No. 313.
Mr. Blaine
to Mr. Lowell.
[Telegram.]
Washington, March 14,
1881.
Inform Lord Granville that his proposition to refer the matter to Sir Edward Thornton and myself is accepted. The subject of joint cruisers may be postponed, or, if desired, may also be referred to Sir Edward and myself to be taken up afterwards with power to agree upon a series of regulations under which treaty rights may be mutually secured.
BLAINE.
