Description
Daniels writes about the Chinese situation, in particular the Geary Law which was enacted about a year earlier. This law required every Chinese to register his name and place of residence by May 5, 1893 and prohibited the entrance of any more Chinese into the country. Chinese who did not register would be sent back to China at United States government expense, except for merchants and those born in the United States.
