Progress of the Geneva Arbitration.


New YORK, June 19.-The HeraZds
special from Geneva of the 18tn says an
other very long day has been passed by the
Agents and counsel of the two contending
parties. From an early hour this morn
ing they have been engaged in long con-
situations. Last night the Americans had
arranged some pleasant excursions, with
an early start this morning, but at a late
hour both sides received important dis
patches which caused pOstpOnement of
the trip. Shortly before ten O'Clock, Sir
Rounded Palmer visited Mr. Evarts, and
repeated his visit at a late hour. This af-
ternoon, Evarts had a long CONSULTATION
with the British counsel at the Hotel DeS
Bergnes. In fact the British Agent and
American counsel have been fully Occupi-
ed, not only in the service Of each other,
but in receiving and forwarding long dis
patches. It is evident that unless the
counsel Oh both sides come to some agree
ment to night in acting upon the instruc-
tiOns of their Governments, court will
again meet on Wednesday pre- fOrma and
be requested once more to adjourn.
In that event it will not be surprising to
hear of an adjournment for several days,
because the agents of both parties find that
an interval of one day does not give suffi-
cient time for the transmission of tCle-
graphic dispatches, and in this respect the
Americans are at the greatest disadvantage,
IL their communications must be sent to
London and then to Washington. Both
governments receive the best of assistance
from the Swiss and French telegraph di-
rectors. is not improbable that an ad-
iournment will enable one or both sides
to surrender their ground or consent to
certain notifications which could not have
been done before without exposing them
70, al,
to the dictatiOn of the OppOSide side. 1t
IS very evident that efforts are being made
to adjourn until next week, in hopes that
Granville and Fish may, in the mean
time, arrive at some understanding and
enable the arbitTatOrs to commence their
work. .......
The arbitrators pass their time charac-
teristically. Count SclOpis as q cOurtley gen
Gilman made an excursion to payhis respect
to Princess ClOthilde at Pervilta, on the
shores of Lake Lemar. a short distance
from here Mr.. Adams passed day in
charming antique chatteque.
Baron ID. Itajuba must have felt great
anxiety at being unable to visit his daugh-
ter who is lying ill at Frankfort. Citi-
zen StOmpf1i is to be seen taking his beer
at little table in front Of the Cafe. Sir
\. Cochburn is the least recognized He
takes to his carriage for exercise. Only as
yet there is very little acquaintance be-
tween members of the court. The Sittings
have been so short and abrupt that there
has been only time for the merest ac-
guamtance.
GENEVA, June 19.-Fhe Board of Arbi-
tration met to-day and adjourned until the
10Th instant. 1t is expected that intelli-
gence will be received by that date which
VIII prove favorable to the settlement of
the difference.
BERLIN, June 19.-The bill prescribing
gesuits passed its third reading in the
Relchtag, lSl to 90. Minister Delbruck
closed the session of the Reichstag this af-
ternOOn.
