LONDON, February THE Right Honora-
bic John Evelyn Denison has resigned the
speakership of the House of Commons.
The subject of the Washington treaty
was again discussed in the House of Com
mons to-day. An excited discussion en-
sued. in which Hon. Ralph Osborne said
the Alabama question was one of the most
mOmentOus England has been called to pass
upon within century He compared the
astute lawyers who composed the American
commission with the novices who repre-
sented England, and said the latter had
been completely Outwitted. If, said he,
lawyers had planned the English case, we
could escape the payment of f6000,0 900 ster-
ling;' the American commissioners had
served their country well and achieved a
triumph. ~
Mr. Osborn, continuing, said the trouble
lly at home. The government had armies
which could not march, and ships which
were unseaworthy, and now they had
treaty which they could'nOt stand upon.
Hon: Mr.. Otway, formerly Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs, blamed the gov
ernment for all the trouble which had been
brought about. He thought, however, the
American government would recede from
it's extreme demands; but said in case it did
not, England, having admitted the principle
of indirect claims must be prepared so meet
the enormous demand of the United States.
Mr.. Gladstone and several other members
defended the action of the commissioners.
and of the government, and said they hoped
the American claim for indirect damage
would be withdrawn.
There was no pageant at the opening OF
parliament.
The excitement over the Alabama claims
continues in the newspapers, but the jour
nails which oppose them outright, have be-
come suddenly silent.
The excitement which furnishes CON
venient diversion from the awkward home
topics, is certainly fostered by the govern
ment and any embarrassment it may cause
them in the future, the government can
escape from by an appeal to the popular
prejudice against American extravaganza.
Advices from the Cape of Good Hope
represent the colony crowded with stran-
gers. Murders and robberies abound. A
police reinforcement go out on the next
steamer: in the meantime Judge Lynch is
ruling.
AUGSBURG. February THE ,AHgemeine

Preas says England assumes to be party

out protest of the British commissioners.
