This appropriation under the Chinese exclusion cet has nothing whatever to do with the confinement of Chinese prisoners. or any other prisoners. That is provided for by general provisions. and we appropriated $300.000 for that purpose. Now. the truth is that on examining this la of May 5 it will be found that there is no additional expense to be incurred. except the expense of registration. Section 0 provides that: The Secretary of the Treasury may authorize payment of such compensation. in the nature of fees. to collectors of internal revenue for services performed under the provisions of this act in addition to salaries now allowed by law as ho shall deem necessary. but not exceeding the sum of $1 for each certificate issued.
