A historical note recounts Sir Spencer St John the British minister in Peru showing a rumored six article draft treaty to Peruvians and others.

Clayton-Bulwer Treaty Debate Covers Panama Canal Policy

Washington reports Lord Granville defends the Clayton-Bulwer treaty while opposing Blaine’s expansion of U S control.

He cites a 1850 status quo as a possible but dangerous option.

Massachusetts Railroads Urged to Report Delinquent Conductors and Engineers
