amendment is to require the President OF the United
States instead of Collectors Of Ports to enforce the
provision for sending out of the country Chinese

ment is to strike out the fourteenth and hfteenth
sections of the House BILL providing that no State

Chinese Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 1Sth-In order to obtain the
desired auth rty to report back the House Chinese
bill from the Foreign Relations Committee without
delay, Senator Miller was obliged at to-days meet

the fourteenth and fifteenth sections known as the
Farley and Grover amendments to the original bill
but he will heartily cooperate with those Senators
and friends of the vetoed bill in having the commit
tees Recommendation in this regard promptly re-
ported He says he has no doubt whatever that
these sections will be tanned by decisive vote in
the Senate. The other amendments, in Mler's
opinion, although not made at his instance, but
solely on motion of Edmunds, will strengthen the
bill. All but two cf them are verbal amendments,
| which make the phraseology somewhat clearer, and
these two seem to be based amply sufficient
grounds.
