to omit ho effort to find! an effectual
remedy for the evils cinplained of,
and to answer the earnest popu

of Chinese! laborers hiving objects
and purppse, unlike' our ' own
and wholly disconnected with
American citizenship! Aided by
the presence in this country
of able!: and intelligent diplomatic
and consular officers of the Chinese
government and rereeen ations
made from time to timeDy our min
ister in China under instructions of
the Department of State, the actual
condition of public tenement and the
status of affairs in the United States
has been fully made Ifcaown to the
government of China. JfThe necessity
for a remedy has beentl fully appre
ciated by that government, and in
August,' 1886, our minister at Pekin
received from the Chinese foreign of
fioe a cdmmanication announcing that
China of her own aooord proposed to
establish a system of strict and abso
lute prohibition of her, laborers, . un
der heary penalties, frfim coming to
the United States, andj likewise pro
hibit the return to the);United States
of any Chinese laborerwho had at any
time gone back to China, "in order'
(in the words of the communication)
'that Chinese laborers may grad
ually be reduced in number &nd the
causes Of danger averted and lives
preserved.' This viefr of the Chi
nese government, so ; completely in
harmony With that of the United
Stater, was by my direction speedily
formulated in a treaty draft between
the two nations, embojlyiDg the prop
ositioni so presented by the Chinese
foreign! office. Deliberations, fre-

"The trusts that bloom
I've got to take under My
at, puce telegraphed to China, whither
the origiLal treaty had been sent im
mediately after its signature on March
12th. Oo V 13th of last month I
approved Sei ate bill No. 8304, "b
prohibit the ooming of Chinese labor
ers to the Uniied States." This bill
vaa I intended! to supplement the
rfiatV, and was approved in the con-
fi lent anticipation of an early ex-
cV-acge of i ratifications of the
t eav and ; its amendments and
proclamation of the same, upon which
event the legislation so approved was
by its terms to take effect. No infor
mation of any definite action upon
he treaty by the Chinese crovernment
was received till the 21st ultimo the 4
day the bill which I have just ap
proved was presented to me
when a telegram from our
minuter at Pekin to the Secre-'
tary f of State announced the re
fusal of the Chinese government to
exchange ratifications of the treaty
unless further; discussion should be
had with a tiew to shorten the pew;
riod stipulated in the treaty for the
exclusion of Chinese labor, and to
change the conditions agreed oh
which should entitle any Chinese 1-.
borer who might go back to China to
return again to the United States ' 1
Bf a note from the charge d'af-
fairea ad interim of China to the See-?
re'ary of State, received on the even
ing " of the 25th ultimo, (a
copy of which is herewith trans-.
mitted, together with the reply
thereto) a third amendment is pro
posed whereby a' certificate under
whieb any departing Chinese laborer,
alleging possession of properly in thfc
Umted Sates would be enabled to
return to this country should be
granted jbv the Chinese consul in
stead of the United States collector
as had been provided in the treaty.
The obvious and necessary effect of
this last proposition would be practi
cally to place the execution of the
treaty beyond the control of the
United States. Article 1 of the treaty
proposed to be so materially altered
had, in the course of the negotiations;
been settled in acquiescence with
the reemest of the Chinese nlenirjo
tentiary and to his expressed satisfae
lion. .
In 1886, as appears in the doctt
ments heretofore referred to. the
Chinese foreign office had formally
proposed to Our minister a strict
exclusion of Chinese labor from the;
United States; without limitation, and
had otherwise and more definitely.
stated that no term whatever for the j
exclusion was necessary, for thej
reason that China would of itself take:
steps to prevent its laborers from,
ooming to the United States.
. In the course of the negotiations
that followed, suggestions from the
same quarter led to the insertion, in
behalf of the United States, of the
term of "thirty years;" and this term,!
upon the representations of the Chi-
nese plenipotentiary, was reduced to
twenty years: and finally so agreed
upon. Article 2 was wholly of Chi
nese origination, and to that alone'
owes its presence in the treaty.
And it ia here pertinent to remark'
that everywhere in the United States
laws for the collection of debts are'
equally available to all creditors, with
out respect to race, sex, nationality:
or place of residence, and equally
with the citizens or subjects of the:
most favored nations and with citi-
sens of the United States. Recovery
can be had in any court of justice in
the United States by. a subject of
China, whether of the laboring or of
any other class. No disability accrues

from the non-residence of a plaintiff
whose claim can be enforced in the
usual way by him or his assignee or
attorney in our courts of justice. In
this respect it cannot be alleged
that ; there exists the slightest dis
crimination against Chinese subjects,
and It is a notable fact that large
trading firms and companies and in
dividual merchants ana traders of the
nation : are profitably established at
numerous points throughout the Uni
ted Statea in whose hands every
claim transmitted by an absent China
man of a just and lawful nature could
be completely enforced.
The admitted and paramount right
and duty of every government to ex
clude from its borders all the ele
ments Of foreign population which for
any reason retard its prosperity or
are detrimental to the moral and
physical health, of its people, must
be regarded as the recognized canon
of international law and intercours
China herself has not dissented from
this doctrine, bort has, by expressions
to which I have referred, led us con
fidently to rely on suoh action on
her part in co-operation with us aa
would enforce the exclusion of
Chinese laborers from oar coun ry.
This co operation has not, howev
er, been accorded us. Thus iron in a
unexpected and disappointing refusal
of the Chinese government to con
firm the acts of its authorized agent
and to carry into effect an internatiou-
al agreement, the main feature of
which was voluntarily presented by
that government for our acceptance
and - which had been the subject of a
Iocg and careful deliberations emer
gency has arisen in which the govern
ment of the United States is called
upon to act in self defense, by exe
Qise of its legislative power. Jl 3ai
hot bat regard the expressed demand
on the part of China for the
re-eXamination land renewed dis
cussion of the topics so com
pletely covered by the mutual treaty
stipulations as an indefinite postpone
ment and practical abandonment of
the Objects we have in view, to which
the government of China may justly
be considered as pledged. . The facts
and circumstances whioh I : have nar
rated lead me in the performance of
what seems to be my official duty, to
join 'Congress in dealing legislatively
with the Question of the exclusion of
Chinese laborers in lieu of further at
tempts to adjust it Dy international
agreement. But while thus exercis
intr our undoubted ricrht in the inter
ests of jour people and for the general
welfare1 of our country jUstioe and
fairness seem to require that sou 3
provision should be made by act
or ioint resolution under whic1!
such . Chinese laborers as shall
actually have embarked on their
return : to the United Stales
before the passage of the law this
day approved and are now on ihele
way ; may be permi ted . to land, pro
vided they have duly and lawfully
obtained and shall present ertiacat s
heretofore issued permitting them u
return in accordance with tho provis
ions of the existing law.i Nor shoal i
our-recourse to legislative measurea
of exclusion cause us to retire from
the offer we have made to indemnify
such Chinese subjects as have suf
fered damage through violence to. re
mote and comparatively unsettle 1
portions of our country at the hanis
of lawless men. Therefore I recom
mend that without acknowledging
the legal liability therefor, butbsciuse

WASHIRaTOK, Oct. 1 Sbkatb.
kmong the communications presented
as one from the Italian Minister at
.Washington acknowledging with
fratitude on behalf of the people of
taly the preamble and resolution of
tbe Senate accepting the bust of Gar
ibaldi presented by Italy.
Among the bills reported from com
mittees and placed on the calendar
were the following -.
House bill (with amendments) to
forfeit certain lands granted to the
Northern Pacifio Railroad Co-
House bill to construct a road to
the national cemetery at Florence,
South Carolina.
The President message to Oon-
Sress, announcing his approval of the
hinese exclusion bill and submitting
some suggestions and recommenda
tions on the subject, was laid before
tbe Senate and read at length.
Mr. Sherman moved that the mas
sage be printed and referred to the
committee on foreign relations. He
remarked that the only legislative
suggestion made in it had already
been .'acted on, an appropriation of
$276,000 having been put in the de-
f t-nA T a. -i it . ;
nciency diu to inaemniiy tne jninese
for losses inflicted on them in tbe
territories.
Mr. Hale remarked that that item
was now in conference between the
two houses.
Mr. Dolph remarked that that was
not the only matter suggested for
legislation in the message. It also
recommended immediate legislation
to authorize the landing of Chinese
laborers now oq their way with cer
tificates, tie regarded it as a very
extraordinary proposition for the
President to approve a bill cutting
off, "summarily and completely, the
entrance of Chinese and then ask
Congress to disapprove of it and to
amend it. After remarks on tne same
subject by Mr. Stewart, the message
was referred to the committee on
foreign relations.
Mr. Hale offered a resolution re
citing the circular of Gen. Benet di-
rectincr the d isobar ?e of Republican
employees from U. o. arsenals, stating
that under it honorably discharged
soldiers of the Union army and the
widows and daughters of soldiers
have been discharged, and directing
the Secretary of War to transmit to
the Senate forthwith full information
as to such order, stating fully whether
the necessities of tbe Departments
required that the order should be
issued, and why an order issued on
public business should be marked
"TVinfiriant.ial"
VVMUWMMv
Mr. Cockrell objected to immediate
consideration of the resolution and it
went over till tomorrow.
The Senate then took up as "un
finished businetab" the Senate bill re
ported from tbe committee on publie
lands on the SUtb of August, restor
ing to the United States certain of
the lands granted to the Northern
racino luuiroaa (Jompany and was
addressed by Mr. Berry.
Mr. Plumb replied to Mr. Berry
The debate was wholly between these
two Senators, and was entirely pohti
cal, turning on the land policy of the
Democratic and itepubhoan adminis
trations and upon the tariff.
On motion of Mr. Dolph, the House
bill on the same subject was substi
tute d,f or the Senate bill, and then Mr.
Dolph onered the senate bill as a
substitute for the House bill the
obj ct and effect being the passage of
the House bill with an amendment.
Pending action on the motion the
bill went over till tomorrow as unfin
ished business.
On motion of Mr. Call, the Senate
bill granting the right of way through
the naval and military reservations
near Pensaoola, Florida, to the Pen
sacola and Memphis Railroad Gem
pany was taken from the calendar
and passed.
The Senate proceeded to executive
business, and at 4:20 adjourned.
H0D8X.
In the absence of the Speaker, Mr
MoOreary, of Kentucky, occupied the
chair as speaker pro Um.
Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, obtained
consent to withdraw from the files of
the House the bill introduced by him
some time ago, by requeat, to amend
the inter-state commerce law so as to
prohibit common carriers from trans
porting any commodity for any ship
per in a oar owned, leased or in any
way controlled by such shipper.
The following bills were introduced
and referred:
By Mr. Dougherty,of Florida, to pre
vent tne introduction oi contagious
diseases from one State to
another; also to establish a
scientific bureau in Jacksonville
to (rather facts in relation to yellow
fever, its origin and spread, and the
best means of auppreesing and pre
venting it.
By Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, pro
posing a constitutional amendment
providing that one -third of the mem
bers of each house of Oonirresa shall
constitute a quorum.
By Mr. Fhelan, of Tennessee, pro
viding for the appointment of a board
of yellow fever commissioners to in
vestigate the sanitary condition of
foreign infected places and to pro
vide for the co-operation of Spain and
Mexico.
By Mr. Latham, of Texas, the fol
lowing resolution: That it is the
sense of this House that appropriate
legislation for the prevention and
suppression of trusts is impera
tively demanded in behalf of the
great body . of American people
and that the remainder ' of this
setsioa or so much thereof as
msy be necessary should (be devo
ted to the perfection of such legisla
tion, and to that end all other legis
lative business, except general appro
priation .arfd tariff bills should be
subordinated nntil the purpose of
this resolutiori be attained.
By Mr. Abbot, of Texas, for the
prtvsntion of trusts.
the House a message from the Presi
dent announcing his approval of the
Chinese bilL Its reading was at
tentively listened to and at its con
clusion Mr. Breckinridge, of .Ken
tucky, moved a reference of the mee-
Sje to the committee on foreign
airs.
Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, offered
to amend by referring the messege to
the committee on invalid pensions.
The amendment was rejected and the
original motion prevailed.
Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, was recog
nized to move to suspend the rules
and put upon its passage the Senate
bill to incorporate the Maiitime Canal
Company of Nicaragua.
After the bill, bad been read Mr.
Lawler, of Illinois, demanded a sec
ond. As it was apparent that there
was no quorum present, Mr. Dunn
inquired of Messrs. Spinola, and
Li&wler whether tbey intended to
raise that point, and upon receiving
an affirmative answer, withdrew his
motion.
A similar action was taken by Mr-
Morrow, of California, with the Sen
ate bill to increase the limit of the
appropriation for a puplio building at
San Francisco. Having been called
up and the point of no quorum raised
by Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, Mr. Mor
row withdrew the measure.
Mr.- Abbott, of Texas, then moved,
under the suspension of the rules, a
passage of the Senate bill, for the
erection of a public building at Fort
Worth, Texas.
Mr. Dingley, of Maine, inquire d
whether Mr. Kilgore intended to
raise the point of no quorum upon
this motion.
Mr. Kilgore replied that he had
nothing to do with this bill, where
upon Mr. Lyman, of lows, demanded
a second on the motion and intimated
his intention of raising the point of
no quor um.
Then Mr. Kilgore manifested a de
sire to compromise and withdrew the
point he had made against Mr. Mor
rows' bill, and Mr. Abbott tempora
rily withdrew his motion to enable
the San Francisco bill to be again
called up, but this time it met with
no better fate, Mr. Anderson, of
Mississippi, being the objector.
The House then at 2 25 adjourned.
