through the lakes, forests and the Rocky
Mountains.
In the House of Commons to-day Mr..
Gladstone made a statement of the present
condition of the Alabama negotiations.
The main point was that a proposition had
been made to the United States for post
pOnement of the meeting of the board of
arbitration at Geneva for eight months.
This information had already been antici-
pated by late cable dispatches to the
English press from America, which stated
that the letter of Earl Granville making the
proposition had been published there in
full.
Nj. Osborne asked whether the dispatch
purporting to be from Earl Granville, pro-
posing adjournment of the Geneva tri-
bunal, was genuine. If so, he considered
it humiliating and undignifed.
Mr. Gladstone replied that the dispatch
was genuine, and defended the proposition
it contained as honorable to both countries.
Mr. Disraeh strongly opposed leaving the
question open for eight months, particularly
while a heated Presidential contest was in
progress in the United States. This cOun-
try had been kept too long in the dark. He
believed the policy of the government
would end in disaster and disgrace.
Messrs. Gordon and Bentwick, Lord Var
mouth, Sir g. s. JenkinsOn, Mr.. Watney
and others, severely criticised the govern
ment, expressing a want of confidence in
its future proceedings.
Mr.. Gladstone defended the action of the
government at great length, and closed
with the declaration that it would be crime
to deviate hairs breadth from the original
position.
In the House of Lords Earl Granville
made his statement. He said that on Sat
urday last it became clear that the British
| and American governments would fail, for
( want of time, to come to an agreement with
regard to the supplemental article. The
difficulty between them related solely
to the bearing its conditions were to
have in future. Americans considered
the English objections hypOcritieal We
had consented to the idea of the adjourn
ment of the Geneva board to give time for
the removal Of difficulties. Tomorrow the
British agent and representatives would
start for Geneva, for it would be dignified
and courteous to appear before the arbi-
traitors, whatever circumstances might be.
Decisive instructions and full powers had
been given them.
The London papers of this morning COM
ment at length on the boat race of yester-
day, and, in some. instances, with severity
toward the Atalanta crew. The Times
says the Americans have not vet ACQUIRED
the true style of rowing. It hopes they
will learn it, and then put English Oarsmen
to a severer test than that of yesterday.
The Post says the result shows that there
is nothing in rowing to learn nom Ameri-
cans who, IN the preparations for the race
had everything their own way.
The Telegraph looks upon the race as an
illustration Of English national energy.
The Standard says a more hollow affair
was never witnessed, and that the Amen-
can crew is not good enough to win an or
dinary country regatta
