OREGON AND THE NOTICE.

joint occupancy of thistcrritory bctweenthe two
governments. That which a short time ago was
uncertain and precarious is now no longer doubt
lul. The notice will surely be given, unless the
Senate reject, and the question settled at once.
1t has ever seemed TO us that the giving Of this
notice was the only proper mode Of settling this
question. il is truc that the bii! which passed the
lower House provides for negotiation, certainly 4
term of doubtful import. We were careless as
10 the manner in which we get possession Of
Oregon. Certainly we should prefer 10 get il
without the loss of blood; tat ue rant Il. .riohe
or none. If we can get the whole by p"scyiul
negotiation well and good; the molus operandi is
lmmaterial; but we cannCt bring ourselves to he
lieve that the American people will stand by idly
without a murmur and see themselves stripped
and dismantled of hundreds of miles of their
cars OF those who participate in it. We have en-
tire confidence in the patriotism and integrity Of
Col. Po.k; he VIII doubtless do al! in his power
10 carry out his own avowed principles and those
proclaimed by the Baltimore Convention in .uay
1914. but we doubt the action Of the Senate
What their action may be we know not, but fear
ing We wait thcresult. Subjoined will be found
the action of the lower House upon the subiec,
with the ayes and noes.
lnthe House, Mr.. Boyd, of Kentucky, offered
the following as a substitute for the bill movcdby
Mr.. Dromgoole, and as a substitute also for the
original resolution reported from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs:

cerilnS the territory on the northwest coast of A.
merlca, west of the Stony Mountains, shall be an
nuiled and abrogated twelve months after piyino
said notice.
find be i.fwiher Resolrsd, That nothing here

and discretion of the proper authorities of the
