A Conference Of European Powers In
Behalf Of the Prosecuted Jews.

|
vile, seconded by the Italian Govern
ment, has proposed conference OF th
European powers 10 consider the cours
to be adopted In view ol the constant re
currenco 0i barbarous outbursts agains
the Jews in Roumania, and the prophet,
OF exerting direct pressure on the Rou
mantan government 10 compel preventive
measures.
Prince Gortschakof, In reply to Ear
Granville's proposal, sympathizes will
the perSecuted Jews, but apprehendi
that the course proposed would only
excite the agitation Of the EasterI
question, and that therefore he Is no
willing to enter into such conference
He proposes, a joint note to the Rouma,
ntan government as To its intentions and
guarantees, that 1t can afford protection Il
the Jews, and thinks that this woulc
awaken 1t TO some sense oi It's responsible
ties. Should the reply to his proposal bt
unsatisfactory, he would suggest a settle
ment on the basis Of the treaty Of 1858
Prussia takes the same ground. The an
swers OF the other powers are not We
known, but It Is probable that the sugges
tion Of Gortschakoff will be adopted.
THE BOAT RACE.
A London dispatch says that the time O
the London crew in the boat race wa!
2l minutes and 0 seconds, with the At
alantas AZ seconds behind, and that theil
whole time was good. The London Jour.
mails put the time of the winners at 81 min
utes and 10 seconds, over the course Of
tour miles, and two furlongs
LONDON, June 1.-THE 7fnes OF this
morning, commenting on the boat race
says the Americans have not yet acquired
the true style of rowing, and hopes tha,
they will learn It and then put the En-.
glish oarsmen to seyerer test than thai
Of yesterday.
The Post says the result shows there is
nothing in nrowing to learn from the Amer.
leans, who in preparations for the race
had everything their own way.
The Daily Telegraph says this race H.
lustrates our National energy, stalwart
strength and dogged adherence to the
ways we deem best to hold their OWE
against the dash and daring of our Ameri.
can kinsfolks Both crews belong to the
Saxon race, which Is the only one which
has nerve and pluck to preserve many
sports when thetables are turned and our
neighbos across the water will win a
victory and shall regard 1t as an English
triumph.
The Standard declares that q more
hollow affair was never witnessed. The
Americans were not good enough to win
an ordinary country regatta. The effect
will be to prevent the recurrence OF the
International matches for some years.
The moral to be drawn Is that the Ameri-
can oarsmen must learn the first elements
before coming three Thousand miles to row.
LONDON, June 11.-Captain Cameron
Is gazetted as surveyor OF the boundary
line between the United States and the
Dominion OF Canada,
In the House of Commons today
Gladstone made a statement of the con.
ton OF the Alabama negotiations, the main
point OF which was that of the proposal
had been made to the United States for the
postponement ofthe meeting Of the Board
Of Arbitration at Geneva for eight months
This information had already been anti
cipated by the late cable dispatches to the
English press from America, which state
that the letter of Earl Granville making
the proposition has been published there
in full.
Mr.. Osborn asked II the dispatch pur.
porting to be from Earl Granville, pro.
posing the adjournment Of the Genevs
tribunal, was genuine. he considered Il
humiliating and undignified.
Mr.. Gladstone replied the dispatch was
genuine, and he defended the proposition
1t contained, and considered honorable by
both countries.
Mr.. Disraelli strongly opposed leaving
the question open for eight months, par.
ticularly while a heated Presidential con,
test 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 dishonor and
disgrace.
Gordon and Bentwick, Lord Tarmolh
Sir g. y. Jenkenson, Mr.. Watney and
others were severely criticised by the
government for expressing a want Of con
idence in its future proceedings.
Mr.. Gladstone defended the action O
the government at great length and
closed with the declaration that 1t would
be crime to deviate a hairs breadth
from its original position in the House o
Lords,
Mr.. Granville made his statement. HI
said that on Saturday last it became cleal
that the British and American govern
ments would fail for want OF time
to come to an agreement with re
gard TO the supplemental article. Til.
difficulty between them related solely Il
the bearing It's conditions were TO have ii
the future, Americans considered the
English objections hypocritical. BE haG
consented TO the idea OF the adjournment
of the Geneva Board to give time Tor the
removal Of the difficulties. Tomorrow
the British agents and Representative
would start for Geneva for 1t would bt
digni6ed and courteous TO appear before
the arbltrators whatever the cncum
stances might be. The decisive instruc'
tions and full powers had been given
them.
Lord Cairns expressed astonishment
but said the House was accustomed 70
surprises on this subject. He supposed thai
the eight months adjournment was made
in the hope that something would turn W
and help the government out Of the pre-
dicament. ...
Earl Granville said he must hesitate tc
accept Lord Cairns criticisms, because O
the insccuracy Of his speech.
The marquis Of Salisbury believed ttY
the Americans were urging as strongly a
ever their indirect claims. England
had Jailed TO maintain her DO
sition. he felt there was ground fol
distrust Parliament had srbsisted toC
long on scraps Of information supplleC
through the corruption or indiscretion o
American officials. The House wanteC
to know what the terms were on which
England consented to proceed with thC
arbitration.
