I rise to a parliamentary inquiry. The joint resolution just read at the Clerks desk. with reference to the occupancy of Ellis Island as a site for an immigrant bureau. involves two distinct propositions: one the removal of the explosives from the island and the other an amendment of the Senate carrying an appropriation of $75.000 for fitting up the island as the site for an immigrant bureau. I wish to know whether that resolution can be divided so that the proposition to remove the explosives can be passed upon at this time. I have no objection to that branch of the resolution.
