Special Message

To the Senate:

In response to the resolution adopted by your honorable body on the 16th instant, as follows--

Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested, if in his judgment not incompatible with the public interest, to transmit to the Senate copies of the minutes and daily protocols of the meetings of the commissioners who negotiated the treaty with Great Britain submitted by the President to the Senate on the 20th of February, 1888--

I submit herewith a report of the Secretary of State, which I hope will satisfactorily meet the request for information embraced in said resolution.
