resolution presented by Mr.. Livingston
several weeks ago calling on the Sec
rotary of Agriculture for information re-
garding the method of collecting cotton
statistics. The motion to lay on the Ia
bic prevailed, after Messrs. Burleson

defended the governments estimates The

speech in support of it. The omnibus
claims bill was read in part, but no effort
was made to secure action on it.
