THE PROSPECT OF ITS RATIFICATION. WASHINGTON, May Tl, 1872. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations were in session until # lace hour this afternoon, con- sidering the treaty. There was some discussion on the point of tho treaty relating to tne English claims, but, as a whole, the proceedings were sition would be made by Senators Schura, Patterson and Casserly when the various parts of tne treaty came to be discussed, However, neither of these gentlemen had much to say against it. They proposed some amendments, but it did not appear that they impressed the committee as being | muclrof an improvement upon tho provisions of the treaty, The indications are that no amondments will be adopted by the committee, and she treaty will probably b> reported pack {n tts original shape. When the Senate meets to-morrow General Came- ron will immedately move an adjournment. The Senate will probably adjourn until! Monday, though General Cameron ts of opinion that the committee | will be ready to report on Saturday. They will re- port on Monday, however, and the senate will at once proceed to the consideration of the document. Wr, Sumner will press an amendment to exclude | the article of the treaty relating to the English | claims. The purpose of the Senate, however, evi- dently 1s to vote duwn all amendments and ratify i the treaty In Its original shape. iv is a matter of general remark that the HERALp's: special correspondence conveyed to the public such accnyate intelligence of the deliberation of the Joint | High Commission pending thei discussions, and | that the HeRaLp special telegram of last Monday gave the substance of the treaty with even greater accuracy than the sem!-oMotal pubitcation on the day following, The text of the treaty is rerarded by many Senators as being more unfavornabye to the United States than the semt-ofictal réxuméd led them to believe. Tnus the frank apology of tho British government, as alleged, is merely an expression of regret, not that England acted hasti'y and in an unfriendly manner tn recognizing the belligerency of the South, and in giving “aid and comfort” to the Confederate cause, but simply to regret that the | Alabama and other Anglo-Contederate vessels es- caped, which cxpression 18 afterwards qualified by the assertion that in permitting the escape of the Alabama and other vessels, and tn all other re- | spects, England acted iegally, and did all she could | in the premises, It is also, neld by many Senators that the new utes of public law aro all in the interest of England; that the Uniled States, having suffered for four years by the action of England under the opera- Mons of what the English Commissioners formerly declarea was, and ts until tis treaty’ 1 ratified, good: law; that they can fee no reason. why we should now be called upon to adopt more stringent rules for the future, which will tie our hanas, as against England, when ine only re- compense offere:| us 1s theprivilege of submitting to commission the fact as to wheter Engiand vio- lated the technical terms.of those new ries in the Ajabawa claims; and if so the clatmants are to be paid their absolute losses, while the United Siaics: Will not receive anything, under any circumstance: for the national wrong inflicted directly aud tndi- rectly by the ald and.comfort Great Britain pave the Confederates by tollowlag what her Commassioners Dersist in decluring was and 1s the law. Many Sen- ators seem at a loss to understand the necessity for the United States, adopting any new rules of public law at this time. . Under the twelfth article a’coramission ts insti tuted for tie consideration and payment of all British claims against the United States arising out of the war between 2861 and 1845; and this without any limitation ofany character wiate Ttis seen that the semal-oiietal argument, that certain claims of British, suljects are excluded, finds no Warrant in the words of the treaty it sel. AN claims are given a status by tho treaty. The statement im the Hutasp's special despatenes more than a week ago that this was the case is fully corroboraied by the text of whe treaty, With regard to the statement that Lord Granvitie's recent declaration as to Prussian seizures in France Will be-binding on the ‘fribunal of Arbitration, and thus limit the British claims agatust the United ‘States, it ts neld thatif this was the-Intention of the treaty it should be #0 expressed, and that in the ab~ sence of any such expression theve is no reason to Know that the President will take cognizance of it The construction of the Tribunal of Arbitration fsalso commented upo: frecty by Senators, fhe fact Is pointed eut that the United-States are to have but @ single voice in the.tribanat of flve, and a majority 13 ta decide all quostions, and from which decision there 13 to be no appeal. It is arsed that none of the republics of America are to sleet the members of this tribunal; that tho empire of Brazil and the Kingdom of Lialy, both monarekical govern. ments, are pitted against Switzeriand, so that it 13 two to0.e mn favor of monarchy &s against a re- public; and that all the way through the Un:ted States inthe several Commissions Wave but one voice against two, monarchists, while the majority's } int Ph voice is to bo final, Mr. Sumner’s point, that the claims of British subjects for injurtes which really grew one of the unfriendly and hostile conduct of Eng'and to wa, and that wo should never be called upon te pay Such Cluims, mects With much tavor hee, With regard to tbe arrangement as ‘o the fisho- ries, it is contended by Senators goneratly that the free adm’ssion to our markers of Canadian canghs fish and the product thereof is a suMotent equivalent for the freedom of tnetr Sheries, in addition to the privilege granted thelr fishermen to fish in our wa- ters, and the provision to establish a Commission to award Canada a moneyed consideration besides will be stoutly opposed by many Senators. The reference of the San Joan boundary dispute to arbitration Is regarded witn disfavor Dy North- western Senators, who hold that our claim to the boundary of the channel of the Canal De Maro ts too clear to leave it to any arbitrament, and ‘that the object of Engiaud in endeavoring to get the Rosario Straits boundary is to command the terminus of the Northern Pactfle Railroad on tie Pacific, wh'ch she can do if the Rosario chanvel should be selected, for the terminus will be in the tmmediate vicinity of the British boundary and commanded by the British forts. There is some enrprise that the Joint [igh Commission did not finally settle that question. While a large majority of Senators express them- } selves a8 favorable to a discussion of the treaty in | open session, under ordinary circumstances, yet they allege it would lead to such lengthened debate ‘a6 to protract the session for weeks, and that they are anxious to have as brier & session as possible, ‘This consideration will probably determine the re- jection of the propositions for an open s:ssion. Protest Agninat the Ratification of the Treaty—Formidable Ofaim of the American Heirs of Earl Sttetis to tbe Onnadian Fishertos. WasmIneton, May 11, 1874 Copies of a circular letter, in the form of a protest against a portion of the Treaty of Washington, were sent yesterday to the Senators, representing that two of the four living heirs of the late Bart suring | are now citizhns of the United States, aa dewand that attention which heretofore their ‘father solicited upon the question of thelr mehts to the American fisheries and proprictorsbip “of ‘he Canadas, as the legal desceud- ant and inheritor of William Alexander, the Ovst Kari Stirling—the late carl—the ninth in suc. cession, and father of the present claimant, came to this country seme years ago to mako known his Tights to the Canadas and the fsherioa—then, as now, a subject of treaty between Me United States and Great Britaln—and (9 Ordcr to adlust.
