Mr. Cuarzes F. Manperson, from Committee on Printing, sub- 
mitted report (S. 8) on the message of the President, transmitting 
the report of the Board constituted to consider the. advisability of 
establishing uniformity in geographic nomenclature and orthography: 
The Committee on Printing, to whom was referred the above mes- 
sage and manuscript of the report, report the same back adversely, for 
the reason that the House of Representatives has ordered the same 
printed.

February 10, 1892—Senate. 
Mr. Cuartes F. Manperson, from Committee on Printing, sub- 
mitted report (S. 210) on House concurrent resolution. 
The cost of printing will be $254. The report is now in type and 
hence the cost, will be limited to presswork and paper. The chairman 
of the Board writes to the committee thus: 
The Departments are required to comply with the decisions of this Board in all 
respects, and yet it is impossible, without the printing of these extra copies, for the 
various people interested to know what these decisions are. The total number esti- 
mated for—that is to say, 7,000 in addition to those assigned to the use of the House 
and Senate—will be required for this purpose without doubt, and I trust that you 
will find yourself able and willing to recommend concurrence in the resolution of the 
House. ‘ 
Passed.
