 February 10, 1886— Senate. 



Mr. J. R. Hawley. From the Committee on Printing I report the 

 joint resolution (S. 33) to provide for printing the annual reports 

 of the Smithsonian Institution and of the National Museum, with a 

 substitute in the form of a concurrent resolution, and upon that being 

 read I shall move the indefinite postponement of the original joint 

 resolution. 



The President pro tempore (Mr. John Sherman). The Committee 

 on Printing reports a concurrent resolution in the nature of a substi- 

 tute for the joint resolution. The concurrent resolution will be read. 



Resolved, etc., That there be printed of the last annual reports of the Smithsonian 

 Institution and of the National Museum, in two octavo volumes, 16,000 extra copies 

 of each, of which 3,000 copies shall be for the use of the Senate, 6,000 copies for the 

 use of the House of Representatives, and 7,000 copies for the use of the Smithsonian 

 Institution. 



The President pro tempore, The question is on agreeing to the 

 concurrent resolution. 



Mr. Ha^vley. I should like to put on record a \evy brief state- 

 ment. We changed the resolution in another respect. It was a joint 

 resolution and we made it a concurrent resolution, but the original 

 resolution provided that there shall hereafter be printed these reports 

 annually. The committee thinks it better to adhere to the old usage 

 and bring all these matters under an annual revision, and we changed 

 it so as to provide for printing only the reports now presented. 



The resolution was agreed to. 



The President pro tempore. Senate joint resolution No. 33 will be 

 indefinitely postponed, if there be no objection. 

 March 8, 1886— House.
