Therefore. I suppose they declined to ratify the treaty. The only thing I have to inquire about is this: I suppose as a matter of course the House of Representatives have information which we have not. that the Chinese Government has refused to ratify the treaty. because I take it that the House of Representatives would never pass a bill of this kind unless they had information of that character. that they never would by unanimous consent pass a bill which practically abrogates all treaties upon the subject of Chinese immigration unless they had been advised that the Chinese Government had declined to accept the amendments of the Senate and to accept the new treaty as it now stands. But for that supposition I would object to this bill or to any further action upon the matter until we should know the fact. but I assume that. as a matter of course. If it turns out that there is a mistake made.
