Referred to Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. 
April 5, 1890—Senate.' 
The bill (S. 2740) was considered as in Committee of the Whole. 
Mr. J. S. Morrixu. I desire to say a single word. Unless this 
building shall be authorized the collections by the Museum will have 
to be arrested. There is a very large accumulation already for which 
there is no place for exhibition or even for storage. The number of 
specimens in the Museum in 1882 was only 193,000. They had 
accumulated in 1888 to 2,863,000, and there are over 3,000,000 at the 
present time. There is an absolute necessity that this building should 
be put up at once. ° 
Passed.
