tions them to the designated depositories throughout the country, so 
that the gentleman’s district will get its share. 
Mr. BeitzHoover. I beg the gentleman’s pardon. That number— 
500—will not allow members and Senators more than 1 additional vol- 
ume, for there are 440 members and Senators in both bodies. 
Mr. RicHarpson. There are 6 copies for each member. 
Mr. BettzHoover. Well, there are 14 public libraries in my dis- 
trict, and even if I should get the odd volume which his generosity 
offers I would have only 7 copies. 
Mr. Ricwarpson. But they are not all designated depositories. 
Mr. BreuttzHoover. They are all designated depositories under the 
law, and can not get these books under this provision, and I hold that 
in printing a valuable book like this, while we do not undertake to dis- 
tribute it indiscriminately, we eupha to print enough copies to be able 
to supply all the public libraries with it. 
Mr. Ricuarpson. You can not do that without bankrupting the 
Government. ‘ 
Mr. BettzHoover. Oh, it isa mere pretense to assert that this would 
bankrupt the Government. 
The CHarrMANn. The question is on the amendment of the gentleman 
from Kansas. 
Mr. Smuupson. Before that vote is taken, Mr. Chairman, | wish to 
say that my amendment does not increase the number of these docu- 
ments to be printed. It merely takes 4,000 copies from the Bureau 
and distributes them amongst the members of the House and the Senate. 
Therefore it does not increase the expense of the publication at all. 
The Cuarrman. The question is on the amendment to the amendment 
offered by the gentleman from Kansas [Mr. Simpson], which will be 
reported by the Clerk. The amendment was read: 
Page 33, line 47, strike out ‘‘one’’ after the word ‘‘copies’’ and insert ‘‘two;”’ 
same line strike out ‘‘two”’ after the word ‘‘Senate’’ and insert ‘“‘ five;’’ line 48, 
after the word ‘‘and,’’ strike out ‘‘five’’ and insert ‘‘one,’’ so that the provision 
will read: ‘‘Of the report of the Bureau of Ethnology, 8,000 copies; 2,000 for the 
Senates5,000 for the House, and 1,000 for distribution by the Bureau of Ethnology.” 
The amendment to the amendment was agreed to. 
The CHarrMAN. The question now is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from Pennsylvania | Mr. Beltzhoover] as amended by the 
amendment of the gentleman from Kansas | Mr. Simpson]. 
The amendment as amended was adopted. 
January 8, 1894—House.

8,000 copies of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Annual Reports of the 
Bureau of Ethnology.
