Yet I do not consider them important enough. nor do I believe they wouldoperate inso materiala degree of harshness as toprevent any one who appreciates the present situation from voting for the bill as an entirety. I have been informed at the Department of Justice that there are now about one hundred of these persons in the jailof San Francisco. They can not be bailed. and they are lying there under a sentence of deportation. If the bill fails to pass we shall neglect to relieve this very oppressive and harsh situation. and immediately there will be a very large number of Chinese persons under arrest. without bail. and with no provision yet made by law to defray the expenses of carrying into effect the sentence passed by the court under the act of May 5. 1892.
