As we have led you TO expect, every
thing has gone in favor Of the American
question here. The committee chosen to
report upon the subject, have been seven
out oi nine ia favor OF it. This ia a further
indication of the sense Of the Chamber,
and we now consider the majority GER
tain, and are inclined TO believe that it
may be as considerable rs fifty. This
month, we have reason 10 think, will SEQ
the execution Of the treaty.

The vote Of the Senate, on the motion
of MIR CLAY, has arrived most opporiune-
ly TO prepare the minds of our deputies
for favorable and satisfactory decision
on the question Of the indemnity. Tho
reporters chosen in each Of the nine sec
lions OF the Chamber, are all, believe,
in la, or of an unconditional recognition Of
the treaty. As to the issue, therefore,
there can be little doubt.

PARIS, 7th Feb 1895. '
The commission formed Of nine COM
missioners elected by the Burepux of tho
Chal.,bcr Of Deputies for the examination
Of the law Of indemnity OF the u. States,
assembled yesterday and appointed their
President and Secretary. The first is
MIR Benz Delessert, and the second Mr.
Ducor. Now that the report Of the Sen
ate is known, neither war, nor outraged
dignity, nor danger to our commercial re-
iations is longer thought Of. Attention is
entirely dir. cted towards the fair amount
of the claims. l visited yesterday alter-
ternoon three political parties, (3 salons
pol,tiques )and the general opinion appears
to me to be that this year there would be
no subsidy voted for the American indem-
nifty that ,he treaty would not be recog
nized as signed by the King, because we
should then have to pay three. millions
more for interest. The Ministers are
blamed for having recalled M. Serurier
before the opinion Of Congress, on the
Presidents message, was known.

To he Editor Of The Cour. s. Eng.
The great question, the American ques-
lion, is at last the orde, Of the day. M.
de Rigney required on Saturday that on
Monday the Chamber should take up the
project of law for the indemnity OF twenty
five millions but The Deputies thought
thi, much too early, and they fixed tho
pre eparatory discussion in the Bureaux for
last Thursday.
Yesterday, therefore, the private dis
cussioAs commenced. On this first trial,
8 Bureaux out Of 9 Of which the Chambes
is composed, decided in favor Of the law.
Strictly speaking, it may be said that six
are in its favor for Nj. Ducos, who has
been named reporter (rapportcur--Com-
mi.sarie) of the 9th, is, as deputy Of the
town Of Bordeaux, in favor OF the minis
terial project, requiring, however, that
the Minister shall furnish additional doc
uments. 1t must not be too hastily con-
.luded that this trial is decisive of tho
vote of the Chamber, for il he's been oh
served that in the Burenux the question
was by no means made n Cabinet Ques-
ton, il was considered simply a question
of justice, Of equity and aational honor,
thus among the six ministeraIists who
were not in favor Of a reject ion, three
asked for more ample information and
more ample documents. The three 9th
CT hureaux did no, require the rejection
of the law, but suspension Of s,l disc us
sion until the American nation, by the or
can of is representatives., had made
known il it adopted the hostile intentions
of the Prcsidcn, or not Others required
that we should stop ut the first estimation
of tho indemnity. IL millions, and o,b-
ers, in fine, that new negotiations should
be opened. Influential speakers MAIN
l,aned that tho burrnux had no right to
amend the proposed law that il wus more
constitutional to reject il, simply express
ing desire that Ministers would again
direct their attention to this question.
