The law under which Secretary Car
isle may cease to give out gold certif-
Gates was passed in 1882. 1t provided
that whenever gold coin in q sum of not
less than $50 should be presented at the
United States treasury the presenter
should receive in return therefor treas
ury notes of a denomination not less
than $50, certifying that on demand the
treasury would again pay out the gold
coin. Thesegold certificates, interchange
able with the gold, have circulated in
stead Of it, thus preventing the wear
and tear Of the coin. The same law of
1882 provides, however, that when the
gold reserve in the United States treas
ury shall fall below 800, 600, 900 the sec
rotary shall cease paying out the gold
certificates in exchange for gold coin.
This provision of the act prevents specu-
lators from draining the treasury of its
gold and holding it for their own pur-
poses.

The rumored sale of the Bellingham
Bay & British Columbia road to the
Canadian Pacific company was the
most important topic of discussion on
the Bay yesterday, the consensus of
opinion being that the rumor was based
ON a solid foundation, a number of
straws pointing in that direction. De-
spite the contradiction Of Superintend-
ent Stangroom to a Post.Intelligeneer
reporter, the conviction is held by a
number of those who profess to "know
what they are talking about" that if
the sale Is not already made, it will be
before the month is out. There is at
least no doubt as to the fact that the
Canadian Pacific is being pushed to ag-
gressive measures by some agency, pos
sibly the unwillingness of the Great
Northern to grant certain concessions
which the Canadian Pacific has asked,
but more probably by the increasing
traffic which has been realized this sea-
son and which promises to assume very
satisfactory proportions. There Is a
large grain Of comfort in the belief that
the Great Northern refuses to make
concessions to another road at this
point, arising from the conviction that
Ii wants all the traffic itseifand intends
taking steps towards securing it. AT
any rate, the transaction is generally
conceded as being of great Importance
to the interests of the Bay.
