A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents - Volume 9, part 1: Benjamin Harrison

	



EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, April 21, 1890_.

_To the Senate of the United States_:

In answer to the resolution of the Senate dated March 25 last, in
relation to La Abra Silver Mining Company and the distribution or
payment of moneys to that corporation on account of the award in its
favor by the Mexican Government, I transmit herewith a report from the
Secretary of State upon the subject, together with the accompanying
papers.

BENJ. HARRISON.



EXECUTIVE MANSION, _April 30, 1890_.

_To the Senate of the United States_:

In compliance with a resolution of the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurring, I return herewith Senate bill 895, entitled
"An act to organize the Territory of Oklahoma, to establish courts in
the Indian Territory, and for other purposes."

BENJ. HARRISON.



EXECUTIVE MANSION, _May 8, 1890_.

_To the House of Representatives_:

In answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives of March 31,
1890, respecting the importation into foreign countries of breadstuffs
and provisions from the United States and the rates of duty imposed upon
such articles, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State
on the subject, together with the accompanying papers.

BENJ. HARRISON.



EXECUTIVE MANSION, _May 13, 1890_.

_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:

I transmit herewith a communication of the 10th instant from the
Secretary of the Interior, and the accompanying copies of
correspondence, relative to the condition of the Northern Cheyenne
Indians at the Pine Ridge Agency, S. Dak.

The desire of these Indians to be united upon some common reservation
with their brethren now occupying the Tongue River Reserve, in Montana,
is quite natural, and such an arrangement would, I think, promote the
best interests of both of these bands.

BENJ. HARRISON.



EXECUTIVE MANSION, _May 17, 1890_.

_To the Senate of the United States_:

In compliance with a resolution of the Senate of this date, I return
herewith the bill (S. 903) entitled "An act for the erection of a public
building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa."
