FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS, 1889-1891. 1299 
Mr. Hempuiiu. No, sir; not at all. 
Mr. JosepH D. Taytor..And the plan has been made public for 
some time? 
Mr. Hempniuyi. Oh, yes; it has been a matter of consideration for 
a long time. 
The Spraxer. The question is on the adoption of the report. 
The question was taken; and the SPEAKER announced that the report 
was adopted. 
Mr. W. S. Hotman. I demand a division. 
Mr. Hempuiiy. Let me state this, Mr. Speaker: The Senate has 
practically agreed to the House bill except that the form of the bill has 
been necessarily changed to meet the action of the House itself. Gen- 
tlemen will remember the amendment of the gentleman from Illinois 
which was inserted in the bill, and we were obliged to shape the bill so 
as to make it symmetrical in order to conform to that action. Now, 
I think the best thing to do is to adopt this provision as we have got 
it. It is about the first time that the Senate has agreed to anything 
we have done here, and we had better take advantage of it and make 
the most of it. 
The Speaker. The Chair will remind the gentleman that the House 
is dividing. 
Mr. W. McApoo. Let me ask the gentleman from South Carolina 
this question: Whether the Senate have changed the boundaries pro- 
vided in the House bill? 
Mr. Hemputiru. Practically not at all. 
The Speaker. The Chair will again remind gentlemen that the 
House is dividing, and the question is on the adoption of the report, 
on which the gentleman from Indiana demands a division. 
The question was taken; and upon a division there were—ayes 90, 
noes 41. 
Mr. Hotman. No quorum. 
Mr. J. A. ANDERSON, of Kansas, and Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, demanded 
the yeas and nays. . 
The yeas and nays were ordered. 
The question was taken; and there were—yeas 123, nays 65, not 
voting 137. 
So the report was adopted. 
September 25, 1890—Senate. 
Mr. J. J. Incatts. I rise to a privileged question. I present the 
report of the committee of conference on the bill (S. 4) authorizing 
the establishing of a public park in the District of Columbia. 
The Prestpine Orricer (Mr. Frye in the chair). The conference 
report presented by the Senator from Kansas will be read. 
Mr. Inearis. I would suggest for the convenience of Senators that 
this report is somewhat long and will take perhaps ten or fifteen min-
