KILOGRAMS TO the NEW ysRx HERALD.

LONDON, May 2, 1873.
In the House OF Commons tonight Lord George
Hamilton, member for Middlesex, called attention
TO the nature OF the reference to the treaty OF
ls4o, which, under the Treaty of Washington, was
submitted together with the Northwestern Boun-
dary question, to the decision OF the German
Emperor He regretted that the English govern
ment had allowed upon that part OF the oregon
Treaty an interpre tatOn fatal to the just claims OF
England. Rosario Strait, long after 1916, was the
only Known nayigasie channel between Oregon
and Vancouyer's Island and hence was und0Hbt-
eddy the channel indicated in the treaty Of 1885,
Yet the government, with unhappy ingenuity, ex-
caded the arbitrator from the consideration OF this
particular channel. He found no fault with the
Emperor William. He thought the Geneva arbi-
traitors would have acted more wisely had they
anticipated his method, and confined themselves to
rendering their decision without giving the rea-
sons therefor. Lord Hamilton said he would make
no motion, anu only desired to obtain from the
House such an expression OF opinion as would
discourage the making OF treaties hereafter on the
s'give all. take nothing" principle.
Captain Bac- COchrane. Member for the Isle OF
Wight, said Earl Granville's foreign policy had
always been the reverse OF that OF Aberdeen,
Palmerston. Russell and Stanley. 1t had recently
given to Russia 500 miles OF frontier In Asia. The
negotiations with the United states had been pur-
Citation ana humiliation.
Viscount Enfield, Under Secretary for the Foreign
Department. defended Earl Granville and vndi-
Gated the course he had taken. The Northwestern
boundary question was an intrlca TIC one, and none
was better adapted for arbitration. He traced the
history OF the boundary dispute, the successive ne
gotatons ana final settlement. As an English
man he regretted the decision, but he cheeriuly
and ungrudgingly accepted 1t.
w hou ,l,arfo Wnc Grp
land, regarded the Empcror's decision as o natural
one, because the concessions in the Washington
Treaty excluded evidence which might have led to
o different result.
Mr.. Eastwlck, member for Pcnryn, thought the
government should have insisted on strict ad-
hcrence to the terms OF the treaty OF 1s46, In
which the word ''mid-channew was plainly used.
viscount Bury, member for Derwick-on-Tweed,
could not but feel that the Emperor's decision was
serious blow but 1t would be q waste OF time TO
reopen the negotiation. Probably arbitration
would soon be required again to settle the bound
airy line between Alaska and British Columbia.
Lord John Manners me nber Tor Nor til Leicester
shire, said the government was unwise in consent
ing to restricted instead or open arbitration.
Mr.. Gladstone csntended that restricted arbitra-
ton was better than none. While the English had
been defeated he showed that arbitration had re-
moved the causes or irritation and restored friend
Illness between two great nations.
The subject was then dropped

TRIAL.
In the Tichborne trial to-day the French tutors
OF Sir Roger Tichborne were examined, and gave

OF the claimant.
