WHO is TO BLAMEl
The responsibility for all the trouble and
public anxiety which has arisen ont of the
silly consequential damages theory il
charged to the desire of Secretary Fish and
Bancroft Davis to make a great show and
buster and brighten the English govern :
ment. The result is apparent. The eOnse-
quentlal damages are presented and urged.
They were demanded. The Secretary said.
in effect, that the claims should not be with
drawn; that they must go before the arbi-
traitors, and on this the United States gov
eminent would be firm. This the English
government would not listen to, and took a
firm stand. Then the administration gave
England 60 understand that we did not de-
sire any money in settlement. lint that We
wanted the principle settled by the arbi-
traitors, so that it would never arise again.
Still the English refused, and dictated
an adQluOnal arucle TO the effect that no
claims for consequential damages would he
made. The Secretary Swallowed this. but
the President, to escape the responsibility
on matter for which he was responsible.
sent it to the Senate. The administration
Senate consented to the additional article
but amended it so as TO make the article a
principle to be observed in cases arising in
the future. The English government re-
fused to accept this. The arbitration has
decided that the claims have no business to
be presentedu under the treaty, and the ad-
ministration Is just where it was, with the
exception that it is humikated BY the con-
seriousness that it attempted to accomplish
wonders and signally failed.

during the Jubilee performance on Friday
last. Poor Mr.. Arbuckle was playing

What was odd was that the screams las the

WASHINGTON, June 23.-All the members
of the administration now in town are
said to be elated over the new turn which
the treaty complications have taken, and
there seems to be no doubt this time that
the controversy arising cut of the Alabama
claims will be speedily and amicably
closed. Indeed, it may be said that all con-
trOversy has ceased already, by the decision
of the board of arbitrators that the indirect
damages claimed by the United States in
connection with the Alabama claims were
not within their duties, and could not, there
fore. be entertained by them

damages, claiming that he has suffered that

HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

Inquiry has been made during the past
two days, of competent official authority, as
to how the subject came before the board,
inasmuch as the British government has
not assented to the amended supplemental
article, and, therefore, could not bring the
subject officially before the board any more
than the United States government could
The answer was that the arbitratOrs had
technical jurisdiction of the matter; that
the cases of the two governments have
been submitted, practically, to the board,
and that the American case indicated a de
termination to assert claims for indirect
damages. The English case, in the same
way, was submitted, but without anv
proofs, as was the case with the United
States.
The board having been notified by the
English government that an adjournment
would be desirable, in order that addi-
tional negotiations might be carried on with
the United States on the subject of indirect
damages, the members at once went into a
discussion of the question of adjournment,
when, in the course of the deliberations
the subject of the consequential damages
came up, and finally the members of the
tribunal decided that the claim could not
be considered, and thus the matter rests.
Both governments are relieved from further
anxiety upon the subject, and the arbitra-
ton will now proceed. Perhaps the English
agents may ask for a brief recess. which
will not be opposed, although the counsel
OF the United States are ready to proceed.
Early in the sessions the anestion as tn
whether the board will hear oral arpu-
ments, or whether it will require them To
be printed, will be decided

TO LAST A YEAR.

1t Is not expected that the deliberations
Of the arbitrators will close in less than a
year; among the important questions to
decide Is that as to the liability of the Eng
hsh government for vessels other than the
Alabama and Shenandoah. The English
are sensitive on this point, and Sir Edward
thornton, the English minister here, recently
s ga IL was beyond reason for the United
States to hold the English Government re-
sponslble for the Florida and other similar
vessels. But as nine-tenths of the claims
under dispute are in consequence of the
depredatiOns Of the Alabama and Shenan-
dOah the subject is not Of serious signif-
canoe.
The board will also have to decide as to
how the claims shall be paid; whether a
sum in gross shall be allowed the United

THE HOP.

On the following evening Thursday,
June ~, the annual commencement hop
came off in the dining hall with more than
usual eclat and brilliancy. The st. John
took several fair ladies from the city, who
went to Baton Rouge for the special pur-
pose of joining in the dance. Others from
this city also arrived on the st. Mary. that
connects at DOnaldsOnville with the cars
The city of Baton Rouge and the planta-
lions along the coast were represented by
such an array of beauty and fashion as
have not before assembled since the war.
Governor Warmoth and Captain Great
house, of the st. John, were among the dis
tinguished persons present.
PERTAINING TO THE UNIVERSITY.
Henry A. McCaIlum, of Terrebonne, has

King is a North CaFOlinian by birth.
Since last year much improvement and
many additions have been made in the sew

A Wonderful Saw-Mill.

It's wonderful how these men manage
matters, but sometimes they meet their
match, as very notable gentleman did
here lately. He has mother living in Il
town up the Hudson and like an excel
lent son, he has made frequent trips to
her residence during the summer. His
wife some time ago had little difference
with her mother-in-law, and has held no
intercourse with her for some time. But
never interfering with her husbands ill
ial feelings, she has always listened inter
ested TO the details of a certain business
transaction in which the mother has re-
quired the aid and counsel of her son
SO often lately. 1t was all about saw
mill and the selling thereof. MIR. w.
flew up repeatedly at sudden calls al
ways faithfully reporting the tedious
proceedings bel ween the man who want
ed to buy the saw-mill and his mother,
when he came back. His wife very late
ly was "goiug through" the coat pockets
OF her husband, ,as every loyalwite should,
when she found II scrap Of scented paper,
the fragment OF note, on which was
written in feminine chirography, these
strange words: "Not go until the 9th,
when of course you'll have to see about
the saw-mill and then We need not"
The handwriting on the wall had appear
ed. Mrs. w. needed no help to unriddle
that narrowing tale. Most wives would
have exploded on the arrival OF the per-
fidious man. But NJ, she took counsel
of herself, and patiently waited for the
saw-mill TO turn up. In the meantime
she got further proof in a letter she
found from the mother up the Hudson,
who mildly reproved the son for his neg
lect, and hoped Alice-his wite-didn't
prevent his coming to see his old mother.
The ninth eventuated on Monday.
Sunday the husband carelessly said
"Buter was down to see me Saturday.
The transfer Of mothers saw-mill is TO
be made tomorrow more than likely l
shall have to go up there. 1t do, I'll
get seats and send Allen up to take you
10 Rio Carrotte." Is there an imagina-
ton able to conjure up the tumul,uous
condition of the wiie's mind as the
words "mother's saw-mill' were uttered ?
Wonderful woman she contained her
self in calmness. Monday, after an elab-
crate shaving aud shirting, paterfamilias
kissed the baby and his wife, and with
another allusion to the 'cursed saw-mill,
went down town. Mrs. w. went out
and interviewed an Irish coupe driver,
who holds out on Twenty-second street,
a stones throw from Mr., WIS residence.

City of Woman.

Mrs. Leonowens, in her lecture on
Siam, tells the following: "rhe central
part of the city of Bangkok, in Siam, is
devoted exclusively to the residence OF
some nine thousand women, among
whom no man but the King may enter.
The inhabitants of this inner city are the
thousand woman of the royal harem,
and some eight thousand more, who are
soldiers, artiticers and slaves. This little
world is ruled by women as magistrates,
who administer the laws of the kingdom.
There is no appeal from their decisions.
Prisoners are arrested by sheriffs Of their
own sex. If it is necessary to chain
them, it is done by backsruths of their
own sex. II a disturbance arises, it is
suppressed by force Of five hundred
Amaznns trained from infancy to the use
Of the bow and spear. Meanwhile the
slave women carry on variety OF man
uiac,ures, or go outside the walls TO ill
the fields. The women of higher birth
are 'sealed'.to the king the women may
marry, but their husbands must dwell
outside the walls. The children, if boys,
are banished from the city of women at
six years old only the girls remain. All
the Oriental distinctions of rank are
scrupulously observed within this
strange realm, except that the magis-
tral,s are chosen tor personal character
and wisdom"
Mrs. Leonowens speaks with great
reverence of the woman who was Chief
Justice when she lived in Bangkok, and
tells some remarkable anecdotes of the
courage with which she enforced justice
against offenders far superior to herself
in social rank.

a SUGGESTIVE SMiLE.-In his lecture
delivered at Philadelphia on Thursday
night, George William Curtis met the AS
sertiun that the reduction of the debt,
etc, during the administration of General
Grant, was not due to him, but to the
industry Of the nation by this simile. On
the first night Of the Wilderness fight,
said the speaker, the enemy was gradu-
ally working nearer and nearer to our
lines aids of General Grant came ex-
citedly into his headquarters with reports
that the enemy were approaching. Gen.
Grant quietly listened, and after a while
gave orders Tor the arrangement of his
army. The order caused great surprise
among the officers, who said, "Why,
General, You are cutting off the line of
your retreat !" General Grant respond
ed, "This army has done retreating."
The result, said Mr.. Curtis, you know.
Now General Grant was not then the
army any more than he is now the coun-
try, but the same thing he did then as
General, he has done since as President.
As he inspired the army with confidence
in self, SO he has given the country con-
Fl leLce in itself, and he has set every
wheel and hammer and plow in motion
that Destows upon us prosperity.

NV father had built log hut near the

An eastern paper heard man describ-
ing one of the peculiarities of friend
the other day, in terms substantially as
follows: "Snore! oh no, gncss not-no
name for it ! When you wake up in the
morning and find that the house you
lodge in has moved half mile during
the night by respiratory vehemence of a
fellow lodger, you may get some idea OF
the fellows performances. His landlady
gets her house moved back by turning
his bed round but the neighbors are
beginning to raise objections, and an an
chor has been sent for. I'll bet the house
or the anchor will give way, though, the
first time he turns on the steam. And
you ought to hear him grit his teeth! 1t
sounds like bone mill crushing the back
bone of an elephant. But he has such a
pleasant way of hoping you rested well
when he meets you at breakfast that you
can't bear malice against him."
