probably remember, is on Norton Sound, and is one of the principal
seaports of Alaska.

THE CIVILIZED TRIBES OF INDIANS were next in consideration.

President McKinley recommends that the relations with the five civilized
tribes shall be readjusted, giving the Indians citizenship and
individual ownership of their lands.

The five civilized tribes are the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws,
Muscogees or Creeks, and the Seminoles.

(This latter point opens a very interesting subject for us. We have not
space to talk about it now, but hope to do so shortly. We should all of
us be familiar with the history of the Indians.)

The President recommends that to prevent the further invasion of the
United States by yellow fever it is important to discover the exact
cause of the disease. He suggests that investigations to that end shall
be made.

The quarantine laws, he thinks, should also be amended and improved.

He expresses a hope that now that the Congressional Library has been
finished, and is such a magnificent building, and so perfect in its form
and detail, Congress will appropriate sums sufficient to develop it,
until it shall be among the richest and most useful in the world.

Begging Congress to keep its expenditures within the limit of its
receipts, President McKinley brought his Message to a close.
