LONDON, February Con- reopening
Parliament to-day the speech OF Her
Majesty the Queen was presented and
read by the Lord Chancellor in the

bers of both Houses. Her Majesty
felcitates the government and country

tinuance OF their relations with foreign

ton difficulty, Her Majesty informed
Parliament that a communication had
been made to the United States Gov.
ernment, respecting extensive claims Of
An indirect nature which had been
submitted with the Americ an case to
the conference, and which are not
understood by the British Government
as coming properly within the province
ofarbritration. Her Majesty expresses
a hope that the present obstacles toward
proceeding with the arbitration may,
however, be disposed OF in manner
acceptable to both nations. The re-
mainder of the speech is devoted prin-
cipally to home affairs. Reference is

LONDON, February 6, Midnight.-ln
the House of Commons tonight the
debate on the Washington treaty claims
was productive of much interest. Mr..
Dsraeli spoke with great warmth, and
at the conclusion of a lengthy speech
stated that the consequence OF the &C,
ceptance by the British Government OF
the indirect claims, would be 10 intllct
upon the nation a burden greater than
would be Iexacted by conquest, Grip
pling her resources, and fatal to her
fame. Mr.. Gladstone in reply said that
on Saturday last, February 81, the Gov
ernment forwarded to the United States
Government at Washington, a commu-
nication protesting against the claims,
stating at the same time that the ques-
ton was one Of absolute inadmissibility,
not even meeting a moments considera-
ton. Mr.. Gladstone concluded by say
ing that he sincerely hoped the difficult
ty would be solved by the two Govern
ments in friendly spirit. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed in the House
throughout the debate.
LONDON, February 6, midnight:-ln
the House Of Lords tonight the arbitrs-
ton claims were the subject OF pro-
longed debate. The speeches made
were all tending towards repudiation
of the indirect claims attached to the
Washington treaty by the United States.
The speakers were frequently inter-
rupted by loud cheers, immense en-
thusiam being manifested during the
entire sitting.

tive, named Parish, has set up claim
to some property in the district, in.
cluding the ground, etc, on which
stands Mount House, a good looking,
newly erected dwelling house occupied
by Mr.. Thornton. Parish seized a
cottage in the same neighborhood, and
put man into it, with bed, etc. He
was turned out OF it by order of a
Preston solicitor next day; the bed he
had got into it was placed on the side Of
the road; ands bailiff was empowered
to keep look out and prevent Parish
from re-occupying it.
On Saturday afternoon, Parish, his
wife, two sons, and between twenty and
thirty men and boys marched to Mr..
Thornton's residence before mentioned /;
one Of them, with spade in his hand,
began to dig up "a portion Of the ground
in 'front.' his idea being that if be did
that it would be tantamount to estab-
fishing a locus standi. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thornton and two or three ladies were
in the house at the time, and they
barricaded the front door, but Parish

had a right to the whole place, broke
the door in then broke an inner door,
and got fairly into the house, and then
began to remove some of the furniture:
There was great excitement mingled
with shouting while the siege was pro-
crossing, and in the meantime Mr..
Thornton sent to his solicitor, IN
Preston, information OF what was
going on,
The solicitor caused posse OF the
county coustablary to be dispatched,
along with bailitf and several OF his
men. After . some struggling, the
police managed to drive Parish and his
supporters off the ground. On Their
return to Preston, Parish, with his
men, made another effort to take
possession of the cottage out OF which
his man had been turned. They
walked about the premises, and then
returned to the front, when a man who
was inside pushed up one OF the
windows, and, holding an umbrella IN
his hand, which they suspected was a
gun, pointed it in the direction OF the
crowd. This created some alarm, and
the besiegers took to flight.

WASHINGTON.
General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The tone
Of the English press on the subject of
the American claims creates no special
excitement officially. The State Depart
ment, most undoubtedly, has been
notified that a communication is now
on the way from Great Britain an
nouncing withdrawal from the arbiua-
ton, provided that England's liabilities
for indirect damages remains an open
question.
Mr.. Schenck telegraphed to Secretary
Fish inquiring whether the United
States would withdraw the demand in
the! Alabama claims for indirect dam
ages. Secretary Fish replied in the
negative, adding that this Government
would insist on a decision of the case
as it now stands.
There was full attendance at the
Cabinet meeting to-day. The session
was protracted one. The reports
from London relative to the treaty of
Washington were discussed at consider
able length. but no expression of
opinion was made, the Administration
preierr,ng to await the receipt of the
vote OF the English Government on this
SUBJECT, which is now on its way here
by mail.
At this hour, II P. NJ, Senator Davis

WASHINGTON, February b.
SENATE.

Mr.. Fenton presented a memorial
from the merchants OF New York urg
ing that all appointments to puo!ic
office be made on the grounds OF ability
and not those Of partisanship. Referred
to the Judiciary committee.
Mr.. Edmunds offered a resolution
asking the President to send to the
Senate any information in his possession
in relation to the alleged intention OF
Great Britain to revoke the Treaty OF
Washington unless the claims OF the
United States shall be presented upon a
principle and in a manner agreeable to
the other party. He said it was ex-
tremely desirable to have this intorma-
ton. No one felt more deeply than he
did the desirableness of peace between
the nations, and the people OF the United
States had shown their desire for peace
by submitting to arbitration the CLAIMS
which they felt ought not to be submit
ted to any tribunal but themselves;
but the British Government and nation
had had full notice that the claims for
consequential damages was to be made
and if they were now about to repudlate
the treaty let US say amen and take care
to enter into no more treaties with
powers go ready 80 break them, and at
the proper time take measures to vlndl-
cate our National honor and en'ore our
just claims.
Mr.. Trumbull thought the Senate
ought not to adopt resolution upon a
mere report that Great Britain was
going to rerudiate the solemn treaty.
He (TrumbulI objected to the passing
of resolution based on mere news
paper rumor.
Mr.. Cameron said he did not believe
the President had any information on

over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Conkling offered a resolution,
which was adopted, directing the COM
mittee on Retrenchment to investigate
the alleged abuses and extortion in
connection with the quarantine and
health regulations in New York.
Mr.. Fenton asked whether these sub
iects were under State control.
Mr.. Conkling said one object OF the
resolution was to ascertain how far
Congress could take the jurisdiction OF
them.
Mr.. Conkling's resolution directing
the committee on Retrenchment to
investigate the alleged abuses and ex-
tortons in connection with the quaran'
tine and health regulations in New
York was passed. The amnesty bill
was then taken up.
Mr.. Sherman made long argument
in favor OF the perfect equality Of all
civil rights without respect to race or
color.
Mr.. Thurman, of Ohio, replied in a
lengthy argument, based on constitu'
tional grounds. He pronounced Mr..
Summers amendment as the very EN-
bodiment of despotism. If mixed
schools were compelled, the rich would
send their children to private institu,
tions, and the poor peoples children
would be compelled to associate with
negroes. 1t would degrade the one
without elevating the other
Mr.. Frelinghuysen OF New Jersey,
said that mature reflection had con-
firmed him in the-view that it would
be most unwise and dangerous to at,
tempt any Federal interference with
religious worship.
Pending any action the Senate, after
executive session, adjourned.
