Description

President Harrison authorizes fishery treaties concerning the Bering Sea

Partly-printed DS as president, signed “Benj. Harrison,” one page, 8 x 10, April 22, 1892. President Harrison authorizes and directs "the Secretary of State to cause the Seal of the United States to be affixed to my ratifications of the original and exchange copies of the treaties concluded bet. the U.S. and Great Britain on February 29, 1892 and April 18, 1892, in the matters of the Paris Arbitration and the modus vivendi." In fine condition. These conventions concerned the jurisdictional rights of the United States in the Bering Sea, which arose from a fishery dispute between the US and UK.
