Sir: I have the honor to confirm my telegram of this date, which should read as follows:

“July 2, 9 a.m. Confidential. Have received information, privately, that the President had a meeting of senators at the palace yesterday, urging the necessity of the ratification of the treaty. Heated discussion ensued, the majority declaring in opposition to the treaty. At present the majority in the senate seem against ratification.”

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

A. M. Beaupré.
