Summer and the Connections EIee-
LiOn.
The Times Washington correspondent
selegraphs that after it was determined
that Summers speech was to be made Sen
ator buckingham is said to have gone to
him and entreated him to include in it a
paragraph disclainiDg any purpose or
feeling of hostility toward the Republi-
can party, so bis speech could not be used
against the success of the party in the
election in Connecticut next Monday.
Senator Buckingham foresaw that unless
Sumner drew in his speech a sharp line
between the party and the administration
the effect of his fierce arraignment would
be deeply felt in Connecticut Sumner
said he would take it into consideration
and having done so next day he declined
absolutely to comply with the request and
no such disclaimer appears in his speech.
Speculation on the Poor Immigrant.
The Worlds Washington correspondent
says the fact is not generally known that
a desperate attempt was made at the last
session of Congress to take the control of
immigrants now possessed by the State
of New York and transfer it TO the gen.
eral government by making the grand
depot on Governors Island instead Of at
Castle Garden. A bill for this purpose
was pending in the House Commerce
Committee where it was carefully
watched, persistently opposed and finally
defeated. A large interest, both political
and financial, worked very hard TO get
control of the system through an act of
Congress, and hoped to, succeed, 30 they
could forward emigrants over certain
lines of railroads to the South and West.

Ben wade's Report.
The San Domingo Commissioner re-
port which is nearly finished, will be SUBJ
mitted to the President to-day, and it is
understood will be sent to Congress on
Thursday. The Commissioners, or at
least two of them, contemplated spending
a couple of weeks here, in celebrating
their report, but the report prepared by
Wade gives all the facts as called for by
the resolution of Congress under which |
the Commission was appointed.
Pending the presentation of their re-
port the members of the Commission are
disposed to be very reticent upon the |
subject of annexation. Other members
of the Commission are not SO pronounced |
in their opinions.
One of the Commissioners SAID tonight |
that if the country expected the report of |
the Commissioners to be an argument in |
favor of annexation, it would be disap- |
pointed. Less attention is paid to that |
subject in the report than to any other |
connected with the business of the Com |
mission.
