PROPOSITIONS.

heretofore made by the Government of the United
States to that Of Great Britain, for the adjustment
OF the Western boundary dispute ~ bea i.
!. The proposition first made by the United States
was, that the 49th parallel Of latitude; which had
been adopted as the dividing lire between their
territories and thoseof Great Britain from the vi
cinity of the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky
Mountains, should be continued westward as far
as the possessions Of the two Nations extended in
that dlrecti on-thus Offering to resign their right
to what lay farther North. This being rejected it
was agreed that, as neither party claimed perfect
title to any portion of the country, the whole
should be left free and open to the people Of both
for ten7years. nelly ssft.eg, 5afss
Within those ten years, the title Of Spain to all
North of the 42d parallel, was surrendered to the
United States; and Russia engaged to make no set
Element South of the latitude Of 54 degrees 40
minutes. The American Government, thereupon
proposed an agreement, by which Great Britain
should make no settlements South Of the 5lst par
allel. and the United, States should make none
North Of that line, substituting afterwart the 49th
parallel for the 51st; and then, in 1894, came the
first definite proposition from Great Britain, for
partition of the territory. The line Of separation
was to run along the 49th parallel from the Rocky
Mountains to a large branch of the Columbia,
down which branch aforesaid, and down the main
stream, it was to be continued to the sea. Great
line, except the United States, should possess a
small detached territoyyin the angle formed be-
tween the Pacific shore and the Southern side OF
the Strait of Fuca, comprising one harbor for small
vessels on the Strait Upon this the negotiation
ended. a3 qo.a b ga aa ifa 31s
In 1895, the United States, for the first time,
proposed the 49th parallel, the de6ntive line Of
boundsy from the Rocky Mountains to the open
Pacific; to which the British replied, by repeat

party would yield more; and sc, after formally
Withdrawing their respective offers, by which each
declared that it was in no wise to be considered
bound thereafter. they reviewed the agreement, to
leave the country open the people of both, for
an indefinite period; subject, however, TO be ter
minated after years notice of such intention by
either to the other. That agreement still subsiss.
