Mr. DOOLITTLE. I think the Senator will find that there are a great many gentlemen who are in favor of acting directly in the Senate on that question and not sending it to a committee of conference. But I was going to appeal to my honorable friend to give way for a moment to allow the Senator from Maine to call up the bill reported by him from the Committee on Indian Affairs, which I think will lead to no discussion, and which is a matter that should be acted on.
