ut prejudice to any clalm which either of

ountry; and with this further provision,
n the second article of the said conven.

arty might abrogate and annul said con.
enlron, on giving due notice OF twelve
months TO the other contracting party
bat it has now become desirable that the
espectye claims OF Great Britain and the
United States should be definitely settled,

be confusion and conflict of national u-
isdlcIions, dangerous to the cherished !
eace and understanding Of the two coun. 4
rles. And, therefore, that steps be taken I

a lis ID article, and that the attention of /
he governments Of both countries may be Z

hereby authorized, at his discretion, to t,

sqnired by its said second article for the
