tees appointed to carry them into effect:

ReSOlUed, That we recommend The adoption
of similar policy to the people of all the States
of the Union ready aud willing to act, and also
thorough concert and cooperation among

Our Relations with England.

WASHINGTON, May 30.
The President sent A message to the Senate
yesterday, on the proposition Of England TO ar
bitrate the Central American question, but 1t
was not open. The message merely encloses
letter to MIR Dallas. dated gath May, ON the sub
iect Of tie differences between the British Gov
ernmcnt and that Of the u. S, regarding the
construction and effect of the convention of the
10Th April, 1886, and the subject OF Central
America generally, and stating to Mr.. Dallas
the views which the President entertains of that
question as it now stands, in order that he may
communicate the same to the Earl of Clarendon
After reviewing the circumstances of the case
he winds up as follows You are instructed
therefore to enter into communication with her
Majesty's Secretary of foreign affairs in relation
to Central America, in order TO ascertain in the
first place whether the existing difficulties
not be promptly terminated by direct negoti-
ations and if they cannot, then to discuss the
conditions of arbitration upon those points of
difference to which alone the matter of settle
ment seems requisite or applicable, it being as
sumed that other points of difference would af-
ter that yield, as matter of course. The con-
ference between the Earl of Clarendon and your
self, should be conducted in the spirit of cordi-
ality and friendship, which belong to your per-
sonal relations, and which is directed by the
true interests both Of the u. S. aud Great Bri-
tain.
