The official correspondence between the British
and American Governments with reference TO the
arbitration of the Alabama claims at Geneva Is pub
lished this morning It consists OF seyenty-tnree
dispatches. 70 e.l ~
Count sclopis, the President Of the Tribunal Of
Arbitration, did not propose the adjournment OF the
Conrt on Saturday, as it was reported he would do
The summary of the British argument was accom-
panied by protest reserving the right OF England
to withdraw from the arbitration If the negotiations
with the American Government relative to the in
direct claims fail to result satisfactorily to the Gov
ernment of the former country.
The proceedings before the Tribunal of Arbitration
are carried on partly in English and partly in
French Hopeful expectations of the result OF the
arbitration are raised.
NO COPY OF GREAT BRITAIN's ARGUMENT PRE-
sRNTED AT GENEvA-THE FISHERY CUES
LONDON. Monday, June II, 1917.
In the House of Lords, this evening, Lord Cairns
asked whether the report that printed copy OF the
argument for Great Britain had been presented at
Geneva was truef
Earl Granville replied that he had already stated
what England would do at Geneva, and refused to
disclose what he privately knew.
Lord Cairns said the answer was unintelhgible,
and he repeated his question. C ...
Earl Granville-The argument has not been pre-
sented or l.r,.
The brevity of the reply provoked much laughter
In the House Of Commons, this afternoon, Mr'
Hugessen replying to question from Mr' Coeh-
rane, said that the American Government had ap-
Piled for the provisional enjoyment of the privileges
secured by the Fishery clauses of the Treaty OF
Washington in the waters of the British North
American possessions during the fishing season.
Canada had refused, but Newfoundland and Prince
Edwards Island had given their consent as..
To inquiries made by Mr.. Bouverie and Lord Cecil
with reference TO the proceedings at Geneva, Mr.
Gladstone replied that the report that summary
of the British argument on the Alabama claims had
been presented at Geneva was incorrect. Great
Britain had made application to the Arbitrators for
an adjournment, doing so in reliance on Secretary
Fishps dispatch IL was possible the Arbitrators
might not come to decision this question in to-

CHRISTIAN syojiBBIsHsRss:;

The following paragraph appears
in tie New York lndepeadtat Of
October 81. and reminds as Of just
another kindpf outrage committed
in this city not many years ago BY
q religions denomination, on its
colored adherents who aided in the
construction Of a church and as
soon as it was completed, they were
coolly "pigeon-holed" in a small
gallery, while the body Of the build
ing was devoted to the white mem.
bers Of the congregation:
"There is a Young Women1
Christian Association at Hartford
which refuses to let any but Evan
gelical churchmembers take part Id
its work; and, with entire consist
ency, excludes colored girls from
it's building. Ayoung lady Of re.
fnement recently sought to avail
herself Of the advantages Of the 60
ciety, and was most cordiallyswel-
coined, until she revealed the fact;
which none Of the managers had
suspected, that she wasan Octoroon:
Then she was told that her case
would be considered; and, after
much debate in the board cf man
agers, it has at length been voted
that *as measure of Christian ex-
pediency' young women Of color
must not be admitted to the associ-
alton. The colored Christians Of
Hartford made generous contribu-
tons toward the funds Of this So
ciety. Christian expediency did not
forbid that; but it shuts their young
women out from its benefits. It Isl
unnecessary to say that Christian
expediency,' as illustrated by these
Hartford E-van-gelicals, is nothing
but snobbishness. The line of di4
vision between such Christianity as
they represent and Pharisaism il
would be very hard TO draw"
