Calls a Halt Pending Action by Congress.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE statement in
these dispatches that It was believed that the
President had called q halt In tho execution Of
the Geary law. pending some further legisla-
tion by Congress- 1t can now be stated authors
tntively, was correct No orders have been is-
sued to hnese Inspectors, Marshals, or other
United States officers. different to or In eon-
flict with the orders issued shortly alter the
decision OF the Supreme Court. which upheld
the constitutionalty' of the Geary law. The
ordcrs then issued directed United States OILS
GERS to enforce all laws against the Chinese.
except the Geary law. and to await further in-
structions before they began tho enforce ment
OF that law.
During last week. in response to urgent So
licitations. the Treasury Department was on
the roint OF issuing general instructions for
the enforcement OF tho Gcary law. At this
point diplomatic difficulties arose in the na-
turo OF official protests from the new Chinese
Minister. Yang lu. and halt was called. No
general instructions wcro Issued. and none
will probably be issued for some time to come.
In the mean time. however. on the complaints
OF individual citizens OF Los Angeles CAL.
several Chinese have been arrested and found
guilty by United States Judge Ross OF being in
the United States in violation Of the Gcary law.
and warrants have been issued by tho court to
United States Marshal Guard lor their depor-
taton. IL is here where thu most serious em-
bnrrassment comes In. The Gnitol states Gov
eminent could not place itself in contempt Of
court. AT the same time treaty obligation with
China called for some diplomatic considera-
tion to DO given to tho protest Of tho Chinese
Minister. Accordingly Atiorncy-Gcneral Olney
instructed Marshal Guard to carry out the law
us to deportation IA far ~ the funds on hand
for that purpose Will admit, inlimutinl. that
when they are exhausted the deportation will
have to cease until further action hr Congress-.
