Mr. Gresham to Sir Julian Pauncefote.

Department of State,
Washington, May 7, 1894.

Excellency: The two Governments having provided by legislation and regulations for the enforcement of the award of the Paris Tribunal under the treaty of February 29, 1892, the time appears to have arrived for carrying out the stipulation of article 7 of the convention.

I am therefore directed by the President to invite the attention of Her Majesty’s Government to the matter, to the end that with all convenient speed the two Governments may cooperate in securing the adhesion to the award of other powers, especially Russia and Japan.

I have the honor to be, etc.,

W. Q. Gresham.
