seven hundred people persisted Within the
last few months several countries have suf-
Tered from similar causes The floods in
Nor'hern Italy have not yet ceased to be q
theme for conversation; the floods in India
are still fresh. no doubt, In the memory Of our
readers, while here at home in the Southwest.
we have had disasters of like character.
They ALL however, fall short when compared
with the innundations in the northwestern geo.

lump these Alabama claims Of all descriptions
in a gross sum of money, the American, or
rather the United States, government reserves
to itself the right of putting in these indirect,
inferential or consequential damages
With these facts brought before them touch
ing the proceedings of the Joint High Com
mission, we suspect that Mr. Horsman and
Her Majesty's opposition will not learn much
to their advantage in the inquiries proposed.
We think, moreover, that in this notice of Mr..
Horsman he shows a degree of ittleness and
contemplate Paul Frying behind the record
which is strongly suggestive Of weak and
desperate case against the Gladstone govern
ment In any event we are glad to believe
that our government, in its concessions to Eng
land, has gone to the end Of its journey, and
does not intend to be party to any further
quibbling, hedging or trifing on the subject
AS the alternative. having the whole case of
damages in our hands, we can get along very
well without the treaty.
