The Tunes this morning has another
long editorial on the subject OF the Ala
bama claims. The: people of both
England and America, the Times says,
are uneasy in regard 10 the relations
which are to exist in future between
the two nations. This uneasiness arises
from an ignorance of the true state of
the negotiations pending on the Ala
bama question, The Times believes
Secretary Seward himself obstructs the
settlement, but that question will be
finally and amioably adjusted under
the incoming administration Of Presi-
dent Grant.

removed by the new administration,

complete the work already begun.

tlement OF this important question, he
should be humored, but the basis OF the
protocol already agreed on by Lord
Stanley and Mr.. Johnson must remain
liked, and will, sooner or later, COM
mand the consent of both countries.
