FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, 1883-1885. 943 



Referred to Committee on Printing. 

 February 26, 1885 Senate. 



Mr. C. F. MANDERSON. I am directed by the Committee on Printing, 

 to whom was referred the joint resolution (S. 127) to authorize the 

 printing of the reports of the Bureau of Ethnology, to report it with- 

 out amendment, and I ask for its present consideration. 



The Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, considered joint resolu- 

 tion. 



Mr. F. M. COCKRELL. I wish to ask a question in regard to this mat- 

 ter. I should like to ask the Senator from Nebraska, the chairman of 

 the Committee on Printing, why it is that the previous volumes of this 

 work have not been furnished us for distribution ? They were ordered 

 to be printed, it seems to me, a year or two ago. I have constant appli- 

 cations for them and they are not in the document room. Is there any 

 reason known why they should not have been furnished long ago ? 



Mr. MANDERSON. There is none known to me. The consideration 

 of that matter did not come before the committee in connection with 

 this joint resolution. It may be that the volumes are not yet issued 

 from the Printing Office. I shall be very glad to make inquiry for the 

 Senator. 



Passed.
