I will submit a word of explanation. There is very serious question in the minds of iany persons asto the exact date when the present restriction acts relating to Chinese immigration into this country expire. The question is whether they expire in 1892 or in 1894. The original act was passed in 1882. and provided for a restriction of ten years. Then that act was amended two years later by a supplementary act passed in 1884. and it is not by any means free from doubt whether the subsequent act extends the tenyear restriction two years in addition to the time fixed in the original act.
