the Imperial Court
The more importance attach to the maintenance OF
friendly relations between The United States and Eng
land, the more must regret an accident which has
come TO add so grave complication to question already
brstng With 80 many difficulties
Without having the intention 70 enter here upon an
examination into the question Of right We nevertheless
cannot but acknowledge that according TO the notions
ot international law adopted by a tie powers and which
the American Government itself has oftsn aken a. tho

ton for il.
IL seems to u.s. moreover, that the request, rducfd
