THE GEARy LAW.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee met yesterday and discussed
the substitute prepared by Chair
man McCreary for the Everett bill,
amending the Geary act. The Cali
fornia member offered various
amendments, providing for photo
graphing Chinese in order to make
identification more certain, but
pending a vote on them the COM
