Mr. J. B. Beck. 1 ask the Senate now to take up for consideration 

 House bill No. 4812. 



Mr. J. S. Morrill. I ask the Senator from Kentucky to allow me 

 to call up a bill that will receive, I have no doubt, the unanimous 

 assent of the Senate. It will not take live minutes, and as the bill the 

 Senator proposes to take up will probably occupy all the morning, I 

 ask him to allow me to get up the bill for a monument to Joseph 

 Henry, to be erected in the Smithsonian grounds. 



Mr. Beck. I hope I shall not lose my place by giving way. 



The President pro tempore (Mr. A. G. Thurman). The Senator 

 from Vermont asks that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the 

 bill (S. 1702) for the erection of a monument in the city of Washing- 

 ton to the memory of Joseph Henry, late Secretary of the Smithsonian 

 Institution. Is there objection ? 



Mr. D. W. Voorhees. Let the bill be read for information. 



The Chief Clerk read the bill. 



The President pro tempore. Is there objection to proceeding to 

 the consideration of this bill ?
