the treaty save 4 peace measure, and ridcul-
ed the idea of an apology from England, and
declared that she never made any.

of Landerdale. He said that it was nconve-
nient now to discuss the terms of the treaty
He personally sympathsed as little with Mr..
Sumner as with Lord Landerdale The
treaty was not treaty until ratified. 1t had
already been published in the United States,
for the American Senate had commenced an
investigation into the surreptious means by
which it had been obtained for publication
Tie said should it be submitted to Parliament,
it was impossible to anticipate the decision of
the Senate.
Granville declined to pledge the govern
ment to refuse to ratify the treaty before
June 18th, simply because notice had been
given of an intention to raise discussion on
il in Parliament.

Marquis of Salisbury only desired an oppor-
tunity to discuss the treaty before the ratifca-
tons were exchanged. 1t was understood,
moreover, that the Canadian Parliament was
to be consulted.
Earl Granville stated that the official copy
of the treaty was only received by the gov
eminent yesterday. 1t was now printed, and
would be submitted on Tuesday Other Off
cial documents will be withheld pending the
debate in the Senate of the United States
