THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
The Government Has No Money to Enforce
the Geary Act-Win Probably Await the

The Government Has No Money to Enforce
the Geary Act VIII Probably Await the
Action of Congress.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Chinese
question occupied the entire attention
of the cabinet at it's meeting yesterday.
Before the cabinet meeting Chief JUS
tice Fuller, who dissented from the de-
! cision of the supreme court, called at
the White house and had brief talk
with the president. subsequently the
| chief justice had an interview with
Secretary Gresham.
1t is understood that the conclusion
reached by the cabinet was that the
law could not be enforced. for the rca-
son that there was no money available
for that purpose. The act only carries
an appropriation of 800, 900, and Sccre-
tary Carlisle showed. that not more
than SIG, of that sum remained. 1t
was estimated that it would cost to de-
port all the Chinese now in the country
who have not complied with the law
more than 100000
This statement exhibited what one
member of the cabinet called 1.-The utter
inability of the government to give any
| effect to the law without further 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 govern
ment making any immediate effort to
| pat the law into effect.
The effects of the Chinese decision
are far-reaching and involve, according
| to the view of many diplomats and
naval officers, the severance of our
| diplomatic and commercial relations
| with the Chinese empire. They are firm
| in the belief that the celestials will re-
taliate in kind against the United
| States in the event that the unregis-
tered Chinese are driven indiscrimin-
ately out of this country. This is an
extreme view of ;he situation, but
that it is not regarded altogether
as an improba bility is evidenced
| by the fact that naval officials
are considering the question in connec-
ticn with the reorganization of the
American squadron in Chinese waters.
The original plan was to substitute the
steel cEliser Baltimore for the wooden
ship Lancaster as the flagship of the
station. 1t is now thought that it may
be necessary to enlarge the fleet and to
| substitute two or more modern ships
for those now in Chinese waters. The
consideration of this question is delay
ing the settlement of the question OF
the assignment of stations of the YES
sells now composing the naval review
| fleet.
On the other hand, at the state de-
partment rumors and surmises of Chi
nese retaliation are not given credence
to. Not evenan intimation bearing on
the report that the Chinese government
intends to deport American mission
aries and all other citizens of this coun-
try has come to the ears of the depart
| mepf officials

A FRANK ADMISSION.
A London Financial journal Talks About
American Credit Abroad.

American Credit Abroad.
In relation to to the silver situation
in the United States the London Statist
of December 2i. makes the following
observations: For one thing it is very
clear. that if the United States were to
accept silver as practically the standard
money of the country. there would be
a very considerable rise in prices in the
regulated by the value of gold; then
they would be regulated by the value
of silver and they would consequently
rise very considerably. That would, in
the first place. stimulate production.
exports would largely increase, and all
producers receiving higher prices would
come to think that their profits were
increasing. Nor ought there to
be any difficulty in maintain
ing the credit of the United
States abroad. There are very many
ways in which sufficient gold could be
obtained to fulfill all the foreign obli-
cations of the country. For one thing,
the government might if it pleased con-
tinue to collect the customs duties in
gold, as it did while specie payments
were SuSPtH"eu- Dut III any case "hdt-
ever course was adopted. "a country 50
rich and growing SO rapidly as the
United States would be easily able 10
obtain whatever gold it required to
fulfill all its obligations, let its stand
ard of value be what it might. We see
no reason to doubt, then, that the
progress of the United States would be
as rapid and as well assured with. a
single silver standard as with gold
standard: quite possibly, even, it might
he more rapid"

But BimetaiIism Differs from Monomet-
allism in Degree Only. Not in Kind.
A writer in the Fortnightly Review
has obtained from nearly 300 leading
manufacturers and merchants in the
British isian Is expressions of opinion
respecting the causes os the depression
of bu sincss an / the fall of prices. Upon
one point there is practical unanimity
anon" these persons, and that is that
the depression is largely due to declin-
ing prices and that the downward
tendency of prices may be attributed
to the appreciation of gold under the
influence of the demonstration of sill
yer. 1T would seem. therefore," re-
marks the writer of the article. that
the appreciation of gold is injuring our
manufactures. our trade and our COM
merce.'' This is the opinion of the in
terested parties. and it is also the opin-
ion of theorists of high rank, for"
remarks the writer. almost all the
teachers of economics in Great Britain
to-day are binetallists." 1t would he
curious to ascertain what is the opinion
upon this subject now prevalent among
the manufacturers and merchants of
our Atlantic seaboard. If the newspa.
pers of the country represent them, as
suredly they do not regard the matter
at issue as it is regarded in Great
Britain; but the plain indicat ions are
that our journals obtain their views
from the financial rather than from the
commercial and manufacturing class
At any rate there is not the smallest
reason for doubling that the theory
l,., .x-1. .
thoroughly sound. and that the gold
m0ncmetallism which is robbing the
producers of this country of hundreds
of millions of dollars annually is also
destroying values and paralyzing in
dustry in the British islands,. We may
hope that British public sentiment may
soon acquire force enough to compel
the british government to cast its in
fiuence for silver remonetization.-R

A Petrified Body Identified.

HONEY GROVE. Tex, May 1.-THE
body of petrified man which has been
on exhibition in this city to-day was
identified as that of man named John
McCaulley by John Ward, popular
and reliable farmer. He declared that
McCaulley was killed by the Indians
while assisting in driving a bunch OF
cattle through that country in 1867. On
the fossil can be seen dents made by the
bullets exactly in the places where Mr..
Ward says McCaulley was wounded.
The size and shape of the petrified body
also tallies with Wards description,
and there can hardly be a doubt that
he has properly identified the body.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE boxing kan
garoo died yesterday in the barn which
had been her quarters since her
arrival. 1t was seized with chill
Saturday. 1t continued to grow
worse, and Sunday morning Messrs.
Allen and Harris, her owners, called
IN a veterinary surgeon, but he could
do nothing. The kangaroo cost Allen
and Harris $1,000, including the ex-
pense of bringing it to this country.
As it was as proficient in boxing as the
one that earned fortune at the Lon
don aquarium, her owners expected to
reap a rich harvest by exhi biting it
here during the worlds fair.

A Big Hole in an Auditor. Accounts.

fetal act of the democratic attorney gem
eral of Illinois was TO draw up a legal docu-
msnt making a formal demand upon re-
publican ex-auditor Of Public Accounts
buysement to in the insurance department Of
the auditors office. During the months
preceding the late election it was
common assertion OF democratic
orators throughout the state that an
examination OF the auditors Office
would develop grave irregular titles and it is
perhaps the remembrance of these charges
which tonight gives 30 much eredence to
the astounding assertions that between
amounts collected in the insurance depart-
mont and amovnts paid into the state treas
ury there be found una%ccounted fol- the
startling discrepancy of sixteen to eighteen
Thousand dollars per annum.
