MIR. sumner Deposed from the Foreign Affairs
Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 9. The Senate caucus
has adjourned, after agreeing to the report of
the special committee to revise the Senate COM
mittees. The committees report was sustained
by vote of five majority. Mr.. Sumner is
removed, by this action of the caucus, from
his position as chairman of the Foreign Rea-
tion Committee, and Mr.. Cameron is appointed
in bis place. Mr.. Sumner is not on the COM
mittee at all. He refused to accept the chair
manship of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections. The matter creates great indigua-
lion among Summers friends, and there is some
talk of bringing the matter up in open Senate.

THE Peace Commissioners Of Eng
land and the United States are eating
themselves into plight for business. Peo-
pie in our day can do nothing without
eating themselves into questions, as rats
eat into chambers, or as worms eat into
trees. Everything is done by eating
and drinking. The Commissioners have
dined together, wined together and stag
gered together. John Bull fellows are
full of beef and ale, and Jonathan fell
lows are crowded with pork and whisky.
They will come to business when diges-
ton sets in.
