THE ALABAmA CLAIMS.
:
eagIish Press Criticisms OF Sumner s
Speech.

LONDON, May -, 1869.-The Time,
this morning has another editorial on
the Alabama question, suggested by
the recent speech of Mr.. Forster. The
Times says that England has equal
cause Of complaint against America.
Great Britain resisted the temptation
to recognize the South, thereby in
flicting sufferings on her own people,
disObliging an ally, and, in fact, de-
Clared in favor Of the North, and Is
now misunderstood and accused OF
hostility and selfshness.
Sir Francis Head had cOmmunica-
ted several additional official dOcu-
ments to prove the assistance exten-
ded by America to the Canadian re-
volt In 1887. He asserts in his letter
accompanying the documents that
Mr.. Summers language applies to that
case as well as to the case of the Ala
bama, but that the English Govern
ment never received or claimed in
dennity.
The Pal Nat Gazette (an indepen-
dent neWspaper) also has a leading ar
tiCle on the Alabama claims question.
The writer SAYS: " Whatever England
uIu Win respect 10 the Americans,
France did, and ten times more, for
nothing but our refusal to accept her
invitation to recognize the Southern
Confederacy saved the North from a
more trying and doubtful contest"
The Heek{Y Spectator (whig), pub
lished to-day, also discusses the ques-
ton. The truthstold by Mr.. Forster,
the CID and stauneh friend of Amer
lea, must teach the Americans how
universal the resistance would be if
Mr.. Summers demand were seriously
pressed

Mr.. Dawson's report of the Red
river route has been laid before the
Canadian department of PublicW orks,

ing OF communication from Lake
Superior to the Red river, at an esti-
mated cost of $3.50, 600; the probable
ultimate cost of a railroad and eontin-
uous navigation being put at S., ,8O0.-

There has recently been some
change in the arrangement of the Off
GERS of the Pennsylvania Railroad

Joseph Lesley has been appointed
Secretary; W. J. Howard, General
Solicitor; Theodore Cuyler. General
Counsel, and Maj. Firth is still con-
tinued as Treasurer.
in a recent English work ON the
tensile strength Of iron and steel, it is
stated, as the result of an extended
series of experiments, that for such
iron as is usually employed for rails
in France, Belgium and Wales, the
breaking strain, as tested by sudden
blows or shocks, is considerably infiu-
enced by cold. Such iron exhibits, at
ten degrees Fahrenheit, only from
one-third to one-fourth the strength
which it possesses at eighty-four de
grees. The conclusion is drawn from
these experiments that the only prae-
t1eaI way to prevent railway accidents
during severe frOsts and winter wealth
er, is to slacken speed, or to give the
rolling stock more elasticity by the
of the India rubber
springs.
