Mr. President. in legislation heretofore upon the subject of Chinese exclusion there has been provision made for the Chinese in the country. in reference to whom the legislation is had. obtaining his certificate. Should the substitute proposed by the Senator from Connecticut be adopted and become the law. there is no provision of any kind or character authorizing Chinese persons in our insular possessions to obtain a certificate. Hence I offer an amendment to the proposed substitute. It is a literal copy. except that the term" six months "is changed to "eight months" in sections 12. 13. and 14 of the bill of the committee which we have .been discussing here for the last ten days.
