Mr. SUMNER proposed TO withdraw the preamble, 80
that The senate might vote directly the resolution but
Nr Sherman objected and The Nicc-Prcsdent decided

not be Withdrawn.
Mr. HARLAN Rcp.. Iowa offered an amendment
directing the Committee to investigate the Gales OF arms
for the whole fiscal year and 0mitting tc direction 10
inquire who the real parties in the interest.
Adopted. .,
Mr. TRUMBULL G2ep. ID said that II was desirable
that the igaon should be conducted Dy IOu-
mittee the members Of which were IN favor ol IT, and as
the adoption OF Mr Conkling's amendment would make
il improper for the Oi tins investigation To SIT uOu
Committee, be thought il would be better to pass the
original resolution and assign the investigation proposed
by Mr. Conkng 10 another Committee. He, therefore,
moved reconsideration Of Tho vote by which the
| amendment had been adopted.
Pending this lI0tiOH the Senate went into IfftuNe
Session, ana soon after Adjourned until Friday.
