Then. after stating that. he goes on with great earnestness to ask the Senate whether a conference report that has got new matter. an altogether new bill in it. ought to stand like ordinary conference reports. The fact is that this conference report is the Senate bill verbatim et literatim. except that it omits the matter about anarchists. which I understand the Senator favors. which the Senate. I understand. unanimously favors and which it has just passed in the immigration bill. All the other changes from the Senate bill are changes for which the Senator himself contended on the floor. Now. it is a fact that as to the rights of conference reports. if any such report should have precedence it would be a report on a Senate bill where the House has yielded to the Senate. which is the case here. except that in certain particulars concessions have been made to the views of the minority of the Senate.
