“In the argument it was suggested that this court ought not to forget how much was added to the power and wealth of this Nation when Texas, with its imperial domain, came into the Union and her people became a part of the political community for whom the Constitution of the United States was ordained and established. This fact can not, of course, be forgotten by any American who takes pride in the prestige and greatness of the Republic. But the considerations which it suggests can not affect the decision of legal questions, and must be addressed to another branch of the Government. The supposition is not to be indulged that, that department of the Government will fail to recognize any duty imposed upon it by the circumstances arising out of this vexed controversy:”

En la precedente convención de Bultos Postales ha juzgado indispensable Additions to convention by Venezuela.

“Publicaciones que violen las leyes de propiedad literaria del país de destino y cualesquiera otras cuya introducción esté prohibida ó se prohibiere; venenos y materias esplosivas ó inflamables; sustancias grasosas, líquidas ó de fácil licuefacción; dulces y pastas, animales
El número 2 del articulo II se cambiara así:
“Todos los artículos admisibles de mercancías que se depositen en el correo de un país con destino al otro, ó que se reciban en un país procedentes del otro, no estarán sujetos á otra detención ó inspección sino solamente á la que fuere necesaria para cobrar los derechos aduaneros y se despacharán á su destino por la vía más rápida, quedando sujetos, en su trasmisión y entrega á los interesados, á las leyes y reglamentos de cada país respectivamente.”
El número 2 del artículo VI quedará así:
“Estos bultos quedarán sujetos en el país de su destino á todos los reglamentos y derechos aduaneros que estuvieren vigentes en el mismo país, para proteger las rentas dé sus aduanas; y los derechos aduaneros que debidamente corresponda cobrar sobre los mismos bultos serán cobrados al entregarse éstos, de acuerdo con los reglamentos aduaneros del país de destino.”
Por cuanto la precedente Convención de Bultos Postales entre los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y los Estados Unidos de América se ha hallado digna de aprobación por parte del Gobierno Venezolano, con las tres modificaciones y ampliaciones aquí insertas, y en cuya aceptación confio, vengo en ratificarla, juntamente con ellas, en mi carácter de Jefe Supremo de la República; y al efecto suscribo la presente en Caracas, sellada con el Gran Sello Nacional, á 30 de Marzo de 1900.

In the preceding Parcels-Post Convention the Government of the United States of Venezuela has deemed it indispensable to make these slight modifications and amplifications of the text, as follows:

There is likewise prohibited the admission of postal parcels which contain, in part or as a whole, articles whose introduction in the country of destination is either prohibited or may be prohibited, and articles whose introduction can not be effected without previous permission from the Government. The Central Office of each country will communicate to that of the other a list of the articles comprised in these prohibitions.”
Number 2 of Article II is changed, as follows:s
“All admissible articles of merchandise mailed in one country for the other, or received in one country from the other, shall be free from any detention or inspection whatever, except such as is required for collection of customs duties; and shall be forwarded by the most speedy means to their destination, being subject in their transmission and delivery to the addressees to the laws and regulations of each country, respectively.”
Number 2 of Article VI will read as follows:
“The parcels in question shall be subject in the country of destination to all customs duties and all customs regulations in force in that country for the protection of its customs revenues; and the customs duties properly chargeable thereon shall be collected on delivery, in accordance with the customs regulations of the country of destination.”
Inasmuch as the preceding Parcels-Post Convention between the United States of Venezuela and the United States of America has been found worthy of approval on the part of the Venezuelan Government, with the three modifications and amplifications here inserted, and to the acceptance of which I agree, I hereby ratify the same conjointly therewith, in my character as Supreme Chief of the Republic, and to that effect have signed it at Caracas, and have caused the great national seal to be affixed thereto the 30th of March, 1900.

Preamble.
Seldom has this Nation had greater cause for profound thanksgiving. No great pestilence has invaded our shores. Liberal employment waits upon labor. Abundant crops have rewarded the efforts of the husbandmen. Increased comforts have come to the home. The national finances have been strengthened, and public credit has been sustained and made firmer. In all branches of industry and trade there has been an unequaled degree of prosperity, while there has been a steady gain in the moral and educational growth of our national character. Churches and schools have flourished. American patriotism has been exalted. Those engaged in maintaining the honor of the flag with such signal success have been in a large degree spared from disaster and disease. An honorable peace has been ratified with a foreign nation with which we were at war, and we are now on friendly relations with every power of earth.
The trust which we have assumed for the benefit of the people of Cuba has been faithfully advanced. There is marked progress toward the restoration of healthy industrial conditions, and under wise sanitary regulations the island has enjoyed unusual exemption from the scourge of fever. The hurricane which swept over our new possession of Porto Rico, destroying the homes and property of the inhabitants, called forth the instant sympathy of the people of the United States, who were swift to respond with generous aid to the sufferers. While the insurrection still continues in the island of Luzon, business is resuming its activity, and confidence in the good purposes of the United States is being rapidly established throughout the archipelago.
November 30, 1899, set apart as a day of national thanksgiving.
I recommend also that on this day so far as may be found practicable labor shall cease from its accustomed toil and charity abound toward the sick, the needy and the poor.
In witness whereof I have set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

To the People of the United States:
Death of John Sherman.
Few among our citizens have risen to greater or more deserved eminence in the national councils than he. The story of his public life and services is as it were the history of the country for half a century. In the Congress of the United States he ranked among the foremost in the House, and later in the Senate. He was twice a member of the Executive Cabinet, first as Secretary of the Treasury, and afterwards as Secretary of State. Whether in debate during the dark hours of our civil war, or as the director of the country's finances during the period of rehabilitation, or as a trusted councillor in framing the nation’s laws for over forty years, or as the exponent of its foreign policy, his course was ever marked by devotion to the best interests of his beloved land, and by able and conscientious effort to uphold its dignity and honor. His countrymen will long revere his memory and see in him a type of the patriotism, the uprightness and the zeal that go to moulding and strengthening a nation.
In fitting expression of the sense of bereavement that afflicts the Republic, I direct that on the day of the funeral the Executive Offices of the United States display the national flag at half mast and that the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall pay in like manner appropriate tribute to the illustrious dead for a period of ten days.
Done at the City of Washington, this 22nd day of October, in the [
It has pleased Almighty God to bring our nation in safety and honor Preamble.
Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, do November 29, 1900, set apart as a day of national thanksgiving.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this 29th day of October in the [
Convening special session of the Semite.
Now, Therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Senate of the United States to convene at the Capitol in the city of Washington on the 4th day of March next

Death of Benjamin Harrison.
In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the Government and people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags on the Executive Mansion and the several Departmental buildings be displayed at half staff for a period of thirty days; and that suitable military and naval honors, under the orders of the Secretaries of War and of the Navy, be rendered on the day of the funeral.
