But the committee say there are a good many Tartar races in that part of Russia. I inquired what other races there are. but the committee can not tell us. Neither can they tell us their numbers or the degiee of immigration that we may expect. The thing that strikes me as curious and humorous is why they did not reach out and take all of Siberia in. why they cut off a piece of it and left it there as a hallowed spot from which all peoples. nations. races. kindreds. and tongues happenIng to abide there can emigrate In safetyto the United States. I want the *Senate to know concerning this matter. All this part of Russia [indicating] is excluded. all this part of China [indicating] is excluded. but all this part of Russia [indicating] is admitted and this part of China which lies east of the committees easterly line. to wit. about onethird of the Chinese Empire. is not excluded by the bill. although it Is excluded under. a treaty.
