GROVER CLEVELAND.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _March 8, 1888_.
_To the Senate_:
A copy of the following resolution, passed by the Senate on the 1st day
of the present month, was delivered to me on the 3d instant:
_Resolved_, That in view of the difficulties and embarrassments
that have attended the regulation of the immigration of Chinese laborers
to the United States under the limitations of our treaties with China,
the President of the United States be requested to negotiate a treaty
with the Emperor of China containing a provision that no Chinese laborer
shall enter the United States.
The importance of the subject referred to in this resolution has by no
means been overlooked by the executive branch of the Government, charged
under the Constitution with the formulation of treaties with foreign
countries.
