MINOR MATTERS.

Copy OF tho Geary Act Decision to Be For
wrrded TO the Chinese Government
WASHINGTON, May 1S-The Chinese min
lister has assured Secretary Gresham that
hs believes the Chinese government will
not resort to any retalistory measures.
The mandate of the Supreme Court of the
United States to the Circuit Court for the
Southern district of New York. affirming
the decision of that court in the exclusion
cases, was transmitted yesterday. This
disposes of the matter finally, unless the
case again comes before the court on o new
question. It is thought that q copy of the
majority opinion of the court Will be for
warded to the Chinese government through
diploma attic channels before any extended
system of hostile action under the law will
be inaugusated. The probabilities seem TO
favor a prolong ged status quo on the Chinese
expulsion question.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the Treas
ury Department. has been called upon to
decide whether Chinese saloon keeper is
q laborer or q merchant. A Chinaman en-
gaged IL the saloon business left New York
for O visit TO his home in China. about six
months ago, and has now returned. He
was denied entrance. and the case has como
here for final decision. It may reach At.
torney- general Olney before the after is
finally disposed of.
