FOREIGN NEWS.
THE AMEER's REPLY,

LAHORE, Dec. 1.-THE reply Of the ameer of
Afghanistan to the viceroy of India ultimatum
has been received by the Indian government
1t is dated the 10Th of November, but not hav
ing reached Dakka before the Both of that
month, it is believed in official quarters to have
been rewritten after the news of the capture of
Ali Musjid. The ameer criticises the professed
friendly intentions of the British government,
and alludes to its action in the past, especially
It's intercession in behalf of Yakoob Khan, as
contradictory of such intentions. The ameer
explains that his refusal to receive Gen. Sir Ne
vile Chamberlain's mission was not intended to
be hostile, but arose from fear of the loss of his
independence, an apprehension which3 was
confirmed by an alluslon in the ultimatum to
protection being given to the Khyber who had
been engaged in escorting the mission. The
ameer declares no enmity exists between At
ghanistan and the British government, that he
desires to resume the former friendly rela-
tions, and finally that he will not resist the
visit of a small temporary mission.
LAHORE, Dec. 1.-THE letter which the viceroy
of India received the I'd inst. announced that
Maj. Cavagnari had received from Sheere Ali
was the ameer's answer to the viceroy's ulti-
matum. 1t concludes with declaration that
he eutertains enmity towards the British
government He desires to resume the former
friendly relations, and will not resist the visit
OF the British mission to Cabul.

INFORMATION WANTED.

n Detailed Statement of The Plan of Re
sumption Wanted-COnfdencc IN Its Sue
cess.
Washington Special dec. s. to Chicago Tri-
bune.
There have been numerous requests from
the West that the secretary of the treasury
should give moro detailed statement of his
plan with respect to resumption than was
contained In his annual report to Congress.
Information of this kind is especially sought
from Western States, where the commercial
classes do not yet seem to be certain of the
methods or results of resumption. TO a
person making an application for such state
ment to-day, Secretary Sherman stated that,
as his report had been SO recently made, he
did not wish to have any further public ut
terance come from him upon the subject of
resumption at present. It is evident, there
fore, that Secretary Sherman intends to al
low this question to rest upon the statements
of his report, at least until we have arrived
nearer the date of resumption. If the chief
of the treasury, however, refuses to talk, his
subordinates have increased confidence in the
success of resumption. Indeed, some of
them who hitherto have expressed grave
doubts on the subject. are now confident Of
the successful execution Of the resumption
act. Two things appear to have furnished
occasion for this increasing confidence: first,
the decision to receive legal tender notes for
customs everywhere; second, the discontinue
ance of the issue Of gold certificates. The
first decision, it is claimed, will relieve mer-
chants at ports other than New York city of
any embarrassment about the payment of
customs, while the second will practically de-
feat the plans of any Wall street OF bank clique
that may have conspired to exhaust the treas
ury gold. Under the old system of issuing
gold certificates it would have been possible
for spectators after Jan. LIST to have simply
exchanged certificates for legal tenders for
gold certificates and to have repeated this
operation indefinitely as long as they could
raise greenbacks upon their gold, and thus
seriously cripple the treasury. By discon-
tinuing gold certificates, however, the treas
ury will be able to say to all Corners that if
they wish the gold they will have to bring
their wagons and take it away, care for it,
and insure it themselves. The order dis
continuing these certificates is claimed to be
entirely within the power, of the secretary,
and is expected to be of immense advantage
for the purpose of redemption.
