treaty with the Fejee islands reached the
department of State at Washington. 1t is
a whales tooth. richly varicgated in color,
with strongly twisted grass cord at the
ends. By it the King mortgages his
islands to the United States for three
years as security for the payment of
the remaining installment of indemnity
on account of his subjects having eaten
some American sailers, many years ago. ago.
The P1kident is to prevent the rival King

tions are that if the President accepts the
tooth the treaty is to be considered estab-
lished, otherwise it is to be returned.
