A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas satisfactory proof has been given to me that no tonnage or
light-house dues or any equivalent tax or taxes whatever are imposed
upon vessels of the United States in the port of Copenhagen, in the
Kingdom of Denmark;
Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section eleven of
the act of Congress, entitled "An Act to abolish certain fees for
official services to American vessels, and to amend the laws relating
to shipping commissioners, seamen, and owners of vessels, and for other
purposes," approved June nineteenth, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-six, and in virtue of the further act amendatory thereof,
entitled "An act to amend the laws relating to navigation and for
other purposes," approved April four, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-eight, do hereby declare and proclaim that from and after the
date of this, my Proclamation, shall be suspended the collection of the
whole of the tonnage duty which is imposed by said section eleven of the
act approved June nineteenth, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-six,
upon vessels entered in the ports of the United States directly from the
port of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.
