says that the award Of the Geneva Tri-

In the official circles. Attorney General
Williams, who was the only member of
tho Joint High Commission Is now in
Washington, says that the award covers
fully all that the American members ex.
pected could be awarded, while It
seems actually short Of what the Eng.
AhAh members conceded might be due
under the declaration Of Earl Russell as
set fourth In the correspondence between
Minister Adams and the British Prince, As
tor-eStablishing q new principle Of
international law. 1t Is said on the au-
thority oi q representative of the British
Government, now In Washington, who
Is fully posted on the whole question, that
as long ago as 1865, Russell would have
been glad 10 cancel all legitimate claims
against England for more than the amount
awarded BY the Tribunal, provided he
could have gained what has now been ac-
compllshed for a sum less in dollars,
but richer in principle to Great Britian.
The award includes interest, which re.
duces the actual, amount to $1l,2O0,000

NEW York, September 1G.-Judge

duty, and l will add my pleasure,
to contest 1t, and shall do so at

sufficient proof Of frauds cannot be made

me that the great body of the people
throughout the State who supported me,
and those who are associated WITH me,
desire that such contest shall be made, II
sufficient proof can be produced TO make
1t successful, but not otherwise; and II
1t turns out upon the examination now
being made by my friends through the.
Executive Committee, that substantial
ground for contest can be established, l
will contest the election and vindicate
