In that State. Referred.

The order for adjournment from to-day
until Monday was adopted.
Tho discussion Of the Chinese bill was
then resumed and Farley continued and
resumed his remarks. lie spoke OF the
vital interest OF the question 10 the people
on the Pacific slope. He claimed that the
general government owed this legislation
to that people under conditions Of R,tar.
antee Of the Republican form Of govern.
ment, as the Pacific States, under the de.
ctstou declaring the ordinance in San Fran.
cisco unconstitutional, had not the power
to protect their laboring communities in
earning a livelihood. The claim that China.
menIhad. benefited theState by their labor
in building railroads was offset by the loss
to California Of that immigration from East.
ern States and Europe, which she desired
and which the presence Of the MouPolians
had turned away. He then read extracts
from the testimony taken before the Com
gressional Commission, showing the simi.
larity OF the Chinese pauper labor and the
Southern slave labor, and contended that
the Chinese had never shown any aptness
in arts or sciences, and that while they
were cunning and shrewd imitators they
had never been inventors.
Mr.. Farley concluded with ampliiication
OF the point that Chinese shrewdness had
manifested itself in increased immigration,
which had occurred since the negotiations
for treaty, the objects OF the emigrants
being to secure the advantages Of the pro.
posed legislation, to which they would be
entitled by the treaty stipulations us resi-.
dents oi this country. He also contended
that the introduction Of Chinese into the
South would bring about war Of races be,
tween the Mongolian and Africans. He
added that the disastrous competition to
which white labor was subjected by Chi.
nese immigration in California would not
be tolerated in any other Suite, and that,
MS to a certain extent, had that Suite been
peopied by men from Massachusetts and
other New England States, the Senators
from that section would be willing in
ameliorating that condition OF affairs lie
believed it would be better to have a wall
Of fire between the United States and
China than to permit immigration to con-
tinue.
Mr.. Maxey followed in advocacy of the
bill, declining to iscuss it from standpoint
Of ecstatic sentimentality and subIimated
humanitarianism,
Mr.. salisbury favored the bill, but adyo-
Gated the modification Of the period of the
suspension OF immigration to ten years.
Mr.. Garland said the Legislators were not
bound toshut their eyes agains. that which
was known to them ms individuals. Refer
ring to the statements ofthe California Sem
ator's vote Of that State against immigra-
ton, and the efforts made by California
and Georgia to rid themselves by law OF
what had become an absolute nest upon
the body polite, which efforts had been
defeated by the laws being declared uncon-
stitutional, he said the TACT on which Iegisla-
ton was predicted really did exist. The
question OF power alone remained. Upon
this point Garland argued that upon well
recognized principles Of international law
that the new treaty expressly vested the au.
thority to SO legislate in Congress. He
said he opposed the Fifteen passenger bill,
as he believed its restrictions were not war.
ranted by treaty stipulations The exist
ence OF the new treaty had removed his oh.
lection.
Mr.. ingalls, said he was prepared to say
that the communities Of the Pacific coast
had the right to Judge for themselves rs TO
the propriety Of this legislation, and as they
had spoken here through their represents
tiyes, he was content Therefore the only
question was whether the bill was reasona.
bic and in accordance with the treaty stip-
ulations.
