The majority of l'ie;e, being of comparatively little importance, were agreed to nitho t discussior,w-!'en the bill came again before the Senate, sitting as a cjinmittee of the whole, but others of more moment were strenuously objected tobv the California Senators, Miller and Farley. The fir.it of these was a proposition to strike oct Sec -ion 14 of the bill, which forbade any s ale or Federal Coui . admitting Chinese to r'l .en ship.and repealed all laws in conflict the e with. I hone," said Mr. Farltv, "that the amendment will not be adopted. At the lime it was put in the firs'. Mil I know some distinguished Senators took the ground that there was no necessity for the p-ovi-sion, because the statute already provided for it. Hut notwiihstandi ng that stat u.c, the courts hare gone on naturalising Chi nese." The amendment was rejected in accord ance wi.h Mr. Farley's wish by a vo-e of 32 ayes to 26 noes. But among the twenty six who did this much toward defeating one of the purposes of the bill was Sena.or Harrison. 9 The next amendment, which proposej to strike out .Sec.ion 1 J of the bill, in w hich it was specified that the words "Chinese laborers" should he construed to mean both skilled and unskilled laborersand Chi nese employed in mining, was also object ed to by the' friends of the bill who claimed that, uKhoul tliisiimeiidiiic.it, all Chinese laborers could reaculy gam admission bv simply claiming to' he skilled artisans. Nevertheless, the opponents of the bill mus ered sullicient strength to adopt the amendment by a majority of one vote 2y aves to 2.S nnes and among iliosc who as sisted w as Senator Harrison. The Senate tlici agreed toall theamend ments in gross, except that striking on' the nnti-n.iUinilizatiou c'ause, already rejected, and the other defining the term' ' Chinese laborer," which Sena;r Morgan of Ala bama reervedmd again moved t reject, supporting the motion in an eloquent speech. Before a vote was taken, how ;vcr, the Senate adjourned. (See Congressional Record, vol. 13, part 4, pages 3264 103270 inclusive.) On the following day, April 26, 1SS2, the Senate resumed the consideration of the bill sec Congressional Record, 47th session, vol. 13, part 4, page 33S,) the pending question beingon concurring in the amend ment made 11s in committee of the whole, striking out the fifteenth section of the bill defining the meaning of"C'hince laborers." No action w.utaKin.howcvcr.thoiigh there was an earnest and lengtny discussion, in which Senator Farley found himself com pelled to defend the bill against the savage assaults of the Republican Senators td- munds, Dawes and Infills. Senator Edmunus n.i.neuiaie'y oik an amendment to the clause providing that "Chinese laborers s.iould mean per sons usually engaged in manual labor.Th-s also failed of passage by a vote of 25 noes to 1 7 aves, Senator uarnsons sun-u.--ng. rtf 1-rtnfs.A flmont' the latte.
