There is no trouble about that matter. Let a vessel touch the Pacific coast having on board Chinese laborers whose purpose is to pass to some other country. and that vessel is at once covered by the officials of this Government. and no Chinaman is allowed to land unless he gives. as it were. bail for his return. And there has been no violation of the immigrant act on account of this privilege of transit. Now. Mr. Chairman. this is no longer a question of restricting Clinese immigration. that has already been attended to in the manner we have stated. I doubt not that vague -and fictitious statements have been made which have excited many on the Pacific coast as they have my enthusiastic friend who has addressed us just now. But they are baseless.
