848 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. 



Mr. John H. Reagan. What is the use of 5,000 for the Smith- 

 sonian Institution? 



Mr. Dunn ELL. Five thousand is enough for the use of the Smith- 

 sonian Institution. I demand the previous question on the concurrent 

 resolution and amendment. 



Adopted. 



April 22, 1880— Senate. 



Passed as amended by House. 



April 23, 1880— Senate. 



Mr. H. Hamlin moved that the House of Representatives be 

 requested to return to the Senate the resolution for printing the Smith- 

 sonian report for 1879, upon which he entered a motion to reconsider. 



Agreed to. 



April 26, 1880— Senate. 



Mr. H. Hamlin. On Friday I entered a motion to reconsider the 

 vote by which this body concurred in the House amendment to the 

 resolution ordering the printing of the Smithsonian report. I was 

 very sure there was some misapprehension about it. I have con- 

 ferred with the Senator from Maryland [Mr. W. P. Whyte], the chair- 

 man of the Committee on Printing, and he concurs with me. I hope 

 therefore that the vote will be reconsidered, and the resolution 

 referred to that committee. 1 will say action in both Houses was had 

 without a reference. 



The Vice-Pkesident (Mr. W. A. Wheeler). The Chair hears no 

 objection to the request of the Senator from Maine. The vote will 

 be regarded as reconsidered and the resolution will be referred to the 

 Committee on Printing, with the amendment of the House of 

 Represe ntati ves . 



April 27, 1880— Senate. 



House amendments nonconcurred in. 



April 28, 1880— Senate. 

 Conferees appointed. 



May 21, 1880— House.

 Smithsonian Report for 1879, submitted the following: 



} The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 

 amendments of the House of Representatives to the resolution of the Senate to print 

 extra copies of the Report of the Smithsonian Institution for the year 1879, having

 to their respective Houses as follows :

 numbered 3, and agree to the same with the following amendment: Strike out 

 "eight" and insert "six;" and the House agree to the same.
