lars awarded by the Geneva Aitur. t
to the Cured sibt,s, was paid Into the
Treasury and invested in FIVE per cent
bonds. Against this sum there are elaims
on Gle in the State Department 10 The
amount of about eighteen millions, ex-
elusive of whatever amount the Govern
ment may claim as lis share, so that any
thing like & satisfactory Distribution OF
he award can hardly be expected.
Congress must either determine TO
whom this money shall be paid or au.
thorlze commissioners to make the
division. Three plans have been sub
miued to Congress for the distribution Of
the award. They are explained in the
objections to them as published in The
New York Tribune. Senator Edwards
proposes to create a court of five judges,
TO be appointed by the President, Tue
judges to have salaries Of sOo00 each, a
clerk $4,000 and a reporter s25C0. No
claim to be admissible for which insur'
srce has been received. No claims Of
Insurance companies admitted whose
premiums on war risks exceeded their
losses on such risks. No claims to be
allowed to disloyal persons or Insurance.
ompanies unlawfully organized. And
If the sum of all the Judgments exceeds
the award, pro-reta distribution Is to be
made.
Nothing is eaid in the bill about the
United States as a cIeditor. Tue
principal objections to the ill
are, first, that it creates an ,x'
Tensive tribunal to do the work second,
that the members Of the Court would, in
all probability, be politicians in favor
with the President, but with no special
dtpers for their dutl,s aud third, that
all the claimants would have TO bring
their casts 10 Washington, where HE
horde Ct claim-agents reap rich harvest
at their expense.
Representative Poland, Of Vermont,
would create no special tribunal, but put
the bushes; in tie hands Of such ciieaii
court as the President shall select. All
persons or corporatioIs who have fel
claims against the award are to be NAMED
as defendants. The United States to b'
one OF the defendants aud tie claims
allowed it to be first paid,
The otjectiors to Judge Polaud's biz
come chiefly from the claimants, who say
that under 1t the Government would a'
pretty certain to get the lions share o
the award. 1t Is further objected thai
the court might allow tie claims Of The
ireursuce comranits uuder what is called
the law of subroraiion, in which cas-
Tue pro rata share of ether claimant

The Thanks or Congress Refused to Sir
Lambton Lorraine.
Mr.. Orth. from the Committee on Foreign Anairs
reported the House resolution rendering the
thanks OF Congress to Sir Lambton Lorraine OF
the British navy, adversely, and it was laid upon
the table. The committee, in examining the his
tory OF the transaction, find that the steamer Vir
ginius was captured on the 3lst Of october, 1873.
Lorraine, commanding the Niobe. on the 7th of No
vember, 1874, applied to General Burriel to save
the lives Of the British subjects on board the vlr-
gnius. Burrel replied that II any of the prisoners
OF the vrginIus OF whatever nationaities received
the death sentence, they should be executed
without fail Some twenty British subjects were
executed, sixteen OF them after Lorraine's inter-
vention on the 18th OF November. Captain Cush.
ing, OF the wyoming, arrived at Santiago De Cuba,
and Immediately protested In the name OF his
country against further proceedings against the
virgnus prisoners. The protest was respected
by the spanish General, and thereafter no further
executions we're had The committee add that
Captain Gushing did his duty completely and gal
lantly In asserting the rights OF the American
government and It's citizens, and UNFOLDING the
honor Of the American nag. They, therefore, re-
ported against the adoption Of the Lorraine reso-
luton, and the House sustained the report.
