Stirring News from W Rsh1ngtO0-EngiaRd
Virtually Rejects the Amended Dallas
Clarendon Treaty.
The answer of England to the amended Dallas.
Clarendon treaty has been received at Washing
ton. The treaty notifications made by our Cabi-
net, by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, are virtually rejected by Lord Palmerston,
and doubtless with some suggestions through Mr..
likely TO revive the slumbering Anglophobia Of
the State Department.
In the absence Of any precise Information
touching the real objections Of Palmers.on to the
treaty, as amended By our government, we are
left upon this point, TO our conjectures. We feel
pretty well assured, however, that the late ultra
proelsvcry Senate at Washington is mainly re-
ponsible-that lite iupracticable demands Of Eng
land concerning piggers in the Bay Islands and
elsewhere, we're fatally offensive objections with
the British Cabinet. Other considerations have
doubtless contributed to sharpen this specific
point Of hostility into something OF positive ill.,

Another issue, however, rising Car above the

diplomatic accounts OF Lord palmerston, has
evidently excrtcd controlling influence over his
mind adverse TO this amended Dsllas-Clarcndon
