I do not wish to be bound by such an indefinite statement. The Senator is very well aware. as is the Senate generally. that I have been trying for sometime to get before the Senate a matter of very great importance to my coast on which I spoke at length some days ago. I refer to the matter of Chinese immigration. At the time this effort was made on my part there was before the Senate the bill with reference to the Japanese indemnity fond. At that time the Senator from Ohio desired to bring up the silver bill and I gave way I must confess with some reluctance. but still gave way with a kin. of understanding on the part of the Senate. at any rate with notice on my part that after those bills were disposed of in their order I would ask that this momentous subject might be considered.
