LONDON, June 2.-In the House of Com
mons tonight the usual motion was made
to adjourn over Derby day. Sir Wilfnrd
Lawson opposed adjournment, but the mo-
ton was carried by 243 to 69.
George Anderson, member for Glasgow,
called attention to losses of British subjects
through the escape of the Alabama, and
other causes.
He complained of the high-handed man
ner in which the late government had pre-
vented timely criticism of the treaty Of
Washington. There were three classes OF
British subjects who deserved cOmpensar
ton.
l. Residents in the Southern COnfederacy
who lost their property through the inabili-
ty Ofthe United States to enforce lows.
2. Those whose property was destroyed
after Lees surrender.
3. Owners of goods on board prizes of
Confederate cruisers.
He believed the United States were will
ing to recognize these claims.
Anderson then moved that in the opinion
of the House, it is wrong that individuale
should suffer severe loss through national
wrong doing, that as England has been adju-
Dictated at fault in permitting the ESCAPE Of
the Alabama, and has com pensated Americans
for losses incurred thereby, similar com-
pensation is due to the Bri: ish sufferers FROM
the same cause.
Burke, Under Secretary of the Foreign
Department., replying, declined to enter up
on discussion Of the merits of the treaty.
The Washington Joint High Commissioners
had decided the United States Govern
ment was not responsible for the acts Of
rebels, as that Government had agreed to
appoint a commission to examine claims for
losses arising after Lees surrender. He
hoped thesubject before the House would
not be pressed. The motion was then mega
lived.
