BAN FRANCISCO, IAt., May id.-A th0ti-
sand or more people assembled AT Third

the delivery Of the amti.Chinese decision.
The chief addresses were by the anti
Chinese agitaturs DIR. c. G.. o. Donncll and
Dennis kearney, but neither speaker sac
ceeded IN arousing high degree of en-
thusiasn.
1t was decided to hold procession next

THE POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THE LAW.
The Rev. Dir. Conditt, the head of the
Presbyterian Chinese missions on the
Pacific coast who has been engaged in
Chinese mission work for over - years
and has spent much of the time in South
China, was interviewed relative to the
effect of the Supreme Court decision in
China, He said
II feel that an attempt to enforce the
provisions Of the tieary act SO far AS to
depOrt the Chinese now in the United
States Will be very dangerous thing.
should expect that Immediately upon
learning Of an attempt to do this the
Chinese government would order all
Americans to leave China at once.
Every American building in China
would be destroyed either torn down or
burned, and the killing Of many of the
American residents could hardly be pre-
vented.
"'lhe first move would no doubt he the
recalling of the Chinese ambassador and
consuls now in the United State, and the
sevcring Of all diplomatic relations.
"Df course, further traffic between China
and this country would be out of the
question. am certain that serious
trouble will follow the enforcement Of the
law, because | understand thoroughly the
Chinese nature and Chinese methods Of
revenge.
Then have something else to judge by
in regard to this question, in HE shape Of
a letter from DIR. Martin, president Of the
Imperial College of Pckin. In tins letter
DR.. Martin says that he called not long
ago upon Ii Hung Chang, tine Chinese
prime minister, and asked him the very
questions you are now asking me, ami the
only reply that Ii Hung Chang would
make was that the Americans would ali he

faction is expressed here over the decision
of the supreme Court on The Geary law.
Cinnamon have nothing 10 say, but are
waiting for instructions from the Chinese
companies.
Regarding their deportation, Federal
officers state that nothing can be done
without instructions from Washington.
Thereare about Il 900 Chinesein his district
and less than 900 have registered. There
will be no riots or ti.Chinese delnunstra-
tion of any character .@.
The Cinnamon now here interfere but
little with white labor and the principal
objection to them in this city is their filth.
MAY RE WAR WITH CHINA.
ST.. LouIs. May l6.-'rhe Gi0bc. Democrat
this morning says editorially of the SUI
premc Court decision of the Geary law
THE case is finally settled and China
must abide the consequences. 1t is proba-
BILE she will adopt policy Of retaliation
and eXpel all Americans from her terri
tory, There Will probably be a mutual
withdrawal of diplomatic representatives
i and practical suspension of commercial
intercourse 1t is feared by some that war
may also ensue, The news from that
quarter viii! therefore be awaited with in
terest There is material iii the case for
serious trouble should the Emperor OF
China decide to take the risk and it re-
mains to be seen what course he Will
pursue"
WASHINGTON, May l6.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day With full attendance, the
Chinese question rs complicated by yeser-
days 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 enforced for the
reason that there was no money available
for that purpose. The act only carries an
appropriation OF 100000, and Secretary
Carlisle showed that not more than
$4,000 of that sum remained, with some
bills still unaudted to be acted upon. II
was estimated that it would cost 10 deport
all the Cinnamon now in the country who
have not complied with the law more thar
Sb0O0,0O0 This statement exhibited what
one member OF the Cabinet called the uttel
inability of the government to give any ef
feet to the law itself, without further action
by Congress. Under the circumstances il
was understood that nothing could bt
done, and it is said there is little. il any
probability Of the government making any
immediate effort to put the law into effect
One member of the cabinet, who holds
high place and is looked upon as u man o.
force and strength of character made thu
broad assertion, after the session was over
that the law WAS nothing short of
political scheme, enacted for political eff
feet he SAID, in fact, something abou
'demagogucry," aud he intimated tina
there had been Il general hope, among hi
associates that the court would have helt
1t to be unconstitutional.
1t is assumed that, inthe ordinary cours'
of diplomatic usage, copy OF the decision
OF the supreme Court, rs soon as the ma
jorty members OF the court had deter
mined upon its exact phraseoloSy, will b,
transmitted to the Chinese minister, to b.
by him forwarded to his government.
This will necessarily involve consider
able delay, and Congress will probably b,
again in session before return can be mad
TO this communication.
WANT THE LAW SUSPENDED.
WASHINGTON, May l6.-Numerous tele
grams have been received at the Treasur
Department since yesterday noon respect
ing the decision OF the supreme Court II
the Chinese exclusion cases. Most Of thes
kilograms ask that the law be suspende
for at least six months as its execution q
this time will impose great hardships o.
Cinnamon in the United states.
Among the kilograms received is on
from the attorneys of the Chinese 81
Companies, who also ask for a suspension
of the law. Treasury officials acquainte
with The record Of the SIX Companies utll
ing the past three or four years regard thl
request, coming from them, as rather SUI
prising in cool assurance. THESE official
