Ou motion involviag the litu oi 5,700 claim tlisd nadar the French Spoliations Act, arguments war iuU to-ly before the Court of Claims by Col.

Benjamin Wilson on behalf of tha Government aod a number of lawyers representing the claims. Col. Wilson spoke five hours to tbe propositions of deuiai entered tbe Government. The argument was most interesting, calling op, aa it (till, the relations of tbe French Government to tbe colonies when struggling for independence against George and the subsequent eUauge in its attitude toward lue new Republic under tbe inspiration of NopoloOD, as First Consul of France, when tb relations ot k'rauce and her hereditary rival, England. deoiau-- The history of tbe great unrecorded war of reprisal at sea, running back to 103 and 1800, was vividly retieareod and the1 pending issue of tbo chums against tbe Government was described in vigorous and etnphatio terms by the Government's counsel, CoL Wilson.

Col. Wilson argued tbat tbe old-um 4tu of July idea of the syiuatuetia generosity of ttie French Government siaing wnb tbe struggling colonists was a fallacy, founded in the selnsbuess of the ranch in their hereditary anugooism to the Ejgiish. lie argued to tba Court that lbs great rendered through Lafayette and tae military forces be brought to Dear against tba British regime in the colonies was purely and strictly due to a se.flsh motive to break the power of Great Britain. Pursuing his argument farther. Col.

Wilson endeavored to establish bis theory of the inaincer.ty of the Freucb ruler by showing that aa soon as tneir interests demanded a change of policy against the new republic of America tbey did not beoitate to assert it. From 179-i to 1300 they preyed upon American shipping on the high seas ma tbe assnined idea that Ue Cuiud States tasd. by entering into tbe the Jay treaty of amity, violated tbe relations that were assumed to exist between France and America during tbe revolution against George III. Tbe claimants are arguing that their claims are valid, because tbe United State bartered away their grievances for a consideration in tbe con veoi ion of 1800. concluded at Pari.

Ibe Government counsel, however, alleged to-day that tbe supplementary, and as be claimed final convention of 1803, abolished all questions peudaut under tbe treaty of 1800, and was a final and specific settlement of tbe private claims of either Government against tbe other. xuany attorneys were present to re sist the Government's motion, (tail ing mostly from Sew England, Sew York, and Philadelphia. A great legal contest is expected to ensue. Tne Government counsel. Col.

It is reported that the House Foreign Affair Committee will report favorably the bill suspending immigration of Chines for twenty years. This report confirms the fears of citizens of tb United States having friends of vested interest ia China. Should tb Mor-tow bill be adopted, th act of Congress in so doing would indicate hostility to China, which would probably result rendering most nnsatisfatory tb diplomatic relation between this country and China. Considering tb pretended aggressiv atti tude of th Chines Government toward this Government, having in view tb recent mob outrage on Chinese citizens in Wyoming and Washington Territories, tbis threatened action of Congress invests tb pending Chinese problem with renewed in- CAPITAL BREVITIES.

A Motion to Suspend the Sinking Fund in Labor's Interest Fails in Commons. Reported Designations In the Cabinet Contradicted by tbe Interested Parties. if CATCHES FROM THE CABLES Loitdo, March 16. Mr.

Gladstone occupied bis usual place in tbe House of Commons tbis afternoon. He looked fairly wall. In th Hons a number of motion looking to tb rehabilitation of silver as a currency standard, of which notices had teen given, were postponed. Mr. A.

J. Mundella, President of tb Board of Trade, announced that tbs different British Consuls in tb United State bad been instructed to inquire into the alleged fre quency of tb crimping of British seamen ia America, and to take the necessary steps to protect tbm f'om ibe practice in tbe future. Mr. Gladstone said that tb Government had decided to decline to appoint a special commission to inquire into the advisability of transferring the surplus population of Great Britain to tb colonies. Messrs.

Chamberlain, Trevelyan and Hene- age occupied their usual seals. Lord Charles Bresford (Conservative) moved that, in view of tb large number of workingtaeu out of employment and th cheapness of labor, tb present time is opportune to suspend tbe sinking fund, in order to place in navy in a slate of efficiency. Tbe fact is commented ou that Thomas O'Connor bad a lengthy conversation in the lobby to-day with Herbert Gladstone and Arnold Woley, and afterward conversed ilh Mr. Parnell. Tb Ulobe has retracted its statement rela tive to Messrs.

Trevelyan and Hnag to the effect that tby had resigned. Mr. Mundella, President of tb Board of Trad, was visited to-day by a deputation of authors and members of tbe House of Com mons, who called upon him to urge th necessity ot action by tb Government to im prove tb law governing international copy right. Mr. Mundella assured tbemtbatboth tbe Board of Trad and tbe Foreign Office were engaged at preeent in a discussion as to the best means of improving th international and ooloeial copyright laws.

He added that In bis opinion a codineaiioa of tb copyright law was deirab.e, but he thought it Improbable tbut th Government would be abie to find tbe time nrsary to properly deal with th subject this session. Tb police authorities of Birmingham fear that Femaus in that city have purchased a lsrg number of recently rejected bayonets. OLADSTO.NE'S 8CHKMB. Tb Standard says: It is supposed that Mr. Gladstone's scheme for the Government of Ireland proposes tbe establishment of a single chamber Parliament at Dublin, and embodies tbe principle of minority representation.

Ireland will continue to send members to Westminster, not in proportion to her population, but in proportion to htr contribution to tb Imperial revenue. Uuder this scheme, there would probably be thirty Irish members of Parliament. Tb police are to be disarmed and to be under the control of tbe Gowrnmeut at Dublin. Provision is made for tbe use of the Imperial force when needed for the tatety Of life and property. Tbe Government at Dublin will not have power to impose duties on British goods, to treat with foreign powers, to employ tbe revenues of ibe couutry for tbe endowment of religious bodies, or to pass measures impairing the validity of contracts.

Tbe toll Mail Gazette professes to have utuority for saying that tb statements of the Time and Standard that Mr. Gladstone's Irish expropriation scbsm contemplates an outlay of 300,000,000 are ridiculous, and that tbe sum which Mr. Gladstoo calculated necessary to bjy out all the present landlords of Ireland is much nearer 100,000,00 than Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, President of tbe Local Government Board, declares that the reports in circulation that be intends to resign bis seat iu the Cabinet are "all moonshine." Lord Charles Beresford's motion for the suspension of tn sinking fund was defeated by a vote of 208 to 93. Mr.

Gladstone authorises tbe statement that be will take no notice of the various versions of his Irish plans that have recently been given to tbe public. He says that alt tbe storiss tbat have been published regarding his intentions with respect to Ireland are entirely baseiess. It is understood tbat the Premier bop to be abie to present hi Irish programme in tbe House of Common oa Monday uext. It is stated tbat many Irish constables will resign it th force is placed under the con trot of au Irish Pardameat.

th A TALK WITH JAY GOULD. St. Locis, March 15. The quietness observed yesierday by both tbe Missouri Pacific railway employes and their employers is expected to be more than offset to-day by renewed activity of tbe company, widen will again make tbe attempt to renew its freight traffic. Tbe effect of tbe injunction issued by the Circuit Court fciniurday, restraining the strikers from trespass aud intimidation, can already be seen, for lb suburban accommodation trains departed and arrived on time this morning.

The engineers in the employ of the company bsve already expressed their intention of standing at their posts when so ordered, aud of remaining tber till tbey become convinced tbat they do go out at their peril. Positive information in regard to the hremea' inteutioa has uutil now been wanting, but yesterday morning F. P. Sargent, of Chicago, Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, arrived in this city, and attended a meeting of tbe firemen in tbe afternoon. This morn-lug be announced that be hid advised tbe in to report regularly for duty, to respond when called upoa by tbe railroad company, and lo go out lb engines, unless they be.iev mat tbey will be exposed to danger by so doing.

The facts, taken tcgethar with lb expectation that the injunction will prove effective, leads to tb belief tbat freight traffic will also be regularly resumed to-day unless the strikers resort to violences and ibis, they say, tbey will not do. Tba locomotive engineers of the Eastern division of the Missouri Pacific railway officially notified treneral Superintendent Kerrigan to-day that at a called meeting, held yesterday, a resolution was adopted that tb engineers of tbe Eastern division are ready to perform their duty a locomotive engineers, wben called upon, according to tbe contract of Marca 24, 1865. It le asserted in railroad circle that a circular emanating from ta Eset be Lvuia Assembly JXnights of Labor was served litis afternoon Upon representative af all roads entering St. Louis demanding an increas ia wages for ail shop-yard men, and stating that if tbe oeiueud is not complied with by 6 o'cioca- this evening tbe men will be ordered out. Ibe report referred to above proves to have ben true.

The circular was sent aa slated, but the time given to tbe raiu-oad companies to respond has been extudd to Thursday next. Th oemand 1 made by switchmen only, no shopmen being involved ANOTHER FAILUHE AT EZOALIA. The Globe- Democrat' Sedaiie, special says: The scenes of Saturuay ia connection with th attempt lo send oat a freight train were re-enacted to-day. Assistant Superintendent Sibley again addressed a letter to Mayor Uicbtuen, tbe Board of Aldermen, the Sheriff, and other county officers, in substantially th same terms as oa Saturday, notifying them that would start a freight train at 3 p. and requesting thm to be present aad pro tact tb tram aud the company 's employee from interference.

Tbe Mayor promptly responded by ordering Chief of Police Bar-nett to hav every poiicemau ia tb city on tb spot at the proper time, and Sheriff Murry summoned as deputies twenty of th leading business men of the city. Tne police were stationed along th track within th city limit, wbd tb Sheriff and bis poss took posiuon outsid th line. It was not thought tbat auy infer-ferance would be offered insid the city, aad this proved to th case, for tb train moved slowly along under police protection; but a few rods beyond tb corporation lias, and after the train bad passed into tne hands of lb Sheriff, it was boarded by over fifty strikers, who set tbe brakes, pulled the ooupling pins, and brought it to a halt amid tb cheers of a great crowd tbat had assembled and lined tha. track for a long distance. Tbe train was then ordered back to the yards, and the angina to tbe round-house, and thus terminated the third effort to remove freight train.

Th business men ho acted as Deputy Sheriffs are now satis lied that it is impossible to run freight trams in Sedaiia under the present state of affairs, and there are some who incline to the belief tbat it oould not oa done even with the aid of militia. Tbe railway officials have not stated what tbey will do to-morrow, but it is thought that tbey will make no further attempt to resume freight traffic until th strike ended. The General, or Executive Committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers met here to-night, but their proceedings are expected to be only preliminary in character. The real business will be done to-morrow. LBO.X, PBOTKCTIOW DUCAJTDKO.
