vigation 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.

[SEAL.]

Done at the city of Washington, this 18th day of August, A.D. 1892, and
of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and
seventeenth.

BENJ. HARRISON.

JOHN W. FOSTER,

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
is the northwest corner of section No. 36, township No. 2 north of
range 27 east of the principal meridian of Montana; thence running in
a southwesterly direction, following the top of the natural divide
between the waters flowing into the Yellowstone and Clarks Fork rivers
upon the west and those flowing into Pryor Creek and West Pryor Creek
on the east, to the base of West Pryor Mountain; thence due south and
up the north slope of said Pryor Mountain on a true meridian line to a
point 15 miles due north from the established line between Montana and
Wyoming; thence in a due east
