If we have no such provision in this bill. if it should become a law. as the amendment I have proposed presents. then none of these Chinamen on their return home can pass through the United States. but must necessarily pass around our dominion over the Canadian lines. thereby giving to the Canadian lines all the patronage that may come out of that travel. It will not stop there. It will enhance the danger of violation of the law by the Chinese coming into this country in opposition to the exclusion act for the reason that a Chinaman going over the Canadian line may stop off at any point. It is said by the Senators from the Pacific coast especially that Chinamen come in in great numbers from the British dominions to the United States in violation of our laws and treaty regulations. So the amendment I propose will not only give the results of this business to our own transportation lines. but it will also guard against the incoming of Chinese in violation of our laws from the British Dominion.
