Mr.. Rich suggested that every valuable OBJ
Ject to he obtained by this resolution would
be attained by asking FOR abstracts instead or
copies OF the contracts referred Ia, and would
save trouble aud expense in the details in the
preparing and printing the papers called for,
and he submitted an amendment TO that effect
MIR. Cooke was opposed TO this amendment
He should like TO see the whole contracts he
said-to see it in all its bearings. There could
not be great many contracts for cannon aud
cannon SHIT, mnshsts and small arms, SINCE
the year 1890. II we get extracts, they may
be extracts os such parts as we do not want
to see, aud care nothing nj all about. He hop
ed gentlemen would indulge him Sd far as 10
let MN look at the contracts as they really
stand.
MIR. Rich explained that he had thought an
abstract sufficient; he would withdraw his IL
mradment.
The resolution was then adopted, and reads
as follows:
Resolved, That the President of the United
States he requested to communicate to this
Ii ouse copies OF all contracts for cannon can
non shot, muskets, and other small arms, for
the use of the u. States, which have been en-
tered into since the first of January, 1870, aud
that he state whether notice for proposals was
gwen for each contract in any newspaper, if
so, in what paper, and how long befurc the
contract was concluded; who are the persons
with whom such contracts were made, and
whether tlere are any other persons beneii-
cIaily Interested therein if 81, who they are,
and IN what cases, as far as he may be in
formed.
THE GREEKS.
Mr. Williams of n. e.. submitted the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the President of the United
States be requested TO lay before this House
any information he may have received, and
which he may not deem il improper to com
municate, relating TO the present condition,
and future prospects of the Greeks.
This lies over for one day of course.

In addition to the above, we have quoted
