FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS, 1889-1891. ' "7486 
Mr. Crements. I have nothing to advise about that. I have no 
objection to a resolution of instruction, but at the same time I hardly 
think it necessary. I think there ought to be such an understanding 
on the part of the House that the conferees may in some degree know 
the mind of the House on the various points of difference.

The Speaker (Mr. T. B. Reed). The question is on the motion of 
the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. McComas], which is that the House 
insist upon its disagreement and ask a further conference. 
The motion was agreed to. 
The Speaker. The Chair will appoint the same conferees (Mr. 
L. E. McComas, Mr. W. W. Morrow, and Mr. J. C. Clements). 
February 25, 1891—Senate. 
Mr. P. B. Prump. I ask leave at this time to submit a conference 
report.

Mr. Prums. Mr. President, it is proper perhaps that I should state 
the most serious points of difference which arose in the conference on 
this bill.

The next point was the transfer of funds which had been appropri- 
ated out of the revenues of the District for the maintenance of the 
Zoological Park for the last year. 
Mr. G. G. Vest. I should like to make one inquiry of the Senator 
from Kansas. I could not understand in the course of his remarks 
what was the disagreement as to the Zoological Park. ° 
Mr. Piums. The Senate, as the Senator will perhaps remember, 
adopted a provision in the appropriation bill crediting back to the Dis- 
trict of Columbia the one-half of the $90,000 in round numbers, which 
was a charge to funds of the District for expenses of the maintenance 
of the Zoological Park for last year. The House conferees did not 
feel warranted in accepting that proposition, and that is one of the 
items which may be said to be seriously in difference between the two 
Houses as the matter now stands. 
The Vick-PrestpEntT (Mr. Levi P. Morton). The question is on the 
motion of the Senator from Kansas that the Senate still further insist 
on its amendments and ask a further conference with the House of 
Representatives. 
The motion was agreed to. 
By unanimous consent, the Vice-President was authorized to appoint 
the conferees at the further conference on the part of the Senate, and 
Mr. P. B. Plumb, Mr. H. L. Dawes, and Mr. F. M. Cockrell were 
appointed.
