It is estimated that it would cost to deport all the Chinese now In the country who have not complied with the law more than $6,000,000. This statement exhibited what one member of the cabinet called the utter Inability of the government to give any effect to the law without further action by congress.Under the circumstances it Is understood nothing could be done, and it Is said there Is little If any probability of the federal government making any Immediate effort to put the law Into effect. One prominent member of the cabl- net, who is regarded as a man of great force and strength of character, made the broad assertion after the session was over that the law was I sum of 1500 for his nothing short of a political scheme I trial during the term Portland, Me., May 16.

He said In fact, something about demegoguery, and Intimated there had been a gen eral hope among the associates that the court would hold it to be uncon stitutional. It Is assumed that the or dinary course of the supreme court that as soon as the majority of the members of the court are determined upon Its exact phraseology It will be transmitted to the Chinese minister to bo by him forwarded to his govern ment. This will necessarily Involve con siderable delay, and congress will prob ably be again In session before a re ply can be made to the communication. It Is evident that the administration was surprised by the decision, and the situation Is very perplexing. With the constitutionality of the law settled, It Is very embarraslng not to be able to force It, in the absence of money for the expense of deportation. If the Chi nese would simply accept the situation and comply with the law, It would simplify matters, but the- impression is that most of them will not do this but will resist as long as possible. As to the expense of enforcing the law It Is not by any means sure, that If congress was in session money would be appropriated. The effect of the Chi nese decision Is far reaching and in volves, according to the views of many diplomats and naval officers, a sever ance of our diplomatic and commercial relations with the Chinese empire. They are firm In the belief that the Celestials will retaliate against the United States.-. That this extreme view of the situation Is not regarded alto gether as an Improbability, ' is evi denced by the fact thatnaval officials are considering the question with the reorganization of the American squad ron in- Chinese -waters.On .the other hand, at the state department rumors and surmises of Chinese retallatldn are not given credence to.

Secretary Carlisle received many tele grams today asking for a suspension of the operation of the law for at least six months. The best opinion ob tainable on. the subject in the treas ury department is that the law is ex plicit on one point, having set the 5th I of May as the last day upon which not yet suspended, though the officers admit a financial stringency will prob ably compel them to do bo.- It is an nounced .the investors will probably be paid in full.

All the sub-divisions of the women's congress were In ses sion In the great art palace on the lake front The halls and corridors of the big structure were crowded with famous women. Topics ranging from dress reform to evolution were under discussion. Mrs. May Wright Sewell, of Indiana, president of the interna tional council of women, presided over the department on dress reform. She appeared in reform costume, with a full skirt cut eighteen Inches from the floor and limbs below the border en cased In neat-fitting blue Igtngs. A number of the ladles In the audience wore reform costumes. In the department of congress of the national couno 11 the president an nounced that owing to the absence of Francis F. Russel, that lady's report of committee w irks wuuM te road by Rachael Foster Avery. Secretary Avery Is one of the ultra reformers, and the ladles in the audience Insisted on her standing on a table so they might see her costume. She cllmed up and there was a general chorus of "Oh's."Her attire reminded one of the dress on the Turks in Midway Ploisance. Her skirt, of blue flannel, came Just below the knees where the garment was di vided and caught up, leaving the an kles half way up free and unfettered. The waist was a loose1 blouse. Mrs. Henrietta- Russel created an other Butter in her tllustratlon of "How beauty mokes reform possible.' With her form arrayed In an adapta tion of Greek drapery, she was herself a most striking exponent on the mat ter om which she spoke. SUNDAY OPENING QUESTION, Chicago, May 16. The attendance at the World's Fair today was not nearly so large as yesterday. The weather was anything but pleacant. Both leg islative bodies of the fair, the national commission and the local directory are laboring diligently upon the Sunday opening question. The directory has adopted c resolution revoking the Sun day clos;n' ruk-, wid at n imvilng of the commission It Is probable tho ropo- lutlon may be brought up for concur rence. What action may be taken 1? problematical, as the commissioners are divided on the subject. The state of Illinois Is likely to take a hand in the battle which may be waged. Sena tor Sullivan: of Cook has prepared a resolution to be Introduced at Spring field, tomorrow, setting forth the facts In the case and Instructing the attor ney general to use every legal means at his command to the end that the fair may be opened to the people on Sunday. A resolution to open the fair on Sun days and return theloan advanced by the government was adopted by the board of directors by a vote of 34 to 2, The first Informal vote was taken on the resolution to open the fair without saying anything about refunding the loan. This was carried by a vote of 31 to 6. When the roll was called on the resolution opening the fair and re funding the loan there were but two dissenting votes. The proposition to make the admis sion lee zs instead of 50 cents was voted down. The nesolution provides for the opening of the building the machinery not running, (with religious on the ground and sacred music in the cho ral halls. The matter will be consld ered by the commission tomorrow, and the belief Is expressed among the di rectors today that the national com mission would concur in the action. Washington May 16. Attorney Gen eral Olney has rendered an opinion in which .he holds 'that the law of con gress providing for the closing of the fair prohibits the opening of the branch postofflce located in the postoftlce de partment of the exhibit on Sundays. In accordance with this opinion the postofflce and other government exhib its will probably be closed on Sunday. with a new vessel under the British flag. He Is heavily armed with mod ern Improved rifles, and boasts that he will give battle to the first revenue cutter that attempts to overhaul him. PALLISTER'S BODY FOUND. Sing Sing, May 16.
