In response to the resolutions of the Senate dated December 20, 1892, and January 5, 1893, respectively, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State of the 10th instant.
It is hereby ordered that the following tracts of land in the State of Minnesota, viz: Fractional section 33 in township 152 north, of range 32 west, and fractional sections 4, 9, 16, 17, 19, and 20, and section 21 in township 151 north, of range 32 west, be, and the same are hereby, reserved from entry and sale as public lands and added to the Red Lake Indian Reservation, as a part of the same for the use and benefit of the Indians thereof, with like tenure as the other lands now included within the reservation, according to the terms of the agreement negotiated with said Indians by the Chippewa Commission, in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress approved January 14, 1889 (25 Stats., 642), which agreement was approved by the President March 4, 1890.
It was given in a generous spirit, and I think the result of it has been that our relations with that brave people, whose history is so full of martial achievements and prowess, as well as with the sister Republics of South America, are more friendly.
He has steadily grown in the public esteem, and the impartial historian will not fail to recognize the conscientiousness, the manliness, and the courage that so strongly characterized his whole public career.
