Letter

Julius White to By the President: Wm. M. Evarts, November 4, 1880

No. 276. Mr. White to Mr. Evarts.

No. 169.]

Sir: I have the honor to state that I have this day forwarded a note to Count Limburg-Stirum, acting minister of foreign affairs, in reference to the case of Jacques Loeb, of which I inclose a copy.

Although there is little doubt that the German Government will bring Loeb’s case under its recent decision in regard to the non-applicability of the treaties of 1868 to Alsace-Lorraine, I have not felt warranted in so far acquiescing in their interpretation as to desist from sending in applications of this kind.

It seems to me that in view of any future negotiations, it would be a mistake to be silent, and so to appear to consent to their doctrine on this subject.

I have, &c.,

AND. D. WHITE.
