English View of the Geneva Con-
ference.
A special from London says the i'm
preston prevails there that the Geneva
Conference will necessarily disappoint
the hopes of its friends, and that in
the end il will prove failure. If the
Conference should decide in favor of the
claima, no English Government would
accept the result. No Parliament
would vote the money, hence the pro-
ceedngs would stop. The proceedings
is now a pretense. The argument OF
the Times is that England should demur
to the claims OF indirect damages. II
the court reject the demurrer she should
withdraw from the case. This is not
an argument addressed to the govern
ment, but is the government view put
ont as feeler. The government saws:
We cannot acquiesce in the construc-
ton which we are determined not to
acknowledge ifproved against us.

not support him; that his nomination
