It was not the fault of the Senate any more than it was of the I wanted the statement that I make now to go in .the REcono House that we were unable to make it prior to March 4. with the statement made by the chairman of the committee. The statement itself does not make charges against any party Not having been able to examine his figures, I felt called upon nor does it affirm for any party any approbation. It simply at this time to make this statement, and later I will submit a gives tbe figures. and I may say to my friend from North Caro­ statement in detail. lina that it gtves in detail the additions made by tbe Senate, Mr. WARREN. I think I ought to correct the Senator in one which is exactly what the Senator will want to know. It gives respect. They are not my figures at all. Tbey are tbe figures of every detail of addition and subtraction by the Senate and is the two accountants or head clerks of the two Committees on to be printed in that manner, furnishing that information.
