THE ANGLO-AMERICAN BOAT RACE.
British Press Comments on the Defeat of the Alta
lantas-Americans Must School for Perfsc-
tion-Race Regulation Concessions VIII
Not Compensate for Want Of Essentials
TELEGRAM 70 TIVE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, June IL, 1872.
The city press comments az follows on the inter
national boat race OF Yesterday
The London Times says the simple fact is that the
Americans have not yet learned, or they have lost,
the true style OF rowing They neglect the car
dinal principles OF effective rowing. The wonder IL
that they were able TO make gallant effort with
such defective method We hope the Americans
will learn how TO then they may put our oars
men to severer tests.
The London Post says the result OF the race
shows that we have nothing TO learn from the
Americans. The latter were inferior in physique
and style. They had everything their own way.
The choice OF water was given them, delays were
conceded and the absence OF coXswans agreed to,
and although they rowed two strokes per minute
more than the Londoners they were easily out
stripped. The result convinces us that the Eng
lish style is the best practised. 1t fears the
American press will exaggerate the Importance OF
the unfortunate foul which the ATLANTA had
toward the close of the race.
The Daily Telegraph says This race illustrates
our national energy. Stalwart strength and logged
adherence to the ways we deem best hold their
own against the dash and daring of our American
kinsf0k. Both crews belong to the Saxon race,
which Is the only one which has the nerve and
are turned and our neighbors across the water win
victory we shall regard it as an English triumph.
The Standard declares a more hollow affair was
never witnessed. The Americans were not good
enough to win an ordinary country regatta. The
effect will be to prevent the Of inter-
national matches for some years. The moral to be
drawn Is that American oarsmen must learn the
first elements before coming three thousand miles
to row.

LONDON June H. 1872.
In the House of Commons to-day Mr.. Gladstone
made statement of the present condition Of the
Alabama negotiations, the main point Of which was
that proposal had been made to the United States
for the postponement Of the meeting Of the Board
of Arbitration ut Geneva for eight months. This
information had. already been anticipated by late
which state that the letter OF Earl Granville making
the proposition has been published there in full.
Mr.. BERNAL OSBORNE asked whether the des-
patch, purporting to be from Earl Granville pro-
posing an adjournment OF the Geneva Tribunal, was
genuine. He considered it humiliating and undig-
nifed.
Mr.. GLADSTONE replied that the despatch was
genuine, and he defended the proposition it con-
tanned as honorable to both countries.
Mr.. DIsRAELI strongly opposed leaving the ques-
ton open for eight months particularly when
heated Presidential contest was in progress In the
United States This country had been kept too
long In the dark. He believed the policy of the
government would end in disaster and disgrace
Messrs. Gordon and Bentinck, OF Norfolk; Lord
Yarmouth Sir G. S. Jenkinson, Mr.. watney and
Others severely criticised the government. express
ing want OF confidence in its future proceedings.
Mr. GLADSTONE defended the action OF the govern
ment at great length, and closed with the declara-
ton that 1t would be q crime to deviate a hairs
breadth from the original position.
LORD GRANvILLEs STATEMENT
In the House of Lords Earl GRANVILLE made his
statement He said that on Saturday last 1t became
clear that the British and American governments
would fail for want of time to come to an agree
ment with regard to the supplemental article The
difficulty between them related solely to the bearing
its conditions were to have in the future. The
Americans considered the English objections
hypercrtical. He had consented to the idea
OF an adjournment of the Geneva Board to give
time for the removal of difficulties. Tomorrow the
British agent and representatives would start for
Geneva; for 1t would be dignlfed and courteous to
appear before the arbtrators, whatever the cir
cumstances might be- Decisive instructions and
full powers had been given them.
Lord CAIRNS expressed his astonishment; but the
House was accustomed to surprises on this subject
He supposed the eight months, adjournment was
made in hope Of something turning IN and helping
the government out OF the prcdicament
Earl GRANVILLE said he must hesitate to accent
Lord Cairns criticisms because OF the inaccuracies
OF his speech.
The Marquis OF SALISBURY believed the Americans
were urging as strongly as ever their Indirect
claims. England had failed to maintain her posi-
ton. He felt there ground for dlstrust. Par.
lament had subsisted too long on scraps Of infor.
nation supplied through the corruption or indis
creton OF American officials The House wanted
to know what the terms were on which England
consented to proceed with arbitration.

III INDIRECT CLAIMS ARE NOT WITHDRAWN.
The only consideration by which those claims can
be debarred at Geneva was the ratification OF the
