Washington dispatch: McKenna Of
California has reported favorablyto the
House from the census committee the
bill introduced by Mr.. Morrow to pro-
vide for complete enumeration of the
Chinese population of this country. The
bill proposes to furnish each Chinese
person with certificate describing him,
and that any Chinese person found in
the United States after the taking of the
census without certificate shall be re-
turned to the place from whence he
came.

of the Chinese persons lawfully re-
siding in the United States,'' says
the report, ''ariseS out of the fact
that notwithstanding the legislation
that has been had for the purpose of eX
Guiding Chinese immigration, such i'm
migration continues to come into the
United States clandeStinely over the
border from Canada and Mexico and
promises to continue unless effective
measures are taken to guard the from
tier, or provision is made as contem
plated in this bill for the Identification
of the Chinese people who are now here
so as to distinguish those who shall
hereafter unlawfully come into the
United States"
