The reason Why the Senate has failed
TO take action on the Chinese Treaties,
Is said to be that as they will effect the
relations Of the next Administration
with the Chinese, that it is only fair to
leave its hands united and give
timo for its consideration, in view OF the
fact that important restrictive legisla-
ton is proposed. 1t is said that the
most favored nation clause in the
treaty yields to the Chinese the right to
be na~turalized in opposition to the
wishes and Legislative enactments OF the
Paciic Coast. Again, tue treaty will
not ,ffectunlly stem the tide Of Immi-
grafton, al a large part, il 10 said, Of
the Chinese immigrants are those who
