The Next Question With which the Govern
ment Must Grapple.
BAN FRANCISCO. May 16.-Collestor of In
ternai Revenue Quinn said that the decision of
the United States Supreme Court relative to
the deportation Of Chinese did not surprise
him. He will take no action. how
ever, until receipt Of further advices from
tne treasury Department. as he was notified
some time ago not to make any arrests until
iurtner orders. He thinks by their sys-
temauc course OF opposition to the law
the Chinese ''Six Companiesn have
brought about their own destruction.
=, In case the deportation Of Chinese is ordered
the collector says be will begin on the criminal
ana worthless classes first He has list and
description OF nearly 1000 Of such in this city
alone and could get at them at once. Then be
would begin on the laborers.
District Attorney Carter and Collector of
the Port Phelps said nothing could be done
until further orders from Washington but ex-
pressed the opinion that deportation would be
no easy task
A number Of prominent Chinese merchants
were seen last evening and expressed great re-
gret at the decision Of the court, saving
that ii meant terrible setback to their business
interests. Chong Chan said be estimated il
would mean loss to Chinese merchants of over
csc. 000,000 They look, he sand, for a modif-
cation Of the law
Dispatches from Portland, Ore, and many
points in this state say the Chinese as a rule
received the news quietly and declined to talk
until they had advices from the ''Six Com
panies."
Prominent Chinese at Sacramento expressed
the opinion that the ''Six Companies had
done wrong in advising Cinnamon not to reg
lister. The white people throughout the s:ate
generally received the news With approval, the
exception being some easterners and Few

thousand or more people assembled at 30
and Market last night to celebrate the delivery
Of the anti Chinese decision The chief addresses
were by the anti-Chinese agitators, DIR. C. c.
O'Donnell and Denis Kearney, but neither
speaker succeeded in arousing q high
degree Of enthusiasm. 1t was decided to hold
procession next Saturday night, and presi-
dents of all labor unions were named as q COM
mittee of arrangements.
AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS FROM WASHINGTON.
PORTLAND, ORE, May 16.-Great satisfaction
is expressed here over the decision Of the
Supreme Court on the Gea-y law.
Cinnamon have nothing to say, but
are waiting instructions from the
Chinese Six Companies. Regarding their
deportation federal officers state that nothing
can be done without instructions from WASH
ngton. There are about 81. 900 Chinese in this
istrict and less than 1000 have registered.
There will be no riots or anti-Chinese
demonstrations Of any character. The China
men now here interfere but little with white
labor, and the principal objection to them in
this city is their filth.
How IL 1t To Be Douee
CINCINNATI, May 16.-The Enquirer today
says, apropos Of the Chinese deportation de-
cision by the Supreme Court: show are we to
deport them? Neither money nor ships have
been furnished. We might get up riot and
kill few, but the reaction from that is un-
pleasant"
