Sect. American League.
Mr.. Brown moved the resolution
be received and placed on file.
The Attorney General drew stten-
ton to the fact that this resolution
and some others had been published
in the newspaper (the Start before
being communicated TO the Govern
ment- This was improper. He
would also draw attention to the fact
thst the allegation of the resolution
that 5000 Chinese were to be intro
duced was misststement.
On the suggestion of the Vice
President, the Acknowledgement
moved reference to q special COM
mittee of the Advisory Council.
Mr.. Brown did not agree with the
motion. At that rate, there would
have TO be special committees for
every resolution which anybody
chose TO draw up. The action in the
MISTER had been taken with great
csre, aud the importation was bur
dened with the severest restrictions.
Mr.. Emmeluth said the course of
the discussion this afternoon illus
trsted what be had said before. We
would be spending the whole after
noon here discussing resolutions
from the American League. Vice
President Wilder Would you deny
the right of petition q No; but
these people have another organize
ton. He himself opposed Chinese
immigration except under severe
restrictions, and he hoped to intro
duce bill in the near future.
Mr.. Tenney moved reference TO
the Miscellaneous Committee.
Some desultory debate ensuing on
the Chinese question, Attorney
General Smith drew attention 10 the
repeated sud unwesrying attempts
which hsd been made by the Govern
ment in all parts of the world to get
more suitable class of lsborers than
Chinese and japanese. Resort was

everything else had failed. Now the
Chinese population had diminished,
the japanese grown large, and the
late Legislature, after long debate,
had passed law providing for the
admission OF a limited number of
Chinese under restrictions of
severity unknown before. This wss
81 experiment. There was nothing
TO conceal. and desire to do nothing
which Sss not for the best interest; of
the country. He favored reference
TO committee OF the Advisory Coun-
ell
Minister Damon said the Jspsnese

Mr.. Enmeluth said he would con
tinue to call them so until he was
disabased of all his geographical
notions. He believed right made
