American Commissioners, and of the Government, as well as the honor of the nation, there fore. Be ii Resolved, That the President of United States is hereby requested, if not detrimental to the public interest, to in form the House whether the Executive has any knowledge of any promise being made, l y any official person, that claims for indirect damages shall not be pre sented to the Tribunal of Abitration, and, if so, by whom such promise was made, or understanding given, and, if any, what arrangement was mac 6 with the British Commissioners, or the Britisl ) Government, by which the Americ."' Senate should not be placed in a position requiring a confession that wrong had been done, or whether any arrangement, whatever, has been made with the government of Great Britain, or with any official thereof, by which the action of the American Senate was to be controlled or influenced, in this behalf, and, if so, by whom and when, and .by whose authority such arrangement was made.” While the House was dividing, Mr, I Cox said: “The honor of our country is involved in this resolution.

All mast be aware that the position of a journalist, who is, at the same time, a candidate, is, at best, irksome and difficult; that he is fettered in action and restrained in criticism. “The knowledge that whatever he may say or do is closely scanned by thousands, eager to find in it what may be so interpreted as to annoy, or perplex those who are supporting him as a candidate, and to whom his shackled condition, will not permit him to be ser viceable, the undersigned therefore, withdraws absolutely from the conduct of the Tribune, and will henceforth, un til farther notice, exercise no control nor supervision over its cqlumns.

London, May 13.—In the House of Commons this evening, Gladstone made his promised explanation of the negotia tions regarding indirect claims and the position taken by the government. The house was full and the galleries crowded. Gladstone, on rising, was greeted with cheers. He said, in order to allow an opportunity for discussion on the state ments he was about to make, he would bring a formal motion for adjournment of the House. . After alluding, in terms of praise, to the forbearance shown by Parliament during the controversy, he said he would commence his narrative of its progress with the 18th of January, when it first became known to him that the claims for indirect damages had been presented at Geneva, in the American case. Her Majesty’s government protested, on the 3d of February, that indirect claims were not within the scope of the Treaty of Washington, nor within the intention of either party to the Treaty. Secretary Fish replied, in April, that he thought the Geneva Board ought to decide the entire question. The tone of Mr. Fish’s dispatches was most cour teous: In the meantime, a communication was received from Mr. Schenck, the Ameri can Minister, suggesting another course, which would be acceptable to England and America. This was an interchange of notes, setting forth the views, terms and condition wherein both would agree to proceed to the arbitration. We ac cepted this suggestion, continued Mr. Gladstone, and carried on the correspon dence, altogether by telegraph. Wednesday, the 8th instant, President Grant submitted a propQsition to the United States Senate. On Thursday we understood that the proposition was not precisely as we understood it should be, because of the brevity of the cable dis patch, on which it was based. On Fri day a draft, covering the letter of our vie\fs,was forwarded to Minister Schenck, and, although lengthy, was immediately telegraphed by him to Washington. On Saturday Mr. Schenck informed Gran ville that the JPreisident had ’accepted, and the Senate entertained that draft. Gladstone thought this fact was almost equivalent to ratification. Le begged the further forbearance of the House, now that the question was approaching a satisfactory issue, honorable alike to both nations. If successful in this nego tiation Her Majesty’s Government had a right to exact praise for settling a mo mentous question. The last proposal, on the part of Great Britain, sustained the position taken by the Government in the Queen’s speech, at the begining of the present session. Gladstone in conclusion said he thought he was not too sanguine inpre dieting that the negotiations would result in a settlement which would redound to the credit of both parties. As Gladstone took his seat there was loud and repeated cheering from all parts of the House, Disraeli followed with thanks to tho Premier for his statement. He should not seek to embarrass the government. Whatever differences existed on other subjects, all parties were united in a de sire for a peaceful and honorable settle ment of this one. In the House of Lords, Earl Granville maee a statement similar to Mr. Glad stone’s. Eare Russell again postponed his mo tion for an address to the Crown to with draw from the arbitration. He hoped the question was no longer one between the honor of the Crown and the re-elec tion of President Grant. Earl Derby and the Dnke of Rich mond expressed hope. The new propo sition of the Britisl} Government was unambiguous. They had heard enough of misunderstandings, London, May 14.—Parliament has ad- - journed for the usual Whitsuntide holi day. The Lords will re-assemble on the 31st instant, and the House of Commons will re-assemble on the 27th.

The publication of the message . has had an effect upon the market for American securities, which are now firmer than at the opening to-day. Yokahoma, Japan, April 23. —A frightful fire occurred in Yeddo during a severe gale, destroying the habitations covering a space of two by three miles The fire originated in one of the Prinoe* late palaces, which was occupied by troops. The flames leaped over whole blocks of buildings, and set fire to places a mile distant from the building in which, the fire began. An immense amount of property was destroyed. Where the wouuded and lame were unable to escape, the officials slashed right and left with their swords, and thus saved many persons from the more awfnl fate of burning. Thirty thousand persons are homeless. The Goverment opened tho rice storehouses and-fed all who applied. The occurrence of tins fire has led the government to permit foreigners to lease land in Yeddo, the owners being com pelled to make moutlily reports. This act will cause foreign money to be invest ed there. A Japanese fair is to be opened soon at Kioto, the former resideuee of tbe Mika do, and the liot-bed of the anti Foreign party. Foreigners, on depositing $300 with their Consul, as a guarantee for good behavior, may visit the fair for seventy days. This movement is made as a test of the disposition of the Foreign ers in the country toward the natives. If they are troublesome to the Government Iwakura will be ordered to Keep Japan a sealed book for some time longer.
