Isotis parties agreed in many wo.ds. that neither

exercise dominion over any part OF Central Anne

@ with Great Britain that government still persists

9Th of July, 1880 She continues, in violation OF her
solemn engagement TO occupy and fortify various

&c. who desires to seek for truth in investigating this
subject to overlook the fact that Great Britain
placed herself all the passages to California

gzi The purpose of the movement Is as obvious as
, the fact itself. This il practical question and
one Of great moment The United States cannot
@ permit its road TO California TO be fenced up She
must insist upon the mantainance of the treaty by
Great Britain in good faith We trust that the
gacy and love of justice and fair play, character
ietic of the English people will interpose, and by
