the esult If the labors assigned to the commits
sioners, that they have satisfactorily ascertained by
strict investigation Of the face Of the country, by
an industrious perusal and comparison OF charters
treaties, transfers of territory, and other historical
records, the absolute and lndispuabie conformity
between the intent and spirit of the treaty Of 1888 and

for by Great Britain; that portion of the " dis

that treaty, with any color of Justice have been
claimed by the United States that the award of the

that the award Of that sovereign if accepted b. the
