New York, March L. Sir Stafford North
cote who was one of the Joint High Commission
on the Washington Treaty writes to the London
Globe excepting to the untavorable comment
of that Journal upon the promotion OF Lord
Ripon to the Mauuisate aud his services Oh
the commission, aud says that the ex commits
sioners are silent upon the charges of negll-
gence, sluveulness and other faults which have
been made against them from disposition not
to further complicate the unfortunate difficulty
which, he trusts may yet be satisfactorily sol
we'd. Minister Gladstone in his letter TO a
newspaper correspondent denies that he used
in his speeches the offensive language concern
ing the Washington Treaty attributed to him
and says:
Permit me to assure YOU it is an entire
mistake to suppose have ever SAID that every
rational mind must see but one meaning ofthe
Treaty of Washington. Nothing would have
induced me to use such au expression.
The limit Of my assertion briefly was
and is as follows: 81 believe the mean
ing of the treaty to be clear and unambls uouS
according to any legitimate test whatever which
can be applied to it, This proposition am
Of course. ready to sustain in argument, but
every other person is equally entitled to think,
if he see cause what | hold to be clear and I'M
ambiguous, is dark and doubtful, or that it Is
clear and uuambiguous in SENSE contrary to
mine. What I trust is that others upon close
examination will not see cause to think any
such thing. This point, a little tiue aud pa.
tience cannot fail thoroughly to eIucidate.
Setting aside the remark which | did not use
and which | thiuk open to severe anlmadver-
sion, | have always understood and still under
stand that any man is at liberty to hold and to
state with the utmost confidence an opinion
as to the meaning of the document, and this |
have done without being open to the charge Of
what | conceive to be a gross otfeuse,, namely
his pres,uning to restrain for Others the liberty
which he claims himself Indeed speaking ac-
cordiug to the u>ages and habits of Eugli@h
public life fell as II the utterance Of such a
proposition were not so much OF truth as a
truism If: however, this tenth or truism be
applicable to documents in general, it requires
but moderate share of modesly to adapt it IN
the case of documents such as the treaty and
its protocols
