on exccss OF caution. but the principle on
,.hich II 10 based is sound. Certainly 0nr
',oyernment cannot complain of this step.
Tor many wears Congress has been Appealed
"a for provisions TO settle the boundary by
an International commission. II is known
that some of the marks set up 20 determine

that i'm some cases this has been done Dl
neonle in the neighbOrho0d for fraudulent
nurposes i'm making sales of lands. Inc
Question has an importance also in its rela-
tion 10 the crossing of the line by troops IN
pursuit of hostile Indians. A new agree
ment on this subject has recently Deeh
made by Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Romero, de-
Gning The regions where such crossings
shall be allowed; but in many places IL IS Il
matter of dispute where the line Is. On our
Canadian frontier the boundary is made III
disputable by iron posts mile apart, stone
cairns huilt up i'm lakes, and broad pains
cui through woods. EQUAL distinctness
and accuracy should mark our southern
boundary. and Mexico cannot be blamed
for granting no more lands near II TO those
whose interests might be adverse to her
own until the line is fixed beyond dispute
