THE ALL-ABSORBING TOPIC.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-The comic papers, Punch,
Fun and Judy print cartoons ridiculing the pre-
sentiment of the American claims for indirect
damages.
The Daily News has a special from Rome
which says that Gen. Sherman, in his reception
by the king OF Italy, assured his majesty that
the Alabama question would be peacefully aud
finally settled by the Geneva tribunal of arDi-
tr3tion.
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, British member
OF the Geneva board, approves of the govern
ments refusal TO admit claims for indirect dam
ages.
VIM. Fowler, member of parliament for Cam
bridge, addressing hIS constituents last night,
dwelt at some length on the Alabama case Al
ludmg TO the claim oil the United States for in
direct damages, he said England should not
Ouster nor should she submit to he buled.
dc believed the country to a man had made up
its mind that if its American cousins wanted
money, they would have 10 come and take it.
The Times considers the situation to-day more
satisfactory. 1t denies that the quarrel was
sprung because Gladstone feared the effect OF
the intrigues of Dsraeli and Dixie, for nothing
could be more unpopular in England. The Tel
egraph does not credit the report that the reply

ington. 1t thinks the American cabinet will

ARBITRATION AT AN END
NEW YORK, Feb. IA London special saws
| that no English government continuing nego-
| tiationS in regard to the treaty. of Washington.
as the case now stands, could hold office twenty
| four hours. This is absolutely certain and
| cannot be stated too emphatically. Should the
| government 90 out on this issue their successors
| from the nature of the case, would be EQUALLY
prevented from continuing the negotiations
| Therefore, arbitration is ended, and the oppOr
| tunity for accommodation will be lost unless
some mutual understanding, modifying The
| point OF indirect losses, is arrived at. The En-.
| glish government having positively refused to
| pay the gross sum for all damages, a PROPOSE
ton OF that nature cannot now be advanced
but should the American government renew its
own proposition, made on March s, 1870, in the
protocol, it could be arranged on the basis thar
England pay the highest sum named by Ameri-
ca-SSO,OOO, 900 in gold.
