prominent friends of annexation that at least
two democrats of the house will vote for the APP
pointment of a commission. The reports about
the appointment Of a co omission before final
action on the pending propositions are authori-
tatively denied. If it shall pass next week in
concurrent form the names Of the commission

sci is now in waiting to convey them to San
Domingo. 1t is thought that they can obtain
all the information desired in few weeks, and
return to Washington before the adjournment
of congress.
