Discussion of the Alabama Claims.
LONDON, May 27.-The question of the
Alabama claims was discussed ia the
House of Commons yesterday. Mr.. Bent
wick declared the government policy hui
initiating and degrading. He said the
English government should have broken
negotiation at time when no sense of
shame would have been left England. The
arbitration was the greatest monument of
human folly.
Sir Stafford Northcote admitted that
during the negotiation of the treaty he
had not infinitely examined the conse-
quences for British subjects, of fixing the
end of war at General Lees surrender.
Mr.. Gladstone said the advancement of
the indirect claims by the American
government was gigantic error. In all
other respects he defended the course the
arbitration had taken.
The debate here closed and the item
was agreed 10.
