THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
What England is willing to Do.

A telegram to the New York Evening Post,
dated Washington, January 30, says that the
Alabama claims have been discussed by the
Senate committee on foreign relations in an
Informal way.
The basis upon which Great Britain is pre-.
pared to make the treaty, and which members
of the committee on foreign relations regard
as concessions on the part of the Ualted States,
Is as follows:
First. Great Britain to admit her liability In
the Alabama claims, and to pay all damages
done by her.
Second. To submit TO arbitration the cases
of the Shenandoah, Florida, Georgia and other
vessels.
Third. To enter into treaty binding tho two
countries hereafter to prevent the sailing 0l
the vessels OF war from their ports 10 be used
against friendly power.
Fourth. To make and execute efficient MIL
nlcpal LAWS for this purpose.
These terms, 1t seems, are not satisfactory
to some prominent members OF the Senate
committee on foreign relations Tor several rea-
sons, the principal one being That they pro-
vide only for the settlement of the Alabama
claims proper, and that tRls would weaken
very materially the other Claims.
One of the most prominent members of the
committee does not conceal his opposition to
any settlement Of this question until Great
Britain stands ready to concede some OF her
Canadian Territory In part payment for these
claims.
Great Britain on the terms proposed are at best
only tuir, owing to the objections made by
Eastern senators, and the uncertainty OF Its
being ratified by the Senate.
