Excitement Over the Alabama
Matter

WASHINGTON, February G There has
been the greatest interest here to day in
all quarters to. learn the tehot of the
Queens speech on the extraordinary
demand made by the American coun-
selors for consequential damages in the
Alabama claims matter before the Gen
eva Conference, but it was not satisfied
until tonight, when the document ar.
rived. In it the point is boldly made
that the English Government did not
understand that constructive damages
were considered by the arbitrators, and
that friendly message had been sent
to the Government of the United States
on the subject. This official confrma-
ton Of the excited statements of the
London press has, naturally ehough;
caused tremendous futter here. The
Administration was not prepared to ex-
pect any such news, for the discussions
in Cabinet to day over newspaper tele-
grams indicated that no one believed
that any official correspondence would
result The general opinion here is to
the effect that neither the Administra-
ton nor the Senate last spring were of
the opinion that the treaty covered con-
structive damages, and the fact that so
specific demand for them is made in
the American case elicits severe com
ment. The message to which the Queen
alluded has not been received by the
State Department

HThe demand fer pistols, writes a
New Yord correspondent, is decidedly
on the increase. There is so much said
about shooting in the papers that every
man of spirit feels incomplete without
his revolver. There are a score of
shooting galleries in or near Broadway,
and these are generally full of incipi
ent marksmen The invariable sign
displayed at these establishments is a
gentleman with pistol, carved out of
board, and neatly painted. If you
go into one of these places of an even
ing you will see crowd of young men
practicing with their revolvers, and you
can occasionally find here as good a
shot as is to be met among the trappers
of the West. If you advise any of this
class to refrain from carrying such
weapons, the reply is generally the
same: "We do it in self-6efense.'
