 as one of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution of the rla>s 

 other than members of Congress, in place of Theodore D. Woolly, of Con- 

 necticut, who declines to be reappointed. 



Mr. KELLOGG. I trust there will be no objection to the 

 adoption of the resolution. 



Mr. GAR FIELD. I suggest that it be referred to the Board

Mr. KELLOGG. If there be any objection, I will not press
