JHAP. V] TREATY RELATIONS 1115 ness to accept Canadian assistance in negotiating a Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States. In 1871 Sir John Macdonald was one of the plenipoten- biaries engaged in the negotiations for the Treaty of Wash- ington, G. Brown negotiated with the States in 1874, while Sir Alexander Galt and Sir Charles Tupper, from 1877-84, on several occasions conducted negotiations for commercial treaties with Spain and France. It was at first proposed in such cases that the Colonial representative should be treated as being engaged in an informal negotiation, and that he should not actually sign the Convention when concluded, but this principle was abandoned almost imme- diately, and as early as 1884 it was contemplated that had the negotiations with Spain then on foot resulted in an agreement, Sir Charles Tupper, High Commissioner for Canada, should have signed the agreement together with His Majesty’s representative at Madrid. In 1888 Sir Charles Tupper actually signed with Mr. Cham- berlain the Treaty of Washington, which was, however, not approved by the United States Senate, and therefore was never ratified. In 1892 Canadian ministers with Sir J. Pauncefote con- ducted negotiations with the United States Secretary of State, but no settlement resulted.? In 1893 Sir Charles Tupper negotiated a treaty with France which was finally accepted by both the French and British Governments. Sir Charles signed the treaty along with His Majesty’s representative.? In 1890 and 1902 Sir Robert Bond negotiated, through the Ambassador at Washington, with the United States Secretary of State. The former negotiation resulted in a Convention which was not proceeded with, owing to the Opposition of the Canadian Government on the ground that it was hostile to the interests of Canada, but the negotiation of 1902 terminated in the signature of a Convention, which, however, never came into operation owing to the objections of the United States Government.
