No fFoDe for the ssnt0 Domingo An.
@ nexatfDn Measure.

ys4r rsy telegraph to the Tribune.1
~ AaHYparoy. March 81 1T Is now agreed,
on an hands. that there is no longer any
hone for the success Of the Santo domingo
annexation project. Its friends abandon
al some time Since the idea of brtnaipg
annexation about by the passage OF o joint
resolution. following the precedent made
In the case of the admission OF Texas.
Tbev found that the Democrats would vote
in q body against the proposition In any
shape, and that so great number OF
Republicans would take the same course,
including several of the Oldest and most
prominent members, that 1t was hopeless
TO expect to get majority vote. The only
annexation by the ratification of treaty
by the Senate, which requires two-thirds
vote of that body. The Senate is composed
of seventy.four members, 80 that 1t Will
take fifty votes to constitute tWo-thlrds:
The Republican strength Is flfty,seyen, and
the Democratic is seventeen. All the DEM
ocratic Senators except Mr.. Blair are op-
posed to annexation. It will therefore only
be necessary that niue Republicans shall
vote with the sixteen Democrats to defeat
the confirmation Of the annexation treaty,
and more than thdt number declare in posi-
tive terms chat they are opposed to annex
alton in any form; and that they will vote
against it from first to last, their opposition
being intensified by the action of
the caucus to-day. 1t is not certain
that all of the twenty-one Senator'S
who opposed the removal OF Mr.. Sumner
from his craftsmanship will oppose annexa-
ton, but all but five or six make no secret
of their opposition. The plan OF the an
nexationists has heretofore been to bring
the treaty before the Senate, convened IN
special executive session, after the adjourn
ment of Congress, when no adverse 1niu-
ence could be brought to bear from the
House, and when its confirmation, they
thought, could be insured. Then, that
annexation might be considered to be fully
accomplished in the long interim before
the December session, troops were to be
sent to occupy the islaud. 1t was thus in.
tended to carry the matter so fur that 1t
would be impossible to recede, and the
House would be forced to vote the appro-
priation. To-day there are few people so
sanguine as to think there is now any pos
sibility of success in the first step OF this
plan. ...-...

THE TORNADO IN THE WEsr-A Recount Of
the Damages Sustained.-St. LOUIS, March
1O.-The losses in East st. Louis by the tor
nado on Wednesday night were much ex-
aggerated. A more careful estimate places
them at about the following figures: The
elevator, $4,000; the Ferry Company,
$4,000; the st. Louis and Vandalla rail-
road, between 100000 and $40, 900; the
Southwestern road, $4,000; the Chicago
and Alton; $50; 1000; the Ohio and Missis-
sippi, $50, 600; the Toledo and Wabash, be-
tween SO, 900 and 800, 900.
The steamer Mollie Able is much more
injured than at first reported. She is almost
stripped Of her upper works, and $50, 900
would hardly repair her.
The losses to citizens cannot be accurate
" given, but as some sixty dwelling houses
of more or less. value were either destroyed
or damaged, the loss can hardly fall short
of 100000. The railroad companies are
busy repairing damages, and the citizens
are endeavoring to gather up their houses
and are collecting their furniture together.
Reports from the country are coming IN,
and speak more or less of the injury IN the
track Of the tempest. In some Localities
the damage was considerable. In Morgan
county, ILL.,, houses, fences, and forests
were blown down, and several persons
badly injured. At Helena, Ark, the same
afternoon, d hurricane passed over the CITY,
unroofing a number OF houses ana doing
other damage. Property was also destroy.
ed atl Osceola and other points Oh the west
bank of the river.

The Great CONSPIRACY.

The searching investigation of the friends
of virtue into the grand conspiracy entered
into by our best known and wealthiest citi-
zens to betray Virginia and destroy Rich
mond, is going forward with due zeal and
permesting scrutiny. We.publish full ac-
counts of what has been elected, to which
we refer the reader.
We invite attention especially to the
statement Of Col. BRIDGERs, president Of
the Weldon and Wilmington railroad.
Upon its face it bears the evidence of that
sort of sincerity and utter freedom from
trick or evasion which invites entire faith
and confidence in the man. We feel graft
fed at the prospect of being placed in init
mate relations with highway managed by
a gentleman evidently so much above all
unfairness and cunning trickery.
The statement of Colonel BR1DGERs shows
that his whole object has been to reach
Richmond, with which, upon the most logi-
cal grounds, he anticipates large trade
and thrifty railroad business, We know
Colonel BRIDGERs's opinion of Richmond,
and appreciate fully his oter-r,iling motive
to establish between it and the eastern por-
tions of North and South Carolina, through
the roads be controls, very large trade.
No man, after reading his statement, can
suspect him of any connection with the
Pennsylvania Central railroad. And every
man must feel that the entire views and
objects of BRIDGERs and his friends are
limited to this city. The city and the State
should hail their project as one of the most
encouraging and advantageous that has
been brought to public notice since the
war, and should gladly welcome the day
when it shall be accomplished.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At the afternoon session Gen. Malone
was again called to the stand.
Question by Mr.. GUY: Who is it, Gen
eral. that you profess to represent in this
matter?
Answer: The Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio Railroad Company, embracing, l may
safely say, quite entirely the communities
of Norfolk and Petersburg and those iden-
titled with the line of that work reaching
from Norfolk to Cumberland Gap, and, ii
not presumptuous, the best interests Of
this Commonwealth. ..
Q. You spoke this morning OF North
Carolina trade which ought by reason OF its
geographical position to the cities OF Viz
ginia to seek them as its market. Would
your failure to secure the control Of the
Richmond and Petersburg railroad tend in
any manner to divert any of that trade from
your line?
a. Not from my line or the railway
represent, because it is not contest
ant for the trade of the section to which
reference is made, but that damage would
result to that line in so far as the cities Of
Norfolk, Petersburg and Richmond won"
by the control of this coast liz" ,,,rs,.N.
under and in conjuncti".,, WITH ans ,,"se,
the control Of an interest entirely foreis1
to this sts...e, cut short, restrain, and Oh
press their growth and development due
and Of consequence arising from fair and
riahtful participation in the trade of that
section, becomes result natural to expect
from such control of the coast line and the
line OF railway now proposed under the
c6RRssQl of the Pennsylvania railroad from
Richmond north
Mir. Guy Did you not send for or tele.
graph to the President of the seaboard
and Roanoke railroad to come to Richmond
to look to bis interests In this controversy
and is it not bis chief interest to prevent
such connection between Richmond and
Weldon and the roads south Of Weldon as
will divert trade at Weldon to the seaboard
and Roanoke railroad?
Answer I have no recollection to have
teiegraphed or to have sent for the presi. |
dent OF the seaboard and Roanoke railroad |
10 connection with this matter. The propo-I
sition made 10 the General Assembly on be-
,an OF the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

The friends of this great work will be
glad to learn that the bill for extending Its
privileges passed the House of Delegates
Saturday night with remarkable unanimlty.
One immaterial amendment to protect West
Point was adopted by the House, and the
bill for that goes back to the Senate, where
it will be at once passed with the amend
ment.
Thus the Legislature is relieved of an.
other railroad subject. The last, we be-
lieye, is the " little lamb" of the Rich
mond and Petersburg road. May we not
hone that that will be wound up to-day!
