Mr.. Logan said that he, too, much preferred the
House Dill 10 the senate bl and had so voted, Ous
that 1t certainly act OF courtesy on the part

the Senate.
Mr.. Randall-Does the gentleman think 1t is an act
Of couI sy on our part TO give away 100000 acres
OF public land additional
| Mr.. Logan-That is not the question. The only
question Ia whether the House will accord COM
| mittee OF conference My own opinion is that that
is the only way that the bill be got through at
this session think that the Senate is perhaps as
fixed In its opinion the House is In its own and
that there should be some kind OF comfy between
| the two houses.
My notion is that it is better for those inte-
rested In the bill and who desire its passage to have
a committee OF conference than to take any other
| position at this time.
Mr.. Banks said there would be no objection to the
course proposed by Mr. Randall, II there were time
to carry it into effect, but there was not time to get
a return from the Senate on the question OF its re-
ceding from its disagreement to the House amend
ments.
The House has agreed to a conference committee

| Post ONCE Appropriation bill
