Seward had said about the Stanley treaty.
Lord Clarendon took the matter iuto con-

The Negotiations with England

The correspondence between our govern
ment and Great Bratain for the last fifteen
months, relating to the citizenship cues
ton, the San Juan boundary question, and
the Alabama claims question, has been
printed and makes document of one hum
dred and fifty pages, Of which one-half is
devoted to Fenian and citizenship qucs-
tions. The following abstract of it is in
teresting, as showing the promptings and
directions under which Hon. Reverdy
Johnson acted in the negotiations:
The instructions of the State Department
to Mr.. Re7erdy Johnson, dated on the Goth
of last July direct him to press @ settle
ment at the earliest possible day on the
question !; then to dispose Of
the San Juan boundary matter, and finally
take up the subject Of mutual claims. He
was not to do anything definite with this
last matter until tho other two questions
were in process o. settlement. Mr.. John
September last. He found him specially
anxious TO fix up the citizenship question,
and the protocol was signed on the 9th of
October, and approved by the President
on the 25th of that month. The San Juan
treaty was pat into shape about the middle
of October. Early in November Mr.. Sew
ard wrote a letter asking that it be
amended so as to leave the whole subject
explicitly to the President of Switzerland.
He was at first very anxious to have this
treaty signed, but in the latter part of this
month be directed that Mr.. Johnson's sig
nature be withheld until the question about
the claims treaty was settled.
The first draft of the claims convention
was signed by Lord Stanley and Mr.. John
son on the 10th of November. 1t consist
ed of twelve articles, and provided, among
other things, that the commission for the
settlement of the claims should never meet
at London. Mr.. Seward on the 9th of
November wrote long letter taking de-
cided ground against the terms of the docu-
N it. He said that the commission must
meet in Washington; that our commission
ers must be confirmed by the Senate, and
that all claims should be treated on the
same basis. Mr.. Johnson had consented
that the Alabama claims must be settled
by a unanimous vote of the commission,
while the others were to be settled by a
majority vote, and that the arbitrator on
the Alabama claims must be agreed upon
by both governments. while in the other
cases he could be chosen by lot. Mr..
Seward objected to all this, said that
MIR. Johnson had allowed discrimination
against the Alabama claims, and pretty
