Americans had arranged some pleasant excur.

mad long consultation with the British counsel
AT the Hotel des Bergnes. In fact, the British

evident that unless the counsel on both sides
come TO some agreement tonight, acting upop
the instructions OF their governments the court
Will again meeton Wednesday pro forma and be
requested once more to adjourn. In that event
ment for several days, because the agents OF
both parties find that the interval of

are at greater disadvantage, as their communi-
catlons mrs. De sent to London, and then TO

an adjournment will enable one or both sides to
su1d ,ea Their ground, or consent to certain
modihcations which could not have been done
pe1ore, without exposing themselves TO the
charge CT having given way to the dictation of
ahe opposite side: 1t is very evident that efforts
are being made to adjourn until next week. in
hopes that Granville and Fish may in the mean
time arrive at some understanding, and enable
the arbitrators to commence their work.
