FOREIGN NOTES.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The following announcement appears in the Standard :
"-Statements have appeared lately in the columns of some
of our contemporaries to the effect that the Alabama
question was virtually settled, and that there remained
nothing to obtain but a formal sanction from Washington
of the terms agreed to by Lord Stanley and the Hon.
Reverdy Johnson. All these statements are at least pre.
mature. There is good reason to believe that the end of
the difficulty is not far off ; but there is certainly no pre•
sent ground for the assertion that a settlement has been
arrived at." This statement is a confirmation of the
announcement first made in these columns. It was never
mentioned that a final settlement had been arrived at, but
that the difficulty was substantially disposed of. In
affirming that " there is good reason to believe the end of
the difficulty is not far off," the Standard merely repeats
what we announced in more precise terms.
