I am convinced that such ratification will be of decided benefit to the Government, and that the agreement is entirely free from any suspicion of unfairness or injustice toward the Indians.

I return herewith without my approval House bill No. 6902, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Mrs. Mary A. Viel.'
A careful examination of this bill has convinced me that for the reasons given and others not specifically stated its provisions are unnecessarily harsh and oppressive.
I do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation all those certain tracts, pieces, or parcels of land.
A radical departure from our national policy relating to immigration is here presented.
