LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Pail Mall
Gazette. in leading editorial arti-
Gle, says that the United States
should choose this precise moment
to publish what seems, from the
telegraphic summary, to be rather
threatening dispatch addressed
by Secretary Evarts to American
Minister Walsh, can scarcely be
regarded as accidental. All the
world can see that we have on our
hands just now quite as much as
we can we'll deal with, and a really
friendly power with grievancell like
that, whilst holding to its position,
would refrain from casting the
matter in an irritating way before
the public until our affairs had as.
sumed more peaceful aspect. At
any rate, this is what, according
to the admirers of the Alabama ar
bitratiOn, we might certainly have
expected from America. The truth
is that, while the very party with
which the bargain was made still
holds Office IN the United States,
the first opportunity is seized to
make point against us just when
it reckoned that other difficulties
may force us to give way. Moth
ing else was to be expected and for
our own part we are inclined to
thank Evarts for teaching our
countrymen that nations generally
are no more inclined to forego
their advantages over one another
in the nineteenth century than in
the eighteenth, seventeenth, six
teenth, or first. Let sentimental
lists blame Evarts, for he has dis
appointed them, not us. Amer
ican newspapers of all
shades Of political opinion,
without giving moments con-
sideration, let us hope, to the fact
that quarrel had nothing what
ever to do with the award of S..
100000 made in favor of Canada at
Halifax, come forward at once with
the contention tnat their money,
due and long overdue to us, must
not be paid until and unless this
new difference is settled in the
way they think right. Nine mill
lion dollars of the Alabama iudem-
nifty still remain without any
reasonable claimant, aud there are
S5, 500, 600 more to be retained. We
should have supposed that Ameri-
cans could scarcely afford to recall
attention to the various matters re-
lating to the Washington treaty
and the manner in which its pro.
visions have been carried out; but
then we, too, have q little senti-
ment about us, for in truth the
whole story is one of continued at
tempt at evasion, and evasion of a
somewhat shabby kind, and Curl
ously enough advantage was taken
of the local regulations of the State
of New York to avoid compliance
with one of the most important
stipulations Of the treaty in favor
of Canada.
