A QUESTION PRoPosED-THE GOVERNMENT
DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE TREATY
OF WASHINGTON. p a.. rr..t -,.
bring the subject of the Alabama claims before
the House of Lords to-day for debate. Lord
Redesdale proposed to the government the fol-
lowing question: If A. and b., partners and G.
for + lend and defendant c. proves that B. one
of the plaintiffs, acted with him in committino
fraud, whether such proof would not be com.
plete answer and debar all damages. Apply
ing this to the question at issue with the United
States, he argued that the North and South
were now partners in the Alabama claims If
tne Jaw IN ine case OF persons was good, it
ought to hold in regard to nations =
Earl Granville said the discussion of the
Treaty OF Washington at the present juncture
was undesirable and declined to answer the
question put by Lord Redesdale.
Several Lords expressed regret that Parlia-
ment was the only place where the treaty could
not be mentioned. They declared that the gov
eminent ought to publish the English case and
other documents connected with the Alabama
claims, and give the British people the oppor-
tunlty OF enjoying the advantages which Amer
leans possessed for the discussion of the pend
ing issues. y
Lord Granville again declined to reply, but
SAID II motion was made for the FORMULATION
OF the English case it would be laid before the
Rouse The motion VISA accordingly made and
