The Veto Of the Chinese bill.
WHAT Is SAID ABOUT IT.
1t will be impossible to pass the bill to restrict
Chinese immigration over the Presidents Veto
The bill passed In the Senate by vote OF % to IS
less than three-fourths and In the House by 67 to
&c, more than three-fourths. This vote, however,
by no means indicates that three-fourths OF the
House will vote to override the veto The real
test vote taken when the bill was pending In the
House was on the KaSSon amendment to limit the
period OF restriction to ten years. Although the
amendment was defeated II received 100 votes to
ISL against.
The veto has stirred up good deal OF feeling
which Is rather confined to the Pacific slope dele
cations The representatives from the Pacific
slope say that the democrats Will now secure all OF
the Pac1nc states The republicans generally
however, do not take the veto to heart One quite

believe that had tie vote on the bill been taken

the bill to be right"
1t is probable a modified bill will be prepared

years and eliminating the passport feature. A bill
OF this kind 1t Is thought will secure Executive
approval
Senator Miller, of California, soon after the Sem
ate was called to order to-day, introduced another
anti-ChineSe bill. 1t was precisely the same as
the vetoed bill, except that 1t suspended Chinese
Immigration Tor ten years instead Of twenty.
Talking TO STAR reporter Senator Miller said he
expected other notifications would be made I'm
the bill, but that these would be made In commit
get the vetoed bill, believing 1t was right,
but being disappointed I'm that they would
take the best measure of relief they could obtain.
He said the effort to get modified bill through
would be pushed vigorously. Senator Miller de-
MED having said. quoted in a city paper, that
MIR. Arthur was the s'laSt accidental President he
wanted TO encounter" He said he had been mis-
understood and misquoted; that he did say the
people OF the Pacific coast had met with "chap-
referring to the former yeto ETC., and he supposed
somebody, overhearing the remark, had mis-
quoted it.
Senator Farley, of California, to-day also pre-
pared a bill for Introduction. 1t suspends immi-
grafton for sixteen years Senator Slater thought
the veto was rather prO-ChineSe In tone, and he
did not see where 1t gave any promise or indica-
ZION OF the approval OF any bill that would give
the people OF his section real relief. The demo-
Gratis all believe that the veto will contribute
largely to the success OF their party the Pacific
that they cannot hope for relief from their own
party,
