The Alabama Cluims-A BASIS OF Settle.
mcnt Agreed Upon.

mcnt agreed Upon.
1t is known, according to our Washington
dispatches, that basis for tte settlement Of
the Alabama claims has been agreed upon by
the Joint High Commission. The RESPONSE
biity of England for the depredations of
waters is accepted, and it is agreed
that such responsibility shall be hereafter
accepted as political maxim between
the United States and Great Britain, both
these Powers also pledging themselves to
make efforts for general international ac-
ceptance of the same view. The claims at
present under consideration are to be sub
mitted for verifcation and auditing to
new commission of five persons-one to
be named by the President, one by
the Queen and one each respectively by
the President of Switzerland, the King of
Italy and the Emperor of Brazil. These
commissioners are to be sworn, like jurors,
that they have formed no previous immovable
opinion and have no prejudices in the matter,
but that they will decide altogether upon the
evidence as they receive it. They will be
cognizant of and adopt the maxim accepted by
the present Commission, however relative
to responsibility, and will conflne themselves
altogether to hearing evidence, auditing
claims and signing checks, which will be
payable promptly on their endorsement, for
any sums that our insurance companies, ship
owners and merchants generally are able legi-
timately to pile up against England. After
the Commission gets through another commits
sion of three, one of whom is to be
appointed by the Emperor Of Russia and
the other two respectively by the President
and the Queen, will wind up the little odds
aud ends and sweep out the rubbish left by
the two previous Commissions Thus we are
to have clean sweep made of all the Alabama
claims, provided always that the government
of Great Britain and-the Senate of the United
States are satisfied with the settlement now
made public.
The main point in the whole arrangen ent
seems to be that the final payment of cash
on these claims is to be delayed almost
indefinitely. 1t was too much to ask that the
high and mighty Commission now at WASH
ington should 60 over all the petty
details and tote up item after item
of damages when they had 80 much extra
labor in the way Of fox-hunting, starting docu-
mentary evidence from cover, dining, flushing
old precedents, visiting and mer;rr.ymakIng;; and
they have done as we'll and about as much as
could be expected Of them. Nothing is said
about any counter-claims, and we may reason
ably conclude that the English Commissioners
have very sensibly refrained from pressing
them.

FIeHrINa IN CUBA.-By special telegram
we learn that the rebels are violent In their
death struggle. We knew that this would be
the case that the last of their efforts would be.
the most energetic, and that if the Spanish.
forces were not careful they would receive
severe injury from those who, seeing their
cause to be hopeless, prefer death by the
sword rather than the garrote.

THE KU KLUx BILL is not a mere nullity
of legsladon-''full of sound and fury, signi-
Tying nothing" 1t is meant for use, every
word of it. 1t is to be heavy battering ram
to batter the marauders to death If necessary
and the exciting work was commenced yester-
day by the arrest Of two Ku Klux pages Of the
Senate who frightened little darby in the
Capitol grounds BY putting rope around his
neck and yelling ''Ku Klux" at him. 1t is to
be hoped that these cold-blooded miscreants
will be made to feel the full terrors of the law
THAT Is, IL we have law bearing upon their
case
