We have no laws upon our statute books applying to immigrants that are domiciled in the United States such as apply to the Chinese. In our legislation we have always treated people as sid generis. and I am not troubled with the argument made here in regard to the violation oftreaties. The Government of China recognizes the fact that there is a necessity for precaution on the part of the people of the United States. I had occasion when this bill was pending in the Senate to allude to a communication in the North American Review from our late minister to China.
