672 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. 



Mr. CAMERON. I desire to have the yeas and nays taken 

 on that question. 



The yeas and nays were ordered. 



Mr. HALE. I simply want to call the attention of the 

 Senate to the fact that we have stricken out of the amend- 

 ment, on motion of the Senator from North Carolina, all the 

 expenses incurred for distribution; and now you propose to 

 give $6,000 to make bug cases alone, without any transpor- 

 tation. 



Mr. FESSENDEN. I will suggest that it is now within four 

 minutes of the time when we agreed to take a recess. 



Mr. CAMERON. Let us take a vote.

 ment of the Committee on Finance, as amended, resulted
