bill, and presented statistics of trade be-
tween China and the United States. Hs
urged a postponement of any action by
Congress looking to Chinese exclusion
until the expiration OF the present treaty
in 1901.

treat her with some degree of considera-
ton and some decent regard for inter-

,nese traveller and Chinese merchant have
been unfairly dealt with.
Mr. Hamlin presented resolutions of the
ing the Proctor BILL continuing in force

barrassed by the passage of any new law.
At the conclusion OF the hearing. Mr.
