Have Inot answered that precisely? Istarted out by answering it. In the treaty of 1880. which was a modification. by which additional articles were agreed upon. and which treaty is sometimes referred to as the supplemental treaty of 1880. it was provided that we might limit. regulate. or suspend. and we promptlyproceeded to suspend. Then in 1894. not satisfied with the treaty of 1880. which gave us that right of suspension. we agreed that as to immigration we should have the right to absolutely prohibit. Of necessity that was a substitute in that particular for the treaty of 1880. and all the other provisions on that subject are similar.
