Inner History of the Oregon
Question Will Soon Be
at Hand.
MATERIAL BEING GATHERED
HUDSON BAY COMPANY POWER
IN THE LAST CENTURY.

London, March 9.-The inner history of
what is known as the Oregon question,
which brought America and England to
the verge of war in the forties of the
last century. is about to be given to the
public. Professor Joseph Schaefer, of the
University of Oregon, who has contrib
uted several books to the history of the
northwest. is now in London gathering
the material He has already had access
10 the correspondence on the subject in
the archives OF the state department 1T
Washington and the American embassy
IN London. and is now going over the
papers in the colonial and foreign Of
fees.
Aberdeen's Correspondence.
What will however. probably furnish
the most interesting data is -he private
correspondence of Lord Aberdeen. at the
time secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs for Great Britain, and this has
been placed at the disposal of Professor
Schaefer by Baron Stanmore, fourth son
of that statesman.
The question that has always puzzled
the students of the history of the north
west IS why did Lord Aberdeen. after in.
structing the British minister at Wash
lngton that England would insist upon
the Columbia river as the boundary fl
naily draft treaty admitting the con-
tentiOn of the Americans that the forty
ninth parallel was the proper line? There
but none satisfactory to the historians
Hudson Bay Company's Scheme.
The Hudson Bay company. then po-
htlcai power. was fighting to retain its
posts on the Columbia river and Villa
niette river. and urged the British gov
eminent not TO give up a foot of land
Inc Aberdeen treaty gave up all the
country south of the forty-ninth parallel
with the exception of the southern Dor
ton of Vancouver island, where the som
pany had an important post and large
landed interests. Professor Schaefer is
inclined to believe that the letters of
Lord Aberdeen will disclose that private
advices from the country pointing out the
difficulty of governing the district and
the influx of Americans. who outnum-
Oered the English, influenced the foreign
minister in conceding the American claims
IN opposition to the company.
