| UHIMPORTANT.
Minister West was asked this afternoon il
there was any foundation for the statement
that the recent violent utterances proiessed
to have been made by American citizens
concerning the dynamite explosion in Lon
don, may disturb the amlCable relations
between Great Britain and the United
States. lie refused to talk officially, but
during the conversation said you can
state the relations between the two Coun.
tries were never mort cordial and II better
understanding never existed, | don't see
the slightest reason to apprehond that their
relations may be impaired"
Secretary Frelinghuysen would say moth.
| ing whatever upon the subject Assistant
any communication received from the
British government on the subject il would
not be u proper matter to discuss with the
public. tits no doubt very annoying to the
| English government and people to feel that
| men are harbOred in another country, and
to some extent encouraged, in their SYM
| pathies with my indirect aid to Assassins
and dynamite plotters, who are giving
them 80 much trouble, but this govern
meut can deal only with laCts and acts an
der the laws as they stand upon our statute
books, Much more Importance is attached
in other countries To the sensational reports
and rumors published in our PAPERS than
We give them here. They do not under.
stand the liberty of the press us it exists
here.
GOLD CERTIFICATES,
| The acting secretary of the treasury has
received communication from the officers
OF several banks in Chicago asking that
| gold certificates be issued by the assistant
United States treasurer OF that city and be
made to bear some mark OF identification;
that the gold received therefor
be held to redeem such certificates and no
Others, and that the assistant treasurer in
Chicago be supplied with II reasonable
amount OF both large and small certificates,
and that the different denominations be
made interchangeable. The acting secre
tary replied; at is not deemed expedient
to place distinctive marks on current series
OF gold certificates for the purpose of iden-
tiiying them as an issue of the Chicago
| Office, and that such mark would in his
opinion lead to complications and tend to
discredit these certificates in other cities
where III the ordinary course of circulation
they might 60" The department, he saws,
is not Mt present prepared to authorize the
issue of distinctive issues for Chicago alone
since that would involve the question of
separate and distinctive series for each
sub-trcasury. If, however, the bankers
OF Chicago, wish to exchange one denomina-
tton OF certificates for another and will so
inform him, the debt in view of the exist.
ing circumstances. will cause the Chicago
office to be supplied with gold certificates
OF smaller denominations, and authorize
the desired exchange.
