Some action on the part of Congress seems desirable in order to give full effect to these important concessions of the Chinese Government.
To the Senate of the United States: I herewith transmit a letter from the Secretary of State, accompanied by copies of the correspondence asked for by your resolution of the 12th instant.
I have great pleasure in submitting to the Senate, for its ratification and approval, a treaty which has been concluded between Mr. Cushing, the United States commissioner, and the Chinese Empire.
