This resolution was adopted in open session; but in view of the change
of circumstances since its adoption, by the signature on the 15th ultimo
of the convention which I transmitted to the Senate with my message of
the 22d ultimo,[16] and which is now under consideration there in
executive session, I transmit the accompanying report as a confidential
document also.
GROVER CLEVELAND.

In answer to the resolution of the Senate of April 12, directing
