The Presidsnts Reasons for VetoinR the
Chinese BAH.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Immedia-
tely after reception of the Presidents
message vetolng the anti Chinese
bill, the President pro TEN suspend
ed operation of business to lay the
communication before the Senate,
and directed it to be read. Reading
Of the message was listened to with
marked interest by the Senate. The
vital objection of the President is to
the twenty years suspension of I'M
migrf ton, which he construes %
virtually prohibitory, and therefore
violation of the spirit, if not the
letter of negotiations on which tho
treaty was based, and as breach of
national faith. The message calls
attention to the proposition made by
the U. S. commissioners on this
point, and counter proposition on
the part of China to show that the
understanding of the latter country
concerning the agreement ultimately
made was carefully gua.dsd. With
out naming any specific period OF
suspension, the President suggests
the length of term should be expert
mental. The message and bill were
temporarily laid on the table and Or
dersd printed.
The President said Chinese labor
had been of great value in this coun-
try, and that monuments of their in.
dustry existed. They had largely
built the Pacific railroad across this
continent, but it might be wisely
considered now VIII tnsr limitation
may be put on immigration of this
labor. But if there be too much of
it in one section of the country the
same labor may be needed in anotb-
or section, and the law should con.
slider this matter and make such
limitation as would permit this labor
to 60 where needed. Immigration
should be limited or restricted to q
reasonable period. The President
then points out other features of the
act which in bis opinion can be
modified to advantage. The system
of personal registration and pass
ports is specifically mentioned a.
undemocratic and hostile to our
constitution, and he alludes to the
omission of an act to make any pro.
vision for transit to China or Chin
Csc subjects now settling in foreign
countries, to which subject. the
President adds, his attention had
been called by the Chinese minister.
The message referred to alleged
benefits to industry derived to the
Pacific slope by the presence Of
Chinese heretofore, aud expresses
apprehension of the injurious effect
upon American commerce with
Chinese legislation of the character
of that proposed by the United
States. :-,.ip. =, pa

Another Chinese Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator
Miller introduced another Chinese
bill to-day, the same as the vetoed
bill, except that it provides for sus-
pension of immigration ten years.
He says that he expects that other
notifications will be made in com.
mittee with view to making the
bill conform as nearly as practicable
to the Presidents views as outlined
in the veto. Miller says that the OPP
ponents of Chinese immigration will
press the new bill with vigor. hop
ing to pass it at once and obtain tho
Presidents approval. He says that
the Pacific coast people, now that
they cannot get what they want, will
accept less. There is an impression
that the President will approve the
bill suspending Chinese immigration
only ten years. No good authority
assumes to have heard the President
say so, and some members of Con- {
gress who supported the veto bill
express doubt as to the President's
approval of ten year bill. They
say that there is nothing in his veto
to indicate willingness to approve
such measure, but on the impress
sion that he might do so, the bill Z
continuing ten years suspension has
been introduced.
