THE TIMES ED1ToR1ALLy SAYS:

THE TIMES EDITOHlAlLx BAYS:
London, May 4.-"The British cabinet
admits in principle that an interchange Of
views respecting the substance Of the treaty
would be desirable, in case the difficulties,
which now obstruct the congress-, be re-
moved; but it shows no inclination to waive
this preliminary condition. Accordingly.
it has hitherto refralned from expressing its
views, and has not vet replied to the annex |
to Prince Gortschakoff's circular. In
other words, we are holding our case in re-
serve until the court before which it ought
to be laid is properly constituted, or at least
until there is fair prospect Of its being
thus constituted" The Times commenting
on the appearance in the United States wat
era Of the steamship Cimbria with Russian
officers and men on board says: "sThere
are good reasons why we should regard pro-
ceedinrs of this kind without alarm. The
chief one is that the United States govern
ment, which has always prided itself on
fulfilling Its neutral duties, has been placed
under special obligations in this respect, by
the Washington treaty. BY virture Of its
rules, we we're condemned 70 pay fine Of
So, 100000 for depredations committed by
the Alabama and her consorts, and the
United States by accepting that fine have
further pledged themselves to observe on
their own part the new rules of the treaty.
1t was an unwelcome penalty to us at the
time, but we have the advantage Of an addi-
tional protection. Now, We may in fact be
confident that the United States will act
honorably up to its obligations in this re.
spect, and the Russians will consequently
6ud it difficult to execute the enterprises
they appear to have planned"
