Summers Speech on the san Domingo
Treaty.

No legislative business was done IN the
Senate to-day, and none attempted. As
soon as Yesterdays Journal was read, Sen
ator Sumner moved to go into executive
session. in accordance with the understand
| inr Yesterday. AS soon as the galleries
we're cleared and the doors closed, Mr.
Sumner moved to take up the SIN Domingo
treaty, and proceeded to argue against its
ratification by the Senate.
| His speech ia described as a very able
and exhaustive one, covering oil the points
likely to arise in connection with the sub
iect. He spoke the entire afternoon, and
| when he had finished the Senate adjourned.
! He ehowcd that the expense OF our Govern
ment would be enormous before all the obll-
cations which the Government would as
sumo would be discharged, aud insisted that
| if we ratified this treaty we should have to
secure all the islands, which would entail
untold expense. He also urgned against
the necessity of San Domingo, and sald 1t
was wholly useless to the United States.
Every senator remained in his seat and
listened with marked attention during
the entire four hours. Many OF
! tho senators pronounce Mr.. Summers
speech rs one of the most powerful ever
made in the Senate, and its effect will, it IL
asserted, more than anything else tend to
defeat the project. Senator Morton has the
floor when The subject comes up again, and
is said to be rs we'll prepared for advoca,
ting the ratification of the treaty with erect
as Senator Sumner was against it. The
Democrats will oppose the treaty in body
1t is conceded that the project will secure
a majority, but will lack the swo-thirds vot,
required to ratify it. 1t was understood
that but one speech was to be made on eacl
side-namely, by Sumner and Morton-bu'
