Perhaps I had better say to the Senate justa few words at this time. The bill was intended to carry into execution the existing laws in regard to Chinese immigration. It does not in the judgment of the Committee on Foreign Relations. who are. I believe. unanimous on the subject. change in any material or essential particular the treaty or the laws which Save heretofore been enacted. but in the administration of the law several questions of difficulty. legal questions. have arisen. which have been brought before the United States courts. This bill is mainly the work. as I am advised by the Senator who introduced it . of the three United States judges on the Pacific coast whose duty it has been to administer the law.
