Minister Peterson explained the
bill. japanese laborers that fulfilled
their contracts came to Honolulu
and made mischief among their
countrymen. 1t was the desire of
the japanese Government that such
characters should he returned home.
In the original convention with
japan the right was granted to this
Government to deport disorderly
Japanese laborers. This bill only
applied to countries having treaties
with us Of that nature, the only one
at present being japan. 1t was
proposed to amend the third section
so as to include Chinese, in accord

unconstitutional.

their passages.

the only country having a treaty
such as mentioned, which was as
good as saying Japanese.

same"
