Mr.. Disrael then called the attention G
W. the house 10 the paragraph of the royi
ne speech in reference to the arbitration
ce. the Alabama claims He anmadverte
at some length upon the treaty of Was
ria ington, for the faults OF which he blame
ch the foreign secretary, Earl Granville, an
- Premier Gladstone. In view Of the d
"" velopments which had been made by Il
'rk assembly of arbitrators of fGencva, DisraC
wanted to know why the government "
exultant over the edlilcation il had give
'p- to parliament on the subject. The roy
in speech was signally unsatisfactory al
a. showed, in his opinion that the govern,ne
"0 still lacked II proper appreciation of {
gravity Of the question at issue betwe,
England and the United States. T.
American claim, were greater than tho
which would follow u total conquc,
They were prepostcrOus and unpractics
= and, il admitted, would be fatal to y
power and honor of England. Yet, sa
Disraelli snceringly, the whole subject
disposed of in one brief paragraph of Il
n royal speech
IS Mr.. Gladstone followed in reply. II
'or said that the treaty of Washington i,se
he shows that England Is ready to mai
nd every concession, short of national hon
III to establish friendly relations with Anne
,ut lea, and To set an example to DO follow
vas hcnceforth. THE government said {
nd. premier, SIS ready to explain evcrythii
of in connection with the treaty, but it W
not not admit that it has unwttingly made
run mistake The paragraph in the spec
en- is the only fair and unmistakaLle int,
pi- pretation of the treaty. lie could, if d
pa sired, refer to the preposterous charact
in of the American demands. which, of
he self, proved their absurdity, for they we
ny such as no people in tho last extremity
cir war or IN the lowest depths OF nation
raj misfortunes, with the spirit Of the peop
us of England in their hearts, would ev
by submit to. Cheers. Mr.. Gladstone co
I'VE cluded by saying the government wou
On maintain the position 1t had taken firml
wn though in friendly manner.
