The Courier and Enquirer of this morning
publishes the following most important Por-
ton of the Treaty, with brief sketch OF
the remainder)
A TREATY
To settle and define the boundaries be-
tween the Territories of the United
States and the possessions of Her Br-
fannie Majesty in North America, for
the final suppression of the African
slave trade, and for the giving up of
Criminals, fugitives from justice, in GER
tain cases.
Whereas, certain portions of the line of
boundary between the United States of
America and the British Dominions in
North America, described in the second
article of the Treaty of Peace of 1888.
have not yet been ascertained and deter
mined, notwithstanding the repeated at
tempts which have been heretofore made
for that purpose; and whereas, it is now
thought to be for the interest of both par
ties, that, avoiding further discussion of
their respective rights, arising in this re-
spect under the said treaty, they should
agree on conventional line in said por-
tions of the said boundary, such as may be
convenient to both parties, with such equiv
alents and compensations, as are deemed
lust and reasonable: and whereas, by the
treaty concluded at Client, on the Gath day
of December, 1914, between the United
States and His Britannia Majesty, an arti-
Gle was agreed to and inserted of the fol-
lowing tenor, viz: cart. 10. Whereas, the
traffic in slaves is irreconcilable with the
principles of humanity and Justice: and
whereas, both his Ma esty and the United
States are DESTROYS of continuing their
efforts to promote its entire abolition, il
is hereby agreed that both the contracting
parties shall use their best endeavors to
accomplish so desirable an object" And
whereas, Notwithstanding the laws which
have at various times been passed by the
two governments, and the efforts made to
suppress it, that criminal traffic is still
prosecuted and carried on: And whereas,
the United States Of America. and Her
Majesty. the Queen of the United King
dom Of Great Britain and Ireland, are de-
tcrmined that, SO far as may be in their
power, ii shall be efectuaIiy abolished:
And whereas, it is found expedient for the
better administration Of justice and the
prevention of crime within the territories
and jurisdiction Of the Two parties respec-
j lively. that persons committing the crimes
hereinafter enumerated and being fugi-
tives from justice-should, under circum-
stances, be reciprocally delivered up: The
United States of America and Her Bri.
fannie Majesty, having resolved to treat on
those several subjects, have for that pur.
pose appointed their respective Plenipoten.
