and CLOSES the voluminous CORE
spondence as follows: II am justified in
assuming that Lord Salisbury cannot recur
TO remark Of Mr.. Phelps as one OF the
reasons for breaking of the negotiation,
because the negotiation was in actual
progress for more than four months after
the remark was made and Mr.. Phelps him
self took large part in it. Upon this re-
cital Of facts, am unable to recall or in
any way to qualify the statement which I
made in my note Of June 4th, to the effect
that Lord Salisbury abruptly closed ne
gotiations because the Canadian govern
ment conceded, and that he assigned no
other reason whatever. Lord Sails
bury expresses belief that il
even the view that have taken
Of the transactions be accurate they would
not bear out the argument which found

Salisbury refers is, presume, the remon-
STRANGE which ! made, by direction Of the
president, against changing the policy by
her majeety's government without notice
and against the wish of the United States,
the interposition of the wishes of British
province against the conclusion of con-
vention between the two nations, which,
according to Mr.. Phelps. 'had been virtu-
ally agreed upon except as to Details" was,
in the presidents belief, a grave injustice
to the government.
