This portion of the bill. according to the statement of the chairman of the committee. who brought the general bill into the Senate. has not been considered by anybody. The Senate Committee on Appropriations concluded to bring it in here. let the Senate take charge of it. and do what it pleased with this portion. I submit whether it is not wiser and in the interest of good legislation that all the portion of the bill that was brought in on the subject of Chinese immigration be stricken out. except that part which makes it surer that the law will stand in harmony with the treaty of 1894. if it has not been annulled. so that when the time comes and another session convenes. we shall have an opportunity. through committees. to take up the whole subject and report such legislation as ought to be enacted. r. CLAY. If the Senators amendment prevails. as I understand. it will merely reenact the present law.
