Inefe ere some reasons for belisvins tbsf
Chief Justice Cockburn, the British 80;
traitor at Geneva, 10 anxious to see the n,s.-
ent Gladstone Ministry deposed, a he ~,
have aided in creating the present excitemen,
in London. But the case is before the Genev.
Tribunal Of Arbitration, to which the Oueen
Of England agreed to refer all complaints and
claims on the part Of the United States, and
neither party has q right to withdraw its case
when once presented, although it is intimated
that Mr.. Fish threatened to withdraw from
before the Joint Claims Commission here II
the Confederate war debt was considered. II
is hardly probable, however that Great Brit.
ain, after all that has been said about the
conservation of the pacific principle of arbi.
tration by the Treaty of Washington, will
now withdraw her representative and her
claim. At any rate, those who should know
take no stock in the sensational stories of the
New York papers, although there may be
some hitch in the negotiations.
The correspondent of the Advertiser says !:
There is no evidence whatever in official cir
Giles of alarm or solicitude over the news from
England, and still less indication that this
government intends to change its position or
modify its demands before the Geneva tri-
bunal. The disturbance is generally inter-
preted as diversion against the Gladstone
sprung at this time for the purpose
of influencing Parliament, and of embarras-
sing the English cabinet. The State depart
ment has no official information to-day be-
yond despatch from Minister Schenck, the
contents of which have not been made pub
lie, and none of members of Congress promi-
nently connected with foreign affairs attach
particular Importance to the movement.
Nothing has been done or attempted in either
branch of Congress to-day in reference to the
matter, though General Banks would have
offered resolution calling on the State de-
partment for information, if he could have
got the opportunity during the flibustering
whic hoccupied the session.

But for the last twenty five years this impera-

favor of uniform compliance with the re-
