treaty hangs fire in the senate and a
failure of that body to act is creating
some discus ion Of its reasons. One
reason stated is that the treaty will
affect the relations of the next admin
istration with the Chinese, and that is

islation is proposed, urged.

grafton, as large part-two-thirds, it
is said,-of the Chinese immigrants are
those who are returning after one term
of residence here, and as such are not
included.
