Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress with the Annual Message of the President, December 2, 1872, Part II, Volume II

No. 80.
Mr. Fish to General Schenck.

[Telegram.]

Washington, June 1, 1872.

The fifth Article of the Treaty requires the written arguments to be presented by the 15th Jane.

The adjournment of the Tribunal without amending that Article would, as we are advised, practically amount to a discontinuance, and that Article can be amended only by a new treaty.

The opinion attributed to me regarding the Senate Article is very incorrectly represented.

FISH.
