TO insist upon the Rosario boundary II not now be
leved that the Senate is disposed to act hastily but
rather that Senators VIII be inclined to wait Tor the
discussion In the British Parliament where II Is sup
posed the phraseology OF the rules and the sub
ect OF Engands responsibility for the payment OF the
Alabama claims will be fully entered into. In view OF
EARL GKANvILLE's DECLARATIONS
a strong effort viii be made not to place the treaty
beyond the power OF revision until 1t is understood
and agreed what IL really means 1t Will be observed
that the objections above noted are In addition to
Mr.. Summers protest against the United States In
any way recognizing claims Of English subjects
which grew out Of the war, and which, he alleges,
should be paid by England, II AT oil,
as 1t was Engand's orlcial conduct which
gave vitality to the war and the supplies furnished
the rebels by her connivance which nurtured 1t; and
they are also In addition to the feeling that England
in the treaty neither apologies nor offers to recog
nize her liability for her hasty, Injurious and un-
friendly recognition of the belligerency OF the Con-
federates before that belligerency was fact but
which recognition really created the fact which had
not existed before the Queens proclamation was
put forth. 1t is said
THE DEMOCRATS
met tonight to talk the subject especially as
to the principles OF international law involved; and
further, that instead OF Reverdy Johnson being
sires that 1t may ratified by the Senate.
TIE INVESTIGATION INTO THE LEAK.
The Select Committee on Senatorial Privileges
held meeting tonight and examined
five witnesses concerning the publication Of
the treaty in the New York Tribune. G..
w. Adams, correspondent OF the World, testified
In effect that he had no knowledge OF how the copy
was obtained or from whom. Messrs White and
Ramsdall, OF the Tribune severally testified that
they did not procure 1t either from Senator or any
officer or employe OF the Senate. They, however,
declined to answer the questions as to the name Of
the person from whom 1t was obtained, and whether
they paid money for 1t. This refusal on their part
win be reported to the Senate tomorrow for the
action OF that body.
MOVEMENTS OF THE COMMISSIONERS
The members OF the Joint High Commission who
are here, together with few invited guests, left
this city early this morning on a special train OF
elegant palace cars consisting of three saloon cars
one dining and one smoking car, for the purpose
OF paying visit to Harper's Ferry Among the
guests were Secretary Robson, Attorney General
Alderman, the attaches Of the British legation and
quite large number OF ladies. At the Relay House
the private OF the President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad was attached to the special train from
washington. The car contained President Garrett,
several other officers OF the railroad and number
OF prominent private citizens from Baltimore.
Refreshments in abundance were provided after
arriving at Harpers Ferry. Jefferson Rock
and all the other points OF interest were
visited. Earl de Grey and sir stafford
II. Northcote, accompanied by some OF the ladies,
were the only persons who assembled Maryland
Heights, but after having gained the summit they
were satisfied that the view fully repaid them for
their trouble. The splendid scenery OF that region
was universally admired. The party returned here
late tonight delighted with their visit.
