bill on the subject of Chinese i'm.
migration, spoke as follows: I
should like to have the bill referred
to the Com mittee on Foreign Re
lations and wish to make one re-
mark in reference to it. The bill
was introduced in the House of
Representatives originally by Mr..
Shelley of Alabama. 1t relates to a
subjest Of great importance to CAL
ifornia and to the whole Pacific
Coast, and l believe to the future of
the whole country. Heretofore l
have stated to the Senate the rea-
sons for this opinion. The bill
which l now introduce Is q differ
ent plan of relief from the one 1
formerly introduced, but the Leg
islature Of California, after q thor
ough investigation into the whole
matter by an able Committee have
passed a resolution recommending
the passogo OF this bill aud 1 defer
