WASHINGTON, July LIST, 1910.
IN SENATE.

An attempt was made by Mr.. RuSgles, TO have
the President communicate the copy of the sur
vey of the British government, in rslation to the
northeastern boundary, but his resolution was
not acted ON, Mr.. Buchanan stating that but one
copy had been received, as an act of courtesy on
the part of the British government, and that the
President had requested, after it had been used
by the committees on foreign relations in the two
houses, that it should be returned.

whole page, consisting of eight columns of close

produces ready made Shirts The natives off pieces
of the tree abont two feet long, from which they draw
