SpOnOence.

Inc PRESIDENT mas transmitted TO the SENATE,
in response to Mr.. Blaine's resolution, the cor
rOspendence with Great Britain relative to
the selection of Mr.. Delfosse, the Belgian min
lister to Washington, as the third commissioner
under the Washington treaty on the question
OF the fisheries, The correspondence fully
cOnnrmS the statements heretofore made that
Secretary. Fish made every effort to induce
Great Britain to act con jointly with the United
states in the selection of a commissioner and
of the treaty, left with the Austrian minister
at London: The treaty provided that if, at
the expiration OF three months from the time
missioner should not be agreed on by the two
governments; he should be named by the
names, of the Mexican, Russian, Brazilian,
Spanish, French and Netherlands ministers at
washington but none Of these gentlemen
the special ground OF objection being on the
part of the Dominion government which, said
Sir Edward, strongly objects to the appoint
ment OF any io foreign minister residing at

the treaty. as above indicated. This occurred
before two-thirds of the time appointed had
It's reply, suggested that refusal on our part
TO make nomination, or abstinence from an
effort to concur in the conjoint nomination
contemplated by the treaty, on the ground
that local interests fOr instance that of the
fishermen of Gloucester) were opposed to the
primary mode OF hlllng the commission in
tended by the treaty, might well be regarded
by her Majestys government rs departure
from the letter and spirit of the treaty. The
united States government continued to urge
me cOnJOnt nomination, and even after the
limit had been passed expressed willingness
to waive. the point in order to come to Il com
mon agreement; A few days previous to its
expiration the British government proposed
that the United States and British ministers
at the Hague should be authorized TO select
some Dutch gentleman to act rs third commits
sioner. but as this would require the conclu-
sion OF a new treaty Mr.. Fish regarded it as
point as to the limit designated for a conioint
nomination, after it had been passed, was con
sidered inadmssible by the British govern
ment, which insisted upon the application of
the alternative, and the United States accord
lngly accepted the situation.' During the
correspondence Secretary Fish more than
once strongly intimated that the British gov
ernment seemed indisposed to act in conform
1ty with the true spirit of the treaty. but this
was emphatically disclaimed by Sir Edward

ENGLAND AND THE EAsT.-In the House of
Lords last night the Earl of Derby, replying to
eden on eastern affairs, said for obvious rea-

Sea at the present moment. He protested
against the repetition of unfOunded state
The government had not asked that Greece
should enter the congress on the same footing
as the great powers, but simply that She should
voice and claims heard. The government had
never proposed that Russia should submit the
peace conditions to decision by the majority
of the congress. They asked that all of the
articles should be submitted for discussion,
and discussion only, that being the only pos
sible manner of deciding which of them affect
tion now at issue. He was not prepared to say
what answer Russia would give, but he thought
the demand of the government was reasonable
there would be very little use for the congress
to meet at all.

THE ARMSTRONG MURDER-Grdtdnl's CON-

Nd, murder case have awakened great inter-
est in Philadelphia and Camden. The police au-

points in the confession, and last night the

statements have been found to be true: that
Graham even mentioned matters which they
knew nothing about, and these have been also

Hunter. was imprisoned yesterday in the
large room specially for murderers, though the
bars OF which every movement of the prisoner
can be seen. His suspenders and knife and
fork were also taken from him. He maintains
a stOlid Indifference. and still protests his in
nocence. His counsel stated yesterday that
the New York Mutual and the Manhattan life
insurance companies had, previous to the ar
rest and confession of Graham, made over
lures to him to settle at fifty per cent of the
amount due on the life of Armstrong the
murdered man, for which Hunter held the pol
lcies, but that Hunter refused the offer Ora
ham, who made the confession duplicating
himself and Hunter. and by which it appears
that Hunter hired Graham to kill Armstrong
in order that he (Hunter) might receive the
insurance on Armstrong; life is also confined
i'm the Camden Jail. He appeared very much
distressed yesterday; still asserts that he fled
after striking the first blow, and that Hunter
completed the murder, but Says his mind is
much relieved since he made his confession.
