EXECUTIVE MANSION, _May 8, 1888_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
In answer to the resolution of the Senate of April 12, directing
the Secretary of State to transmit to the Senate a copy of the
correspondence in his Department in regard to the case of John Fruchier,
an American citizen who has been impressed into the military service of
France, I transmit herewith a report in relation thereto from the
Secretary of State, together with the accompanying papers, not
considering their communication to be incompatible with the public
interests.
