declaring that there was 20 ground TO
such an impression, as the usual mum
ner-1 ,900-were printed and delivered
10 Senators. An additional number O.
500 was proposed by Turpie, and in
creased on motion of Hoar to 5000
The resolution was referred 70 the com
mittee on printing.
The resolution heretofore offered BIZ
Vest on the subject of campaign worl
by an employe OF the Senate was taker
up and Plumb moved to lay it on the
table.
The discussion on the resolution was
interrupted when the conference report
on the fertilization bill was presented
AMI agreed to.
A bill to establish three additional
land Offices IN Colorado was reported
and placed on the calendar, and the dis
cussion was resumed.
Plumb withdrew the motion to lay
Vests resolution on the table, and the
resolution was adopted.
Morgan introduced bill appropriat-
ing $276,619 to be paid to the Chinese
minister at Washington as a full in-
demnity for all losses and injuries
sustained by Chinese subjects who have
| been in remote and unsettled regions
of the United States, victims of injuries
on their persons and property at
the hands of lawless men," and pro-
ceeded to address the Senate in eXplana-
ton and advocacy of it, and on the sub
| ject of the pending bill for the absolute
prohibition of Chinese immigration.
Morgan, speaking On the Chinese bill,
said he had reached the conclusion that
the will of the American people as to the
total exclusion of Chinese laborers was
an irrevocable decree and that that
EXCLUSION MUST BE REJECTED
through the operation of law, not
through that of treaty. The question
that was put to Morgan by Mitchell was
treated by the former as an attempt to
draw him into a political discussion,
aud he said he had no objection.
Il believe" said he, "that after you
nominated Harrison for the Presi-
dency, the Chinese government, with
the knowledge of his record, believed
that by delaying the question until after
the November election, it might get an
admiris ration that would be favorable
to Chinese immigration"
OO uOI UollSfOi MlICUSll replied,
chat there is a single solitary mind in
the United States of America that
honestly believes any such thing"
THE Senator" said Mr.. Morgan. sis
very fiippant in the use of that word
honestly. 1 have just stated that l
believed it, and does the Senator under
take to say that do not? ?"
II do not e,ieve that the Senator
does helieVen said It = ell

of your character in .peachment of
my honesty" Morgan Indignantly ex-
claimed.
$50 far as my character is con-
cerned," was Mr.. Mitchell's response,
81 an willing to parallel it with that of
the Senator from Alabama, either here
or elsewhere"
II expected some interference of this
kind, when stating this question:" said
Morgan.
At the close OF Morgans speech .his
bill was referred 20 the ommittee on
foreign relations. The conference re-
port on the army appropriation bill was
presented and agreed to.
MITCHELL TOOK THE FLOOR
To reply to the remarks OF Morgan. He
was surprised, he said,in view of the in
consistent and contradictory record Of
the Senator from Alabama on the
Chinese question, that when interrupt
ed by perfectly proper question he
should lose his temper and fly off into |
rage.
The Presiding Officer (interrupting)-
The Chair thinks the Senator from Ore |
gon is going too far. He must proceed |
in order.
MitcheiI-The Senator from Oregon |
will endeavor to proceed in order and |
certainly will proceed in as much order |
as did the Senator from Alabama. who |
the parliamentary rules of this body |
in direct and explicit terms.
The Senator from Alabama
has been for years past and until
within the last seven days the devoted
champion of treaty rights. He has de
nouneet in the Senate and before the
committee on foreign relations, various
looking to the exclusion of
the Chinese from this country. He
has insisted that this was question to
be settled by diplomacy. He has refer
red to measures like the funding bill as
1.-The Colorado notion" 1.-The Colorado
idea, ""the Oregon idea. or 1.-The Pacific
Coast idea" or as being brought for
ward and passed by demagogues for
and party purposes, but
when the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives passes the Chinese exclusion
bill, even without reference to the COM
mittee the Senator from Alabama fops
over the fence and declares himself in
favor of that bill, going back on
his whole record on that question This
morning he insists that the bill for
which he voted last Friday should be
amended. That is the record of the
Senator from Alabama, and it does not
lie IN his m nth to be questioning tie
of the Senator from Oregon
and the sincerity of the Representatives
and people of the Pacific Coast. The
Senator with this kind of record has
resorted to personalities and violated
the rules of this Senate, by referring to
my CHI aracter. Mr.. President, whatever
[ I ay have done, heretofore, I can say |
to the Senator from Alabama that [ /
have never come into the Senate Cham
