 NEW YORK, August 2S'-The Herald
 says of the constitutionality of the Chi
 nese law: A treaty is the supreme law
 of the land in the sense that an act of | Congress IS, that is until it is abrogated
 or suspended by later act of Congress.
 On any subject within its sphere Con-
 gress may pass law violating every
 clause of the existing treaty. The en-
 actment Of such law may amount to a
 fragrant breach of faith with foreign
 power, but its constitutionahty cannot | be questioned on the ground that it IS in
 conflict with the treaty. The issue thus
 raised is one f'r government or Congress, ! and not for the courts, to deal with.
