TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.
The following special despatch to the HERALD
has been received from our correspondent serv-
ing at the seat Of the Alabama Claims Arbitra-
ton, in Geneva, Swtzerland:-
GENEVA, June 49, 1872.
photographed you last night that such was
the position Of affairs, with respect to the Ala
bama claims arbitration proceedings, that it
would not be surprising if weeks adjourn
ment of the Court were agreed upon, in order to
allow both sides--Great Britain and the United
States-an interval for home deliberation on the
all-important points pending between the gov
ernments.
THE SESSION or JUNE 10 AND HOPEFUL PROGRESS.
The result of the meeting of the arbitrators
to-day is Of most favorable character. The
Court decided that it is essential, in the inter-
est of both Of the contracting arbitrating par
ties, that the next sitting Of the members
should be fixed for Wednesday, the 26th
inst, at the hour of two O. clock in the after
noon.
By that time full communications can take
place between the counsel and the Cabinets on
10th c;J -,
pect Of affairs that when the tribunal reas-
sembles, after the adjournment recess, success
in the matter Of q settlement Of the case will
be less surprising than failure.
In fact, believe that considerable progress
has been already made in the solution of the
question, and l also believe that if the good
understanding which now prevails among the
parties most interested continues and is main
tanned during week, the arbitrators of the
Alabama claims difficulty, as well as your cor.
respondent, will find that the mission to
Geneva has not been undertaken in vain.
SPLENDID WEATHER AND DIPLOMACY UNDER A
SOOTHING INFLUENCE.
The weather is splendid, and its seductively
soothing influence accounts for the non-punc-
tuality of the arbitrators and counsel, who
have struggled into Court from their outdoor
enjoyments in the following order:-His
Excellency Baron Itajuba, Mr.. Waite and
Mr.. Beaman, the Swiss citizen Jacob
Staemphi, His Excellency Count Sclopis, Mr..
Cushing, Mr.. Ewarts, Chief Justice Cockburn,
Sir Rounded Palmer, Lord Tenterden, and
MIR. Charles Francis Adams. Mr.. Davis came
in last.
4 BRIEF SESSION.
The session Of the Court to-day lasted hardly
three-quarters Of an hour, Count Sclopis leav-
ing the room at quarter to three 0 clock.
POSITION OF THE COURT TOWARD THE PRESS
During the period Of the session it was con-
fdently believed outside that the result of the
deliberations of the arbitrators would be
officially communicated to the representatives
of the newspaper press but after the sitting
had been brought to a close, the secretary, NJ
Favrot, announced that s'the members OF the
Court had determined not to communicate
intelligence until the question under consid-
Grafton is settled"
| 1t is generally believed that when the Arbi-
tration Court is properly constituted its pro-
ceedings will be made public.
CITIZEN VISITORS AND CIVIC PROFITS.
The inhabitants of Geneva are, generally
speaking, uninterested concerning the pro-
ceedings. The hotel keepers, however, are de-
lighted at the prospect of the Court remaining
in session for considerable period Of time.
The American and English visitors remain,
very anxious to ascertain all that is going on
with regard to the specific cause of the as
semblage.
AMERICAN ARDITRAToRs ON THE WING.
The American members of the Court Just
now engaged in arranging for pleasant excur-
sions. One or two of them will leave Geneva
for Paris and London and be absent week
or so.
