CHINESE DEPORTATION.
The constitutionality of what ig filled the “Geary Chinese Registration Act,” deporting all Chinamen from the United States who failed to register on or before May 5,1893, on appeal before the Supreme Court at Washington, was sustained on May IG, Chief Justice Fu!l->r and Justices Drown and Field dissenting. It is possible that actual eviction of the Celestials will not take plage for some months, on the plea that no funds are available for the purpose of deportation, the expense, according to a moderate estimate, being set at six million dollai-s. That the United States Supreme Court sustained the constitutionality of the, Act gives great satisfaction to a majority of the people in California, chiefly the working classes, as that part of the United States has suffered more than any other by the presence of the Asiatic.
