The Alabama ClaIms-..COmmenGs OF
the London Journals and De-
bate In Parliament.

The temperate speech of Mr.. Claren-
don In the House OF Lords, last even
ing, on the subject Of the Alabama
treaty, has elicited the following COM
ments from the London Journals this
morning:
The Times says: For our part, con-
sidering the demands OF America and
the ready concessions of England, we
wonder how the latter got Off so we'll.
The rejection of the treaty was more a
lucky chance than a result of the firm
ness of anybody engaged in behalf of
Great Britain.
The Standard says the negotiations
for the Alabama treaty failed, because
America never intended them 10 sue
ceed. IfEngland now admits that it is
her duty to renew the effort for peace
full settlement, it is without hope. Our
honest desire for such settlement will
not be appreciated but by small Sec
tion of the American people. Meantime,
until the details OF Mr.. Motley's mis-.
sion are known, we should fold our
hands and limit our compliments to
him as great historian.
The Star says: Americans can no
longer doubt our willingness TO do
them right, and our determination to
preserve our national character and
credit.
LONDON, June 6.
A meeting of conservative peers was
held yesterday, to determine what
course should be pursued in regard to
the bill for the dis-establishment of the
Irish Church. Lord Cairns urged that
opposition be made to the bill on the Sc
cond reading, and that 1t be finally re-
jected. He said the leaders of the party
did not wish to dictate, and were anx-
ious that the judgment of each peer
should remain unfettered. He felt, as
the country had never pronounced on
the present bill, and as the feeling OF the
House OF Lords was so opposed to it.,
the most consistent and best course 10
pursue under the circumstances would
be to repudiate the measure.
Lord Salisbury deprecated the course
recommended by Lord Cairns. The
agitation which would follow the rGjec-
ton Of the bill would be most disas-
trous to the country and would do
nothing to save the Irish Church. 1t
would be better to accept the bill and
modify it In Committee than to renew
i'll feeling and excitement.
Lord Carnovan supported the recon.
mendation of Lord Salisbury. He
urged upon the Chamber of Peers, now
that it was able, TO make Terms for the
Irish church; they might not have an
opportunity hereafter.
Lord Derby was in favor of the rejec.
ton of the bill, contending that per.
sonal fears should deter no one from
doing right.
The majority of Lords present ap-
proved OF Lord Derby's remarks, and
it was agreed that the second reading of
the bill should be opposed. 1t is esti-
mated there will be majority of so
against the Irish Church hill on its Sec
ond reading in the House OF Lords.
Some arrests have been made In
