Mr. MALLORY. The objection made by my col
league is to that portion Of the report Of the committee
OF conference which recommends that the Senate ecede
from the amendment providing for building brick wall
around the hospital and grounds at Pensacola know
that il is absolutely necessary that that hospital should
be improved. There is no hospital in the country in
such dlapidated condition. This is evident that
am confident the pex session OF Congress the measure
will pass and therefore would suggest my colleague
that he Withdraw bis objection.
Mr.. MORTON. Notwithstanding the appeal that has
been made by my colleague, feel il to be my duty
