April 16, 1901. Preamble. Mission California. BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Whereas by Executive order dated December 27, 1875, sections 8 and 9, township 15 south, range 2 east, San Bernardino meridian, California, were with certain other tracts of land withdrawn from the public domain and reserved for the use of the Capitan Grande band or village of Mission Indians; and Whereas the Commission appointed under the provisions of the act Indians, of Congress approved January 12, 1891, entitled "An act for the relief of the Mission Indians in the State of California" (U. S. Stat. L., vol. 26, p. 712), selected for the said Capitan Grande band or village of Indians certain tracts of land and intentionally omitted and excluded from said selection the said sections 8 and 9, township 15 south, range 2 east, and reported that the tracts thus omitted included the lands upon which were found the claims of Arthur F. Head and others; and Whereas the report and recommendations of the said Commission were approved by Executive order dated December 29, 1891, which order also directed that "all of the lands mentioned in said report are hereby withdrawn from settlement and entry until patents shall have issued for said selected reservations, and until the recommendations of said Commission shall be fully executed, and, by the proclamation of the President of the United States, the lands or any part thereof shall be restored to the public domain;" and Whereas a patent was issued March 10, 1894, to the said Indians for the lands selected by the Commission as aforesaid, and which patent also excluded the said sections 8 and 9, township 15 south, range 2 east; and Whereas it appears that the said Arthur F. Head can not make the requisite filings on the land occupied by him until it shall have been formally restored to the public domain, and that no good reason appears to exist for the further reservation of the said sections for the said band of Indians: Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested, do hereby declare and make Executive orders, known that the Executive orders dated December 27, 1875, and Decemante p. 820, modified. ber 29, 1891, are so far modified as to except from their provisions sections 8 and 9 of township 15 south, range 2 east, San Bernardino meridian, and the said sections are hereby restored to the public domain. 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 16th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and one, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-fifth. By the President: JOHN HAY, Secretary of State. WILLIAM MCKINLEY. BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. June 25, 1901. Ante, p. 729. Whereas the act of Congress entitled "An act to ratify and confirm Preamble. an agreement with the Muscogee or Creek tribe of Indians and for other purposes," approved on the first day of March, nineteen hundred and one, contains a provision as follows: That the agreement negotiated between the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes and the Muscogee or Creek tribe of Indians, at the City of Washington on the eighth day of March, nineteen hundred, as herein amended, is hereby accepted, ratified, and confirmed, and the same shall be of full force and effect when ratified by the Creek national council. The principal chief, as soon as practicable after the ratification of this agreement by Congress, shall call an extra session of the Creek national council and lay before it this agreement and the Act of Congress ratifying it, and if the agreement be ratified by said council, as provided in the constitution of said nation, he shall transmit to the President of the United States the act of council ratifying the agreement, and the President of the United States shall thereupon issue his proclamation declaring the same duly ratified, and that all the provisions of this agreement have become law according to the terms thereof: Provided, That such ratification by the Creek national council shall be made within ninety days from the approval of this act by the President of the United States, And whereas the principal chief of the said tribe has transmitted to me an act of the Creek national council entitled "An act to ratify and confirm an agreement between the United States and the Muscogee Nation of Indians of the Indian Territory," approved the twenty-fifth day of May, nineteen hundred and one, which contains a provision as follows: That said Agreement, amended, ratified and confirmed by the Congress of the United States, as set forth in said Act of Congress approved March 1, 1901, is hereby accepted, ratified and confirmed on the part of the Muscogee Nation and on the part of the Muscogee or Creek tribe of Indians constituting said Nation, as provided in said Act of Congress and as provided in the Constitution of said Nation, and the Principal Chief is hereby authorized to transmit this Act of the National Council ratifying said Agreement to the President of the United States as provided in said Act of Congress. And whereas paragraph thirty-six of said agreement contains a provision as follows: This provision shall not take effect until after it shall have been separately and specifically approved by the Creek national council and by the Seminole general council; and if not approved by either, it shall fail altogether, and be eliminated from this agreement without impairing any other of its provisions. And whereas there has been presented to me an act of the Creek national council entitled "An Act to disapprove certain provisions, relating to Seminole citizens, in the agreement between the Muscogee Nation and the United States, ratified by Congress March 1, 1901," approved the twenty-fifth day of May, nineteen hundred and one, by which the provisions of said paragraph thirty-six are specifically disapproved: Creek Indians ratified. Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United Agreement with States, do hereby declare said agreement, except paragraph thirty-six thereof, duly ratified and that all the provisions thereof, except said paragraph thirty-six which failed of ratification by the Creek national council, became law according to the terms thereof upon the twentyfifth day of May, nineteen hundred and one. 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 twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and one and [SEAL.] of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-fifth.
