There are seventyfive or eighty thousand Chinese of the pure blood in the Philippine Islands. and there are in the neighborhood of 750.000 mestizosthat is. Chinese of the half blood. Unless this law is enacted. or a law which covers Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. there will be no law which will interfere with the emigration of Hawaiian Chinese and Filipino Chinese into the United States. I imagine that the doctrine of domestic territory would apply to the population of those islands as well as to the matter of tariff duties. and. until Congress shall act by affirmative legislation. no rule or regulation can be enforceable that prohibits the incoming of Chinese to this country from the Philippine Islands.
