_Provided_, That every member of said tribes shall have an allotment

within the tract of country so ceded, except land in any part of

said reservation now used or occupied for military, agency, school,

school-farm, religious, or other public uses, or in sections 16 or 36

in each Congressional township, except, in cases where any Cheyenne or

Arapahoe Indian has heretofore made improvements upon and now uses and

occupies a part of said sections 16 and 36, such Indian may make his

or her selection within the boundaries so prescribed so as to include

his or her improvements; and except in that part of the lands by said

foregoing agreements respecting lands in the Indian or Oklahoma

Territory shall by operation of law or proclamation of the President

of the United States be opened to settlement they shall be disposed

That the President of the United States may from time to time set

reservations; and the President shall by public proclamation declare

And whereas the public lands in the State of Colorado within the limits

that the public good would be promoted by setting apart and reserving

said lands as a public reservation:

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, by

virtue of the power in me vested by section 24 of the aforesaid act of

Congress, do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby

_To whom it may concern_:

Whereas the governor of the State of Idaho has represented to me that

within said State there exist an insurrection and condition of domestic

violence and resistance to the laws to meet and overcome which the

resources at his command are unequal; and

Whereas he has further represented that the legislature of said State

is not now in session and can not be promptly convened; and

Whereas by reason of said conditions the said governor, as chief

executive of the State, has called upon me, as Chief Executive of the

Government of the United States, for assistance in repressing said

violence and restoring and maintaining the peace:

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States,

by virtue of section 4, Article IV, of the Constitution of the United

States and of the laws of Congress enacted in pursuance thereof,

do hereby command all persons engaged in said insurrection and in

resistance to the laws to immediately disperse and retire peaceably

to their respective abodes.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by a joint resolution approved June 29, 1892, it was resolved by

the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America

in Congress assembled--

That the President of the United States be authorized and directed to

issue a proclamation recommending to the people the observance in all

their localities of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of

America, on the 21st of October, 1892, by public demonstrations and by

suitable exercises in their schools and other places of assembly.

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States

of America, in pursuance of the aforesaid joint resolution, do hereby

appoint Friday, October 21, 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the

discovery of America by Columbus, as a general holiday for the people of

the United States. On that day let the people, so far as possible, cease

from toil and devote themselves to such exercises as may best express

honor to the discoverer and their appreciation of the great achievements

of the four completed centuries of American life.

Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment.

The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and

salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly

appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the

day's demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse

in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth

the patriotic duties of American citizenship.

In the churches and in the other places of assembly of the people let

there be expressions of gratitude to Divine Providence for the devout

faith of the discoverer and for the divine care and guidance which has

directed our history and so abundantly blessed our people.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

the United States to be affixed.

Whereas by reason of unlawful obstructions, combinations, and

assemblages of persons it has become impracticable, in my judgment, to

enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings the laws of the

United States within the State and district of Wyoming, the United

States marshal, after repeated efforts, being unable by his ordinary

deputies or by any civil posse which he is able to obtain to execute the

process of the United States courts:

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the

United States, do hereby command all persons engaged in such resistance

to the laws and the process of the courts of the United States to cease

such opposition and resistance and to disperse and retire peaceably to

their respective abodes on or before Wednesday, the 3d day of August

next.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by an act of Congress approved July 26, 1892, entitled "An act

to enforce reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and

Canada, and for other purposes," it is provided--

That with a view of securing reciprocal advantages for the citizens,

ports, and vessels of the United States, on and after the 1st day

of August, 1892, whenever and so often as the President shall be

satisfied that the passage through any canal or lock connected with the

navigation of the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, or the waterways

connecting the same of any vessels of the United States, or of cargoes

or passengers in transit to any port of the United States, is

prohibited or is made difficult or burdensome by the imposition of

tolls or otherwise which, in view of the free passage through the St.

Marys Falls Canal now permitted to vessels of all nations, he shall

deem to be reciprocally unjust and unreasonable, he shall have the

power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by proclamation to that

effect, for such time and to such extent (including absolute

prohibition) as he shall deem just, the right of free passage through

the St. Marys Falls Canal so far as it relates to vessels owned by the

subjects of the government so discriminating against the citizens,

ports, or vessels of the United States or to any cargoes, portions of

cargoes, or passengers in transit to the ports of the government making

such discrimination, whether carried in vessels of the United States or

of other nations.

In such case and during such suspension tolls shall be levied,

collected, and paid as follows, to wit: Upon freight of whatever kind

or description not to exceed $2 per ton, upon passengers not to exceed

$5 each, as shall be from time to time determined by the President:

_Provided_, That no tolls shall be charged or collected upon freight

or passengers carried to and landed at Ogdensburg, or any port west of

Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn from the northern boundary of the

State of New York through the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and

their connecting channels to the northern boundary of the State of

Minnesota.

SEC. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected under such

regulations as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury,

who may require the master of each vessel to furnish a sworn statement

of the amount and kind of cargo and the number of passengers carried

and the destination of the same, and such proof of the actual delivery

of such cargo or passengers at some port or place within the limits

above named as he shall deem satisfactory; and until such proof is

furnished such freight and passengers may be considered to have been

landed at some port or place outside of those limits, and the amount

of tolls which would have accrued if they had been so delivered shall

constitute a lien, which may be enforced against the vessel in default

wherever and whenever found in the waters of the United States.

And whereas the government of the Dominion of Canada imposes a toll

amounting to about 20 cents per ton on all freight passing through the

Welland Canal in transit to a port of the United States, and also a

further toll on all vessels of the United States and on all passengers

in transit to a port of the United States, all of which tolls are

without rebate; and

Whereas the government of the Dominion of Canada, in accordance with

an order in council of April 4, 1892, refunds 18 cents per ton of the

20-cent toll at the Welland Canal on wheat, Indian corn, pease, barley,

rye, oats, flaxseed, and buckwheat upon condition that they are

originally shipped for and carried to Montreal or some port east of

Montreal for export, and that if transshipped at an intermediate point

such transshipment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no

such nor any other rebate on said products when shipped to a port of

the United States or when carried to Montreal for export if transshipped

within the United States; and

Whereas the government of the Dominion of Canada by said system of

rebate and otherwise discriminates against the citizens of the United

States in the use of said Welland Canal, in violation of the provisions

of Article XXVII of the treaty of Washington concluded May 8, 1871; and

Whereas said Welland Canal is connected with the navigation of the Great

Lakes, and I am satisfied that the passage through it of cargoes in

transit to ports of the United States is made difficult and burdensome

by said discriminating system of rebate and otherwise and is

reciprocally unjust and unreasonable:

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin, Harrison, President of the United States of

America, by virtue of the power to that end conferred upon me by said

act of Congress approved July 26, 1892, do hereby direct that from and

after September 1, 1892, until further notice a toll of 20 cents per

ton be levied, collected, and paid on all freight of whatever kind or

description passing through the St. Marys Falls Canal in transit to any

port of the Dominion of Canada, whether carried in vessels of the United

States or of other nations; and to that extent I do hereby suspend from

and after said date the right of free passage through said St. Marys

Falls Canal of any and all cargoes or portions of cargoes in transit

to Canadian ports.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas by a written agreement made on the 8th day of December, 1890,

the Crow tribe of Indians, in the State of Montana, agreed to dispose

of and sell to the United States, for certain considerations in said

agreement specified, all that portion of the Crow Indian Reservation

in the State of Montana lying west and south of the following lines,

to wit:

Beginning in the mid-channel of the Yellowstone River at a point which

following up the mid-channel of said river to a point where it crosses

And whereas it is stipulated in the eleventh clause or section of said

agreement that all lands upon that portion of the reservation by said

severalty to Indians of the Crow tribe shall be retained and enjoyed by

them; and

selection of his claim under the said section (or the said proviso); and

Whereas it is stipulated and agreed by the second clause or section

of said agreement of August 27, 1892, that all lands ceded by said

agreement may be opened to settlement, upon the approval of the said

agreement, by proclamation of the President:

_Provided_, That all lands within the ceded tract selected or set

apart for the use of individual Indians and described in the aforesaid

Schedules "A" and "B" shall be exempt from cession and shall remain

the Indian or Indians claiming the same: _Provided further_, That such

lands shall be described as set forth in Schedules "A" and "B," and

shall be exempted from settlement in the proclamation of the President
