Chinese Exclusion Measure Applies to
Philippines Too.
"Washington, March 13. The ntnate
committee on Immigtation has agreed
to report favorably the Mitchell bill
for Chinese exclusion. Tt is substan
tially the same as the modified bill
Bubmlttted by the Pacific Coast com
mittee, only a few verbal corrections
having been made, A point which oc
casioned much considera:on by the
committee was "whether or not Chin
ese should bo excluded from tho
Philippines or whether the whole re
sponsibility should be left to the Phil
ippine commission. Tho committee
agreed to retain the posWon of abso
lute exclusion, taking the ground that
the United States wan'od to retain
the Philippines for the Filipinos and
that the latter were as much opposed
to the admission of Chlnc-:e as were
Americans.
Another section of tLe bill about
which the committee debated at
length was that of excluding Chinese
sailors from ships of American reg
ister. This provision also was re
tained in the bill, but with a proviso
to the effect that in case of accident,
stresB of -weather or serious illness
the captain of a vessel may ship a
Chinese crew for one voyage upon
which he may have entered. Aiding
in the escape pf Chinesp held in de
tention is made a felony punishable
by both fine and imprisonment. This
new provision applies exclusive pro
visions of the bill to Chinese who en
ter as merchants, students and the
like and become laborers.
