Treasury officials.

| WAsErsGrox, April ss Though ths
suthosi,ies ef the treasury depxrtmeaf. and
Chief Meredith, Of the bafesu Of Epgfav.
ing and printing. refuse to talk oa she sub
Jet, they are . good deal worried over
the alnnss perfecs % counterfeit Treasury
note which has recently appeared. and
which has been reported in circulation in
various paris of the couatry. Experts and
some days making . careful Investigation,
but il they have discovered ANYTHING i'm
poftant the nature Of it is kept profound
secret. The paper On which the counter
felt is printed is sppren'ly the same IS that
OF the genuine note. and hint has been
| thrown Gus that the printing is from 8 east
or duplicate Of the genuine plate. An ex-
pert, who has examined the alleged coun-
ferfeit uadsr strong glass and who is
thoroughly familiar Si.a the methods Of
preparing the dies. PLACES and process OF
transferring. says thst the alleged counter
felt is what is known in the profession"
As counterfeit, bu. is in fact reproduc-
lion from s. genuine plate. He says that il
is just such Al impression IS might baslnsde
from plate made by the process Of get
ting al impression from the genuine on
lead or other soft metallic surface and then
transferring il TO hard metsi.
This. he says, was probably the case, and
that II is impossible that SO perfect a plate
could be made in any other way. If this
theory be correct, the impression must have
been made 10 the bureau OF engraving and
printing, and how this could be dobe where
there is supposed to be such perfect
system Of keeping the mother die and the
plates under lock snd key and always
accounted for, is mystery. In
speskirg of the counterfeit bill, Cap
tain Meredith said that the buresu
had never. admitted. a. hss been published,
that the engraving of the couIteffeit was
equal to the genuine note. Mr.. Cssilesr.
the chief engrsver, who WAS present, said
it was mistake for the newspapers to
point out the defects in counterfeit bills,
as it gives the opportunity to correct these
mistakes On the plate and the second
edition of counterfeits would be decided
improvement over the first.
