its former position the subject expressed in the cor

believe that the force OF the treaty will be

Louisville Orgc and Issuing OF warrants Or the rearreSt
of WnsOw and Gray. The delivery of these men to the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Democrats in the
House made ready to-day 10 commit a worse piece Of
partisan folly than thr Ison of the Colorado mem
Der yesterday but they were saved by their Speaker
Their resolution for sending committees South was
carried last evening by an exact twOthrds majority,
the understanding 1916 to az. When the journal was
read this morning Mr. Plaisod of Maine discovered
that his name did not appear among those voting in
the negative. He asked TO have the error corrected.
Another member said ho had heard him VOTE and
Mr. Plaistcd assured the House that last night, TO
make il certain that he was recorded, he had lis
tened To tie reading of the names, and had heard
his read Still his name did not appear on the jour
nal md had his vote been counted the resolution
would have been defeated.
The Democrats under the lead Of Mr. Holman, OPP
posed with great persistence Gen. Bankss motion TO
make the correction. They were positive that II
was against all preccdents TO do such thing when
il would change an announced result; but Mr.
Kas,on and Mr Hoskns were armed with a prece-
dent in the form of an exactly parallel case when
occurred in the XXXth Congress- bill which had
passed on "A Saturday was lost the next Monday ny
admitting the vote of a member whose name had
been omitted by mistake from the list OF nays.
Fearing that they were going to lose Their reSoi-
ton the Democrats were ready to disregard both
precedents and fairness when Speaker Randall ruled
that Mr. Plaisteds name shGuld he entered on the
journal as having voted in the negative.
Mr. Randall then asked unanimous consent 10
have the vote taken again, but before the roll
call could be- got under way Democrat. MI ruler
of Indiana announced that he also had voted ana
his name was not recorded III the affirmative IhS
changed the face of affairs. The Republicans hhd
entertained strong suspicious that the resolution
had been counted in yesterday, and Their opinion
was strengthened by the revelation of these errors

right TO vote because he should have exercised tha'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Secretary of

that elapsed since he entered upon his present duties
has barely suced to famllarze him with the affairs of
the department. He therefore confines himself to a
summary the reports of the general of the army and
chiefs Of the various bureaus. The following are ex-

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUsEl
WAsHISGToE, Dec. 5.-The Presidents Message
proved dry bundle OF sticks, and disappointed
everybody. In the Senate the reading was listened
to with show Of attention; but in the House. after
the first few paragraphs, the New-York papers.
which had just arrived, seemed TO be considered by
most members as the more important public docu
ments.
The attention Of the Democrats was caught by the
reference to the intimidation of Southern pOstmas-
ters and when the portion relating to the election
was reached the papers were laid down all over the
Houso, and everybody listened. The short para
graph on the subject, having little pertiDence
TO the present troubles, however, met no ones
expectation. 1t is thought the President intends
to wait until the electoral is cast before discus
sing this important theme. and will then make it
the subject OF a special communication. 1t is under
stood that his views upon this point were written
ont at length and at first embodied in the message
but that he decided yesterday to strike them out
and await the elimination Of events before sending
them To Congress- The recommendation Of an edu-
catonal qualification for suffrage seemed TO meet
with the approval of the best men on both sides OF
the House.
The message contained one great surprise Listen
in the Senate and House could scarcely believe
their ears when the document turned abruptly from
its brief and slight discussion of the momentous
questions of the day to revive the arguments on the
long-dead issue of the annexationof Santo Domingo.
People know how dear this scheme was to the
Presidents heart. Tne country had almost forgot
ten it in the rush of great events but Gen. Grant
cannot go out of office without telling Congress once
more of the mistake he thinks il made in refusing
to annex the island. The closing sentences of the
Message, where the President speaks of the ap
preaching close of his official life. and the probabil
ty that he will again, after the 4th of
March, give attention 10 public affairs except as
private citizen, relieved the minds of good many
Democrats. The phantom of Cesarism vanished
forever from their sight.
