February that indirect claims were not

tary Fish replied in April that he
thought the Geneva Board ought to
decide the entire question. The
tone Of Mr. Fish's dispatch was most
courteous. In they meantime 4 com.
munication was received from Mr.,
Scheuck, the American Mioister, sug'
costing another coSrse, which would
be acceptable to England and America.
There was an interchange of words
setting forth his views Of the terms

agree to proceed to arbitration.
We accepted this suggestion, oon-

On Wednesday the 9th inst, Presi.
dent Grant submitted the proposition
to the U. s. Senate. On Thursday
we ascertaioed that the proposition was
not precisely as We understood it
should be, because Of the brevity of
the cable dispatches on which it was
based. On Friday a draft covering
tho letter Of our views was forwarded

The old clock ticked ON the mantle,

the long coveted blue silk was display
