THE CHINESE QUESTION
DISCUSSED In THE CABINET
MEETING YESTERDAY.
Decided that the Law Cannot be En-.
forced for the Reason that There is
no Money Available for the Purpose.
BY Southern Associated Press.

BY Southern Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 16.-At
the cabinet meeting today with full
attendance. the Chinese questi as
complicated by yesterdays decision
OF the Supreme Court was discussed
from every point Of view, and it is
understood the conclusion reached
was that the law could not be en-
forced for the reason that there was
no money available for that pur-
pose. The act only carries an ap-
preparation of 100000. Secretary
Carlisle showed that not more than
$4,000 OF that sum remained, with
some bills still unaudited to be
acted upon. It was estimated that
1t would cost to deport all the Chi
namen now in the country who have
not complied with the law more than
six millions of dollars. This state
ment exhibited what one member of
the cabinet called the utter inability
OF the government to give any
effect to the law without fur
ther action by Congress. Under the
circumstances it was understood that
nothing could be done and it is said
there is little, if any, probability of
the federal government making any
immediate effort to put the law into
effect. One member of the cabinet,
who holds high place and is look
ed upon as man of force and
strength and of character, made the
broad assertion after the session
was over that the law was nothing g
short of a political scheme enacted
for political effect. (He said in
fact, something about "demagoge-
ry" and he intimated that there
had been general hope among his
associates that the court would
have held it to be unconstitution IL.
1t is assumed that in the ordinary
course OF diplomatic usage a copy
OF the decision of the Supreme
Court as soon as the majority of the
members OF the Court have deter
mined upon its exact phraseology,
will be transmitted to the Chinese
Minister to be by him forwarded tc
mis- government. This will necessa-
rily involve considerable delay and
Congress will probably be again in
session before return can be made
to this communication.

building is over $100. .0OO; insurance
$4,000. Cushing't stock, insured
for $4,000, amply covered the loss.

Sioux FALLS, S. D., May 16.-
Judge d. D. D. Twiggs, of Augusta,
Ga, for eight years Judge on the
Supreme Court bench, and prom,
lnent in politics, has been divorced
from Lucie E Twiggs, a leading So
ciety woman of Augusta, Ga, and
relative of Senator John B. Gordon,
OF Georgia. The case was brought
in Brcokings, small town near
here, to avoid publicity. Mrs.
Twiggs made answer to the suit to
make the decree binding, but no
serious fight was made in the case.
A minor child WAS given into the
custody of the mother. The mar
riage occurred in May, 1861, and
in 1883 Mrs. Twiggs, unable to live
happily with her husband, deserted
him and five children, born of the
union.

2. They're perfectly easy in their

4. They're the cheapest, for they're
