Mr. Charles Denby. In the first pamphlet. that which contains the correspondence during the first Administration of President Cleveland. we do not find much about the question at issue here. except an admission in August. 1886. and in 1887. that at that time the Chinese Government and the Chinese foreign office realized that by the treaty of November 17. 1880. it was within the power of the United States to regulate. limit. or suspend Chinese immigration. And we find that China announced to the British minister. and also to our State Department. that it intended of its own dccord to prohibit the coming of Chinese laborers to this country. In this pamphlet certain claims of the Chinese Government are adverted to.
