were instructed to make proposals of accom-
mediation and compromise Of the Alabama

The Tribune says, il the clamor of England
should compel withdrawal from the treaty
Of Washington, ii is not the United States
that will be the heaviest loser by such cause
The World says it looks as if the Admin-
istration has OVERSIGHT the mark in trying to
make party capital out OF this controversy,
andif the treaty is repndiated, the public
verdict will be that the President and his adj
rsshaye bungled the great question in
stead OF settling it.

Hhe HeraJds Washington special says the
excitement among high officials in that city
in consequence OF our relations with Eng
slant conferences between the representa-
tives oil the American Government and the
British Embassy. The situation in England,
as represented by the English legation at
w aslsiHgt tor, is OF the grayest character. The
Tory party. although represented by Stafford
ing the Alabama question upon Parliament
and compelling such vote as would declare
its want Of confidence in the Gladstone Mini
iatry. The Gladstone Ministry, in tconse-
quence, is seeking an amendment int Ala
bama case to parry the assaults OF the Tories.
Dispatches have been received at Washing
ton, urging the Administration to withdraw
its claims for consequent damages.
The Pres. dent Is firm in his convection that
the case as represented by our Government
shall not be amended or Withdrawn. He re-
cards the Geneva Commission as a court and
feels that America has right to go before
that court. like any other party in action,
and leave the question to it's decision. Ii our
case shows any surprising features the fault
will be with the English, who permitted
themselves for their own gain to become
parties to acts upon the United States. The
President also says that the necessities of any
EngHsh ;abinet must not be permitted to
force lis Administration into false position
