Mrs. CELIA NJ. BURLEIGH will be present at
the meetings Of the Women's Suffrage Associa-
ton, tomorrow; and she will deliver one of her
admirable addresses, either in the afternoon or
in the evening. AS this lady is stranger in
Worcester, it is not as well known here as in
New York and many other places, that she is
one of the most intelligent and accomplished
female Speakers in the country. Those who
know her well, say she has no superior and
scarcely an equal. Our citizens will have an
opportunity to hear her and judge for them
selves. Her contributions to the "Woman's
Journal" show that she is a thoughtful sensible,
cultivated woman, and that she has excellent
ability as well as earnest sympathy for what is
good and true.

Especial DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER sPY.l


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. II.
SANTANA BAY.
The statement published in some of the pa
perS that an application is before the house COM
mittee of appropriations for 900, to pay for
the second years lease of SANTANA bay, is uncor-
rect. No formal application has been made or
will be. If the money is voted, it will be simply
as secret service money, and nobody will know
what it is for.
OUR COMMERCE.
The select committee on the decline of Ameri-
can commerce met this morning. The chair
man, Mr.. Lynch, was authorized to report bill
to the house allowing drawbacks used in ship.
building for vessels to be employed in foreign
trade only. Several members of the committee
reserved the right of offering an amendment to
the bill, when presented in the house.
SAN DOMINGO.
1t is noted as a curious fact, that Judge Orth
has left out of the Globe that part of his speech
yesterday, in which he stated that there was no
expectation of bringing the report of the San
Domingo commission before the present con-
9reSs. Upon reflection, and consultation with
friends it was thought best to leave that out.
Gen. Butler, who fights openly, stated repeated
ly yesterday, that it was the intention of the
friends of annexation to press it in this con-
gress.
There should be time, and there is not doubt
that the commission will have instructions to re-
turn carly, the 10th or the 18th of February,
and there are those having hopes of a favorable
report of the success of the entire scheme be-
fore the 4th of March. The older members of
the house assert freely that yesterdays vote is
conclusive evidence that San Domingo cannot
pass the present house.
The resolutions passed the senate this after
noon as they came from the house. The best
speech made in opposition, in either branch of
congress, was that by Mr.. Schurz, in the senate
to-day. Mr.. Summers various amendments
six or eight in number, are a foretaste of
what he will do when debate begins on the main
question. He will fight it to the bitter end, and
make all the opposition that he can There is
authority for the statement that the com
mission will be composed of Benjamin F.
Wade, VIM. E. Dodge of New York, and Bishop
Simpson. SAM WELLER.
