Conversational.

WASHINGTON, February 7.-Sendte The
bill for the distribution of the Geneva award
occupied the entire day.
Mr.. Van Howe, from the Senate Commit
tee on Claims, made an elaborate report upon
the Presidents veto message in the case OF
the bill relieving j. Milton Best, whose pro.
perty at Paducah, Ky, was destroyed for
war purposes. In reviewing the reasons of
the President for the veto, the committee
admit that in some sense the destruction was
caused by the ravages of war, but, in their
opinion, the house taken from the claimant
was for the use of the Government
The message asserts, as general principle
of both international and municipaf law.
that all property is held subject not only to
be taken by the Government for public uses,
in which case under the Constitution Of the
United States the owner is entitled to just
compensation, but is also subject to be tenn
porarily occupied or even actually DESTROYED,
In times of great personal danger, and when
the public safety demands it; and in this
latter case Governments do not admit legal
obligation on their part to compensate the
owner. The committee, taking issue with
the President, say they have not found any
such general principle affirmed, either in in
ternational or municipal law, but have found
the very reverse to be affirmed by all law.
They quote numerous legal authorities and
several congressional precedents in support
OF this view, &c. The report concludes by
recommending the passage of the bill, the
veto Notwithstanding.
On motion of Mr.. Norwood of Georgia,
the bill relieving certain persons in Georgia
and other southern States of their political
disabilities was taken up.
The bill was amended so as to include
some additional names, when Mr.. Flanagan
of Texas, moved to insert the name OF JEFF.
ferson Davis, saying that if the rebels were
to be relieved so freely he wished to relieve
tue chief one and get done with the bust
ness. He demanded the yeas and nays
his amendment, but they were not ordered
A vote was then taken on the bill, which
resulted: ayes, q; noes, mo quorum vo'

During discussion on the bill for Il pro.
fessor of the Spanish language at West Point

The Purchase Of the Cuban Cable.

New York, February Tin explanation
of the recent operations in Western Union
stock, it is said that the recent sale Of fifteen
thousand shares by one Of the executive
committee, which was made to consummate
the bargain in the purchase of the Cuban
telegraph cable, was mistakenly regarded by
"the pool" as a speculative transa ction, and
continued to be so regarded until the execu-
tive committee sanctioned the action of the
president.
Hon. William Orion, by whose direction
tbree-fifths of the Cuban Cable Company
were thus secured, and an acquisition made
to the Western Uaien Company, is Of very
great advantage.

Examine Each Other Before the Gem,
nfftee.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
| WAsHNGroN, February J Speaker. Blaine
| and Mr. Job Stevenson examined each other
before the Credit-Mobilier Committee to-day
The results were very much in Blaine's "a,
vor. The questions of Stevenson related tc
Biaine's subscription to the Iowa Tails and
Sioux City stock, and the Speaker, after q
little tilt with his investigator, said to the
committee, "Ido not propose to be catechised
by Mr.. Stevenson in what should call out
side this committee-room very impudent
manner. The proper course for MIR. Steven.
son would have been, after introducing his
resolution in the House, to come down bere,
give his testimony, and clear out; but in
stead of that he throws out drag.net in the
House to catchthe Speaker, and then comes
down here as counter-attorney, asking me il
the statements he makes are true. ! confess,
sir, | feel indignant at this course. I think
it is SO against common decency" @
Afterwards Blaine put Stevenson on the
stand and demanded to know what animus
he had in introducing the resolution he did
in the House, but Judge Poland refused to
so into that question. Stevenson became
very much excited, and but for the perslrl-
sire remonstrances OF the chairman Of the
committee first-class sensation might have
resulted. AS it was the committee did not
consider it necessary to investigate the trans
actions between the Speaker and the Co
burns, from whom he bought his stock and
adjourned into secret session, thus pouring
oil upon the troubled waters. TIMoN.

LosDoH, February Tin the House d
| commons yesterday notice was given of fbt
introduction Of bills providing for the aboli
tlon OF capital punishment, looking to Tho
establishment OF o Rrotectorate over the
FceJee islands, providing that all treaties
| made between Great Britain and foreign
Powers must receive the ratification OF Par.
lament, legaiizing marriage with deceased
wife's sister, and providing for the purchase
of the English railways by the Government.
In the House to-day Captain BailEe Coch-
rane made bong speech criticising the Treaty
OF Washington. He, charged the Govern.
ment with surrendering English honor and
sacrificing the interests of Canada;
Mr. Percy Wyndham followed in condeni-
nation of the treaty and its results.
Mr.. Laing defended the policy of the
Government. He denied that the treaty had
made great change in international law.
What change it did make, however. was
necessary, and it was highly advantageous to
England with her vast commerce on every
sea. He hoped the lesson the country had
received in this Alabama business would be
3 salutary one for all nations.
Mr.. Hugesson, under Secretary for The
Colonies, protested against the needless dis
cussion at this late day over the Washington
treaty. ! It was the greatest mistake to sup
pose that Canadian interests had been in
jured by it. The Canadians themselves
thought otherwise.
Sir Charles Adderly regarded with alarm
the doctrine that England was responsible.
for the acts of colonial officials.
The subject was then dropped.
Mr.. Jacob Bright introduced bill to re-
move electoral disabilities from women.
In the House Of Lords this evening the
Earl of Carnaryon inquired whether there
was any convention with SpaiH by which
the officers and crew of the steamer Murillo
might be held to answer for the disaster to
the ship Northfeet.
The Earl Of Lauderdale expressed the
opinion that no criminal proceedings would
hold against the officers of the Murillo unless
it could be proved that manslaughter had
been committed. ~.
Earl Granville conceded with the last
speaker as to the legal aspect Of the case.
Lord Roserbery wanted to know what had
occurred to prevent the completion of the
treaty with the United States supplementary
to the treaty of Washington.
In reply Earl Granvill stated that the
treaty was now in process of negotiation
with the United States, based upon the pro-
posals made by the American Government
last year.
