tive session the St. Domingo treaty. Mr.. Morrill,
once more took the floor and made q second attempt
to conclude his remarks Of yesterday. Harlan next
spoke In favor OF the treaty. Sumner took turn
against It. A rambling discussion was kept up for
some time. but the Senate in humor TO listen
to any more CAB. 80 that vote was finally reached
with the following result

The absent or not voting are accounted for as fol-
lows:-Bayard paired with Anthony; Carpenter and
Yates paired with Gilbert ana Pomeroy; Buckng-
ham paired with Ames, and Howe ahd Kellogg paired
with the two Texas Senators. Absent, Trumbull,
Norton and Lewis. Sherman in his seat, but did not
vote. Taxing the number Of votes recorded and add
to that the number paired and we lnd the strength
of the treaty. Among those known are thirty.
six in favor TO thirty-two opposed. OF the
four absent two were in favor Of the treaty
ard two doubtful. Sherman completely lodged
the issue. Among those who voted in
the negative Cragin, Scott and Pool expressed
themselves very decidedly in favor OF the treaty and
that they would so vote. 1t was, therefore, with
considerable surprise that their action was learned.
Ross volunteered to vote for the treaty, but at the
last moment got on the wrong slde the same as he
did In the impeachment case An efrort win be made
to put the joint resolution through before Congress
adjourns; but should this not be done the proposed
annexation will not be abandoned. IL is understood
that an extension of time can be secured and that
the question will be taken up again next session,
should 1t fail In this.
The amendments made to the treaty In executive
session to-day were suggested by the President in
May last to obviate objections to the treaty orgi
nally worded These were:-First, to specify that
the obligations Of this government shall exceed
the ST. 1000 stipulated III the treaty; second to
determine the manner Of appointing agents to re-
ceive and disburse the same; third, to determine
the class of creditors who shall take precedence in
the settlement OF their claims, and finally TO insert
such amendments as may suggest themselves to the
minds of Senator's to carry out In good faith the
conditions OF the treaty submitted to the Senate
in January last according to Its spirit
and intent. The result OF the rejection
of the treaty was soon known In all parts OF the
Capitol, and the President himself informally be-
came acquainted with IL in the OF the after.
noon 1t is said the rejection Of the treaty does not
dispose OF the protocol for the lease Of the bay of
Samana, although II the treaty had been ratified
the Samana question would have been absorbed by
