difficulties which, had it not been for his wavering
timIdity, would have had no existence.
THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY.
Aside from the mistake that was made OF not
attaching q map to the treaty and making it a
part Of It, with the boundary line distinctly traced
the great mistake was made OF allowing an I'M.
mense foreign corporation, claiming not only
rights OF trade, but OF government to remain
within our territory. BY articles 3 and the Hud-
son Bay Company and its branch organization the
Puget Sound Agricultural Company, retained their
trading posts and the farms, lands and other prop
erty OF every description belonging to them. IL
is true that there was also clause that when the
United States government should deem it OF public
and political Importance and should signify
desire to obtain possession OF the lands
thus occupied the property required should
be transferred to the United states at
valuation to be agreed upon between the
parties. But as this required commission
TO be appointed by the two governments, IL
virtually necessitated, whenever it was TO
occur another tedious diplomatic negotiation
and resulted, as was to be seen, in over twenty
years. occupation OF our soil by foreign corpora
tion who had not only no interests in common with
our citizens and the developments OF the resources
OF the country but were absolutely inimica to
them.
The Hudson Bay Company, which, next to the
East Indian Company, was the most extensive
monopoly in the British Empire, was furtrading

aforesaid were unable to agree upon the same and
whereas the government OF Her Britannia Majesty
claims that such boundary line should under the
terms OF the treaty above recited be run through
the Rosario Straits, and the government OF the
United States claims that 1t should be run through
the Canal de Haro, 1t is agreed that the respective
claims OF the government OF Her Britannia Majesty
and OF the government OF the United States shall
be submitted to the arbitration and award Of His
Majesty the Emperor of Germany, VINO, having re-
gard to the aforementioned article of the said
treaty, shall decide thereupon, finally and without
appeal, which of those claims is most in accordance

ENGLAND's ALTERNATIVE OF LAST RESORT.
Should the Queens Minister in Ber-
lin, Mr. RUSSELL fail in his effort to
obtain an imperial German declaration
favoring the line of an intermediate
channel he is then to labor for the attainment
of a negative judgment, to the effect that
neither De Haro nor the Rosario Channel is
the channel which is described in the treaty
between England and the United States.
CONSEQUENCES OF BRITISH SUCCESS.
Thus, should Mr.. Odo RUSSELL ministerial
strategy prevail in Berlin, the German arbi-
tration by Emperor William in the San Juan
boundary case will fail, like as did that which
was submitted some years since on the same
subject to His Majesty the King of the Neither
lands, who, instead of delivering definite
decision, recommended compromise of the
whole matter.

The terms Of the Treaty Of washington involved,
among other things the settlement of the question
OF the Northwest boundary, better known as the
San Juan Island difrculty, that being the most i'm

Canal de Haro and Rosario Straits, the channels In
dispute between the United States and Great
Britain. The Joint High Commission, by agree
ment, which was aflrmed by treaty stipulation be-
tween the two countries constituted the Emperor
Of Germany the arbitrator In the case The British
and American Ministers ut Berlin. about the
1st Of last December, presented to Emperor
william their respective statements as to the
question in dispute. A copy Of the case thus
presented WAS interchapged between the

parties, and six months afterwards which was the
limit of the time allowed for that purpose-the re-
joinders and final papers in the matter were sub.
mitted. The whole question in dispute had, there.
fore, been before the arbitrator for many months
before the delivery OF the award The dispute con-
cerning the Northwest boundary years ago brought
the two countries to the verge OF war. The we'll
remembered democratic slogan in the Polk and
Dallas campaign,
'54 40 OR FIGHT
was evidence OF the feeling existing throughout the
country with regard to our claim to the whole OF
Oregon, which embraced the Northwest territory
as far north as the Russian Possessions. The ad
ministration came into power on the tidal wave OF
that enthusiasm and 1t is a wel-known fact that a
declaration OF war was actually drafted against
Great Britain should she not coDcede to US what
we deemed our just territorial boundaries. This
very draft was shortly afterwards-with the slight
variations necessary-made use OF as the declara-
tion Of war against Mexico.
BRITISH DIPLOMACY.
The American claim was from the Mexican line
to 81 40. The English claimed all the territory
north and west OF the Columbia River, and at the
outstart even as far south as the California boun-
dary which would have deprived us at that time
OF foothold on the Pacific coast-Cafornia being
then q part Of Mexico The claim south OF the
Columbia was absurd, and was evidently for the
purpose OF enabling them the better to secure the
line OF that river as the boundary.
RUCHANAN's TInIDITY.
In the Polk administration James Buchanan was
Secretary OF State. On him devolved the conduct
ing OF the negotiations with the British Minister
Mr.. Pakenham. 1t was soon apparent that the
British would not give up the whole OF Oregon =
that 64 40 was line to which they would not
agree. It was equally plain that we could not
concede that OF the Columbia River The question
was settled that longer delay would not
be brooked-s0me solution had to be
arrived at. Mr.. Buchanan, with the
timIditJ natural to his disposition, shrunk back
at the idea Of bringing on war and so agreed, in
the Ashburton Treaty OF 1886, as a compromise, to
the line OF forty nine. II was found that this line
II carried out to the Pacific Ocean. would divide the
jurisdiction OF vancouver's Island and this would
have included within our limits the principal
settlement, the important town OF Victoria, which
is on Its extreme southern portion. As three
fourths OF the island are above forty-nine degrees
the boundary line, on striking the Gulf OF Georgia,
which separates the mainland from the island,
was so detected az to include all OF vancouver's
Island within the British jurisdiction. BY this
compromise Mr.. Buchanan avoided what ne
deemed, at the time, great danger; but left as
ne always did, TO those who came after him in the
administration Of pubAc Affairs the settlement Of

Theodore Thomas Concert,

The Mobile Tribune of yesterday says of
Mr.. Theodore Thomas and his concert or
ganization.
That Mr.. Thomas is an uhequaled organ
izer and leader was most clearly shown By
the complete command of his orchestra,
evinced in every part; the most minute
shades of tone and adaptation of harmony
receiving the same care from the wave Of
his baton as the more prominent and lead
Place ar Danes. We scarcely need say
that Mile. Marie Krebs, from the very first
bar OF. her first piece on her magnificent
Steinway piano, carried her audience by
storm, and at the end Of her splendid rem
dition of Weber's celebrated Polonaise, was
greeted with such applause as must have
been very gratifying to an artist even ac-
customed as she is to such tlattering notices.
Her .'Tarantelle de Bravura,' from Masa-
niello, with Instrumentation by the great
List. was equally brilliant, and gave re-
pewed evidence of her wonderful command
of these most difficult productions.

Tho Nnw York Herald SAYS:

Commander William B. Cushing, Of the
United States navy, is at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The name of this officer will readily
bring to mind his great achievement in de-
stroying the rebel ram Albemarle in the
Roanoke river in October, 1864. He, with
thirteen other daring men, passed the rebel
picket boats in a small steam launch, and
were not noticed by the rebels until they
were within short distance OF the ram.
Through the terrible shower of musketry
that was directed on them they went on,
and adjusted a torpedo to the bottom OF
thu. dreaded vessel. By the explosion OF
th9torpedo their boat was destroyed and
some of their number killed. Of the sur
viving heroes only two-Lieutenant Cush-
ing and seaman named William Hoft-
man-escaped capture, and, after great
suffering, reached their friends,
