorus consisted Of
about tiro hundred and fty voices and the instru-
mental department OF about forty members. In ad-
dion ie this, the solo parts were contidedto Mad
anne Pico, Miss Nor,hal, and Messrs. Jones,
B.oush and Never The effect OF such powerful
chorus, aided by the Instrumentation, was sublime.
We have not space for crl,iqus on the perform
ance, but we must say tha! it will long be remcm-
bered BY those who heard IT, era In the hsto-
nv of the Sacred Music Society. Madame
PIco surprised all by the purity OF her pro-
nunciaiion OF the English words Of her part.
Her soprano was a powerful auxiliary 10 the
pleasure of the evening. Miss Northali pleased
us more than on any previous occasion. She gave
her music with much feeling, expression and good
taste She is most promising girl, but she must
omit in future TO bea. time with her finger while
singing MessrS Jones and Broush sang their nu-
sic respectfully, but there ere hall dozen members
of the Society who could have done as well. Mr..
Meyer has voice as flexible as a puInp-handle and
as musical as tsi-ho,n. His Opera practice has
net improved ii.

the Sd of February, fire broke out on the Bay of
Ponce in house occupied by Mr Felix Puylll )
the house being old and lofty, the flames soon
caught high store occupied by Messrs. Roca, Lact
& CO., and raging with violence, soon extended TO
the adjoining dwelling and stores. All was confu-
sion, and in few hours the principal stores, dwell
ings and cooperages were a heap of ruins. The
wind being strong and varying during the fire, blew
it in all directions. Many buildings took fire from
the sparks The want of good fire engine was
severely felt So severe was the fire End so qSick
did it rage, that OF SIX lighters tha, were hauled up
on the beach, five were destroyed. 1t will be
