DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, Dec. 10, 1916.

The President has received information,
from variety Of sources, which ne cannot
disregard, that Great Britain is now ma
king extensive warlike preparations. As
her relations with all the powers of Europe
seem at present to be of peaceful charac-
ter, the prevailing and natural inference
here is that these preparations look to a
rupture with the United States on the Ore
gon question. 1t is of vast Importance
that this government should, as early az
possible, ascertain their true character
You are therefore instructed to embrace
the first opportunity of bringing this sub
ject to the notice of the Earl of Aberdeen,
in such manner as you may deem most
expedient.
The President is also
aoxious to learn your own opinion upon
this subject with the least practicable delay.

WASHINGTON, December 81, lS45.
An attentive consideration of the pres
ent state of affairs. with reference to the
Oregon question, has determined the Brit
sh government to instruct the undersigned,
her Brtanic Majesty's envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary, again
to represent in pressing terms to the gov
eminent of the United States the expedi-
ency of referring the whole of an equita-
BILE division of that territory to the arbi-
tra,ion of some friendly sovereign orState.
Her Maesty's government deeply regret
the failure of all their efforts TO effect a
friendly settlement of the conflicting claims
by direct negotiation between the two gov
| ernments.
They are still persuaded that great ad-
vantages would have resulted to both par
ties from such mode of settlement, had it
been practicable, but there are difficulties
now in the way in that course of proceed.
| ing which it might be tedious to remove,
while the importance of an early settle
ment seems 10 become at each moment
more urgent.
Under these circumstances, her MaIesty's
government think that resort TO arbitra-
ton is the most prudent, and, perhaps, the
ONLY feasible step which could be taken,
and the best calculated TO allay the existing
efervescene of popular feeling which might
otherwise greatly embarrass the efforts of
both governments to preserve friendly
understanding tetween tibet wo countries.
The government of the United States
will see in the proposal which the under
signed is thus instructed 10 make, proof
of the confidence Of the British govern
ment in the Justice Of their own claim.
4 They will also see in il proof of the read
mess of the British government to incur
the risk of great sacrifice for the preser-
i. walton Of peace and Of their friendly rela-
tons with the United States. 1t is made
, in spirit Of moderation and fairness OF
:. which the world will Judge.
2 The British government confidently hope
/ that the government Of the United States
e will not reject the proposal made with such
. friendly intention, and for a purpose $50

!; There is nothing in it, they are con-
0 WINGED, not perfectly compatible with the

$ teres,s of both parties, particularly when i
s is considered Of what small value TO either
i in the portion Of territory which in reality
e forms the subject of controversy, compared

Mr.. McLane TO Mr.. Buchanan.

LONDON, Jan. 3, 1876.
SIR: | received on the Goth of Decem-
Der your despatch, dated the 18th of that
month; and on the day following, sought
an interview with Lord Aberdeen. in order
that, in conformity with your instructions,
| might bring TO his notice the warlike
preparations making by Great Britain, and
if possible. ascertain their real character
and object.
1t will not escape you that upon such
subject it is not always easy to obtain very
categorical answers, or entirely definite of.
fetal information; and did not doubt that
frank personal conference was the best,
if not the only mode of obtaining any sat
| isfactory information whatever.
In introducing the subject, advected at
the same time to the information the Pres
ident had received from a variety of sour
ces of the extensive war.like preparations
making by Great Britain and the natural
inference upon his part that in the present
pacific state of the relations Of Great Brit
ain with all the powers of Europe, they
could only look to a rupture with the Uni,
ted States on the Oregon question.
Lord Aberdeen said very promptly and
frankly that it would be improper to dis
guise that, with the sncerest desire to avoid
it, they were obliged to look to the possibil.
ity of rupture with the United States;--
and that in such crisis the war.ike prep
arations now making would be useful and
important; but he stated at the same time
very positively and distinctly, that they had
no direct reference to such rupture, and
| haan ia in tho
and to the same extent, without regard tc
the relations of Great Britain and the Uni
ted States.
He also adverted to the fact that suci
preparations as were actually making hat
been commenced before the relations be
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain had become as serious as they now ap
peared to be, and therefore could not a
that time have had any connexion with dill
t ficultes which had since grown out of tn
Oregon question. He thought. too, tina
the representations as 10 the extent Of III
preparations must have been exaggerated
He denied that they related particularly, a
, had been informed, to a distant service
! or that they were making any addition t
:, the old form of marine. He stated tina
It the most extensive and formidable part
= of their preparations were the fertilization
u of the principal and exposed ports and sts
tions, which he thought could hardly b
supposed guard against invasion from II
United Slater; and to the increase of ii
" number of steam-vessels in lieu of the Of
y, 70 craft, which it appeared other nations wei
,e about to adopt, and which he confessed |
e thought matter of doubtful policy.
to short, he assumed the preparations in pr
!, gress TO be only part Of wise and pr
4 dent system Of national defence and pr

fortunately come from any quarter what

mer that they had no particular orr direct ref
erence to aTupture with the United States
on the Oregon question, or on any other
ground.
In regard to my own opinion upon this
subject, which the President has been
pleased TO desire,
probable that the possibility Of other diff
culties from other quarters in Europe
may have its influence in debating the pol
icy Of the extensive preparations in pro-
gress in all parts Of the kingdom; and,
with undated confidence in the frankness
and straightforwardness of Lord Aberdeen,
and without meaning to distrust in the
slightest degree the sincerity of his disclai-
mers in our recent conversation, / do not
think it ought to be assumed by any one
that war-like preparations upon such a scale
as that upon which they are undeniably
making here could have even an indirect
reference to the possible contingency of
rupture with us. And at the same time il
is perfectly obvious that they are in great
degree, and especially so far as they consist
of an augmentation in the number of steam
vessels and of the naval marine generally,
precisely of the character TO be the most
appropriate and the most useful in war
with our country. | am not prepared to
say, nor do deem it material to decide,
how far we have right to expect an ex-
p1ic,t l;ec1a rs tho oh Of and
poses Of the war-like preparations now ma
king by Great Britain under the circum-
stances. They may be the dictate of va
rious motives of policy, and the result of
many causes; and, without attempting to
assign to each its particular intiu ence, am
by no means prepared to admit that the
apprehension of difficulties with the Uni
ted States had no share in them; and it is
very clear that if a rupture with the Uni
ted States should grow out Of. our present
difficulties, this country will be as fully and
effectuaiiy prepared for it at all points, and
for all possible purposes, as if that, and
that alone, had been the object of all her
war-ke preparations. She will be in a
situation to act and strike as promptly and
sgnally as she could have been with her
energies exclusively directed to that end;
and | feel it my duty to add, that not to ex.
pect, in case rupture becomes unavoida.
BILE, that this government, thus in complete
armor, will promptly and vigorously exert

A DAMPER TO ELoQUENCE.


Amusing scenes occur occasionally in
grave assemblies. During the late ses-
sion ofthe New Hampshire Legislature,
a newly fedged orator rose to make his
maiden speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives. A bill had been brought in TO
tax bank dividends, and watching his op-
portunity, the debm1nt addressed the
chair: "Mr. Speaker the gentleman
from Dover, who introduced this bill, does
not seem TO be aware Of its inevitable re-
suits. He would strip The widov-"
(roars of laughter. and cries of-the Wild
ow who!-What widow!-not in this
public hall, l hope, g.
As soon as the tumnit subsided in
some degree, and the orator could make
himself heard, he Indignantly proceeded:
"Gentlemen need not think to put me
down by clamor. Is there no sympathy.
here for the widow and orphan! | say
sir, that this is worse than stripping.
Put on the tax and | say you drive the
widow to her last shift"
Here the clanor became so great, that
the speaker despairing of a hearing, re-
sumed his seat. II was almost ten MN
utes before the House could transact its
regular business.
