The Chinese Immigration n.II.

Senator's Miller's bill ito enforce
treaty stipulations relating to Chi
Aese" passed the Senate yesterday.
The last treaty with China contained
clause providing that if Chinese
laborers should be excluded from the
United States the Chinese government
should have the privilege of examin-
ing into the reasonableness of the
ground on which it was done. Rather
straining this unimportant feature of
the treaty, the bill which has lust
passed proposes to prohibit the coming
of Chinese laborers, skilled or un.
skilled, to this country for twenty
years, and forbids any court, State or
natioual, to. admit a Chinamau to
naturalization wi hin that time. The
bill met with sturdy opposition from
Mr.. Edmunds and others, on the
ground Of violation both of the con-
stltution and the treaty with China,
1t was held also to be contrary to the
democratic spirit and traditional poll
cy Of this country. Tho bill was fav.
ored by leading democrats. 1t now
goes to the House where it will be
further discussed.

Inspector Byrnes, of New York, never
had the slightest confidence in the in-

said that Inspector Byrnes had some
very curious and interesting expert
