MIR. CLAYTON. Mr.. President, perhaps il may not be
stale now ia reference this subject which is
very interesting 70 the agrcusts Of the United states
that the executive department has heretofore exerted itself
procure treaty with peu, pacAg trade ia guano,
and IL other respects, the footing OF the favored
nations. While was in the State Department made eff
forts 70 have such treaty concluded and after very long
negotiation with the Peruvian unister here Mr. Trado,
did al last, succeed in making treaty, which hoped
would have accomplished the object which these petitioners
have "a view Ihatreaty sent 10 the Senate, and con-
hncd, believe, without any opposition. IL then
med To the Peruvian but under the influence
as believe ofhe British capitalists, who interested the
guano Of the Chneha islands, the treaty defeated. The
government Of Peru refused confirm and Indeed the
thores there became much neensed that they recalled
Mr. 1lrado, AMI sent Gil his place here
t1nk the facts IN regard the subject may he briefly
and correy stated thus: When Peru achieved her indie.
peudenee she did by the aid Of British capitalists, who
loaned her twenty millions That became her revol-
tonary debt To that debit the government Great
Bmin at The solicitation of these capitalists, made treaty
with Peru by which they nave oneha the pro-
ceeds Of the Peruvian guano sold by under the author
y Of the Peruvian government both 10 British and TO Amer
purchasers. Well sir the unders anng and bargain,
understood myself was that these capitalists were to
employ the shipping 10 transmit the guano 70 markets and
they 10 be allowed settlement with Peru the net
proceeds Of reigha, insurance. and commissions Thus
they acquired the exclusive carrying trade to very great
statement which have made, sir, how deeply these capi.
taists interested have yet learned that that debt
has been paid If they retain the power which they
originally mad the subject doubtless they would be VIII
ling TO advance the money long the government Of
Peru shall choose TO ask il.
Under these circums ances the committee perfectly right
IN saying that Congress do nothing The whole matter
properly rerabe, the report proposes refer the
executive department. do not know what the Executive
conempates, but do suppose that until the influence of
these capitalists be in way aubyered controlled
shall be able to participate in the guano carrying
