The American Com ission mt the Vienna
| ExpOsition-Expected Retirement OF
! Minister Jay.
There is nothing definite about the United States
Chief Commissionership at Vienna. Mr.. schultz,
after the suspension OF General Van Buren,, took
charge OF the business only until another arrange
ment could be made, and he is now DESTROYS of
being relieved by July /. His executive ability has
proved satisfactory that eur government has re-
quested him to remain in the interest OF American
exhibitors till the close of the Exposition but in
the event of his declination to reconsider the
notice OF his retirement Mr.. Garrettson, hereto
fore intimated, will be his successor that gentle
man having heen strongly endorsed for the posi-
ton. The latest information is that some OF the
articles sent from the United States are
of such an inferior quality that their dis
play would not be creditable to the manufacture
ing Skill of this country, and therefore, they VIII
be excluded from the Exposition. The American
department has now nearly recovered from the
effects of the late Irregularities, far contrbu

country is not SO fortunate. 1t would be no sur
prise IT, stated, Minister jays official life should
be terminated at the close OF the Exposition. The
fact Is known here that when he was appointed,
about four years ago. he said he desired to remain
abroad only about half that time. His retirement
will be voluntary, without any Intimation from
the administration in that direction.
Minister schenck's Emma Mine Come to
Grief.
Information from one OF the engineers employed
to examine the famous Emma mine, with which
Minister Schenck's name was at one time con-
nected, shows that the mine is total failure The
British stockholders paid one million sterling, and
are now eight hundred and forty thousand pounds
minus, and have little or nothing on the mine.
This is the official report to the stockholders.
The New silver Trade Dollar and the
Alarm or the Mexican Government on
the Subject.
The Mexican government, alarmed at the state
ments made in the HERALD in May last OF the
purpose which our government had In establishing
the trade dollar for use in the Oriental countries
as an outlet lor our silver, Immediately decreed
that the new dies should be destroyed and the dies
In use prior to November 8, 1867 should be re.
stored. 1t appears from letter received here
from the City OF Mexico, from an Engshman inter-
ested in the coinage OF Mexican silver, that while
en- route for Mexico copy ofthe HERALD containing
the article came under his attention. On arriving
In the City OF Mexico IL at once translated and
published both IN Spanish and English. Extra edi-
tions OF the papers were published, resulting in
legislation restoring the old dies. The Chinese
especially, objected to the new coinage alleging
that they did not want innovation as they had no
confidence in the standard OF the new Me xican
dollars. The report had been extensively
circulated that the United States govern
ment was ABOUT to issue trade dol
lar, and the demand for coinage that could be
relied upon has poured into the San Francisco Mint
from China, while the bullion deposited by New
York dealers to supply the Eastern market indi.
Gates how unpopular the new Mexican coinage has
become, and how greedy the Chinese are to receive
pur trade dollar as a substitute. In official circles
those fully informed say that the trouble with the
new coinage Of Mexico Is not in the dies but IN
the nneness and weight, as the new dollar does
not come up to the standard. Whichever way, the
HRRALDs exposition OF the intention OF this
government mas alarmed the Mexican capitalists
who do not desire that the market for silver coin
should be closed against them. The Director Of the
Phiadephia Mint to-day telegraphed the Treasury
Department that the coinage OF the new dollar
would begin probably on the eth OF July, but GER
tainiy not later than the 10th OF July
