I object for the purpose of saying that I have had some consultation with Senjtors who desire the House bill perfected. amended. and changed in some respects. I said myself in the opening of my remarks that it was not material to me whether his bill went to conference upon the Senate amendment or the text of the House bill. I also said that what I was especially desirous of accomplishing was such an amendment of the present law or such an addition to the present law as will keep out this immigration by land from Mexico and from British Columbia. There are certain clauses in the Senate bill which make the proposed new law more severe than the existing law now is. and it is possible that the precise object which I desire to accomplish may be accomplished by an additional clause to the Senate substitute. I will do what is thought advisable by the Senator from Oregon.
