further consideration of and to lay on the
table the memorial of the 10th legislative
assembly Of Arizona, praying the president
and congressman to enter into negotla-
tions with Mexico for concession OF suiii-
cient territory joining Arizona on the
southern boundary to secure deep water
post on the gulf of California, which would
afford an outlet for the products OF the
territory, laid before the senate interest
ing documents. Senator Sherman, as

memorial to Secretary Blaine and the sec
retary in reply said in part: 81 beg leave
to say that can discern no hopeful pros
poets OF any negotiations being success
fully conducted with Mexico at the present
time, even toward the limited object IN
view. The temper of the statesmen and
people of Mexico had been only recently
manifested with regard to the alienation
of anv part OF the national territory b!
the prominence given in certain circles
on the Pacific coast to the movement 10
the acquisition Of all or part OF Lowe
