SCLC #718 · 1867–1868 Ottawa war-loss · general $10k struck · J.T. Jones $6700 survived
Signed 1867 Art XVIII paired a general Ottawa wartime-loss payment not exceeding $10,000 (Interior proof and equitable award) with a named J. T. Jones $6,700 claim for an 1856 fire. The Senate deletion ran from the $10,000 ceiling through the following “and,” leaving Jones’s sentence intact. General wartime compensation did not survive ratification; the named fire claim did. Actual payment remains unverified.
Source: README. Craft: deletion endpoint matters; named claim ≠ general wartime fund; treaty promise ≠ disbursement proof.
