in purchasing the lot limited to a few
acres around il, came up for considera-

The principal point Of attack ;oflthe

OEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, December 26, 1910.
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge,
and have laid before the President, your
letter of the 18th instant, touching the
arrest and imprisonment of Alexander
Mcleod, British subject, and late Dep
uty Sheriff of the Niagara District, in
Upper Canada, OH charge of murder
and arson, as having been engaged in the
capture and destruction of the steamboat
"Caroline," in the month Of December,
1887 in respect TO which you state that
you feel it your duty to call upon the
Government of the United States to take
prompt and effectuaI steps for the liberia
ton of Mr.. Mcleod and to prevent 9th.
ers Of the subjects of her Majesty, the
Queen Of Great Britain, from being per
secuted or molested in similar manner,
for tho future.
This demand, with the grounds upon
which it Is made, has been duly consid-
cred by the President, with sincere de-
sine to give TO it such a reply as will not
only manifest proper regard for the
character and rights Of the United States,
but, at the same time, tend TO preserve
the amicable relations which, SO advan-
AgeOusly for both, subsist between this
country and England. Of the reality Of
this disposition, and of the uniformity
with which it has been evinced in the
many delicate and difficult questions
which have arisen between the two coun-
tries in The last few years, no one can be
more convinced than yourself. II is
then with unEeigned regret that the
President finds himself unable to recog.
nize The validity ofa demand, compl-
aBce with which you deem SO material
to the preservation Of the good under
standing which has been hitherto mani
tested between the two countries.
The jurisdiction Of the several States
which constitute the Union is, within its
appropriated sphere perfectly indepen-
dent Of the Federal Government. The
offence with which Mr.. Mcleod is charg-
ed was committed within the territory,
and against The laws aud citizens Of the
Stale ofNew York, and is one that comes
clearly within The competency Of her iri-
buhals. It dOss,, not, therefore present
an occasion where, UNDER the COnstitu-
tion and laws Of the Union, the iGterposi-
ton called for would be proper, or tor
which warrant can be foundsin the pow
ers with which the Federal Executive is
invested. Nor would the circumstances
to which you have referred. oEthe Feas

SIR: The Secretary of State, to whom
has been referred the resolution Of the
House Of Representatives, dated the 2lst
instant, requesting the President ''tO
communicate to that House (if not in his
opinion incompatible with the public in
terest) all the correspondence between
this Government and that of Great Brit.
ain, or the officers or agents of either, or
the officers and agents of this Government
with the President or any of its Depart

communicated to that House, on the SUBJ

being made TO the owner of said boat for
the loss thereof; and, also, whether any
communications have been made to this
Government in regard to the arrest and
imprisonment Of Mcleod, by the
authorities Of the State of New York, for
being concerned in said outrage; and, If
so, that he communicate a copy thereof
