Thornton to Earl Granville.\u2014(Received'December 1.)\nMy Lord, Washington, November 18, 1872.\nWHEN I was at the State Department on the 14th instant, Mr. Fish asked\nwhether I was acquainted with the views of Her Majesty's Government with regard\nto the withdrawal of the British force now in the Island of San Juan, so as to leave\nthe United States in full possession of that island. He said that he made this\ninquiry because, in consequence of the Award of the Emperor of Germany, it would\nbe necessary to enter upon arrangements for the collection of the revenue, for\nestablishing Courts of Justice, and for other matters * indeed, a telegram had already\nbeen received by the Treasury Department from the Governor of Washington\nTerritory, inquiring whether duties were to be at once levied upon goods arriving\nin the Island of San Juan, and the Secretary of the Treasury had been urging the\nPresident to issue directions upon this subject.\nI replied that I had no doubt that Her Majesty's Government had already\ntaken measures with a view to leaving* the island at the entire disposal of the\nGovernment of the United States, but that it was not likely that I should be\ninformed by telegraph of the orders which had been given. Mr. Fish, however,\nexpressed a wish to learn as soon as possible what had been done, and asked me to\ntelegraph to your Lordship. It was in compliance with his request that I addressed\nto your Lordship my telegram of the 14th instant. On receipt of your Lordship's telegram of the 16th instant', I communicated to\nMr. Fish its substance, and he requested me to convey to your Lordship his\nacknowledgments for the letters which had been addressed by the Foreign Office to\nthe Admiralty and the Colonial Department.\nWith reference to the proposal that the work of the Boundary Commission,\nwhich was interrupted in 1859, should at once be resumed, and should be completed\nby a map or chart showing the position of the boundary line through the Haro\nChannel under the Treaty of 1846 and the Emperor of Germany's Award, Mr. Fish\nsaid that he would, without loss of time, consult with the President, who, he had no\ndoubt, would be disposed to recommend Congress, in his next Message to that Body,\nto authorize the appointment of a Commission for that purpose. .\nhave &lc\n(Signed) ? EDWD. THORNTON.\nNo. 19.\nSir E. Thornton to Earl Granville.\u2014(Received December 8.)\nMy Lord, Washington, November 23, 1872.\nON the receipt of your Lordship's despatch of the 8th instant I addressed a\nnote to Mr. Fish, copy of which I have the honour to inclose, conveying to him the\nsubstance of that despatch and of its inclosures.\nOn the same day, the 21st instant, I called upon Mr. Fish at the State Department^ and he alluded to my note which he had just read. With reference to that\npart of it in which I informed him that Her Majesty's Government presumed that\nthe surveys of the water boundary from the Gulf of Georgia to the ocean through\nthe Haro Channel, which had already been made, would render it unnecessary for\nanother Commission to meet on the spot, Mr. Fish said that he was much gratified to\nreceive this suggestion from Her Majesty's Government which had not struck him\nbefore, but which, if carried out, would, he thought, save a great deal of trouble and\nexpense, and would be completely satisfactory ; indeed, without having consulted\nthe President or having thought over the matter, his first idea was that a chart\nmight be made here or in London, the boundary line laid down upon it, and the chart\nsigned on behalf of each Government in duplicate.\nYesterday, I had the honour to receive your Lordship's telegram informing me\nof the orders given by the Admiralty for the withdrawal of the Royal Marines from\nthe island of San Juan and of the reply which had been received from the Senior\nNaval Officer at Esquimalt. I called upon Mr. Fish to acquaint him with the\ncontents of the telegram, and he begged me to convey to your Lordship his acknowledgments for the promptnesss with which these measures had been taken.\nHe again alluded to the Water Boundary, and said that, upon reflection, he\nbelieved that it was in accordance with rule and precedence that Congress should be\nasked to authorize the President to appoint a Commission for the purpose of settling\nthis boundary, and a recommendation to that effect would be inserted in the\nPresident's Message.\nStill the matter would be a very simple one; a chart could be prepared here in\nduplicate and the line laid down, and the charts could then be signed on behalf of\neach Government.\nDuring the conversation, Mr. Fish produced a chart upon a pretty large scale\nabout a quarter inch to the mile, made by the United States' Coast Survey, and on\nit he roughly drew with a pencil what he conceived to be the boundary line, and\nwhich coincided with my opinion upon the subject. I may describe it to your\nLordship by referring to the map of the Haro and Rosario Straits, which formed\nAnnex No. 3 of the case submitted by Her Majesty's Government to the Emperor of\nGermany.\nThe line thus roughly put down by Mr. Fish would begin at the point on the\n49th parallel in the middle of the Gulf of Georgia; thence in a direction about east-\nsouth-east by south to a point opposite the entrance of Haro Channel \\ thence in a-\nsouth-south-westerly direction between Tumbo and Saturna Islands on the right,\nand Patos Island on the left, to a point midway between Moresby and Stuart\nIslands ; then' in a direction about south-south-east by east, leaving Gooch, Sidney,\nand Darcy on the right, and Henry and San Juan Islands on the left, to a point in\nthe middle of Juan de Fuca Strait; and thence along the middle of that strait to the\nocean.\nC 2 10\nMr. Fish added that he would give directions that a larger chart should be made,\n.and that the line in.accordance with the opinion of the United States' Government\nshould be marked upon it; and that he would then hand it to me for transmission to\nyour Lordship.\nI have this evening received your Lordship's telegram of to-day informing me\nthat the Admiralty had received a telegram repeating that the detachment of Royal\nMarines had evacuated San Juan, and I have communicated the information to\nMr. Fish in a private note. The word \"repeating\" in your Lordship's telegram\nshould probably be \" reporting.\" Mr. Fish in reply, states that the United States'\nGovernment highly appreciates the spontaneous action of Her Majesty's Government\nin accepting the award.\nI have, &c.\n(.Signed) EDWD. THORNTON.\nPS\u2014November 26. Since writing the aboye, 1 have received from Mr. Fish\nthe note of which I have the honour to inclose a copy, in reply to mine of the 21st\ninstant.\nE. T.\nInclosure 1 in No. 19.\nSir E. Thornton to Mr. Fish.\nSir, Washington, November 21, 1872.\nIN compliance with an instruction which I have received from Earl Granville,\nI have the honour to inform you that on the 7th and 8th instant his Lordship\ncaused letters to be addressed to the Colonial Office and to the Admiralty, inclosing\ncopies of the Award of the Emperor of Germany on the San Juan Water Boundary,\nand requesting that effect may be given to it with as little delav as possible by the\nwithdrawal of the detachment of Royal Marines from the Island of San Juan, and\nthe due notification of the award to the proper Colonial Authorities.\nIn accordance with the tenor of these letters, a copy of the Award will be\nforwarded to the Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada, and to the Lieutenant-\nGovernor of British Columbia, with a request that proper notification of it may be\nmade, and effect given to it.\nThe Admiralty will also communicate a copy of the Award with as little delay\nas possible to the Admiral in command of the Pacific Station, or to the Chief Naval\nOfficer at Vancouver's Island, with instructions that, in accordance therewith, the\ndetachment of Royal Marines now stationed at the Island of San Juan should be at\nonce withdrawn. The Admiral or Chief Naval Officer will also be requested to\nconvey to the officer in command of the detachment, and to the men under his orders,\nthe appreciation of Her Majesty's Government of the harmonious manner in which\nthe joint occupation has been conducted, which reflects the greatest credit on the\nofficers and men of the occupying force of both countries.\nEarl Granville has further instructed me to propose to the Government of the\nLTnited States that the work of the Boundary Commission, which was interrupted in\n1859, should be resumed and completed by the preparation of a map or chart\nshowing the exact portion of the boundary line from the Gulf of Georgia through\nthe Haro Channel to the ocean under the Treaty of 1846, and the Award of the\nEmperor of Germany.\nHer Majesty's Government considers that, in compliance with the XXXVth\nArticle of the Treaty of Washington, this should be done with as little delay as\npossible, in order to give effect to the Emperor's Award. It presumes that the\nsurveys which have been already made will render it unnecessary for another\nCommission to meet on the spot, but it leaves the details of the arrangement to be\nmade lor the completion of the work of the Commission for further consideration.\nhave &.c.\n(Signed) ' EDWD.

Thornton.\nSir, Department of State, Washington, November 23, 1872.\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 21 st instant,\nin which you are pleased to inform me of the steps taken by Earl Granville to carry\ninto effect the award made by the Emperor of Germany on the San Juan Water\nBoundary.\nThe prompt and spontaneous measures adopted by Her Majesty's Government\nfor the final adjustment of the question are highly appreciated by this Government.\nThe proposition made by his Lordship, to the effect that the work of the\nBoundary Commission, which was interrupted in 1859, should be resumed and\ncompleted by the preparation of a map or chart showing the exact position of the\nline from the Gulf of Georgia through the Haro Channel to the ocean, under the\nTreaty of 1846, and the Award of the Emperor of Germany, meets the assent of this\nGovernment.\nThe Government of the United States entertains the same opinion as that\nexpressed by Her Majesty's Government, that as little delay as possible should be\nincurred in giving effect to the Emperor's Award \\ and that the surveys which have\nalready been made will render it unnecessary for another Commission to meet on\nthe spot.\nhave &lc.\n(Signed) HAMILTON FISH.\nNo. 20.\nSir E. Thornton to Earl Granville.\u2014(Received December 31.)\nMy Lord, Washington, December 16, 1872.\nWHEN I ventured to trouble your Lordship with my telegram of the 12th\ninstant, I had not yet received your despatch of the 29th ultimo relative to the\nwater boundary through the Haro Channel, which did not reach me till the night\nof the 13th instant. On the receipt, however, of that despatch I felt that your\nLordship would have no objection to the boundary line being laid down on a chart\nor map either in London or here without its being necessary to send a Commission\nto the spot.\nI therefore called upon Mr. Fish on the following day and communicated to him\nthe substance of the above-mentioned despatch. Mr. Fish said that, as the Session\nof Congress would be short, and there was a good deal of business before it, he\nshould, being now aware of the feeling of Her Majesty's Government upon the\nsubject, send to Congress on Tuesday (to-morrow) a Bill proposing to authorize the\nPresident to appoint as a Commissioner, either the Secretary of State, one of the\nAssistant Secretaries of State, or the United States' Minister in London, to cooperate with a Commissioner named by Her Majesty for the purpose of laying down\non a chart or map the water boundary line through the Haro Channel to the sea.\nHe should also ask for a small sum merely to cover any little expense connected\nwith making the necessary charts.\nMr. Fish said that the United States' Government would have no objection to\nthe chart in question being prepared and ultimately signed in London as well as the\naccompanying Protocol, and that the only reason for inserting in the Bill the names\nof some persons at Washington was the possibility that General Schenck might not\nbe in London at the time.\nMr. Fish informed me that, in the meantime, he had given directions that the\nboundary line, as the United States' Government believed it to be, should be laid\ndown on one of the maps annexed to the British Case submitted to the Emperor of\nGermany, and on a chart prepared by the United States' Coast Survey; and that\nwhen these two were ready, he would send them to me to be forwarded to England\nfor your Lordship's inspection, or that of any other persons to whom you might wish\nto submit them for examination.\nI beg to offer, to your Lordship my acknowledgments for your answer to my\ntelegram of the 12th instant, which reached me this afternoon.\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) EDWD. THORNTON. 12\nI No. 21.\nSir E. Thornton to Earl Granville.\u2014(Received January 5, 1873.)\nMy Lord, Washington, December 23, 1872.\nWITH reference to my despatch of the 16th instant, I have the honour to\ninform your Lordship that, during a visit which I paid to Mr. Fish on the 19th\ninstant, he told me that it had been found more convenient to lay down the water\nboundary line through the Haro Channel on two of the Admiralty Charts, than on\none of the maps annexed to the Case presented to the Emperor of Germany, or on\nthe charts of the United States' Coast Survey. He then showed me the Admiralty\ncharts in duplicate, with the boundary line marked on them, and said that he would\nput his initials upon them, and would send them to me in order that I might, after\nexamining them, forward whichever I chose for your Lordship's inspection. He\nbegged me to return the other set to him with my initials upon them.\nAs the two sets seemed precisely alike, I have done so, and have now the\nhonour to transmit herewith the set which I selected. Mr. Fish suggested that if,\nafter your Lordship had inspected these charts, and they had been examined by\nAdmiral Prevost or any other person whom Her Majesty's Government should direct\nto do so, the boundary line should be pronounced to be correctly laid down, a single\nchart should be made either in England or here, on which the whole of the boundary\nline should be laid down in accordance with the two charts transmitted herewith.\nHe further proposed that this new chart and an explanatory Protocol should be\nsigned in duplicate at Washington by him and by any one else whom your Lordship\nmight direct, and that one of the charts there signed should be transmitted to your\nLordship.\nThe Bill to which I alluded in my above-mentioned despatch, but of which I\nhave not yet been able to obtain a copy, was submitted to the House of Representatives on the 17th instant by General Banks, as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign\nRelations.\nThe first section proposes to authorize the President to appoint the Secretary\nof State, or either of the Assistant Secretaries, or the- United States' Minister at\nLondon, or, in his discretion, by and with the advice of the Senate, to appoint a\nCommission, to act-jointly with such officer or Commissioner as may be named by\nHer Majesty, for the purpose of completing the determination of so much of the\nboundary line between the territory of the United States and the possessions of\nGreat Britain as was left uncompleted by the Commissioner appointed under the\nAct of Congress of August 11, 1856, to carry into effect the 1st Article of the Treaty\nof the 15th of June, 1846, between the United States and Great Britain.\nThe 2nd section of the Bill appropriates the sum of 5,000 dollars, or so much\nthereof as may be required to carry into effect the provisions of the Act.\n\u2022 After the Bill had been read a first and second time, General Banks proposed\nthat it should be at once taken into consideration. This motion was agreed to; the\nBill was read a third time and passed.\nIt was forwarded to the Senate, where action wiU probably be taken upon it\nsoon after Congress shall reassemble on the 6th of next month.\nh pi vf* c\\ix*\n(Signed) EDWD.
