EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, December 13, 1886_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I transmit herewith, with a view to their ratification, an additional
article, signed June 23, 1884, to the treaty of friendship, commerce,
and navigation of July 27, 1853, between the United States and the
Argentine Confederation; also an additional clause to the said
additional article, signed June 25, 1885.
The report of the Secretary of State of even date and the papers
inclosed therewith set forth the reasons which have, in my opinion,
rendered it advisable to again transmit for ratification the additional
article above mentioned, which was withdrawn from the Senate at my
request on April 2, 1885.
