Second.

Hon. Dr. Ho Kai said that he thought the

certificate of the Consul ought to be final except in case

of fraud or forgery. Mr. Taft said that personally he con-

-curred in this view and that the proclamation of the

President tended strongly in that direction; that of

course the corruption which had heretofore existed had been

an obstacle in the way of giving the certificate of the

Consuls the weight that ought really to attach to them, but in view of the steps already referred to, he thought

that the tendency of Congress and the President would be

toward giving much more weight than had heretofore attached

to the certificate of the American Consular Officers in

China.

Third.

Hon. Dr. Ho Kai called attention to the

fact that there were quite a number of merchants and

students who were subjects of Great Britain, in Hongkong

Colony and in the Straits Settlements; that there were

others who were citizens of the Republic of France in

Tonkin and Saigon, and that there still others who were

citizens of the Kingdom of Holland in the Dutch East

Indies; he said that these were gentlemen of wealth and

education, who did not visit America because they would not

accept the humiliation of being subjected to the necessity

of producing a certificate, but he thought that all the

security would be given to the United States that it ought

to require by a passport describing their status as mer-

chants or students and as subjects or citizens of their

respective Goverments, vised by the proper American Consul;

that this would affect a very few persons; would be entire-

-ly safe, so far as the United States was concerned, be-

-cause the United States might depend implicitly on the

honesty of the Government Officials vised by the proper

American Consul; and yet the change by which they should be

allowed to come in under a passport would be most gratify-

-ing
