President. I desire to file the petitions which have been offered by me during the present session of Congress as well as those of my colleague urging the passage of this particular bill. No lawwill be effective to accomplish the exclusion of the Chinese except sone bill substantially like that reported by the Committee on Immigration or as that passed by the House of Representatives. Any other bill is but a subterfuge of those who either have no particular interest in the exclusion of the Chinese or. on the other hand. perhaps are in favor of their general admission. The details of the question have been gone over so carefully by others that it is not necessary for me to go into the reasons for the enactment of this legislation at this time.
