Mr. President. that I am not opposed to the Senators resolution. and I understand his purpose. of course. which Is to secure friendly trade relations between this country and China. and to remove all misapprehensions. I realize the fact that he does not desire to enlarge the immigration of the cooly class to this country. But I think the Senate is entitled to the information. however meager it may be upon this question. from men who have been in the Orient even for a day or two. and their impressions may add somethng to the general information on the subject. I state to the Senator that while we were in Hongkong and Canton this uprising against the Chineseexclusion law was the the subject of the hour. and that we were discussing that question with English merchants and American merchants. and with Engish officials and American officials and Chinese officials. and that necessarily we got some information upon the subject.
