The October session Of the July term
of the supreme court OF Kansas convened
in Topeka yesterday. The docket is
much larger than it was last month and
includes several very important ceses.
Of these there are four presenting ques-
tons affecting the constitutionality of
the mortgage redemption law passed by
the late legislature. Great interest has
been excited ali over the state by these
cases and the decision of the court is
anxiously awaited by many in interest.
The two points regarded as particularly
interesting the body of the people are:
Does the redemption feature apply 10
contracts entered into before the passage
of the law? and. is the clause knocking
out the sheriff-s fees legal? The case of

Much more or less silly talk has
been INDUCED in about the probabil-
ity of war with China because of
the supreme court having declared
the Geary law constitutional. Need
less to say neither the president nor
Secretary Gresham have the remotcst
idea that there will be any serious
trouble with China. The Chinese
minister told Secretary Gresham
that his government would not take
any retaliatory steps, and that it
would, as far as possible. protect
Americans in China from any attack
which the ignorant natives might be
disposed to make upon them. The
Geary law will be enforced by the ad-
ministration to as great an extent as
possible with the means at its COM
mand, but the lack of sufficient ap-
preparation to pay for their trans
portation makes it possible that no
Chinese WISH be returned to China
until congress shall have decided
whether it Will appropriate the large
amount that will he needed-S6. 0OO,-
600 is the estimate-to send the more
than 100, 900 who failed to register in
accordance with the Geary act back
to China, or modify the law so as to
allow those who are now in the
United States to remain. Many CEN
gressmen who voted for the Geary
act have announced their willingness
to vote for an amendment to allow
the Chinese now here to stay, in
preference to appropriating the
money necessary to send them to
China
