In the House of Commons today Mr.
Gladstone apOlOgized for not being able to
make definite statement with regard to
negotiations with the United States, as he
had promised the House. The postpone
ment Of the day of adjournment by the
American Senate rendered a full explana-
tiOn impossible. As to the supplemental

would assure members that it did not leave
the subject of indirect claims, present or
future, open for any misunderstanding
hereafter, and in this view Mr.. Schenck,
the American minister, comedies He gave
an account of the preceding negotiations,
and said the suggestion was made that
England should dl aft an additional article,
whereby she was to make certain agree
ments for the future, and the United States

claims. The suggestion was accepted and
acted on. The difficulty which had since
arisen did not torch the main LOint.
Mr. Disraei called attention to the fact
that the Premier had omitted to state
whether arbitration was to proceed on the |
fifteenth instant.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that this date had |
been kept carefully in view in the negotia- |
tiOns.
Mr.. Horstman put the following questions:
"Has the government reason to suppose |
that the United States government is in |
ciined to withdraw from Secretary Fish's |
position, and that concessions must proceed /
from England for settlement 2"
Mr.. Gladstone replied that the United
States make no claims touching indirect
claims at Geneva. These words her ma
jesty's government believes bear but one
and in that Mr. Schenck agrees
with u.s.
Mr.. Osborne considered that the explana-
tons amounted to nothing. The House and
the country were not satisfied. He hoped
q distinct declaration would be extOrted
from the government, and that unless in
direct claims were fully. fairly and imme-
diately withdrawn, Great Britain would
refuse 10 proceed with arbitration. TCheers. I
Mr.. Boqvrie said he had heard the state

aised.
Otway said they had been warned of the
langer of fresh engagements with the
United States, and he wanted to know
whether any new engagement had been
0ade or accepted by the government.
G.. B. Gregory, member for East Sussex, |
legged to know if the government had as
urance of the American Minister, Mr.
chenck, in writing.
To the latter question Mr. Gladstone an
wered no. He added: THE honorable
MEMBERS seemed to think some price had |

ion of pressing the withdrawal of indirect J
