I regret very much to say that after the conference report had been agreed to in the other Ilouse it was found that a change which had been made in one of the Senate provisions had been put in the wrong place. The conference committee desired to mitigate or relax. if they could. the law in regard to aliens who had taken out their first papers declaring their intention to become citizens of the United States. In doing that a provision was placed at the beginning of the bill. where it would have the effect. as was found on examination. of nullifying the deportation clause in case of the whiteslave traffic and also in cases of disease or crime. It therefore becomes absolutely necessary to transpose the clause to the proper place. It is with regret that I do so.
