SILVER PAYMENTS.

WASHINGTON, April 1S,-The Cabi-
net had under consideration to day the
question of the issue of silver, and the
manner of so doing under the law Just
signed by the President. The Attor-
ney General, to whom the law had
already been referred, announced at the
meeting that the law required that sill
yer be issued without delay. There
was considerable conversation upon the
subject of the necessary regulations to
govern the issue. The Secretary of the
Treasury explained the results of the
consultations between himself and other
officers of the Treasury Department.
A. soon as the Cabinet adjourned, and
Secretary BristOw had returned to the
Treasury, he issued the following regu-
latiOms, viz:
The several Assistant Treasurers of
the United States are hereby author
ed upon the presentation at their re-
spectlve offices for redemption of the
fractional currency of the United States
in sums of S5 or mutipleo thereof as
sol ted by denominations and in amounts
not to exceed 800, to issue thereon a
like amount of the silver coin of the
Uaited States OF the denomination of
ten, twenty, Twenty-Five, and fifty
cents and furthermore, upon the pre-
sentation for redemption at the Office
of the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States in this city of any amount
of such currency properly assorted and
in sums of not less than S25, the Treas
uTer Is authorized to issue silver coin
thereof to the amount of currency pre-
sented, or he may issue his check
therefor, payable in silver at either of
the offices hereinafter named, at the
option of the party presenting the cur
rency. AS far as may be practicable
from time to time fractional currency
redeemed in silver under these instruc
tions by any of the Assistant Treasur-
ers or any designated deposltors of the
United States will be sent in sums of
81 900 or multiples thereof to the
Treasurer of the United States in this
city, the amount to be charged in the
Treasurer's general coin account as
transfer of funds, and any amount of
such currency for which silver has been
paid remaining at any time in the hands
of the several offices will be treated as
coin assets, and in no case will such
fractional currency be reissued.
Fractional currency sent by express
or otherwise to the Office below named
- Ill. H. 10
visions of this circular, should be ac-
cOmpanied by letter of advice stating
fully the address of the sender, and how
the remittance in payment thereof is

made payable. The Government will
not pay express charges on the silver
issued or the fractional currency pre-
sented for redemption under the pro-
visions of this circular. ..-
