cabinet and parliament in power. Lord Granville,
then Secretary Of State, was appointed to meet Mr..
Jay, with full powers to confer and conclude treaty
The negotiation was difficult and complicated in the
extreme To facilitate the discussion of matters
in dispute, it was proposed by Mr.. Jay, and agreed
to by Lord Grenyie, to dispense with the usual
form of diplomatic notes, and to meet and discuss in
convention the points in controversy. No notes
were taken of these conversations, the two ministers
only being present at the meetings. without secreta
RES Atlength, after long and tedious negotiation,
the work was brought to an amicabe termination,
by the terms agreed upon Tor treaty, and then
retares and copyists had ample occupation. The
treaty was signed on the 18th November, 1894.
Three objects were contemplated by Mr.. jays IN
structions. These WERE a compensation for the
losses sustained by American merchants in conse-
quence Of the British orders in council, settlement
o. all existing disputes in relation to- the treaty of
peace OF 1858, and commercial treaty. The treaty
was to remain in force for twelve years. In letter
to the Secretary of State, Mr.. Jay observed /" The
difficulties which retarded its accomplishment, fre
quently had the appearance of being insurmounta
ble They have ut last yielded to notifications and
to that mutual disposition TO agree which reconciled
Lord Chenille and myself to an unusual degree Of
or conjecture that treaty more favorable to us is
attainabe." Mr.. Jay returned to the United States
in the spring Of 1895. It's well known that this treaty
WIS exceedingly unpopular with the democratic or
republican party in the United States. President
Washington submitted it 70 the Senate, on the sth
June, 1875, and it was ratified by that body the
Gath Of that month, with the exception Of arti
Gle which regulated the trade between the United
States and ~ie West Indies. The President signed
the treaty in August, and it was ratified in the usual
form, October Is, 1895.
The treaty restored the posts on the western from
tier to the Americans they having been held by the
English Tor twelve years in violation Of the treaty OF
1888. With one exception, il removed everv cause OF
war. The exception was, the right claimed by Eng
land to impress hN own seamen when found on board
neutral vessels at sea. Great commercial privileges
were secured. contributing TO the wealth aud pros
perity OF the United States. The compensation for
British spolation on American commerce, secured
by this treaty amounted TO over ten millions OF dol
lars, which was paid to American merchants. The
treaty ratified by Great Britain was laid by the Presi
dent before Congress, March /, l79G. Attempts
were made in the House TO refuse the necessary ap.
preparations to carry il into effect. but after long de-
bates, the requisite laws were passed by small
majority,
