 The proposition tisl made by ihe United States was, that the 18th parallel o latitude, which had been adopted as tie dividing line between their ter ritnres and those of Grent Britain, from ihe vicn- " oG le Lake ui tie Woods to the Rocky Mountains, }, shoui be continued westward as far the possess sions oi he two nation extended in that direction -hus ol,'r,ng to resign their right to wlai lav far ther north.

 Within ten years the title of Spain to all north oi the 42d parallel was surrendered 10 the U States i; and Russin engaged 10 make no settlements south oi ihe latitude of 54 degrees 10 minutes. The Ameri- can government iIiereupon proposed agreement, b, which Great Britain should make settlements south of ihe 5ls' parallel, ami the United States should make none nor,e Of that line. substituting al- ierward the 49h parallel for the 5lsi; and then, in lS24 came The first definite proposition from Great Britain for that poItiun of the territory. The line of separation was to run along the 18th parallel from the Rocky Mountains to q la,ge branch of the Col umbia, down which, and down ihe main stream, 1t to he continued io the sea Great Britain was have ali north and west of this lne. except that the United States should possess a small detaehed territory in the angle formed between the Pacific shore and the southern side of ihe Slrait of Fuca, comprising harbor for small vessels on the and one for large vessels on the strait. Upon this the negotiation ended.
 In 1926, the UnIled States, for the first time. pro- posed Ihe 49th parallel, he defnive line of boun- diary, from the Rocky Mountains to the open Pacific to which lhe British replied by repeating their pro- position ns ahove stated. Neither rariy would yield more; and so, aiier formally withdrawing their res- peciive offers, by which each declared that il was in no wise to be considered bound lhereaf CT. they re newed the agreement, to leave ihe country open to the people of boh for an indefinite period; subject however, to be terminated after years notice of such intention by ei'her to the other.
