TEXAN BOUNDS.
A Plan of Settlement Suggested by ths Sec
retary of the Interior for the Disputed
Boundary Question.

reCary OF the Interior the Disputed
Boundary Question.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb, 25.
Ina communication to the President and
by him transmitted to Congress, the Sec
retary of the Interior submits an elaborate
history of the controversy over the bound
ary between the United States and Texas.
The Secretary, in concluding his review
of the dispute, makes the following state
ment and recommendations sThe ques-
tion of the disputed boundary has never
been determined between the United
States and the State of Texas The lat
ter State desires a speedy adjustment of
the question, and in view of the settle
ment of the territory in controversy, and
of claims made to the tracts of land lying
therein and in view of the civil iurisdic-
prevail therein, it is important
that such boundary line should be finally
fixed and determined. / am of the opin-
ion that the Tooth meridian of west longi-
tude has been correctly surveyed, mark
ed and established, and that a survey of
the meridian will be unnecessary. The
question to be determined is which fork
of said Red River was intended under
the treaties and joint resolutions before
recited to mark and designate the bound
ary line between Texas and the United
States. l submit that this does not
necessarily depend upon the relative size
or formation Of the forks. / am Of the
opinion that it is necessary that a joint
commission on the part of the United
States and Texas should be formed to
determine definitely such boundary line,
and recommend that the proper steps be
taken for that purpose. | suggest, how
ever, whether sufficient data of an au-
thentic character do not already exist to
EMAIL lie the commission to determine the
questicn without further surveys in the
fe,d,o
