countries Il ID direct violation Of
the on-Bulwer treaty and . moro
distinct violation than Blaine ever con
templated. Americans will not suppose

owing 10 alarm ct the extension Of the
American dominions, or that they mis-
trust that tbs treaty will be- abused to
the injury of British trade, tut they
cannot approve the example Of one
State purchasing control of such water
ways for personal advantage and not
40 Q trustee for the world. The Sum.
mary Of the provisions Of the treaty a.
