I desire the time to be extended as provided in the pending bill for the registration of Chinese laborers. and I wish every proper safeguard to be contained in the bill. Several amendments have been offered and are now pending. I have no objection to the amendment defining the meaning of the word "merchant." and I have no obection to the amendment requiring the deportation of Chinese laborers. to be executed by the United States marshal of the district within which such order is made with all convenient dispatch. I have never believed that it was necessary to require that the certificate provided for in the bill should contain the photograph of the applicant. The seventh section of the Geary act gives to the Secretary of the Treasury authority to require the photograph if he so desires.
