Right Honorable James Bryce, O. M., his Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary at Washington ; Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, which were found to be in due and proper form, have agreed to and concluded the following articles : Article I. THE BOUNDARY THROUGH PASSAMAQUODDY BAY. The High Contracting Parties agree that each shall appoint, with- out delay, an expert geographer or surveyor to serve as Commissioners for the purpose of more accurately defining and marking the inter- national boundary line between the United States and the Dominion of Canada in the waters of Passamaquoddy Bay from the mouth of the St. Croix River to the Bay of Fundy, and that in defining and marking said boundary line the Commissioners shall adopt and follow, as closely as may be, the line surveyed and laid down by the Com- missioners appointed under Article II of the Treaty of July 22, 189:2, between the United States and Great Britain, so far as said Com- missioners agreed upon the location of said line, namely : (1) From a point at the mouth of the St. Croix River defined by the ranges FStiiblished by them, by a connected series of six straight lines defined by ranges and cross ranges, to a point between Treat Island and Friar Head, likewise de- fined by ranges and cross ranges established by them; and also (2) From a point in Quoddy Roads, defined by the intersection of the range passing through the position of the Beacon of 1886 and Lnbec Channel Light. with a range established by them on the west shore of Quoddy Ro;ids along the course of this latter range, which is about 80° 35' east of true south, into the Bay of Fundy. (3) In ascertaining the 1 » >< -:t t i < > m of the above described line, the Com- missioners shall be controlled by the indications of the range marks and monuments established along it- course by said former Commis- sioners and by the charts upon which the said Commissioners marked the line as tentatively agreed upon by them. The remaining portion of the line, lying between the two above- described sections, and upon the location of which said former (' - missioners did uot agree, shall pass through the center of the Lubec Narrows Channel between Campo Bello Island and the mainland, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, it shall follow on either side of the sa ii 1 Narrows such courses as will connect with the parts of the line agreed upon as aforesaid, and such boundary shall consist of a series of straight line- defined by distances and courses; Imi inasmuch as differences have arisi n in the past as to the location of the line with respecl t" Pope's Folly [sland above Lubec Narrows and with respect to certain fishing grounds east of the dredged chan nel IhIiiw Lubec Narrows, it is agreed that each of the High Contract i 1 1 lt Parties shall present to the other within six months after the ratification of this Treaty a full printed statement of the evidence, with certified copies of original documents referred to therein which are in its possession, and the arguments upon which it bases its con- tentions, with a view to arriving at an adjustment of the location of this portion of the line in accordance with the true intent and mean- ing of the provisions relating thereto of the treaties of L783 and 181 1 between the United State- and Great Britain, and the award of the Commissioners appointed in that behalf under the treaty of L814; it being understood that any action by either or both Governments or their representatives authorized in that behalf or by the local govern- ments on either side of the line, whether prior or subsequent to such treaties and award, tending to aid in the interpretation thereof, shall lie taken into consideration in determining their true intent and mean- ing. Such agreement, if reached, shall be reduced to writing in the form of a protocol and shall be communicated to the said Commis- sioners, who shall lay down and mark this portion of the boundary in accordance therewith and as herein pro\ ided. In the event of a failure to agree within six month- after the date of exchanging the printed statements aforesaid, the question of which Government is entitled to jurisdictii ver such island and Ii hing grounds under treaty provisions, and proceedings thereunder, inter- preted in accordance with their true intent ami meaning a- above provided, and \>\ • if any rights arising under the recognized principle- of international law. -hall he referred forthwith for de- cision upon the evidence ami arguments submitted a- aforesaid, with such additional statement of fact- a- may he appropriate, and an ,! iii reply >ach side, to an arbitrator to he agreed upon ii. the two Governments, or. in case id' a failure to agree, to he ap- pointed by a third Power selected by the two Governments by com- mon accord, or. if no agreement is thus arrived at. each Government shall -elect a different Power and the choice of the arbitrator be tade in concert by the Powers thus -elected.

The entire boundary shall Ik- marked by permanent range marks established on land and. if desirable in the opinion of Commission- ers, by buoys in the water, so far as practicable, and by such other boundary marks and monuments and at such points as the Commis- .sioners may determine to lie necessary; hut the said Commissioners shall proceed to define and mark and chart the portion of the line agreed upon by the former Commissioners under the Treaty of L892 aforesaid without waiting for the final determination of the location of (he remaining portion of the line. The course of the said boundary line as defined and marked as aforesaid shall be laid down by said Commissioners on quadruplicate sets of accurate modern charts prepared or adopted by them for that purpose, which charts shall lie certified and signed by the Commis- sioners, and two duplicate originals thereof shall be filed by them with each Government: and they shall also prepare in duplicate and file with each Government a joint report or reports under their hands and seals describing in detail the course and location of the boundary line ami the, range marks and monuments and buoys marking it.
