the banks to provide for the expenses that we
must expect that resort to hostities the Oregon

affected by any cause which interrupts commerce.

lar and il is generally hoped in the city that ia
vorable opportunity may not be lost for negotiating
upon equally favorable to both countries, for the
settlement of the Oregon dispute.
