QUESTIONS IN PARLAMENT-EARL GRANVILLE
REFUSES TO GIVE INFoRMATIoN--rHE LON
DON TIMES CONSIDERS TIE FAILURE OF
ARBITRATION INEVITABLE.
LONDON, Friday May 81. 1871.
In the House of Lords tonight, the Earl Of Derby
urged the Government to produce the text OF the
supplemental article to the Treaty of Washington
with the Senate's amendments, saying the House
needed thorough understanding of the present
position Of the negotiations Earl Granville replied
that the American Congress would adjourn on Mon
day; the negotiations had not yet been brought to
close hence it would be impossible FOX the Govern
ment to comply with the demands Of the noble lord
Earl Gray wished to know whether the Govern
ment would proceed with arbitration If the indirect
claims should not be withdrawn. The country, no
said, regarded the situation with great ALARM
Earl Granville declined to answer this question He
Indignantly denied that the Government had in
volyed the country in trouble.
Lord Cairns said tho Government was straininRa
principle in refusing to submit the documents The
Marquis Of Salisbury begged to be informed whst
instructions had been given to the British TeDresen-
tatves before the Geneva Board as to their action
in case the American Government should not with
draw tho indirect claims. Earl Granville again de-
clined to answer.
Lord Westbury advised the Government to mako
a complete declaration Earl Granville replied that
the Government were frequently favored with Lord
Westburys advice and suggested the improperly OF
repeating questions when warning had twice been
given that answers were at present impossible. no
advised that nvectiyes be reserved for an occasion
when the Government could defend themselves,
when they could clear themselves from insnuauons
without foundation thrown upon them.
In the House Of Commons, in reply TO MI Dis-
raell's inquiries for information, Mr. Gladstone
promised to give him satisfactory answers when tho
American Congress had adjourned.
The Times to-day asserts that there never has been
any genuine agreement between England and
America touching the indirect claims. 1t cannot
help thinking that by the official kilograms on the
subject that had been communicated directly to tho
foreign ministers Of either Government, instead OK
being filtered through medium, the chasm which
separated them would have been recognized longag
with the correspondence before us" concludes me
Times, I'VE must consider the failure of arbitration
inevitable We may thank the American Senate for
this. Had it accepted the supplemental article,
without amendment our position would have been
awkward

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Friday, N

WAsHINGTON, Friday, May 81 lSl7'
The House Military Committee las voted to report
the testimony taken in the War Department records
investigation to the House, before the adjournment, in
order that it may be printed and made public. Several
members of the Committee protested against sitting
with closed doors from tho commencement OF the in
yestigatOn, and the day for final adjournment drew
near, these gentlemen began to fear thst no report
would be agreed upon in time for presentation and that,
consequently, the Committee would have to bear the
odiun of conducting in secret an inquiry OF general In
teres to the public and suppressng the results arrived
at They objected strongly 10 having the Committee
placed in such an undesirable attitude and their argu-
ments have appears prevailed at last There Is good
authority for stating that THE TRBUNEs Information
relating to tho evidence thus far taken has been sub
stantally correct. Mr.. Cunningham did testify, as
stated in these dispatches and cOnradicted elsewhere
that the headquarters reports were missing The
Secretary OF War; however, contradicts Cunninghams
evidence to-day and testified that the reports were not
missing Much Of the other evidence Is contradictory,
and probably nothngbut patient and searching e4a

mutilation have been carried.

Beside the vote the Force BILL and the action on the
Tariff the business by the House to-day was OF no
special interest. large number OF Senate bills, and
House bills with Senate amendments, upon the Speakers
table were disposed Of the unmportant ones by pas
sage and the others by reference to Committees. The
House was IN no humOr to pass anything that appeared
in the smallest degree questionable, and an early adj
ournment was effected, the members making an mme-
te and general rush for the Senate to bear the close
OF Mr.. Summers speech.
The Secretary of War had narrow escape from being
accidentally shot yesterday. He was examining mag
azne rifle called the Meigs gum which the inventor had
brought 10 him, when the piece exploded prematurey.
Fortunately damage was done other than the break

from the printers about o'clock to-day Mr. Dawes was
first disposed TO move TO in oil tho amend

raised by q score of members around him
that he modified his motion, and agreed that
such amendments as a separate vote was desired upon
should be excepted from the motion. largo number
of members got the absurd idea INTO their heads that
separate vote against the amendments they did not Ike
would In some inexplcabe way, be moro elective 10
defeat them than II they were included In gen,
eral non-concurrence. great deal OF noise anu
confusion resulted from this curious MISUNDERSTANDING.
Mr. Dawes managed to set things right after whle Dy
