objects as may tend to give elevation to the military profession."

This ample and patriotic gift is hampered by no conditions and involves
no appropriation beyond the sum so generously donated.

The executors in order to facilitate action have prepared, and the same
is herewith submitted, the outline of a bill to carry into effect the
provisions of General Cullum's will.

There can be no occasion to urge upon Congress the immediate enactment
of a suitable law to carry into effect the patriotic purpose expressed
in the will.

I suggest that in the bill itself, or by a separate joint resolution,
suitable expression be given of the public appreciation of this crowning
service to the military profession and to his country rendered by
General Cullum.

also transmit an accompanying report by the Acting Secretary of State.

_Resolved_, That the President be requested, if in his opinion not
incompatible with the public interests, to inform the Senate of the
proceedings recently had with the representatives of the Dominion of
Canada and of the British Government as to arrangements for reciprocal
trade between Canada and the United States.

In response thereto I now submit the following information:

On the 15th day of April last the Secretary of State submitted to me a
report, which is herewith transmitted. Shortly after the report came
into my possession I was advised by the Secretary that the British
minister at this capital had informed him that the Canadian government
desired a further conference on the subject of the discriminating canal
tolls of which this country had complained. This information was
accompanied by the suggestion that a response to the resolution of the
Senate might properly be delayed until this further conference was held.
