I ask the attention of the Senator who has just taken his seat. I intend to vote for this substitute. but I submit that we add to it. It proposes to provide that said laws shall apply. first. to all territory under the jurisdiction of the United States. second. to all immigration of Chinese laborers from the island to the mainland territory of the United States. and. third. from one portion of the island territory of the United States to another portion of said island territory. Provided. however. That this shall not apply to the transit of Chinese laborers from one island to another island of the sme group. or to any islands within the jurisdiction of any State or of the district of Alaska.
