OO eee THE INDIAN OUTRAGES IN KANSAS, ‘Woman Suffrage Defeated in the ‘Massachusetts Senate. ENGLAND. Correspondence on the AJabama Treaty. Lonpon, June 2, 1869. The correspondence that has passed between the two governments of Great Britain and the United States on the Alabama claims treaty has been pub- lished, The first despatch is from Lord Stanley to Mr, Thornton, the British Minister at Washington, ‘under date of February 15, 1868, by which that envoy ‘was informed that Mr. Adams had communicated portions of a despatch from Secretary Seward, ex- pressing a wish for the speedy settiement of ail differ- ences arising from the Alabama claims, the San Juan affair, the naturalization question and the Canadian Msheries. Secretary Seward therein suggested that the true method would be to treat jointly through the medium of an international conference, and the first step taken inthe negotiations should be on that pasis. Subsequently Mr. Adams communicated @ despatch to Lord Stanley from Secretary Seward, to the effect that the naturalization question caused great uneasiness in America, and was the most im- portant pot then pending, and until that were sottled tt would be hopeless to attempt the removal of any of the other differences. It further admits that no delay can be compatible with the mainte- ance of the good understanding between the two countrics. Lord Stanley was also informed that Secretary Seward reserved his opinion of the manner ‘of proceeding to be adopted in respect to the Ala- bama claims, as any decision in that regard would have much influence on the proceedings in the natu- Yailzation question. In due time protocols were signed on the subject of the naturalization treaty and the San Juan question. On October 21 Lord Stanley writes that Mr. Rev- erdy Johnson called upon him the day before and that much conversation passed between them, m tne course of which Mr. Johnson again made a pro- posal, on behalf of Mr. Seward, that the matter be referred to a commission formed of an equal number of British and Americans, with power to call upon ‘an umpire in case of disagreement, whose decision shonld be final. Lord Stanley further writes that in this conversation little was said about the point on which the former negotiations broke off, namely, the claims that the americans would raise before the arbiter, and the question of the alieged prema- ture recognition by her Majesty’s government of the state of beiligerency of the Confederates, He moreover stated to Mr. Johnson that this point could not be taken up, and thereby cause the government to depart from ‘the position already taken, but that he saw no dim. cuity in so framing the reference that by mutual consent cither a tacit or express difficulty might be avoided. ‘The negotiations thereafter proceeded rapidly on the basis of this agreement, by which ‘both nations were to be bleaded for the purpose of making things run smoothly. On November 10 a convention was drawn up for the settlement of all outstanding claims, which was signed on December 8. Lord Stanley further writes Mr. ‘Thornton that bubsequent to the signature ot the convention he ‘was informed by Mr. Johnson that Mr. Seward had stated in his despatch that if Washington were ap- pointed as the place of meeting all would be right. ‘This point, therefore, being conceded by her Majesty’s government, he had every reason to sup- pose that the convention, in the other respects, was accepted by the Cabinet at Washington, with a fair hope that it ultimately would receive the sanction of Uhe Senate. On November 80 Mr. Thornton writes that Mr. Seward had informed him that the con- tents of the Convention were not in accordance ‘with the instructions given to Mr. Johnson. The President and his colleagues could not approve of certain stipulations, which, in the present form, ‘would not receive the sanction of the Senate. Mr, Thornton also writes that Mr. Seward proceeded to assure him that his government earnestly desired that this good work should be brought to a satisfac- tory conclusion, and not fail in the tast moment, He consequently acknowledged that his Lordship ‘was justified in declining to reopen the negotiations, but hoped that in consideration of the importance of the subject he would not do so, but consent to Some modification that would render the Convention acceptable to the Senate. On the English Ministry being changed Lord Clarendon wrote, under date of December 24, that the British government was prepared to meet the ‘wishes of the government of the United States, and gent the draft of a convention, by which the nego- tiations were to be completed on the 14th of Janu- ary, 1869. The second convention drawn up by Lord Clarendon, which was lately rejected by the Senate, ‘was, tu fact, a proposal to cheat the public by de- ceptive clauses in regard to the recognition of the belligorency, and excited indignant comment here ‘with all fair-minded men, and appears to have fally Justified the action of the Senate. Tho London Times on the Correspondence Respecting Alabama Claims, Lonpon, June 2, 1869, The Times, reviewing the correspondence between the English and American governments on the Alabama claims, &c,, eays:—‘‘Although we were Woll aware of the frankness and desire for ® good understanding which characterized two successive British governments, we knew Bot tho lengths to which conciliation was sotually carried, and how completely it was their own propositions, their own acts, which the Americans repudiated through their Senate. When we compare the oxacting and critical spirit of America with the éonceding temper of England, and come to consider that all that was yielded was insufficient to prevent the rojection of the treaty, we despair of the sue- cosas of any negotiations in which England maim. tains due regard for her own rights and honor.’ Discussions in Parliament on the Canadian Questior Loxpox, June 2, 1809, The proceedings in the House of Commons last evening with regard to Canada and the other British colonies in North America were very interesting. Sir Harry Verney, member tor Buckingham, in- quired what the policy of the government would be toward the American colonies, Mr. Monsell, the ‘Under Secretary for the Colonia) Department, replied at considerable length. While ne declined to enter on the general subject of the colonial policy of the Government he intimated that part of that policy ‘was to throw the cost of self-defence on each colony. Measures to that end had been partially takon, and they would be extended next year, He had no doubt that the arrangement for the cession Of the Hudson's Bay Company's territory would re. Ovive the ratification of the Canadian government, ‘The question was not one of purchase only, but also @ develovment, colonization and civilization, whick NEW YUKK HERALD, THURSDA had hitherto peeo virtually otosed, If the echeme were succeasful the Dominion would be able to ox- tend from the atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. He be- lieved that all the interests of British Columbia lay in connection with those of Canada, and every facility would be given to forward them. Sir Staford Northcote, member for North Devon, thought that the Canadians were better able to de- cide for themselves what action they would take in the matter than to act on the advice of the govera- ment. Still he believed that the question would soon ve satisfactorily settied, Viscount Bury regarded Canada as the futgre high- way to the Indies and the East. Much had been said and written about the incorporation of tne British possessions with the United States, He ridiculed this idea, and said that by such a course the colonies had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Mr. Adderley, member from North Staffordshire, and formeriy Under Secretary for the Colonial De- partment, regarded the arrangements aa detailed and explained by the government as eminently satisfactory. On principle, he generally disapproved of the system of government guarantees, yet he would vote ia favor of this, Discunsions in the Britiss Parliament—Tho Ocean Postage Question=The Treatment of Trish Political Pcisoners, Lonnon, Jane 2, 1869. In the House of Commons last night Mr. Seely, member for Lincola, made some remarks on ocean postage. He urged t tae cont ee {gr car. rying the matis to the Galtéd States be made for ho longer time tnan three years; that payments for the service be regulated by the amount of mails carried. He advocated ocean penny postage and hoped ne- gotiations would be eatered into with the United States for the establishment of that system. The Marquis of Hartington, Postmaster General, defended the late mail contracts made by the gov- ernment. Although he sympathized with the senti- ments of Mr. See!y, he was opposed to his proposals, which, if carried into effect, would lead to uncer- tainty in the service and to disinclination on the part of the steamship companies to compete wil each other. He thought the present eontracts would be the last which would be made with a fixed subsidy, but was altogether doubtful of the success |. of any negotiations for the establisiment of penny postage across the Atlantic. At the conciusion of the Postmaster General's reply the subject was dropped. Mr. Moore moved that a special committee be ap- Pointed to inquire into the treatment of untried Trish political prisoners. Mr. Fortescue, Chief Secretary for Ireiand, be- Meved that the complaints made of the ill-treatment of these prisoners were exaggerated; but he thought political prisoners awaiting trial should be held under the supervision of the government officers, and not kept in county jails. After remarks from Messrs. Gray and Maguire, condemning the present system of holdiag untriea prisoners in confinement, the House divided on the motion and refused to appoint the committee by a vote of twenty agamst eighty-four.

The Clarendon, Astor, St. Nicholas, New York atid Fifth Avenue hotels were reported as being in a sorry plight with their “awkward squads" of green waiters, and in some of them the chambermaids id kitchen girls had declared war against the ubstitutes.’” It was stated by Mr. McDermott, for the benefit of the public, that there are now in many first class hotela here, owing to the obstinacy of the employ- era, men known as hotel thieves acting as walters, and that numerous complaints of jewelry robberies and thefts of other articles have been made within the last few days, and that in several hote! the guests are almost obliged to stay tn their roo: to look after their valuables, so 4! fulare of the class of waiters now employed in them. was also borne out by astatement from another member, who said that the strike will cost the hotel keepers more than they imagined it would, as the guests do not enter into any question of strike with those who receive their money, but expect their money's worth whatever differences there may be between masters and men. Mr. Johnson, the ex-president, made an able speech enjoining unanmity of action and an unflinching de. termination, he satd, to carry the strike through all obstacles would, he said, insure success, Several other members followed with remarks on the action of the colored waiters and that of the waiters of Boston and Philadelphia, who how stand by the union. A committee was appointed to confer with the hotel keepers, 80 a8 to see Whether the strike cannot be settied amicably, but without putting the union to the necessity of abating one jot of its pretensions. From remarks made during the meeting it would seem that the employers are perfectly wilt pay the increased demand, but are en at thé action taken by the union, and insist condi. tion of the payment of thirty-five dollars per month that the recipients shall renounce the society, This the men will not do, and until the conference com- mittee report it ts impossible to say What may be the further action of the body. The proprietor of the St. James Hotel states that he has not acceded to the demands of the strikers and does not mean to, the report that he had com- promised being erroneous, ‘The proprietors of the Worth House have given the advance to their waiters on condition that the latter wear white “chokers’’ and dresecoats, which they agree to do, Diea, SANDERSON.—On Wednesday, June 2, MARIA, daughter of Charles and Margatot Sanderson, aged 5 years and 6 months.
