van 1)0 furnished and will ])o furnished by this union has been put 

 into this bill, but there has been no increase of the appropriation for

 lars was asked for as being the least sum that can properly do this 

 work. When the bill passed the House and the chief of this diyi- 

 sion, Dr. Riley, discovered it, he came to see me, and not finding me, 

 wrote to me a letter, portions of which I will read, and from which 

 the Senate will see that it is necessary to increase this appropriation 

 somewhat; otherwise the work can not be done at all. 



The Presiding Officer (Mr. G. F. Edmunds). The question is on 

 agreeing to the amendment proposed by the Senator from New York. 



The amendment was agreed to.
