to which the said lands have been here
tofore dedicated" | presume we are
not going to have a royal family OF
Hawaii continued in that possession
which now belongs to the United
States?
Mr.. Spooner-The Senator from New
hampshire would not be unwilling to
low those who are of the royal fam
lily to be buried where their kindred
are buried?
Mr.. Galiinger-Certainly not; but
they would hardly want twenty-five OF
nirty acres for that purpose.
Mr.. Clark of Wyoming-Oh, there
are probably not over five or six acres
Mr. Gallinger-I have not figured II
out.
Mr.. Teller-There are about two and
half acres.
Mr.. C0ckrell-Why make a dedica.
tlon OF 1t nows I move to strike ont
all that part of the bill which dedi-
Gates it.
Mr.. Clark of Wyoming-There is no
part at all that dedicates 1t. The land
Is simply withdrawn from the pubIic
domain, so that a constituent of the
Senator from Missouri or a constitu-
ent OF mine from Wyoming can not 90
IN and lie on 1t for homestead when
ever the public land laws are extended
over it.
Mr.. Teller-I should like to ask the
Senator from Wyoming if this land
was not dedicated by the existing Gov
eminent for that purpose?
Mr.. Clark Of Wyoming-Nothing has
ever been done by the existing Gov
eminent in regard to it. I will saw IN
the Senator, that it has been kent I'm

Mr.. Teller-There are less than svo
and half acres, as 1 understand from
the statement; somewhere in that
neighborhood.
Mr.. Clark of Wyoming-The Senator
from New Hampshire is figuring 1t ont
Mr.. Teller-It is less than three
acres, anyway.
Mr.. Clark OF Wyoming-It is very
small, but it is one of those matters of
sentiment which I think ought to pre-
vail.
Mr.. Teller-There are less than
three acres.
Mr.. Gallinger-That is right.
Mr.. Cockrell-I have no objection IN
reserviRg the land from sale, but OBJ
ject to defeating it and keeping a
guard at the tomb.
Mr.. Clark of Wyoming-The bill
does not do that
Mr.. Teller-DoeS this bill do any
more than allow the President to
withdraw the land?
Mr.. Clark of Wyoming-The bill
simply withdraws the land from public
sale under the land laws.
Mr.. Spooner-It does provide for
withdrawing the land forever.

Mr.. Foraker-Let the joint resolution
be reported.

the Senator from Ohio that this de-
scrlptlon is taken from the official rec

suggestion, l move to strike out, in
line 10, all after the words United
