Treaty. of Washington. 1t is known that the
Ministry desire notifications. but of such a
character a. tn be- inadmSSlhlc by our Go
Ny!nmrnt, and OF this they have been in
formed. According to official uttcranccS, it
remains for England to accept the article rs
modified, as this is the extent to which the
tn, i,irnt and hi~ advisers are willing to so.
The President has. as he remarked to i'll
q.j.crs. surrendered his personal views To
Wat ne considered Il proper concession III
lh. desire to save the treaty III the behalf OF
the financial and commercial interests of the
United States, and to maintain peace between
the two countries. There was 4 point be-
yond which further concession would be
sacrifice of national honor. and us he had
reached that stage it remained for England
10 decide whether or not the treaty should
l,~ abandoned. Last Friday there was u
hope OF British acquicsccncc.
Il such had been the case, treaty would
nave been immediately negotiated between
Secretary Fish and Mr.. Thornton, ratified
IL the Senate the same dag, forwarded to

Governments should there be prospect OF

the two nations by instructions to Their re
