GROVER CLEVELAND.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _February 1, 1887_.

_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:

In response to the resolution of the House of Representatives adopted on

the 22d ultimo, calling upon me for a "copy of the treaty or convention

proposed to the Senate and ratified by that body between the United

States and the Government of the Hawaiian Islands," I transmit herewith

a report of the Secretary of State, with accompanying papers.

It is proper to remark in this relation that no convention whatever has

been "agreed to and ratified" by "the President and Senate," as is

recited in the preamble to the said resolution of the House of

Representatives, but that the documents referred to, exhibiting the

action of the Executive and the Senate, respectively, are communicated

in compliance with the request of the resolution.
