THE ALABAMA CLAIMS AND THE STATE OF ENG
ILsH FEELING.
LONDON, June Ain the House Of Lords,
this evening, Sir Stratford de Radcliffe moved
for copy Of all the Alabama treaty. He said
the government had shown the greatest con-
ciliation in it's desire to maintain peace, and
trusted that when negotiations were resumed
between the two countries calmer spirit than
that which succeeded MIR. Summers speech
would show it's influence. He hoped that ne
gotiations would place their relations upon q
satisfactory footing, and all would rejoice if
that end could be attained by the able man
whom all loved.
Lord Clarendon regretted the unavoidable
delay in furnishing the papers called for. He
traced the history Of negotiations, and said
that the House of Commons was not entitled
to assume that the majority of the Senate and
people of the United States supported MIR.
Summers demand. He believed that without
intervention the sympathetic feelings and good
sense Of America would ultimately prevail. The
friendly feelings Of the United States we're re-
ciprocated. He would shrink fro no sacrifice
to maintain peace, bat the national honor m ust
be maintained. He was not aware Of the nature
Of MIR. Motley's Instructions, but he hoped what
had occurred would promote and not hinder
negotiations, as the terms that England was will
ling to accord OF must refuse were we'll known.
LONDON, June 5-The temperate speech of
Lord Clarendon, in the House Of Lords, last
evening, on the subject Of the Alabama treaty,
elected the following comments from the Lon
don journals, this morning
The Standard says ''Negotiations for the
Alabama treaty failed because America never
intended them to succeed. II England now
admits that it is her duty to renew her efforts
for peaceful settlement, it Is withc ut hope
Our honest desire for such settlement will
not be appreciated but by small section of
the American people. Meantime, until the
details Of Motley's mission are known, we
should fold our hands and limit our compl:-
ments to him as great historian"
The Star says: Americans can no longer
doubt our Willingness to do them right, or our
determination to preserve our national char
acter and credit"
The Post says new attempt for the SETTLE
ment of the Alabama claims must come from
America, and hopes that due precaution will 4
be taken to secure England ag ainst accepting
treaty almost with humility, which will be
rejected at last with contumely.
The Standard, after attrlbuting arrogance
and greed to America, says: s'No English min
lister ever had to make any explanation so hu-
initiating as that which Lord Clarendon bad
uttered in the House of Lords. However con-
scious of the sincerity of his motives and the
rectitude of his conduct, it was no less hu-
initiation to be obliged to treat, in the conven-
tional phrases Of diplomacy, with country
that has acted as the United States did ia the
alabama case"
