In the lords earl Clarendon moved the address in reply to the queen's speech, congratulated the lords on the removal of the long-standing difficulties with the United States, declared de-clared the government would deal with the eastern question with prompt deci ion, and at the same time in a dignified manner, because England witnesses with regret the encroaenments of ftus-sia, ftus-sia, whose further movement wouid tend to the diminution of the harmony which has long prevailed between tbe ! two powers. Lord Momeagle seconded the motion for tbe address. Earl Derby then addressed tbe House, and denied that the government could congratulate itself on the issue in the San Juan and Alabama controversies. He maintained there was a vast diller-ence diller-ence between w hat was contended for in 1K4, and the absolute surrender of 1872. The effect of the Geneva decision would be, that England hereafter would be liable for damages in matters wherein she could make no claim on others. Granville defended the course of government gov-ernment in bringing about the settlement settle-ment of the Alabama claims. The condition con-dition of tbe question concerning Central Asia did not justify the sensational telegrams, tele-grams, wbicn created alarm here and elsewhere. It was not probable the affair would lead to serious complications. Lords Salisbury Xiipon and Cairns followed with a discussion o1 the Geneva arbitration. Cairns argued the rules adopted were ambiguous and liable to misinterpretation, Tbe Lord chancellor deprecated tbo course of the debate on tbis subject, especially after a verdict was rendered. Ho defended tbo rules adopted by tho Geneva board. and declared toey should bo maintained between England and the United Slates, whether other countries accepted them or not. The Duke of Kichmond objected not to the spirit of the compromise, but to the fact that it was one-sided. He observed that the speech from the throne made no reference to the army, an omission especially espe-cially to be regretted at a time when desertions de-sertions from tbe ranks were more frequent fre-quent than ever. The address was adopted by their lordships- . .. . , In the commons tbo address in reply to tbe queen's speech, was moved by Charles Dyuleton, who congratulated the house and the country on tbe settlement settle-ment of the disputes with the United Stales. Although the decision was un-favorabia un-favorabia to England, there is net the slightest ground for impnuging the judgment of the Geneva arbitrators, or tbo'German emperor. No ntiou should be slow to follow England's example. Wm Stone secondrd tho motion. Disraeli rose and was loudly chered. He said ho read with alarm manythings in the royal speech. He would, not in the slightest degroe criticize the sovereign sover-eign and the arbitrators who had given awards adverse to England. He had' approved of tbe negotiation at Washington, Wash-ington, but could not but condemn the prospective rules adopted. The government gov-ernment pretended they had followed Palmerston, but that statesman would never havo placel England in such a dangerous and undignified position. Ke-ferring Ke-ferring to the Asiatic question, he hoped the house would receive the fullest in formation. Should Itussia attempt to seize Constantinople and conquer India, she would aud must be resisted. Horsman severely criticised the government's gov-ernment's foreign policy and declared the Geneva decision was one-sided and humiliating. Bernal Osborne condemned tho arbitration, arbi-tration, but any outlay which secured tho good will ot" America was a profitable profit-able investme.L Gladstone followed in a general defence de-fence of the royal speech, replying to tho criticisms on the manner of settlement settle-ment of the disputes wilh America, and doclared if a similar cae should arise, arbitration would again be resorted to. Honor was not sacrificed, and the fearful horrors of war were averted. The debate was continued by Cath-erne. Cath-erne. Handy, Vernon, Harcourt and others |
