Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last word. Now. Mr. Chairman. I am in favor of this amendment increasing the appropriation for enforcing the Chineseexclusion act from $500.000 to $600.000. In 1904 we appropriated $600.000 to enforce this Chineseexclusion law. In 1905 we appropriated $600.000 again. Now CommissionerGeneral of Immigration Sargent says that last year they did not expend $600.000. and therefore this year they come and ask for only $500.000. I remember that two or three years ago my friend. the gentleman from Georgia. Judge BARTLETT. offered an amendment here appropriating $250.000 to prosecute thetrustsa special fund.
