THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
MIR. Charles Francis Adams Inter-
viewed,

The telegraph has mentioned the arrival of
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, American mem
ber Of the Geneva Court of Arbitration, In
New York, on the 2lst instant. He appears to
have been promptly set upon by the inter-
viewers. The Herald reporter makes him
say:
Mr.. Adams. So far nothing has occurred
which warrants my saying that the treaty will
be failure. left London when the greatest
excitement prevailed. IL was on the evening
when Mr.. Gladstone made his hasy, inconsid-
crate speech, which read just before my de-
parture. But since then Mr.. Gladstone has
modified his language. In his two following
speeches he took back much Of what he had
said at first.
Reporter. Is there any likelihood that the
British Government will consent to pay the
consequent damages In lump sum outside of
arbitration
Mr.. Adams. The real question Is not about
paying damages, but about admitting the claim
of consequential damages within the prov
ince OF the court of arbitration. Mr. Gladstone
holds that such claim Is not recognized BY
the treaty, and has also declared himself
against the payment of consequential dam
ages in lump sum.
BV the reporter for the World, Mr. Adams ia
represented as explaining that the excitement
in England was, after all, nothing more than
newspaper war, and that, though not pre-
parrd for the question Of Indirect damages,
Eng shmen of business with whom he hai
pay 1t, and have the whole amount sponged
ont. Mr.. Adams, says the reporter stated
that he thought 1t reasonable to refer our
claims under the treaty to The Geneva court,
which could, on the evidence, reject or ap-
prove them, as justice demanded.
