THE subscriber having regular cor
rcspondence with Mr. Ienry How rd.
Merchant Tailor, Baltimore, OF whom hs
receives the earliest change of fashion, as
sures tho gentlemen and lldies of thus part
of the couniry, that it is no longer necessa-
ry for them to resort to any Seaport Town
to have their clothes made in the neatess
fashion and in the best msnner-And from
the very long experience he has had in
making clothes for the Friends and other
plain people, he is confident if they would
favor him with call, that they would be
much pleased with his work.
Fullers and Farmers
may rely on having their home made cloth
cut and made so that it will wear smooth
and easy, without drawing.-He tenders
his most grateful acknowledgements to. .
generous public, for the very liberal en-
consignment he has received since his COM
meneement in business in this place, and
hopes that durable work, done with dis
patch aud at moderate prices, will insure
him continuance.

repeated declarations Of the British pleui.
pOtentiSFies, that Great Britain had no
view to acquisition of territory, in this ne
gotiation, deem it unnecessary TO add, that
the utility of its continuance depends on
their adherence to this principle.
The undersigned having declared in their
note of 2lst of August, that although in
structed and prepared to enter into an
amicable discussion of all the points, on
which differences or uncertainty had ex-
listed, and which might hereafter tend to
interrupt the harmony of the two countries,
they would not make the conclusion of the
peace at all depend upon successful re.
suit OF the discussion, and having since a
greed to the preliminary ARTICLE proposed
by the British government, had believed
that the negotiation, already so long pro-
tracted, could not be brought to an early
conclusion otherwise than by the commu.
nlcation OF project, embracing all the
Other specific propositions which g. Bri-
tain intended to offer. They repeat their
request in that respect, and will have no
objection to Simultaneous exchange of the
projects of both parties. This course will
bring fairly into discussion the other topics
embraced in the last note of the Brush
pienipotentiaries, to which the undersigned
have thought i. unnecessary to advert al the
present time.
The undersigned renew to the British
plenipotentiares the assurance oftheir high
consideration.

2lTH OCTOBER, 1914.

The undersigned have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of the note OF the
British plenipotentiaries of the 2lst inst.
Anon gst the general observations which
the undersigned, in their note of the Gath
August, made on the propositions then
brought forward on the part of the British
government, they remarked that those pro-
positions were founded neither on the ba-
sis Of uti. possidetis, nor on that OF status
ante belum. But so far we're they from
suggesting the uti possidetis as the basis
on which they were disposed to treat, that
in the me note they expressly stated that
they had been instructed to conclude a
peace on the principle of both parties res
toring whatever territory they might have
taken. The undersigned also declared in
that note, that they had no authority to
ceae any part of the territory Of the U.
States, aud that to no stipulation to that
effect would they subscribe ), and in the
mole of the 9th September, after having
shown that the basis of uti possidetis, such
asst was known to exist at the commence
ment of the negotiation, gave no claim to
his Britannia Majesty to cessions of terri
tory founded upon the right of conquest,
they added that even if the chances of war
should give to the British arms momen-
tary possession of other parts OF the ter
ritory of the United States, such events
would not alter their views, with regard
10 the terms of peace to which they would
give their consent.
The undersigned can now only repeat
those declarations and decline treating up
en- the basis Of uti possidetis, or aPea- any o,
sher principle involving cession of any part
of the territory u S As they have uni
SornIy stated, they can tleat only upon the
principle Of mutual restoration of whate
YER territory may have been taken by Ell
shsr party. From this principle they can
net reeede, and tbs Undersigned after the
