SURPLUS OF THE GENEVA AWARD.

GEN. GRANTS PLAN-AID TO sHIPBUuDING-A SMALL
DISTRIBUTION TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE.I
b W.suIyGTON jan 2-The President suggests an
original plan for disposing of the surplus of the
Geneva award which will remain in the hands OF the
Government Of the United States after the payment
of the judgments of the Court OF Alabama Claims.
He contemplates sending message to Congress at
an early day suggesting the propriety of investing
this money in the securities Of the United States
and devoting the interest OF it to the payment of
subsidies to American shipbuilders, with the view
of restoring American commerce to the position
which il held previous to the of the Rebellion and
the depredatiOns upon il of cruisers fitted out III
British ports He thinks that If this plan Is
adopted stimulus will be given to American ship
building and that in less than 10 years the carrying
trade of the United States will in great measure be
restored to American bottoms. Gen. Grant does not
favor the restoration of any part of the Geneva
award to the British Government, as he believes
that it would not be well for the future success OF
the policy OF settling international disputes by ar
bitraton He does think, however, that some of
the claims presented for payment out OF the ndcm-
nity fund, and which have been rejected under the
acts of Congress creating the Court of Alabama
Claims and defining its jurisdiction, are included
within the spirit of the award of the Geneva
Tribunal. fOr lHSldHCt, Hc uocS NV 'i'nh 'h''
the question whether the vessels and cargoes
captured or destroyed were insured or not was
considered nor whether insurance companies which
had suffered loss had been reimbursed by the col!ec-
ton of war premiums He thinks, therefore, that
some equitable recognition of portion of the claims
debarred by the court should be arranged for and
favors the continuation of the court for limited
time with authority to take jurisdiction of the class
of claims referred to; but he would limit the judg-
ments so rs to make them only actual lOsss, and
he would deduct from the amount paid by insurance
companies to owners OF vessels and cargoes the
extra amount they received on account of the unu-
sually hazardous character of war risks After all
such claims as these paid he believes there
would still remain IL large balance, which he would
invest in the way and tor the purposes named

ANA BORDER RAIDS, POLITICS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Cabinet session
today the first for nearly two weeks attended by
all the members and lasted nearly three hours. Cabinet
officers, who have been visited this evening, say that
while there was considerable to talk about there was
nothing Of momtntous importance done. The rcsolu-
lions OF the Louisiana Legislature, asking for protection
by the Government against Violence referred to- a
telegraphc copy Of them having been forwarded
to the President but action taken The Govern
ment has not changed its former opinion that the troops

cuies that may arise, and wck would properly demand
military interference.
The general political situation was talked over at the
session to-day the that 1t has been some
time since there Oppoi tuny FOR general CdDl-
net consultation upon that subject than because OF any
Official information demanding especial attention.
There little discussion HpUn topics growing out or
the disturbed condition OF affairs IN Mexico. Secretary
Fish received communications from American Iner-
chants that country detailing their fears Of violence TO
American interests in Mexico; but there was nothing
absolutely in that particular. The state Department
will pursue whatever Is necessary The War and
Navy Departments have heretofore given proper and
necessary instructions to meet all emergencies they
arise additional directions therefore are thought TO
be immediately necessary. So far the orders to the
