Ex-Indian-C Com Oner WrighI's PAM
Phlef-
District-Attorney Patrick, in an inter-
view, yesterday, stated that he had
nothing to Withdraw from the letter
written by him to Acknowledgement
Williams, and printed in J. w. Wright's
pamphlet. He also stated that the letter
purporting to have been written by
Special-Agent Williams, is pronounced
by that gentlemen to be a gross forgery,
and that Attorney General Williams
recently told him Patrick that no such
letter was ever received at his
Office. Mr.. Patrick is of the opinion
that Wright's object in publishing his
pamphlet was TO create public senti-
menJ here and elsewhere against the
good faith of the government in its
prosecution OF him, and also to occasion
such relations between the government
and the officers of the criminal court
here as would render it probable that the
government would discontinue its prose-
cutiOn against him in that court.

retary of the treasury, relative to the

to issue next week about two hundred
thousand dollars in the regular course of
business, but this VIII depend some-
what upon circumstances. If gold
should go up, silver would not be paid
out, nor would it be if it was to be sold
again to banks for speculative purposes.
1t is not to be expected that the treas
ury will begin on the first of November
to pay out silver coin for every purpose,
and thus exhaust Immediately the en-
tire amount held by the government.

ing such payments was presented by the
to-day, who said that if per-
son should present check for S25. $40,
