WASHINGTON, June 22.-The CORE
spondence and documents relative to the
recent negotiations between Canada and
the United States, which were sent to the
senate Monday by the president, accom-
panied by message, were In response
TO a recent request for the same by the
senate. and they cover all the particu.
lars of the affair in the clearest and most
scomplete manner. The full text OF the
message and accompanying documents
will be read with much interest, and
will serve TO show the reasons why any
agreement III regard to the proposed ar
rangernents between the two countries
ON the basis urged and desired by this
country was an impossibility
There is one sentence i'll the letter sub
mitted hy the Hon. John w. Foster
which will he read with special interes t.
IL is that in which he says that he par
ticipated in the conference by direct IN
yitation of the secretary OF state, MI.
Blaine. A few days ago report was
published to the effect that one reason,
| If not the chief reason, why Mr. Blaine's
| resignation was precipitated so suddenly
was that he had been subjected to hui
| initiating criticism by General Foster III
| the presence of the Canadian comlnls'
| sioner during the recent conferences.
| was said that while MIR. Blaine was
making a statement of the position o.
| the United States in regard to one OF
| the matters under consideration, he was
inferrupted by General Foster, who re
1 marked that Mr.. Blaine's view OF thu
case was in direct contradiction to tn
! view entertained by the president. Ac
cording to the report this so angeret
Mr. Blaine that he abruptly terminates
fine conference and went off and wrot'
his resignation. This story, which al
WAYS has seemed doubtful, becomes stll
more improbable now in connection
with the sentence in General Foster
letter lust alluded to, and additional
weight is afforded the letter by Genera
Fosters freal emily repeated affirmation
that there never has been any diihcuiG
between him and Mr.. Blaine Ill relation
to their negotiations.
