I transmit two agreements concluded by the commission appointed under section 14 of the act of March 2, 1889, commonly known as the Cherokee Commission, with the Citizen band of Pottawatomie Indians and the band of Absentee Shawnees, respectively, for the cession of certain lands to the United States.

I transmit herewith the fifth special report of the Commissioner of Labor.
A serious question would be raised as to whether these officers were not at once legislated out of office and vacancies created.
An examination of the records of the Attorney-General's office as to the amount of business in the courts in these districts leads me to believe that two districts would provide amply for the disposition of all public and private cases.
The law should at least have contained a provision for the continued discharge of their duties by the incumbents until the new officers were appointed and qualified.
