closing house resolution No. j. IN which
[ am requested to render a written opln
ion as to the validity of Section 42l3 of the
Revised Statutes OF Wyoming, which pro

OF the territory, and which is known as
the stock indemnity tax fund; and also as
TO whether a special tax upon the live
stock of the territory levied for the pur
pose OF the live stock commission, and for
the protection of the live stock industry
would he legal and binding.
AFTER a careful examination OF said
section and its object, as well as the law
bearing upon the same, which you will
find in section 1925 of the Revised Sta
tutes of the United States, | am clearly
of the opinion that section 42l3 of the
Revised Statutes of Wyoming is plainly
in conflict with the law of congress. and
is therefore invalid. Section 1925 OF the

WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-Acting Sec
retary of the Treasury, Batchellor,
Yesterday sent to the Senate the fol-
lowing reply to Senator Plumb's reso-
| luton of inquiry about the Department.
method of purchasing and paying for
silver bullion:
There is no rule or policy of this
Department which requires that checks
lrawn in payment of silver bullion
purchased under the recent act of Con-
gress be paid over the counter OF the
sub-treasury at New York. AS mat
ter of fact these checks pass through
the New York clearinghouse the Same
as other checks drawn on the Assistant
Treasurer at New York. In regard
to the issue of Treasury notes Oh
large denominations in payment
for silver purchased, L have the
honor to state that 1t was
found impracticable to engrave ana
print in the period of thirty days-the
time allowed between the passage OF
the act of Jaly IA, 1890, authorizing the
issue of these notes and the date the
purchases of silver were to com mence-
a sufficient supply of these notes to
comply with that law except in denom-
nations of $1,000 and 500. In the
course of few days, however, certainly
by the first of next week, the supply OF
Treasury notes of small denominations
will be sufficient to enable the Depart
ment to make payments for silver pur-
chased in all denominations of smaller
ones. When the supply of small notes
will permit, tho notes Of large denoml-
nations already issued will be changed
at the Treasury and its branches for
notes of small denominations, and as
fast as such notes of large denomlna-
ton are received in the Treasury, notes
of smaller denominations Will be PAID
out in their stead as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
In order to prevent any scarcity OF
notes of small denominations by reason

that the amount of treasury notes paid

amount $685., 600 have been received

ing the sum of 81, 223, 400 still in circula-

there has been no demand of any magni-
tude upon the Treasury for the redemp-
ton of these notes in gold coin"
