Mr. Blaine to Sir Julian Pauncefote.

Department of State,
Washington, April 20, 1892.

Sir: I have the honor to state that the Senate has given its advice and consent to the ratification of the convention signed on the 18th instant between the United States and Great Britain for the renewal of the existing modus vivendi in the Behring Sea.

I shall, at an early date, be glad to effect with you the exchange of ratifications of this convention, should that course be found agreeable to Her Majesty’s Government.

I have, etc.,
