ne.e question occupied the entire atten-
ton Of the cabinet ~ its meeting today.
Isefore the cabinet meeting Chief Justice
Fuller, who tlissented from the decisions
Of the supreme court. called IT the White
House and had q brief talk with the press-
dent. Subsequently the chief justice had
an inferview with Secretary Gresham. Is
IL understood that the conclusion reached
by the cabinet was that the law could not
be enforced for the reason that there 10 no
money available for the purpose. The act
only carries m appropriation Of $50. 0o0.
fecrefary Carlisle showed that not more
than SO 900 Of that sum remained. 1t Is
estimated that IL would cost TO deport all
the Chinese IN the country who have not
complied with the law more than 1G.00),
Oo0. This statement exhibited what one
member Of the cabinet called the inter in
ability OF the government 20 give any
effect 70 the law without further acton by
congress. Under the circumstances IL Is
understood that nothing could be done
and IL il said there il little. il any, prob
ability Of the Federal government making
any immediate effort to put the law into
effect.
One Of the prominent members of the
cabinet, who II regarded a. a man Of great
force and strength Of character. made the
broad assertion after the session vas over
that the Law was nothing short of politi-
cal scheme enacted for political effect. He
said. In fact. something about demagogy.
He tntimated that there had been . gen.
eral belief among his associates that the
court would hold the law 20 be unconssi-
tut!orai. Il In assumed that. in the ordi-
nary course, the decision OF the supreme
court, ~ soon ~ . majority Of the men,
bers Of the court have determined upon Its
exact phraseology. will be transmitted TO
the Chinese minister To be by him for
warded 10 has government This will
necessarily involve considerable delay,
and congress viii probably DO again
in session before reply can
be made To the communication.
IL IL evident that the administration IL
surprised by the decision and that the
situation IL perpiexing. With the cons:i-
tutionaiity Of the Law settled, it is EN-
baYrassing not to he able to enforce il be-
cause Of the absence of the money for the
expense Of depostipg the Chinese. II the
latter would simply accept the situation
and comply with tho law Il would simplify
matters, but the impression 10 that most
Of them will not do this. but will resist as
long ~ possible. A. 10 the expense Of en-
forcing the Law. IL IL not by any means
sure. II congress was In session, that the
money would bs appropriated. The i'm
psession is quite general that the admi:,is-
trat,on will have TO allow the present
orders to collectors not to make arrests
60 stand. The final soiu ton Of the prob
lem would seem TO devolve on congress.
and until tina, body assemblies it does not
appear that the Law can be enforced.

Sir CharleS Russell Continues His Ar
gament for Great Britain.
PARIS, May i6.--Sir Charles Russell re-
sumed his argument today on behalf of
the British case before the Bering sea
tribunal. Sir Charles argued that the
seizures Of British vessels in Boring sea
were not justifable. and reviewed At
length the original rights transferred by
Russia to the United States in 1878. Sir
Charles continued:
The ukase OF 1871, in which Russia asserted
Jurisdiction over he, subjects on all hunting
grounds and establishments on the coast of
America from the 55sh degree OF north latitude
to Bering sea straits, thence southwark to
Japan and along the Aieutian. Kooril and
other islands in all the northeastern ocean.

tests both from Great Britain and the United
states, and subsequent treaties recognized the
position OF Russia to exclusive Jurisdiction
over the waters OF Ber!ng sea untensble. Hence
tho right derived from Russia by the United
States was merely an ordinary property right in
soil aad not in seals.
Sir Charles endeavored to prove frcm the
language between Russia, England and
the United States that Great Britain had
never departed from her objection to Rus
sia's claim to exclusive jurisdiction IN
Bcring sea and that Bering sea was not
mare ciausum. but that all nations had a
right TO free navigation in that. sea. Sir
Charles incidentally REQUIRED to the forged
interpretations in the Russian documents
10 sustain the American case. He said he
was sorry he had Internationally caused
umbrage, bu; he would have TO make a
further allusion to the forgeries. as not
