THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Humored Alliance of European

England Agitated Over Sum

Press and the People
Regard It.
The Now York Tribune publishes Oils morninir the
following special calilo telcfrram :
London, May 11. Initial steps have been taken for
an alliance, ollcliftivc and defensive, between Kiik
land, France, and Hpaln against the United States
ide rejection of the Alabama treaty, the tone of Mr.
Sumner's speech, the sllcpcd tuiimstcrina; tendencies
of General Grant's administration, and the reported
connivance at expeditions from the United States
ajrainst Cuba, belnn: made the pretext for a neces
sity for such alliance.
ConinicnlM of the ItaKllsh Prows on the Trouble.
The London Hattmlag Review, May 1, thus review
Mr. Sumner's speech:
If it were Mr. Sumner's object to precipitate a war
he could not be more bitter or more unjust. Accord
ing to his own paradoxical statement, lie desires not
to Inilume angry passions, but to promote peace and
concord by rejecting a treaty which would not
satisfy American demands. He argues that it Is use
less to terminate a nuarrcl by an arrangement which
would not content the offended party.
Mr. Sumner may perhaps lielleve that the recogni
tion of belligerency was a proof of unfriendly feel
ings, and yet nothing is more certain than that the
Kngltsh Government issued the proclamation with a
genuine anil earnest desire to avoid any oUVnse to
American susceptibility. As the motives of the act
have been not unnaturally misapprehended, it is
necessary to rely on the undoubted fact that the
Kngltsh tJovernment was oxercisiiijr'.an indisputable
right. The blockade which had been previously
proclaimed by the President of the United States
is conclusive evidence of the existence of a war,
although Mr. Sumner misrepresents the argu
ment of his opponents when he afreets to believe
that their justification rests exclusively on a single
admission. It was, according to Mr. Sumner, a
mere verbal mistake to announce a blockade when
the Government might have closed the Southern
ports by executive authority; but a decree by which
the porta were closed could have created no'right to
capture on the high seas vessels which might be
bringing muninitlons of war to the Confederates. It
was for the purpose of guarding against snch a difli
cnlty that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Sumner deliberately
proclaimed a blockade, estopping themselves, ac
cording to a subsequent Judgment of the Supreme
Court, from a denial thata state of war actually exist
ed. Ah might have been expected, Mr. Sumner leaves
unnoticed the unanimous assent of all European Gov
ernments to the neutral policy of England. The French
recognition of belligerent rights was Issued on the
same day, in the same words ; and within two or
three weeks every maritime power, including Russia,
committed In the same form the same wrong which
is -exclusively Imputed to England. At that time
there was little diirerence of opinion on either side
of the Atlantic that, the disruption of the American
federation was complete and Una!. It is true that
the conclusion was erroneous ; but the Confederacy
held undisputed possession of Its own territory, and
it was evident that, according to the nniversal
opinion, State ties were more binding than Federal
allegiance. If any kingdom in the civilized world
had been split Into two parts in similar circumstances,
the American Government would have recognized
not only its belligerent rights but Its political inde
pendence. The speech Itself is from first to last thoroughly
consistent In injustice. The secession was, as Mr.
Sumner truly says, in the first Instance plainly en
couraged by the hope that England would recognize
the Independence of the South. In the cant Ameri
can phrase, cotton was king, and England would
prove her loyaltv to her economic sovereign by em
ploying her fleets and armies In aid of the cotton
growing Confederacy. That the expectation was
signally disappointed no ignorant person could learn
from Mr. Sumner, ir a man complained that a capi
talist whom he regarded as his friend had advanced
money to start against him a trading competitor, It
would be thought a su indent defense that the ap
plication had been urgently made and positively
refused. In controversies with Eugland, American
disputants regard fact and logic with Impartial con
tempt. In another year the passions which Mr. Sumner
stimulates may have partially subsided, or they may
have expanded Into a declaration of war and an in
vasion of Canada. There is perhaps no example of
a war undertaken solely for purposes of vengeance,
nor would an attempt at territorial conquest be a
disinterested expression of sentiment. There Is no
other quarter In which England is especially vulne
rable In a contest with America; but the great re
sources of the United States, unscrupulously em
ployed, would undoubtedly cause great Injury and
suffering, not without heavy cost to the wrongdoer.
If such a result Is to be produced, either by design
or by the unforeseen operation of hostile reelings,
reasoning would have no effect in averting a lament
able crime and misfortune. From the beginning of
the discussion the only hope of a solution was to be
found in an appeal to the doctrines of international
law, or In the discretion of an indifferent arbitrator.
Although the arguments which Induced Lord Russell
to decline a reference have never been confuted, it is
now generally admitted that the concession which
was afterwards made by Lord Stanley was judicious;
but for every step which the English Government
has advanced, the Americans have receded to twice
the distance. Short of war It is Impossible to go
further than Mr. Sumner in a hostile direction.
The London (Spectator goes elaborately Into the
subject and winds up in the following self-complacent
manner:
As regards Mr. Sumner's argument to prove that
we were guilty of a breach of international right,
that we did violate the laws of neutrality in our
policy towards the Sonth, we need not say much.
Some things he said which are fair arguments to lay
before an arbitrator; others he said which seemed to
ns colored by prejudices and prepossessions so ex
traordinary that we read them twice before we could
credit him with having made any statement so
monstrous (such, for Instance, as the assertion that
the fitting out of the Alabama was as much the fitting
out of a hostile expedition "as if she had sailed forth
from her Majesty's dockyard") ; but the great feature
of his speech is that In treating the legal ques
tions he does not even condescend to grapple
with any one of the more powerful considerations
which tell against him. lie Ignores the point that
the acknowledgment of the fact of belligerency at
sea was essent ial to give the United States the power
of blockade In the sense In which they wanted and
used it namely, to stop vessels on the high seas
bound to any blockade port, lie ignores the fact
that the friends of the North felt this so strongly that
nome of them urged the recognition of belligerency
and proclamation of neutrality on the liritish Gov
ernment in the interests of the North alone. He Ig
nores altogether the question whether the breach of
any municipal law like our Foreign Enlistment act
can be rightly made niatterof lnteruationaljcomplalnt
by a foreign government. He is inconsistent, too,
with himself; for while he makes it (not unjUHtly,
as we think) a great charge against us that we
were so negligent in executing our own municipal
law in the Alabama coHe, a great part of his accusa
tions rest on the assumption that we should have
proceeded, in violation of that municipal law. to
stop vessels accused of being intended for Southern
privateers, on wholly inadequate and inadmissible
evidence which no judge or jury would have listened
to for a moment. In short, Mr. Sumner's legal argu
ment Is a very poor ex parte statement or the United
(suites1 case, without even a pretense of a Judicial
discussion, But. be that as it may, it Is too obvious
that ex parte legal arguments, If they were the best
in the worm, are not reasons wny judgment snouiu
go for the pleader without ever hearing the case on
the other side. Mr. Sflmuer has uothlng to say
wiiich has not lieen heard a hundred times before.
thnnirh he sudimisch a great deal which has also been
beard a hundred times before and which seems to us
irreater weight. Hut what he does sav. In
stead of being put forward as proof that there is
something to discuss for which only it would serve
is unfortunately put forward as proof that there is
nothing to discuss which it not only does not
prove, but disproves.
On the whole, Mr. Sumner's speech Impresses ns
v.rv deeulf with the necessity there is for greater
IIL nnLth sides of the Atlantic. Those who
" i u we do the moral strength of Mr. Hum
iTer rase against Knglaud ought to favor every
oortunlty fur Informally expressing that keen
V???" !. l.rrl t and mortification which we heartily
believe that the great majority of the people of Great
JriWiS SlKlm vutvrtam VjUj rgv t9 y,e y-
rnct of the rnllng class and the Government during
the first fimr years of the civil war. Those, on the
Other hand, In America who feel with correspond! ig
keenness the utter unreasonableness of such assump
tions as Mr. Sumner's that England committed in
this case a conspicnons breach of International law,
like the boarding of the Chesapeake or the raid of 1837
Into the territory of the United Stales should do their
lest to restrain such unreasonable and self-contradictory
demands as Mr. Sumner's, which m con
trary to all the most obvions principles of law. Of
course, If we are decided to nave lieen guilty of a
breach of International law. let us, by all means,
apologize; but to assume the very point of discus
sion, on the ground that we have certainly been
?n lit jr of ill feeling, is as monstrous as it would be
or us to ground out" own defense on the plea that
America has sympathized openly with the F'enian
conspirators. Informal national Rlns must le expi
ated, if at all, by informal national expressions or
regret. We do not axk the Government of the
United States to apologize for the siiis of its people
in relation to the Fenian matter. America cannot
ask the Government of .Knglund to apologize for the
sins of its people in relation to the civil
war. If, as we heartily believe, Wie only
even disputable point as regards legal liability
is the negligence of the government in
permitting the escape of the Alabama, how Is It pos
sible to aHk us to express formal contrition till it Is
decided whether even then we were not acting
strictly within our legal competence? Mr. Sumner's
real grievance, and the real grievance of the North
ern people, Is that the English Parliament displayed
a hearty sympathy with a cause naturally hateful to
it, the slavery cause, out of some poor Jealousy of
the growing power of the North. Well, that is not a
breach of international law. Ity all menus let us do
what we can to wipe out a blot on English national
character which many of us always marvelled at and
sorrowed over. Hut, on the other hand, let the more
moderate anil sensible statesmen of the United States
restrain their sensitive politicians from the undigni
fied weakness of confounding an act of marvellously
bad taste and bad feeling though one which u for
tunately Is too often imitated by America itself with
out any formal reproach from us with an interna
tional crime.
The London Daily yarn, a paper or liberal views,
of the 1st Inst., reviews the speech of Mr. Sumner as
follows:
Mr. Charles Summer isouc of the great orators,
if not one of the great statesmen ol the United suites
Senate. He is great in speeches If not in measures,
is a power in council if not in action. On any great
question his speech is usually looked for, aud is read
with admiration If not conviction. The material
claims Mr. Sumner bases on the old argument.
England granted the South belligerent rights "with
out any of those conditions which arc essential per
quisites of such a concession." After this premature
recognition followed the escape of the Alabama, her
reception in our colonial ports, and the negligence
which permitted English soil to become in lact the
basis of warlike operations against American c ni
merce. These acts form, Mr. Sumner says, the triple
cord which binds upon us our liability. They make
England responsible for cumulative Injuries which,
Mr. Sumner says, "stand before us mountain high,
with a base as broad as the nation, and a luass as
stupendous as the rebellion itself.'' In round num
bers we may reckon that the Alabama claims, a-v
cording to Sir. Sumner's present estimates, amount
to nearly tr00,000,ooo, and Mr. Sumner assures us
that "the attempt to cIohc this Internationa) debate
without a complete settlement is little short of
puerile." But it Is surely far worse than puerile to
carry on a great international debate with such
arguments as these. In what court of law could Mr.
Sumner get even a hearing for claims which rest
on the assumption of profits that might have bjen
made? Yet he not only reckons such prospective
profits in his estimate of loss, but adds to them
the possible increase which might have taken place
during the years of the war. The yet further claim
of some ( 4Mi,lHM),000 is probably only a rhetorical
artillce, which takes the fancy of Americans, but
which has on Englishmen only the effect of an anti
climax. Mr. Sumner is always serious, or we might
suspect him of poking fun at his countrymen, lie
has ably stated the American side of the argument
on the questions which are allowed to be open be
tween us. He huB given expression to that sore feel
lug which can neither be matter of argument nor of
arbitration, tint his tigures simply remind us of
more vulgar and commonplace compensation claims.
What would satisfy him ? Shall we take the Five-
twenties anil pay the Interest on them ? shall we
take one-half the debt and add It to our own?
Even then we must add to it an humble apology.
Mr. Sumner not only presents a bill of live hun
dred millions, bnt demands that we should
pay it off on our knees, lint such discussions as
these are mere waste of time. It is one misfortune
of the reopening of this question that it remits the
w hole dispute to rnetoricai discussion Dy irresponsi
ble persons. Mr. S.tmner may represent an inllu
ential American opinion on this subject, or he may
not : but he does not represent tne American Gov
ernment.- We have referred to his speech merely
as letting us know what a great rnetortcian could
make of the argument in audience of the American
people. Such discussions can, however, have but
one result. They retard the settlement instead of
advancing it. They surround a business question
with all the complications and distractions of ex
cited feeling. What we want to settle is, how far we
are responsible for certain injuries inflicted on
American commerce, and when that is settled we
will pay the bill.
The London Time of the 1st Inst, again returns to
the subject of the Alabama treaty, after discussing
It at length the day previous. In this later article
It dwells especially on the neutrality proclamation
of her Majesty, and goes on to Bay :
The proclamation of neutrality made by the Queen
of England in May, 1861, was, according to Mr. Sum
ner, the source of almost every evil oi tne war. it
placed the rebels in the position of an Independent
power; It encouraged thein to persevere in their
treason ; It conferred on them, as belligerents, rights
they had not previously possessed. Mr. Sumner so
far admits the cogency ol the arguments urged on
this side that he is disposed to confine the offense of
England to the recognition of what he calls "ocean
belligerency." mere is a nonunion oi me iuiki and
a dominion of the ocean; but whatever power the
rebels possessed on the land, they were always with
out power on the ocean. Admitting that they were
belligerents on the laud, they were never bellige
rents on the ocean. But what right had we to draw
any such distinctions? wnat we saw cieariy was
a great conflict on the other side of the Atlantic,
wlilcli ulleCK'd every relation oi nruiHii commerce
with the Southern States, and was extended over
the ocean and close up to our own waters by the
President s proclamation or blockade, under wmcn
British siiips alleged to meditate the breaking of the
blockade could be seized even off our own coasts and
taken into American ports. If, us we confidently
maintain, the proclamation was justifiable, there is
nothing more to be sum; out, even were it not so,
it would be absurd to argue that the issue of the pro
clamation caused the blockade-running and so
lengthened the war. Blockade-running is not legal
ized by tne queen s prociaiuaiion; ou tne contrary.
It Is expressly prohibited, and tliOie guilty of it arid
the other ofleiises enumerated are told that they will
do so "at their peril and of their own wrong, and
will in nowise obtain any protection from us against
any liabilities or penal consequences, but will,
on the contrary, Incur our high displeasure by such
conduct." The whole tenor of the proclama
tion is prohibition, and it Is difficult to understand
how it can be accused of sanctioning, much less of
causing, the very acts against which it was directed.
Surelv experience is not. wanting in America to prove
that the recognition or belligerency or the proclama
tion or neutrality is not necessary to authorize
blockade running 1 It is said, on good authority, that
at this very time the Cuban Insurgents are oeiug
supplied by American vessels, and yet these "rebels '
have not received the character ol belligerenU wither
on land or ocean. The only real evil mulcted by the
proclamation was the portion given by it to the
Alatiama In the ports or the British empire, and this
part or the American grievance would have come
within the operation ol the rejected treaty.
The Full Mall Gazelle has also had its say In the
matter. In thut independent an 1 sophom irish stylo
which it almost invariably affects, it brings In ta J
Irish question with the Alabama claims aud Senator
Sumner's speech. Here Is whit the model paper hH3
to gay :
The Insults and threats levelled nt tig from the
other side of the Atlantic by oue or the most promi
nent public men in America are echoed at home bv
a man holding au Important public position, while
the old standing wounds or Ireland break out In riot
and murder, collective and Individual, and under
circumstances which make It impossible to doubt
that there Is a close connection between the crimes
which we witness, tho threats which we hear, and
the impression which is created in Ireland bv the
course of policy which we are pursuing for the ex
press purpose of conciliation. These are facta
which ought to make us think a little. What has
been and is the cause of these insults? We need
not go very far to look for It. It is to be found in
the opinion which prevails widely, both in the
United States and In Ireland, that the English na
tion is afraid of them both.
With regard to the Irish, again, many people In
this country, some of theiu men in high auth rltv,
bave most undoubtedly been frlghteued, not, as we
pointed out the other day, at the prospect of being
tiviValV 'J "U ii'fif J"Vbv;lkM but the prospect of
hoYlng to nonpros It by force, such force being em
ployed to defend some things which ar.j distinctly
indefensible. Ho far we must submit to the Im
putation of having been afraid. Unwelcome at
the truth Is, there is no good in denying it. The
future, however, is still In our power, and the ques
tion whether the English nation ought to permit
itself to be Insulted Is one which, when slated iu
plain terms, answers itself. Of course no one would
nay yes to It, but there Is considerable reason to fear
that many people will give an answer which, though
not an affirmative In terms, will have all the effect
of one. They will seek, as cowards always do, to
avoid the necessity of vindicating their character
and position by denying that it has been attacked.
They will try to extenuate the Importance of snch
language as Mr. Sumner's, and to deny the signifi
cance of such acts as are continually taking place
In Ireland. They will treat as an absurdity the
notion that any one can suppose that the British
nation Is frighted, or act upon the suppowitiott
of the existence of such a feeling. In a word,
1 hey will do their best to Induce us all to
pocket the affronts put npon us, and to man
age matters In such a way as to show as little
as possible the nature of the load which we
carry in our wickets. This is the well-established
and wcll-uiulorstood procedure or every bully and
coward who finds himself overmatched '; anil those
who do not wish their country to play that part
among the nations of the world would do well to
consider how brave men usually act under difficul
ties. Whatever else they do, they Invariably do
three things they acknowledge the existence or
their dlflleiiltlcs, take their measure and march
straight up to them, with a clear determination in
their own minds as to the kind and degree or resist
ance which they mean to oppose to them. This is
the proper course to take In the present
instance. We ought clearly to acknowledge
thut there Is danger which, under tavora'ile
rircumstanr.es, would tieeome presdng, of
foreign war with the United states and of civil war
In Ireland. It is also true that, except iu so
far as it puts us morally In a better position, our
policy with regard to the 'Irish Church will lor the
moment rather aggravate than diminish these dan
gors. It will be attributed, and not quite Incorrectly
to tear, aud It will thus encourage our enemies. Un
fortunate as this is, It Is not, as we have already
pointed out, an argument ugalnst the measure,
though it certainly is a consideration which detracts
from Its value. With regard to the course to betaken
for reasserting our position, we can speak ouly in
very general terms. As to Ireland, we clearly ought
to punish and suppress In the most determined and
unqualified way every act or word which falls within
the province of the criminal law; ami we shall have
abundant opportunities at no very distant date of
showing clearly what It is which we do not mean to
concede to priests on the one hand or to rebels on
the other. With regard to America, mere violent
language and outrageous demands made unotllciully
by individuals, however distinguished, cull for no
notice on the part of the nation at large. But the
line of policy to be followed has the advantage of
being perfectly clear, and Mr. Sumner's speech will
at leant enable our government to di aw it. with the
most unmistakable plainness. We ought to be willing
and ready to discuss the question or individual losses
Immediately caused by any act which can be re
garded as negligence on our part; but us to enter
taining the question or paying general damages for
recognizing the Confederates, we onght to be pre
pared to light first, at all hazards and disud vantages.
Women aymiiatp.
Some time ago the Lord Chamberlain of Loudon
issued a decree, calling the attention of the managers
of metropolitan theatres to the immoral tendencies
of the spectacular pieces then being performed, and
gave a gentle hint that If they were indulged in much
longer he would issue a prohibitory order. Now
the J'all Mall Gazette comes out and makes the fol
lowing inquiry:
Has the Chamberlain or his Commissioner ever
seen a band of bounding sisters ? They dress in the
unembarrassed style which for ages has been the
costume of the male acrobat, aud which is very like
that in which they were born. As thev stand in a
line with the men, hands on hips, the difference of
sex Is at llrst scarce perceptible. Nor, indeed, do
they indulge themselves in any reserve of gesture
such as might bo cherished as a relic of modesty.
They form pieces of a pyramid with the men, and
when the pyramid is resolving Itself to bits, are held
by the heels, or distorted in any fashion permitted
by the laws of gravitation. It should also be ot
served that the ladies are subjected to the most
perilous portion or the business, tor the obvious
reason that the spectators have paid their money on
an implied understanding of the sort. To do these
women justice, they do not shrink from feats that
astonish as well as disgust. A few years ago there
was only one Menken, and she had a hard time ot it
if she were as sentimental as her posthumous Sap
phics would suggest; but now we have got far be
yond the wearisome "Mazeppa."
It is a bad sign when a people hunger after cruel
sport, and this female acrobating, if we may use the
term, Is not only unseemly, but cruel to a degree. If
the women are closely watched, it is easy to perceive
that their nerves are not lit for the sad work. Behind
the grin f f the mime there is a look of natural feur
and distrust, as if a ghastly finish to the exhibition
were constantly in sight. Their limbs, too, the arms
especially, tremble when the feat in hand must be
repeated or prolonged. And what sort of training
do these women undergo, brought up from early
girlhood to such a calling ?
A TREMENDOUS REPUTATION.

From the Hartford Evening Pmt.
It's a pretty dull day for lawsuits that Mr. James

And when you come to consider of it a moment,
what a reputation this must have been before ever it

Fisk spreading out his moral character like
a map before the country. Think of the sprigh t li

into Wall street, and commenced unrolling to a
gaping universe the mammoth proportions of his
personal reputation. It was hardly spread, before a
merit-hating, honesty-contemning, and modesty
despising world commenced to throw rotten
oranges at it. A shot from Springfield carried away
l00,ooo worth of it In the twinkling or a bedpost
but the great F'lsk hardly missed It. With
head over his shoulder, he just said to his
attorney, -uring suit for It," and kept on
spreading himself. From some other source we
forget what, for we sat gazing so intently at the
character that we hardly noticed whence came the
attacks on offensive missile slammed up against
it. James merely said over his shoulder, "Sue
him ror a hundred thousand." and the suit was
brought. Then, as the F'isk stood with his face

ages, inscribing in brazen letters, "James Eisk,

Cincinnati, May YZ. The fire which broke
out this morning among the river steamers nt
this city, which resulted in the total destruction
of the boats mentioned, was caused by the up

A hand on the Cheyenne says that all aboard
were asleep when the fire broke ont, and that he

burned to death.
Robert Gamer and wife, colored, were on the
lauding hunting their son, John Gamer, a lad on
tho Darling, supposed to be lost. Officers said
that four or five men were seen to jump off tho
Darling and struggle to get ashore; only one
succeeded. Skiffs went out to rescue them, but
failed. In the midst of the excitement of the
occasion it was difficult to get information that
is entirely satisfactor yin regard to losses. The
following is the estimate placed on the boats,
exclusive of cargo: Clifton, $45,000; Westmore
lnnd, 20,000; Mary Erwin, 0000: Darling,
$ 15,000; Melnotto, $5000; Cheyenne, 35,000.1
At half-past 3 o'clock all that remained of the
steamers was their blackened hulks, in which
the fire was sullenly burning. The Darling was
not entirely consumed, but whatever remained
of the wheel-house and other parts of the boat
stood up like monuments to mark the place
where all that is beautiful in boat mechanism
had in a short time been consumed. The scene
immediately in front of the wharf presented a
spectacle too sad to describe. Six boats. 'side
by side were in ruins. Others had fled to escape
the flames. It was perhaps the saddest scene
they had ever been witnessed in the marine his
tory of Cincinnati.

The easy condition of our banks continues to
act favorably on the loan market, which is with
out any change cither In tone or rates. Call
loans remain rather quiet at 57 per cent, on
(iovermnent and miscellaneous collaterals, and
discounts at 6(5 8 per cent for first-class paper.
In Government bonds there has been more
firmness in the home than In foreign markets
for several weeks, which was doubtless the
effect of a false impression among tho
brokers as to the disposal of the bond purchases
by Mr. Boutwcll. The announcement has just
been made that the withdrawal mav he final or
temporary, just as the wants of the Treasury may
demand, and that meanwhile the interest alone
on those withdrawn will be saved. The effect of
this thunderbolt has been a sensible weakening
of the market. Though this new plan may sub
ject the Secretary to much unjust criticism in
case of resale, we cannot help regarding It In a
favorable light, as the best under the circum
stances, l
Governments arc weak, and so far, have de
clined about per cent, on opening prices.

ing any bonds purchased by him to the ereation of a milk

of this was to harden gold, which, nponing at t.T7 rapid v

1'ii rallying later, however, and closing in thi Oold

aided by despatches stating that bonds bad fallen oft in

Cuhan successes. Business waa continued after til? ad
journment of the board at the high figure, but upon the
receipt of improved quotations in London, the premium
declined and stood at the close 137 VJf l:i7 St. Just ahout
this time also information waa received, although not gene
rally circulated, that the statement credited to Secretary
Koutwell of his intention to reissue whatever bonds be
might purchase, if be saw at, waa never made by him.
The contradiction was by his authority, and contained the '
additional announcement that he would not reissue,
"This bit of telegraphic sensation appears to have been
a stork jobbing falde, concocted in the interest nf the gold
gamblers operating for a rise in the premium and decline
