LONDON, June 28.-The statement of
Granville and Gladstone in Parliament.
last night, announcing the decision of
the tribunal OF arbitration on the indi-
rect claims. was the subject Of the lead
ing editorial articles of all the london
morning journals. The Times says the
decision OF the tribunal of arbitration is
eminently satisfactory. All Englishmen
and Americans ought to be gratified to
the arbitrators, who have proved them
selves true benefaotors of both England
and America. Tho man who rescued
America from discredit is Charles Francis
Adams. The Ne,Os says the result Of the
indirect claims controversy is great
triumph for the frmness and patience of
the British Ministry. Society has now
an example for the employment of a

between the two Governments have been
settled.
