Anglo-Saxon race to dominate over the native
population by assimilation had completely failed.
At the outset he complained that they were coEl-
PEELED to consider this question under the
WHIP AND SPUR OF THE ADMINISTRATION
and pointed the impropriety Of the unusual haste
that had been persstently evinced to have the
commission sent TO st. Domingo. He repeated sum-
ncr's charge that the proposed annexation of the
Dominican part OF the island was most fagrans
menace to the republic Of HaYti, which was
divided from the other only by an
imaginary line. His conviction was that this
measure If the policy which it suggested was car
ried out would make 1t necessary for us to annex
the whole West India islands to the United States.
Schurz appealed 10 history to prove, and challenged
Senators to deny that republican form of govern
ment had ever been established In tropical
climate that tropical labor when free had degene.
rated into shiftessness, and that al attempts to or
ganize such labor had resulted in nothing less than
slavery. At this point Carpenter remarked
that according to this agreement, slavery
ought never to have been abolished
In the United States. SchuZ did not want to see
slavery re-established IN either ST. Do
stating historical facts. During the delivery
of Schurzs speech he was frequently interrupted by
the Dominicans, most prominent Of whom were
Morton, Conkling, Stewart Carpenter and Warner.
These gentlemen did not seem to understand
that Schurz Is auJat at getting interruptions. II is
one OF the things which, OF all others, he most de-
sires in making speech. Hence he yielded to every
Senator who asked him question The result OF
these interruptions was, general thing, that ne
tnrned
THE ENEMY's GUNS UPON THEIR OWN CAMP.
Morton put the hardest posers to him, and yet he
succeeded In creating laugh upon nearly every
question at Mortons expense. Sumner, who had
no chance TO speak, was afraid Schurz
would forget TO meet the point made by
the Dominicans that the Uuited States did
not take the republic of ST. Domingo when it offered
itself some European Power would take it. He
therefore reminded Schurz Of this point when he
had progressed about half way in his speech Schurz
evidently had not forgotten 1t, for he told Sumner
he was coming to 1t by and by. When he came to
1t he scattered the whole sentiment, and proceeded
10 give his reasons for not believing it.
Morton stated that he had good reasons to believe
that
GERMANY WANTED IT,
but when Sumner asked him to state his reasons he
declined to do So Warner, of Alabama, who goes
out on the 4th of March, undertook to raise ques-
ton with Schurz as to whether the Anglo-Saxon
race and free labor could succeed in
the tropics. He pointed to the Southern
States as living refutaton OF Schurzs
argument. Schurz, with great dellberation and
coolness turned upon him ana asked him If lie re-
garded the Southern States as tropical country
Warner, seemingly Off his guard, said tnat he did,
whereupon Schurz, turning away from him with an
expression Of disgust said, "Wel II YOU do that
case is settledn This created
LAUGH AT woMEN's EXPENSE
and for the remainder of the debate he did not
attempt to interrupt Schurz. When Schurz finished,
Yates obtained the floor and proceeded In general
rambling way to deny all schurz had SAID. His
speech was short and had no effect. Wilson had
five minutes to enter protest against what he
called the
FALSE PHILOSOPHY OF sCHURZ' SPEECH,
after which Sumner appealed for more time, but In
vain. al object" said Conkling, ITO any more de-
lay. Let us vote now."
Sumner, seeing there was no chance for more
speech making piled In his amendments. In this
he was assisted by the clerical Salisbury OF
Delaware, but all the amendments were only so
many tenpins set up to be Immediately knocked
down.

Senate resolution, as amended by the House, was
finally passed without opposition.
