Seward when he was Secretary of State had proposed certain modification of the treaty by which the evils attending the inigratine of Chinese laborers and China en should i e aleviated. and that they were ready to treat upon that proposition. I will remark right here that Mr. Sewards prposition was this. and it seems to me that it was the only proposition which is tenable in relation to this subject of immigration: Mr. Seward proposed so to modify the treaty as that four classes of Chinese stubjects should he excluded from coming here . coolies. criminals. prostitutes. tied diseased persons. That was Mr. Sewards proposition.
