a salary for the commissioners. The

president named Benjamin F. Wade,

Samuel G. Howe and Andrew D. White

-the last named is one of the Vene

men visited San Domingo. They stud

ied the situation thoroughly, became

convinced that President Grant was

right and so reported.

Then the trouble began. There fol

lowed in the senate one of the most ill

tempered debates ever heard in con

gress. Charles Sumner led in the op

position-he made a terrific attack on

the president's conduct, he went farther

than most of the senators felt wad

right. The annexation scheme failed,

and the smoke of the battle hung heav

and Senator Sumner had no personal

intercourse. A few months afterward.

the chairmanship of the committee on

foreign relations, and he refused corn

mittee appointments to which he was

assigned.

From that time until the close of his

life Senator Sumner, brilliant as had

been his career and splendid his abil

ity, was in an uncomfortable place,

although, just as the end was ap

proaching, he appeared to be treated

by the republican senators with re

newed friendliness. He died three

years and a day after his chairmanship

was taken from him; meanwhile, the

San Domingo annexation scheme had

passed out of the minds of the people.

If this country gets any fun out of the

Venezuelan affair, it may come when

the commission makes its report.
