The Chinaman. however. having his real destination in the United States. comes in at Vancouver or Victoria or wherever it is. enters the British possessions. and comes immediately into Washington Territory. or Oregon. or California. or Arizona. or Nevada. all down the coast. They distribute themselves throughout that entire country. When we take them up under this law for having violated the immigration statutes and carry them before a judge or a justice of the peace under the different system of statutes which we have regulating immigration. they are put in the penitentiary and kept there for a term of perhaps six months or a year. I forget the precise provision upon that subject. but I believe it does not exceed a year.
