I Whole, Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois in the

| The latter provision alone Occasioned op-
position. Mr.. Hopkins Chairman of the
Committee on Census. explained why. In
the opinion of the committee. the provision
was desirable. If not necessary. That the
results Of the enumeration might be
promptly published. Congress at the last
session required the work to be done by
June 90. 1902. The results of the Eleventh
Census were not published for nine years
after the date Of the enumeration.
Mr.. Southland Of Ohio enquired IL that
.
ton of the statistics.
Mr.. Hopkins admitted that part Of the
delay was due to that cause but asserted
that much of it was chargeable 10 the
/ Government Printing Office. The volume
of vital statistics, he said. had been HELD
one year four months, sixteen days: agri-
cultural statistics nine months; manufac-
lures, one year. one month and twenty-six
days
Now. If the work could be done at the
Government Printing Office within the time
required by law with his present force and
facilities he would be glad to have il done
there. The Public Printer was his per
sonal friend capable official and if any
body could do the work he could. But
the Office had held the volumes of the
Eleventh Census as stated.
Mr.. Livingston of Georgia called atten-
