LONDON, Nov. 10.-The Times has al
editorial article giving the basis of III,
settlement and present status of question:
at issue between the United States and
Great Britain. A mixed commission
consisting Of two members from each ma.
tion will be appointed to adjudge all ques.
tioDs arising since 1853, thedale Of the last
commission, and England's responsibilities
in the matter of the Alabama claims will
be referred 10 Prussia for arbitration. II
the decision is in favor Of America, the
Commission will then investigate the
claims. America has Withdrawn the ques-
ton of the recognition Of the Southern
States by Great Britain during the war.
The San Juan business will be referred 10
the Presidentof Switzerland for arbitration.
LONDON, Nov. l0.-There is the highest
reason TO believe the statepent for the
settlement of the Alabama claims, pub
lished in the Times this morning is incor-
rect. The fourth article of the convention
to which the Times particularly refers,
reads in fact as follows: The Com
missions shall have power to sd.
Indicate upon the class of claims
referred 10 in the official correspondence
between the two Governments as the Ala
bama claims. But before any such claims
ere taken into consideration by them, the
high contracting parties shall fix upon
some sovereign head of a friendly State
"a an arbitrator in respect to such claims
to whom such class Of claims should be
in case the Commission shsll
be unable to come to a unanimous decision
on the same. This offense to be the only
gu stion involved.

STORM BREWING.
There is talk of row about Grant:
filing the War and Navy Department;
With professional officers, but it is pretty
well understood he will have his own way
His wife has said that he is as obstinate
rs mule and his political friends seem
to be settling down to that belief
WHAT IS GRANT? '.H
Whether Grant is Radical or COnserva
alive, it would be idle to speculate. 1t is
true his most intimate friends do not
know his opinions.
THE EIGHT-HoUR SYSTEM
The Superintendent of one of the most
important government works in New
England writes here in regard to the
working of the eight~hour law He saws
that in so far as twas designed to secure
better intellectual culture of the me-
chanics by giving them opportunity for
study, it is humbug. Some of his men
work outside at over-hours, and thus
mako from s. to So per week besides
what the government pays them. Only
two or three Go anything more than be-
fore in the way Of study and reading,
while the majority spend their extra
time in useless loafng, invariably ac~
quiring habits that make them less steady
and reliable as workmen.
