Since the Senator from Oregon called my attention to the matter. I find thatof the $100.000 appropriated for 1893 the salaries of officers was $36.736.57. that the expenses -of officers and cost of deportation. there being about 152 Chinamen being deported under the provisions of the act. amounted to $27.287.30. that of the little registration we had the expense was $12.698.79. making a total of $76.722.66. this amount having been expended partially under the last and partially under the present Administration. I desire to say to the Senator from Oregon that if he imagines that by my remarks I discredited his efforts in the direction of Chinese exclusion he is mistaken. We know that during his career in the Senate he has uniformly and in the best of faith forwarded that good work. and I have not the least reason to doubt that he will continue to do so.
