MR. GLADSTONESir, since the conclusion of the Treaty of Washington there has been a correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Governor General of Canada. That correspondence, however, is still going forward, 401 and we are not able to produce it at present; but I hope we shall be in a condition to lay it on the Table very shortly after Easter.
