dispatch at least sIBiTraIion, nor shall we
,eEaJeHt to submit any question to the de-
cision of the Commission unless all claims
at issue between the two Governments are
submitted also. 1t is probable that Mr..

know what topics werO intended 70 come
before the Commission suggested by Lord
Russell as a necessary preliminary to an
acceptance or declination of it.
