Whereas it is provided by section 13 of the act of Congress of March 3,
1891, entitled "An act to amend Title LX, chapter 3, of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, relating to copyrights," that said act
"shall only apply to a citizen or subject of a foreign state or nation
when such foreign state or nation permits to citizens of the United
States of America the benefit of copyright on substantially the same
basis as its own citizens, or when such foreign state or nation is a
party to an international agreement which provides for reciprocity in
the granting of copyright, by the terms of which agreement the United
States of America may at its pleasure become a party to such agreement;"
and
Whereas it is also provided by said section that "the existence of
either of the conditions aforesaid shall be determined by the President
of the United States by proclamation made from time to time as the
purposes of this act may require;" and
Whereas satisfactory official assurances have been given that in Italy
the law permits to citizens of the United States the benefit of
copyright on substantially the same basis as to the subjects of Italy:
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States
of America, do declare and proclaim that the first of the conditions
specified in section 13 of the act of March 3, 1891, now exists and
is fulfilled in respect to the subjects of Italy.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of

A PROCLAMATION.
The gifts of God to our people during the past year have been so
abundant and so special that the spirit of devout thanksgiving awaits
not a call, but only the appointment of a day when it may have a common
expression. He has stayed the pestilence at our door; He has given us
more love for the free civil institutions in the creation of which
His directing providence was so conspicuous; He has awakened a deeper
reverence for law; He has widened our philanthropy by a call to succor
the distress in other lands; He has blessed our schools and is bringing
forward a patriotic and God-fearing generation to execute His great and
benevolent designs for our country; He has given us great increase in
material wealth and a wide diffusion of contentment and comfort in the
homes of our people; He has given His grace to the sorrowing.
Wherefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, do call
upon all our people to observe, as we have been wont, Thursday, the 24th
day of this month of November, as a day of thanksgiving to God for His
mercies and of supplication for His continued care and grace.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
AMENDMENT OF CIVIL-SERVICE RULES.
JANUARY 20, 1892.
Special Departmental Rule No. 1 is hereby amended by adding at the end
of paragraph 10 the following: "and elevator conductors;" so that as
amended the paragraph will read:
In all the Departments: Bookbinders and elevator conductors.
BENJ. HARRISON.
AMENDMENT OF CIVIL-SERVICE RULES.
UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION,
_Washington, D.C., January 12, 1892_.
The PRESIDENT.
SIR: We have the honor to recommend that Executive orders heretofore
issued designating the places to be filled by noncompetitive examination
under clause (_d_) of section 2 of General Rule III be amended so as
to include among those places, in all the Departments where authorized
by law and employed, "captains of the watch" and "lieutenants of the
watch." The captains and lieutenants of the watch in the Treasury
Department and the captain of the watch in the Post-Office Department
are now included in this category, and the object of this recommendation
is to place all the Departments on the same footing with respect to
these places.
The occasion for the recommendation at this time is the receipt by
this Commission of a request from the Secretary of the Interior for a
noncompetitive examination of a person named by him for appointment as
captain of the watch in the Interior Department.
The place is now subject to competitive examination, but the Commission
sees no good reason why one rule should not apply to all the
Departments; hence this recommendation.
If you approve the recommendation, your indorsement of approval on this
letter and its return to the Commission is requested. As it is not a
change of rule, it does not require to go to the Department of State for
record. We have the honor to be, your obedient servants,
CHAS. LYMAN,
HUGH S. THOMPSON,
_Commissioners_.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _January 25, 1892_.
The within recommendation is approved.
BENJ. HARRISON.
AMENDMENTS OF CIVIL-SERVICE RULES.
FEBRUARY 23, 1892.
Indian Rule VI is hereby amended by inserting after the word
"appointment" the following: "from one agency to another;" so that as
amended the rule will read:
Subject to the conditions stated in Rule IV, transfers may be made
after absolute appointment from one agency to another, from one school
to another, and from one district to another, under such regulations as
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, with the approval of the Secretary
of the Interior, may prescribe.
Indian Rule IV, section 1, clause (_b_), is hereby amended by inserting
after the word "averages" the following: "who have not been three
times certified;" so that as amended the clause will read:
If fitness for the vacant place is tested by competitive examination,
the Commission shall certify from the proper register of the district
in which the vacancy exists the names of the three eligibles thereon,
of the sex called for, having the highest averages, who have not been
three times certified: _Provided_, That the eligibles upon any register
who have been allowed preference under section 1754 of the Revised
Statutes shall be certified, according to their grade, before all other
eligibles thereon: _And provided further_, That if the vacancy is in
the grade of matron or teacher, and the wife of the superintendent of
the school in which the vacancy exists is an eligible, she may be given
preference in certification if the appointing officer so requests.
