TRfATY.-The Senate Committee on Foreis
Affairs held meeting ct the Capitol yestere
for the purI oce OF considering the treaty vi
Great Britain lately negotiated by the jolt
High Commission. Assistant Secretary Of State
j, o. b. Davis having been summoned, appeared
befbre the committee with the Journal Of the
commission, which he read and and explained
ct length. From the journal it appears that the
American commissioners began BY submitting
propositions for the settlement Of the Alabama
claims, which involved all positions taken by
Minister Adams in his communications to Earl
kusteli, including, OF course, as one Of the main
points insisted upon, the wrong done BY Eng

recede entirely. The Engli.h members began
by refusing to recognize their liability for losses
