Another Anti.Chinese Bill Prcpnr-
Ing.

New YORK, March IL.
The Times Washington correspondent
says: The agitation Of the Chinese ques-
ton will begin with the assembling Of the
Forty-sixth Congress, when Jones OF Ne
vada will appear a. the champion of anti
Chinese legislation, in place Of Sargent, as
there will be no delegation from California
during the called session. Jones will in
troduce q bill in the Senate Is soon as it
convenes. The bill will be . more careful
elaboration OF the original measure re-
ported by Willis Of Kentucky. The hu-
name features Of the vetoed bill will be
preserved in the new measure, and the
restrictive clause will be SO framed as to
meet the objections made as to interfer-
ence with treaty rights. II is claimed
by the advocates Of anti-Chinese legisls-
ton that the Presidents veto OF the
Chinese bill wss directed against the pro-
posed notice Of a~brogation Of articles five
and six Of the B~urlingame treaty, and not
Of the power Of Congress to legislate for
the exclusion of the Objectionable class Of
emigraLts. Indeed, they claim that he
virtually acknowledged both the right and
duty Of Congress to do this. Therefore
the new proposition is to be made to con-
form to the Presidents views as expressed
in the veto message, under the belief that

ure claim that the Chinese Embassy in this
country, speaking for its government, fully
comedies that there is no necessity of in
volving our treaty relations in this contro-
! versy, but that this government, through
it's Legislature, has the right to take such
action as will suppress the immigration OF
contract laborers held under debt liens.
Jones, in addition to preventing the re-
striction bill, will offer . resolution re-
questing the President to open negotia-
tons at once with the British government
for Q more restrictive regulation Of the
Hongkong traffic, with the view of get
ting some immediate relief. He will also
ask the State Department to cause .
special inquiry to DO made through our
Consular officers, or other agencies in
China, into the truth of the statement so
positively made by C~alifornians, that the
lien over the Monaghan laborer brought to
this country is made effective in China by
a system Of family enslavement, which the
peon has to work out, to the Six Com
panies, after his arrival here. The object
Of establishing officially this fact, il it be
true, is to give this Government ground on
which to make q diplomatic appeal to
China, calling her attention to the
unjust nature of such q system and urg-
ing it to assist in its suppression. Another
object in making these efforts is to keep
the relations between this and the Chinese
Government upon . friendly basis, and TO
show that it is the desire of the United
States to prevent the immigration only Of
Objectionable persons.
