The Government Una No Monty to D«- port the Chlnttr. The Chinese question occupied the entire attention of thq cabinet lit its meeting on the lfith. U«ioro the cabinet Hireling Chief Jus lies Fuller, who dissented from the «H*clstoia of the Supreme Court, called at the White Home and had a brief talk with tne Presi dent. Subsequently the chief Justice had au Interview with Secretary Gresham. It Is understood that the conclusion reach ed by the ef.binet was that the law could not be enforced for the reasou that there was no money available for that purpose. The act only carries an appropriation of fIUO.OUO. Secretary Carlisle showed that not more than SIO,OOO of that »uiu remained. It was esti mated thut It would cost to deport all the Chinese now itr the country who hare not complied with the law more than W. 000.000. One prominent member of the cabinet, who is regarded «5 a man of great force and strength of character, made the broad asser •ft>o after the -ession waa over that the law was nothing short of a polit leal scheme en acted for political effect, <he said. In fact, something about "demagogy"), and he inti mated that there bad been n general hope among his associates that the court would have held It to be unconstitutional. It Is evident that the administration was surprised by the decision and that the situa tion is very perplexing. With the constilu tlonallty of the law settled.it is embarrassing not to be able to enforce It. but In the ab sence of money for the expenses of deporting the Chinese, there seems to he nothing that can be done. If the Chinese would simply accept the situation and comply with with the law it would simplify matters, but the Impression is that most of them will not do this, but will remain as long as possi ble. As to the expense of enforcing the law, It Is not by any means «ure that if Congress were in session the money would be appropri ated. The effects of the C hinese decision are far reaching and Involve, according to the view of many diplomats and naval officers, the severance of our diplomatic and commercial relations with the Chinese empire. They are tirm in the belief that the Celestials will re taliate in kind against the United States in the event that the unregistered Chinese are driven indiscriminately out of the country. This Is an extreme view of the situation, hut that it Is not regarded altogether as an Im probability is evidenced by the fact that naval officials are considering the question In connection with the reorganization of »he i American squadron in Chinese waters.

The Supreme Court of the United States has re-affirmed Its previou? ruling as laid down in the Langfeld case In what is prop i crly known as ”1110 hat trimming case." ; These came <>n appeal from the judgments of i the circuit courts for the United States, two , from the eastern district of Pennsylvania and j one from the northern district of Illinois, the controversy In each case being between the I collector of the port and the Importers ns to !

The ruling was In accordance with the | judgment of the Supreme Court In formei | "In this." said Judge Bhiras. we find | i here was no error and therefore the juilg i inent of the circuit court In these two eases | will stand affirmed." it is estimated at the treasury department that by the loss of the "hat trimmings ease." the United states will l>e called upon to refund from eight to ten | millions "f dollars. Some estimates place It as high as thirty millions. .Scfcretary Fos ter’s estimate was twenty-lire millions. He offered to compromise the ease for $11,000,000, but the compromise was not affected. During the last three years $2,000,000 of duty in these eases have been refunded Rates to Chicago. The Hants Fe road has announced that It prefers a round-trip rate between Denver and Chicago of #•'">. and of $lO between Chicago and Kansas City. These figures several of Hi western roads consider too low. and when the meetings arc called they will submit a proposition to bring the rates to about fit) for the Denver round-trip rale and $lB for that between Kansas City and Chicago. The fact that the rush to the exposition la not ns heavy as was expected for the month ot May, will have a strong tendency to bring rate, down. Several of the roads are inclined to make a rale that will bring the people to the fair at once. Governor Waite’s Request.

Bv Tues day evening more than two and a half Inches of water had fallen, and It was still coming down in torrents. Then It was that fears of a tlood began to be realized. In Cleveland every sower was pouring a tor rent Into the usually sluggish Cuyahoga which came down from the hills of Summit county, swollen to more than twice lu normal sixe.

The torrent was seeking the nearest way to the lake ami a half dozen lumber yards lu im course could not bar the way. Whole plies of lumber were carried along In the streets and swept out Into the lake or lodged against the abutments of bridges further down. Wednesday afternoon while great crowda were watching the flood, the first disaster happeued. ( aptain {Stanley Flannlgan and Michael Leblonde were going down the river in a row-boat used to ped He milk along the docks. When near tbe mouth of the raging stream one of Leblonde’s oars broke and the two men were quickly carried out Into the lake by the rushing stream, and as it was evident that the frail craft could not live in the angry sea thut was coming )c from the north, preparations »ere quickly l*egun for their rescue. • Seven men manned the life boat and pulled away toward the east pier of the breakwater, ( toward w hich point the boat con • ialiig Flan nigan and Lchlonde had d 1- f d.

The effect of the settlement of the Colorado troubles means a stiffening of World’s Fair rates east of the Missouri river, but they will , not reach the |>olnt which It was originally Intended that they should.

The Santa Fe has all along been In favor of a lower rate to the World's Fair than that of ficially adopted by the Association, and It will now Insist that some concessions shall be made to its wishes In this Legard.

LOVE-MAKING TROUBLE. COURTSHIP IS A NECESSARY EXPERIMENT. Many anil Vexatious Ars Hie Worries That llelong lo It Little Things Thun Assume Thrnstcn lag Proportion*. i Considering nil Its possible after effects, it in undoubtedly a very risky thing to full in love, no inattor how pleasant it muy sue in at iirst taste It is oven.a tnoro serious inattor to be gin courtship. Although love and courtship soein just as incident to youthful munkind us tho whooping cough und measles to infantile hu manity, it is no loss cortuin that t.hoir effects upon the nervous system, tho character, the prospects, and the pocket aro still more sorious and pormanent in their results. Just as the happiness of n lifetime may depend upon tho glnnco of u sparkling eye or the blush of a rnuid en’s check, so u simple accidental meeting which ripens Into acquaint ance, and thence into courtship, may be responsible for thousands of human pains and Joy a. The feeling of love itself has been described as a sort of sweet agony, and nn itching at tho heart which you can not get at to ul lcviato Almost overyono out of his teens has at some time during his life had more or less experience ut court ing—we use tho old-time word. it may have amountid lo nothing beyond tho usual school hoy’s esca pade of losing his heart to a damsel quite ton years his senior, who, if slio did not entirely ignoro tho slate of liia feelings only noticed him to gigglo at him, while she declined ail overtures, backed up though thoy were by liberal offers of apples and candies. Few of those who aro already in love would willingly be argued out of it. says Answers, but most lovers would have to admit tho pleasures of courtship have their ponaltios. Probably there is no more trying time in a person's eareor than this, and it is nn experience well cal culated to put one’s fortitudo, pa tience, self-denial, und all other vir tues to tho test. Many people would doubtless confess tiiat they never knew a day’s complete and unalloyed hap piness till they crowned thoir wooing in matrimony. Though It must, unfortunately, be said of many of both sexes that when they marry their troubles begin, tho matrimonial state may, however, be quite its often recommended to the love-sick ns a panacea for the little worries and anxieties which proceed from court hip. Not that it would bo generally ad visable to dispense with courtship altogether, as did the colobrated Dr. Abornethy, whoso marriage, though it turned out happy, was tho most prosaic and unromantle affair possi ble. ho absolutely refusing to waste his time on sentiment, and being ac cepted immediately on proposal. Courtship, apart from romance, is in most cases n necessary experiment, and atrial by which two persons muy learn to know each oilier sufficiently to know each other more. Lovers must have an opportunity to see each other in thoir various moods, and during such an experience it is but to be expected that many small misun derstandings will arise. Those, to tho sensitive lover’s mind j will be magnified, nnd possibly | brooded over till even n coolness— only affected, perhaps, but none the j less vexatious 1<» both—springs up j between the doting pair. Then there* often aviso numerous < causes, real or imaginary, generally | the latter, for one suspecting the , professions of the other. Some I may feel pained even in conceiving these professions too good to bo truo; ] but it is rarely that lovers feel them- , solves loved exactly ns they feel they 1 deserve, however modest they may seem. A lover may com pave his inamo rata’s eyes to diamonds, her lips to rubies und her tenth to poar'.e. ail — (fESMIN’S FRENCH FEMALE Plus.

Oetoead*. .. of raroty that would astoniah • jeweler; but he cannot help thinking that the futes designed him alone to gain tho prize. Yet, somehow, ho can hardly daro believe that hlio loves him with half the intensity of affection ho lavishes upon her. How many sighs, sleepless nights ami uneaten dinners such tantalizing suspicions have been responsible for will never be known. Lovo they each other with nil the devotion possible, courting couples- -especially those in habiting tho high sentimental lati tudes—aro perpetually asking them selves such questions as: ••Does tho other really lovo mo? And only mo? And lovo mo always the same? And did lie, or she. never before love ntiyono half so much as jno?” This is the fiy in tho ointment, tho thorn on the rose. An inconsiderate expression, nn in cautious word, a trivial omission in a love letter, or a falluro to recoivo tho expected comforting note with a par ticular postman’s knock may provo a thorn in tho heart for days. With many who aro wooing, and perhaps this applies to tho young ludies in particular, tho merest trifle will ongondor a feeling of being coldly neglected; that the world is an empty blunk. and that there is noth ing left but to writo sentimental poetry und to fado away like a sum mer rose- An admiring glance, or ft hint of a word of praise in tho direc tion of a possible rival, will some times be sufficient for tho green-eyed monster to feed and fatten upon for si week, or till the usual pledges are renewed and sealed by a kiss. Probably, too, only lovers or those who lmvo been lovers can compre hend tho real nnd exquisite agony of what is so lightly designated a “lov er’s tiff.’’ Such small trifles may not always produce such sweet fruit us kisses and forgiveness. It may he noeossary to tHo poetry of courtships that these little heartburnings should occasionally be felt, but sometimes I heir consequonoes arc serious. Then, again, not tho leust of tho agonies which may mar tho happi ness of lovers is the cruel possibility of their some day either drifting apart or being rudely torn asunder. Love laughs at locksmiths, but a paront’s displeasure often proves a more for midable barrier than anything in tho shape of bolts and bars. Those, lightly touched upon, are n few of the small, sweet agonies en dured by courting lovers generally.
