Christians or Chinese VINO assisted i'm the
defense or relief of the foreign legations or
the Pe-Tang Cathedral in Picking i'm 1900"
That part of Mr.. Quay's amendment ad-
hitting Chinese Christians was lost without
division, and on "A yea and nay vote the
admission of Chinese soldiers who assisted
Americans during the siege of Peking was
deteated-7 to 6S. Those who voted for the
amendments were Messrs. Burton, Dolliver.
Hoar, Platt of New York, Proctor, Quay
and Vest.
Mr.. Plat, of Connecticut. then offered his
substitute extending the present law. He
said the United States was committed 10
the policy of exclusion, and any sugges-
tions that senators opposing the bill were
seeking TO break down the exclusion policy
was gratuitous and without foundation,
but the pending bill was Unnecessary; 1t
was offensive to china at a time when we
sought her good will, and it improperly
enacted treasury regulations as law.
An amendment by Mr.. Cockrel was
stitute should not apply to Chinese coming
to participate in expositions, etc.
\ CLOSE VOTE.
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon. offered as an
amendment 10 the substitute several sec
lions of the original bill providing for TAX
ing out Chinese certificates in our insular
possessions, and amendments for that pur-
pose were Unexpectedly carried by the

corporates Section y of the original bill
as a part of the substitute and provides
the methods by which Chinese residing in
the insular territory of the United States
OHawaii eXceDted) shall take out certifi-
Gates of Identification, etc.
The decisive vote was then taken on the

necticut, extending the present exclusion

The substitute was further perfected by
an amendment proposed by Mr.. Mitchell
providing for judicial procedure in eXclu-
sion cases in our insular possessions.
Before the final vote was taken on the
passage of the substitute bill Mr.. Hoar
gave notice that he would vote against the
measure, and in this connection he made an
earnest protest against the principle of eN-
cluslon. He believed that everything in the
way Of exclusion could be accomplished
without involving the principle of striking
at a particular class or race. Holding. as
he did, that every soul had its rights and
that these rights were not dependent on
color or race, he recorded his protest
against this measure.
The bin then was passed-76 to l.. Mr..
Hoar being the only one recording himself
in the negative.
