The rumor that important letters were received
here by the last steamer. showing that the govern
ment of Grea, Britain is well disposed 10 settle the
Oregon affair and also TO repeal their corn laws and
food taxes, which will be so greatly beneficial to
the interests of the United States, is now very sat
isfactory confirmed.
Mr.. Aliens proposition to abrosate the conven'
ton of 1927, and direct the President to issue his
Proclamation for the occupation OF Oregon, III 'he
end of twelve months has been reported. II cse'
ated much sensation here. The notice, II seems,
was considered by some as pacific measure, bu
this Is not so considered by every ono.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL, 1916.
A messenger especially dispatched from Next
co, by Mr.. SIdell, to this government, arrived here
last evening. He left Vera Cruz in vessel thai
sailed December 18th. The purport Of the intel
ligence brought here is not yet known. lhe
probability is, that ii brings intelligence, that
| treaty will or will NO; be made, probably moi
Mexico, as has been suggested by some here, whl
are we'll acquainted with her politics, will not wall
10 see the issue Of the difficulty between this coun
try and England. The American troops have
| been ordered TO the Rio Grande, which shows tha
our government is prepared 10 negotiate at the can
mons mouth. "Ths," as Mr.. Adams says, !:
" tho military way Of doing business"
Mr.. Hunter has made in his speech very i'm
portan, suggestion of q mode Of getting out OF ouI
difficulty with Great Britain. 1t corresponds with
hints which have heard in other quarters, OF q
plan for dropping the present measures, as re-
commended BY the President, and substituting
more mastery, but less acfire policy, provided
the wesiarn mon sill nssani To :, Il 10 IL"
Continue entirely any negotiation on the subject
and extend our laws over our citizens in Oregon
aid provide for their protection from Indians, and
here is the most important point--appropriate q
few hundred thousand dollars a year for the for
nation Of the settlement and colonization OF the
territory. BY this means, in five years we shal
be in actual possession Of the country, both nortl
and south Of the Columbia; and we should have
rifles enough there TO overcome any power which
at any future time, could be brought against US
! This will give US the country up 10 81 deg. 4s
min., ard avoid war. All we have to do is Il
drop this Notice Bill, and let the negotiation re
main suspended. Great Britain cannot give US thu
notice to terminate the convention because she hal
no claim nor pretence 10 sovereignty in the soil
But suppose she did waive, she would then leav'
the ofensye and assume the aggressive course.--
We should have the advantage, and great one
it is Of being in the right before oil the world.
The joint resolution reported from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs in the Senate, is considered
as aggressive in its character towards England
and an Infringement on the constitutional preroga
tive Of the President. lf that measure pass ther
we must indeed, as the Union and New Yorl
News say, prepare for the rorsl."
