I hope the amendment will be adopted as offered. for it is important that there be no delay of legislation along the line proposed. and I feel the legislation now submitted is sound and wise. A considerable time ago. sir. I took occasion to bring to the attention of the Government the -belief that Chinas denunciation of the Gresham treaty necessitated the adoption of a new statute during the present session of Congress in order to avoid the danger of having the country without any law against immigration of Chinese persons into territory of the United States on the death of that treaty on the 7th of next Dedember. I promptly introduced in this House a bill designed to guard against the danger of a renewal of the unrestricted coming hither of the Chinese. Bat. sir. the executive department of the Government received the cry of danger with easy indifference.
