What did the House do? They made it to repeal the act of 1884 and the act of 1882. as well as to make the repeal take effect after the ratification of the treaty. The House sent us at bill containing these very obnoxious provisions that have been referred to here. repealing the provisions which provided that no court should have power to naturalize Chinese citizens. The House sent us that bill. and I moved to concur in the Senate. not understanding what the House had done. and not observing that the act of 1882 was included as well as the act of 1884 in the repealing clause. I should have explained it to the Senate if I had observed it. There never was any sense or reason in that provision of the bill. The treaty itself provided that Chinese should not be naturalized. and the Revised Statutes exclude them from naturalization. The provision was placed in the bill of 1882 for political purposes and nothing else. As I have stated.
