Of the district where the manis seized? Naturally so. but the statute does not say so. A Chinese person seized in Oregon can be taken to California and vice vers . or he cn be taken to the city of New Yorkwhose duty it shall be to order that he be deported from the United States as provided in this act and in the act to which this is an amendment. unless he shall establish clearlyNot the burden of proofto the satisfaction of said judge. that by reason of accident. sickness. or other unavoidable cause. he has been unable to procure his certificate. and to the satisfaction of said United States judge. and by at least one credible witness other than Chinese. that he was a resident of the United States on the 5th of May. 1892. I was very much pleased to hear the criticisms of the venerable Senator from Illinois on this subject. Section 6 of the act of 1892 provides that there should be "one credible white witness." The thing has been transformed but has not been materially changed in the eye of justice in the amendment which I hold in my hand.
