SION IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
LONDON Tuesday, June II, 1871.
7, no uonse Of Commons to-day, Mr.. Gladstone
made n statement of the present condition Of the
Alabama negotiations, the main point of which was
that a proposal had been made to the United States
Tor n reinforcement of the meeting Of the Board OF
Arbitration at Geneva for eight months. This in
formation had already been anticipated by late cable
dispatches to the English papers from America
which state that the letter Of Earl Granville making
the proposition had been published there IN full
Mr.. Bernal Osborne asked whether the dispatch,
purporting TO be from Earl Granville proposing an
adjournment Of the Geneva Tribunal, was genuine
He considered it hum iliating and undignihed.
Mr. Gladstone replied that the dispatch was
genuine, aud he defended the proposition II con-
tanned as honorable to both countries.
MIR. Disrael strongly opposed leaving the question
omen for eight months, particularly while heated
Presidential contest was in progress in the United
States This country had been kept too long IN the
dark He believed the policy of the Government
would end in disaster and disgrace
Messrs. Gordon and Bentinck of Norfolk, Lord Var
mouth Sir G. S. Jeukinson, Nh. Watney' ana others
severely criticised the Government expressing want
Of confidence IN its future proceedings.
Mr. Gladstone defended the action OF the UoVerh-
ment at great length and closed with the declaration
that IL wonld be crime to deviate hairs breadth
from the original position.
In the House of Lords, Earl Granville made his
statement. He said that on Saturday 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 Supplementary
Article The difficulty between them related solely
10 the bearing its conditions were to have IN
The future. The Americans considered the English
objections hypercutcal. He had consented to the
idea Of an adjournment 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 dgni6ed and courteous
TO appear before the Arbitrators whatever the cir
cumstances might be. Decisive instructions and
fun powers had been given them.
Lord Cairns expressed his establishment, but the
House was accustomed to surprises ON this subject.
He supposed the eight months adjournment was
made in hope of something turning up and helping
the Government out of the predicament.
Earl Granville said he must hesitate to accept
Lord Cairnss criticisms because Of the inaccuracies
of his speech
The Marquis of Salisbury believed the Americans
were urging strongly ever their indirect CLAIMS
England had failed TO maintain her position lie
felt there was ground for distrust Parliament had
subssted too long on scraps of information supplied
through the corruption OF VI
officials. The House wanted to know what the
terms were on which England consented to proceed
with arbitration.
The Earl Of Kimberley, Colonial Secretary, replied
that neither taunts nor ingenuity could alter the
determination of the Government.
The Earl of Derby objected to personalities in this
debate He asked why did England propose an ad-
iournment of arbitration and why for so long a
hmeR The country had received the news with
surprise and regret.
Earl Granville said the adjournment was made to
date when Parliament and Congress would both
be in session. BE did not see anything alarming.
Earl Grey considered the Government censurable.
lie declared England ought to withdraw from the
Treaty unless the indirect claims were withdrawn.
Loud cheers followed this declaration.

THE LONDON PRESS ON THE BOAT RACE.
4HE AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE
STYLE OF ROwING-AN ILLUSTRATION OF
THE NATIONAL ENERGY OF THE ENGLISH.
LONDON Tuesday June II, 1872
The city press comment as follows on the
International boat-race Of yesterday
The Times gays the simple fact is that the Americans
have not yet learned they have lost the true style OF
rowing They neglect the cardinal principles OF effective
rowing The wonder is that they able TO make
gallant effort with such defective method. We hope
the Americans will learn how to then they may
put our Oarsmen to severer tests.
The Post says the result Of the shows that have
nothing 10 learn from the Americans. The latter
inferior in physique and style. They had everything
their own way. The choice Of water was given them,
delays were conceded and the absence OF coxswains
agreed to and although they rowed two strokes per
minute than the LOndOners, they were easily out
strpped The result cOnvnces that the English style
IA the best now pracced 1t fears the American press
will exaggerate the importance Of the unfortunate foul
which the ATLANTA had toward the close Of the race.
The Daily Telegraph says that this illustrates our
national energy Stalwart strength, and logged adhe
renee TO the ways deem best hold their own against
the dash and daring Of American hnsfolk Both
crews belong race, which is the only
which has the nerve and pluck preserve manly sports
When the tables turned, and neighbors across
the water victory, shall regard ii as an English
triumph.
The Standard declares a hollow affair never
Witnessed. The Americans were not good enough 10
win an ordinary country regatta. The effect will be To
prevent the recurrence Of international matches for
some years The moral TO be drawn is that American
oarsmen must learn the first elements before coming
5000 miles 70 row.
