EXTRAORDINARY RuMoRs

lowing
"PrivAte letters received in this city from
persons Of high official position 10 London
make most extraordiary statement In regard
to the origin Of the marked dstrust with which
both the English Government and leading
members of her Majesty's opposition have re.
ceived all the propositions OF our Administra-
ton relative 10 the Alabama treaty. II /. that
well-iutormrd Englishmen believe the Ameri-
can Government to have undertaken secret
negotiations with the arbitTatOrs, or with some
at thcm, at Geneva. 1t Is alleged that large
sun 70 money ESQ, 900 sterling Is namely was
drawn from the japanese indemnity fund, or
from some other secret service resource, by
the United states Foreign Oiiicc, and that this
money was paid By banking house IN Loudou

law with ex Governor II ines, was
admitted to the bar in 1912. lie was
the first Mayor Of the city OF Burlington,
aud from the beginning Of his political
career was a leading spirit among the
Democracy of New jersey. Upon the
breaking out of the troubles between
the North aud South, Mr. Wall took
strong grounds against coercion. Sep
tcmber llth, 1861, he was suddenly
and arbitrarily arrested in his home in
Burlington, on telegraphic order from
Secretary Simon Cameron. lie made
desperate resistance, but WAS over.

The Washington Treaty.

A despatch from Washington says in
very decided terms that the President
admits the failure Of tho Treaty Of
Washington so far as concerns the Ala
bama claims On the receipt ola note
from lord Granville as to the manner
of disposing of the business Of arbltra-
ton on the 18th Mr. Schenck was in.
formed that this Government declined
being a party to joint application for
an adjournment of the arbitration, aud
he was therefore instructed to abandon
it. lie was further told that if the
British Government have the right or
desire to withdraw from the arbitration,
or 10 cancel the appointment Of their
arbitrator, it must do SO without asking
the consent OF that ofthe United States.
Such n notice as that suggested in Earl
Granville's note, it is added, would in.
stautly terminate all further negotia-
tons on the part of this Government.
The present position of the Treaty
negotiations was described in the House
of Commons Tuesday night by Mr. Glad.
stone. The principal feature of it was
that a proposal had been made to the
United States to postpone the meeting
of the Board of Arbitration for eight
mouths This proposition, it was stated,
was contained in note from Lord
Granville, which had been published at
length in this country. Mr.. Disraeli
was strongly opposed to having the
question open for eight months They
had been kept 10 the dark too long, aud
the policy of the Government would end
in disaster aud disgrace. Other mem.
beers criticised the action Of the Gov.
ernmeut, and expressed want Of con.
fdence in its future proceedings. Mr.
Gladstone, at much length, defended
the Government, and, concluding, said
that it would be crime to deyiaie n
hairs breadth from its original position.
Lord Granville also stated the case in
the House of Lords, and said that the
British agent and representatives would
20 to Geneva, as it would be dignifed
to appear before the arbitrators, what.
ever the circumstances might be.

As late as Sunday night last Mr. Fish stated
to member Of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs that the negotiations were in such a
condition that the hnal result would be salts
factory to the United States. At the same
time II was well known that an extension of
time would be requested when the arbitrators
snail meet at Geneva on the 18th instant. The
position in relation to postponement seems TO
be about as follows While the United States
will not ask for postponement for eight
tnonths, her representatives will not interpose
any objection to the request Of Great Britain
for such postponment The ADMINISTRATION
however, has no hope Of saving the treaty, but
the eight months postponment will

and an attempt will be made to create the
Impression that the treaty will be saved at the
end OF that time. This will prevent the
excitement that would DO created against the
President for the failure Of the treaty. The
british Government desires the postponment
because it will save the present Ministry, as
the impression will be created abr DAD, as in

the arbitration is postponed further negotia-
