to enforce the provisions Of the four,
teenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States and for other pur-
poses.
Mr.. Dawes said the debate had been
progressing for nearly week. His OBJ
ject in rising was to ask the gentleman
having charge of the bill whether he
could not indicate the time when the
discussion should close, 80 that the
House could proceed to the details OF
the bill.
After long conversation the result
was an agreement that the general de-
bate shall continue to-day and to-mor-
row, with evening sessions, and that
the House will meet tomorrow at eleven
o'clock, and that on Wednesday morn
ing the House will consider the bill un-
der the ten minutes rule, and that
amendments be decided as in commit
tee of Whole.
There was debate by Messrs. Shanks,
of Indiana, Buckly, Of Alabama, Rob
erts, of New York, Biggs and others.
The House at $50 took recess until
7:3O.
EVENING SESSION.
Messrs. Duke, Of Virginia, and Win
chester, of Kentucky, made speeches
against the bill.
Mr.. Mckee, of Mississippi, addressed
he House in support OF the bill.

WASHINGTON.
The President and San Domingo,

New YORK, April 5.-The Times
has special Washington dispatch in
regard to the President and the San
Domingo report, which was telegraphed
last night to Governor Hawley. There
is no certainty, apparently, as to the
time when the report will be sent, or
even handed to the President. There
have been so many 5mendmenH that
the whole complexion of Wade's orig
inal report is changed now. There is
considerable doubt as to the course
which the report will pursue, and from
various,hints. it does not seem improbable
that there may be more than one. Mr..
Howe is still the guest Of Mr.. Sumner,
while Wade remains at the house OF
Mr.. Chandler, where he has been for
several days. Mr.. White has an apart
ment at one of the hotels.
EIectioneering Dodge-.TOO Late.
HARTFORD, Conn, April 2.-The fol-
lowing dispatch was received here by ex-
Governor Hawley, from Washington;
The President will accompany the trans
mission of the San Domingo Commits
sionrs' report to Congress next week
with message in which he says in sub
stance, that had the subject received
fair treatment when the last treaty was
rejected, he would not have asked its
further consideration, but believing it
had not been fairly presented to the
country, and the question having be-
come complicated with charges and in
situations foreign to its merits, be de-
sired full investigation at the hands Of
Congress, which has been had, with re-
suits vindicating the correctness Of his
public policy and disavowing the
charges of improper action in the in
vestigations. He does not ask for
action now, but transmits the report for
the information of Congress and the
country, still adhering to his opinion OF

will indicate that desire by advising q

The Joint High Commission.
The Tribune's Washington CORE
spondence telegraphs: 1t is probable
that the work of the Joint High Com
mission will terminate about the last O.
the present month, and says that not
withstanding the published accounts to
the contrary there is a widespread inn
preston that this Commission is charged
with the settlement Of the fishery ques-
ton, Alabama claims and other points
of difference between the two govern
ments, and that the result of the Com
missions s labor will be treaty which,
on the part of England, will be ope-
rative the day it is signed, as Its repre-
sentatives have plenary power; but on
the part of the United States the Senate
will have to confirm the treaty. 1t Is
thought the treaty will contain clause
for disappointment Of a Joint Commits,
sion to ad djudicate the Alabama CLAIMS
under conditions to be decided 6y the
present Commission, and that the pres
ent body will name the persons to have
the settlement of cases. The term OF
the last named officers will be very long,
as it will require years to settle them
on any basis which can be established.
As it seems probable that the Senate
will adjourn before the last Of this
month, the President will probably call
an extra session in order to consider the
treaty before next December, and ena'
bic the settlement to be begun as soon
as possible.
