 ing the notice which I have given to Her Majesty's Government, 

 under the instructions of the Department of State, that the pro- 

 visions of Articles XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, 

 XXV, and XXX of the treaty of May 8, 1871, between the United 

 States and Great Britain, will terminate and be of no force on the 

 expiration of two years next after the date of said notice. Her 

 Majesty's Government correctly understands the intention of the

 operation at the same time as the articles recited in the notice which 

 relate to the Dominion of Canada.
