Afternoon Session.

Lack of attendance caused post
ponement of the consideration of
the proposed amendment to Article
AZ of the Constitution relative to the
veto power.
Bill 1874, relative to Chinese immi-
grafton, came up on third reading.
Noble Marsden favored the bill,
but moved an amendment that the
clause relating to laborer leaving
the country be more explicit.
Noble Thurston was of opinion
that the Assembly was too rapid in
attempting to legislate on this bill
before the Registration bill had been
acted on. The provisions of this bill
were simply hollow mockery and a
fraud without the protection of the
Registration bill.
Rep. Smith desired to have the bill
passed. All legislation necessary
was comprised in this Act and the
amendment to the Constitution and
the Registration Act filed the bill.
If the other measures failed he
would favor opening the door and
allowing 100000 Chinese come in, as
war measure.
Noble Williams did not see the
advantage of passing laws unless
they had an effect. He considered
that the Registration Act should be
passed first.
Noble Marsden said that labor
was most necessary. Many planta-
tions were on the verge of stopping.

If this bill did not pass the country
would go to ruin.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
moved an amendment in accord with
Sec. 81 of Chap. 81, Laws of 1887, re,
lative to the age and admission OF
children.
Noble Young agreed that labor
was necessary. If the plantations
stopped work the mechanics in the
country would have to steal or beg
because there would be nothing fol
them to do. He favored the Regis
tration Act, but considered it would
be rather difficult to find those
Chinese that might come in unde
this Act.
Noble Thurston, (sotto voce)-
Brand them as Noble Marsden ha
suggested.
Noble Young Continuing con
sidered that the present bill unde
consideration was good one, pas
it and then take up the Registration
Act People here who made thu
biggest noise against the coming il
of Chinese were the ones who EN-
ployed them the most.
Rep. Bush favored suspending &C
ton on this bill until after the Regis
tration Act had passed. If that Ac
: did not pass then the door would b
open to the admittance of unlimite
numbers of Chinese. If this bill
passed without the other then Their
was nothing to prevent the Chimes
coming in as permanent resident
unless, as was suggested, to bran
them. He moved the consideration
of the bill be deferred.
The motion to defer the bill unit
: action had been taken on the Regi!
tration Bill was lost, the vote bein

Rep. Smith said that the count

ers. Mechanics could not object

Noble Baldwin also desired
