I want to ask the gentleman from Oregon another question. He is familiar with this question. having given it years of study. I should like to ask him if it is not the fact that at the time we were engaged upon the floor of this House in passing what is known as the Geary law. or the Chinese exclusion act. at the very time that the peoples repreentatives here were giving expression to their wishes by enacting upon the statute books of the country a law to further prohibit and exclude the Chinese. if the Administration was not engaged secretlythe chief Mongolian at the head of Pennsylvania avenue. the Secretary of State. and one Yang Yuin negotiating this secret treaty. and if that triumvirate. the Department of State. the President of the United States. and the Chinese embassy. were not engaged in an effort to suppress and nullify the laws placed upon the statute books by the peoples representatives?
