1118 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. 
Mr. Doten. Otherwise I might feel disposed to defend the joint 
resolution and its phraseology. 
Mr. Hoar. I object to its present consideration. 
Mr. H. M. Tetter. While ‘‘ the Geological Survey” is a common 
term, perhaps it is not technically correct. That designation ought 
to be stricken out and the Interior Department inserted. The Geo- 
logical Survey is but a bureau under the Secretary of the Interior. 
Mr. Dorn. I have no objection to that amendment being made. 
I will modify the joint resolution in that manner if it will be satisfac- 
tory to the Senator from Massachusetts; but if the rest of the resolu- 
tion is not satisfactory to him, of course it must go over. 
The PresipeNT pro tempore. The joint resolution having been 
read twice, is there objection to its present consideration ? 
Mr. Hoar. I object. 
The PRrEsIDENT pro tempore. The resolution will be referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Relations or placed on the Calendar, at the 
option of the Senator from Oregon. 
Mr. Dotpn. Let it go on the Calendar. 
The PrEsIDENT pro tempore. The joint resolution will be placed on 
the Calendar.

tor from Georgia yield to the Senator from Alabama?

but I shall not yield further. My remarks will not be lengthy. 
Mr. Morean. I desire to call up the joint resolution (S. 115) author- 
izing the departments of the Government to use articles in their 
possession for exhibition at the Paris Exhibition of 1889. 
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the present con- 
sideration of the joint resolution ? 
Mr. GrorcE F. Hoar. Let it be read for information. 
Mr. Morean. I offer a substitute for it. 
Mr. Hoar. Let the substitute be read. 
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The amendment will be read.
