Mr. DOLPH. Otherwise I might feel disposed to defend the joint resolution and its phraseology. Mr. HOAR. I object to its present consideration. Mr. H. M. TELLER. While "the Geological Survey" is a common term, perhaps it is not technically correct. That designation ought to be stricken out and the Interior Department inserted. The Geological Survey is but a bureau under the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. DOLPH. I have no objection to that amendment being made. I will modify the joint resolution in that manner if it will be satisfactory to the Senator from Massachusetts; but if the rest of the resolution is not satisfactory to him, of course it must go over. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The joint resolution having been read twice, is there objection to its present consideration? Mr. HOAR. I object. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The resolution will be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations or placed on the Calendar, at the option of the Senator from Oregon. Mr. DOLPH. Let it go on the Calendar. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The joint resolution will be placed on the Calendar. October 15, 1888-Senate. Joint resolution (S. 115) relating to the Paris Exposition of 1889 being considered, Mr. JOHN T. MORGAN said: Mr. President The President pro tempore (Mr. JOHN J. INGALLS). Does the Senator from Georgia yield to the Senator from Alabama? Mr. JOSEPH E. BROWN. I will yield to the Senator from Alabama, but I shall not yield further. My remarks will not be lengthy. Mr. MORGAN. I desire to call up the joint resolution (S. 115) authorizing the departments of the Government to use articles in their possession for exhibition at the Paris Exhibition of 1889. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection to the present consideration of the joint resolution? Mr. GEORGE F. HOAR. Let it be read for information. Mr. MORGAN. I offer a substitute for it. Mr. HOAR. Let the substitute be read. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The amendment will be read. The SECRETARY. It is proposed to strike out all after the resolving clause and insert: That the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Postmaster-General, the Secretary of the Interior, the Attorney-General, the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the Director of the National Museum, the Commissioner of the Fish Commission, and the Commissioner of Labor be, and they are severally hereby, authorized, in their discretion, to use for exhibition at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889 such articles as may be available for said exposition, and that any unexpended balances of the appropriations for the Cincinnati Exhibition of 1888 may be applied for that purpose. By unanimous consent, the Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, proceeded to consider the joint resolution. The PRESIDENT pro tempore.
