Extra Session and the Silver Bill.

Henry Clews in his financial bulletin of
yesterday says: president Cleveland's notice
to convene Congress in September at the latest.
still earlier if found necessary, is more effec-
tive in tina. form than proclamation under
his signature, because it leaves him in posi-
ton to change the date to the 1st of July or
August if the conditions call for mis- doing SO,
whereas a proclamation if issued would have
bound him down to the date named The
chances now, however, are that Congress may
be called t.gether as early as August l. Init
nations from Washington justify making that
statement. The President in his statement
particularly says mot later than September
IL" which clearly means that he intends to
avail of his privilege to make it an earlier date
if found desirable. His attitude clearly means
that he is now justihed in calling Congress
| together because he is fully assured that the
vote on the Sherman silver law will be posi-
lively in favor Of its repeal. therefore the peo-
pie Of this country as we'll as Europe can COM
mence to discount the fact of the repeal of that
bill, as it will be the first thing that Congress
will do when 1t meets"

UNIFORMED DIPLOMATS.
Ministers Who Have Decorated Themselves
When Presenting Their Credentials.

Ministers Who Have Decorated Themselyes
When Presenting Their Credentials.
When Mr.. Runyon presented his credentials
as minister plenipotentiary to Germany last
week he wore the uniform Of major general of
the national guard of New Jersey. There are
several precedents for this. Col. Winston, who
was appointed minister to Persia by President
Cleveland during his first term, was presented
to the shah in his uniform az an officer of
the volunteer service of the state OF Illinois
Gen. E. Burd Grubb, the minister to
Spain during the last admiristra tion
appeared at the Spanish cour. in the elaborate
uniform of an officer of the CitF Troop of Ptila-
deiphia- And there are other similar cases. SO
that MIR. Runyon does not. by any means, stand
alone in this matter. When Mr.. Curry went to
Spain. in Mr.. Clevelands first term, he ad-
dressed some suggestions to Secretary Bayard
in regard to the wearing Of distinctive uni
form by United States minister. In his re-
ply Mr.. Bavard said:
1t may be questioned whether the repre-
sentative character OF an envoy, the highest
known in the social intercourse Of nations, is
not rather diminished than enhanced by wear
ing. as Is done in some cases under statutory
| authority, the uniform Of past or present mill
tary rank"
Although the practice is recognized and ap-
proved by international law it is not consid-
cred essential. however, and to some Americans
it may seem as curious the picture of James
Buchanan wearing an evening dress and
sword when he was presented to Queen Vic
toria,

Secretary Gresham Incensed by the Prema-
ture Publication.
"There's a scoundrel in the State Department
and propose to find out who he is"
This remark was made by Secretary Gresham
in his Office at the State Department this morn
ing 1t was addressed to a small group Of
newspaper men and was provoked by the Sec
retary's indignation at the premature publica-
tion of the Russian extradition treaty and Of
diplomatic correspondence leading up to the
treaty.
Secretary Gresham suspects that these docu-
ments or copies were abstracted from the
secret archives Of the department and were
sold or given to the newspaper in which they
appeared 1t is said that the Secretary is Of
opinion that access to these secret records OF the
department could have been obtained only
through the connivance of an employe Of
the department. 1t is clear to his mind
that there is leak somewhere, and
he proposes to locate it, il possible
he accordingly gave orders this morning
for thorough Investigation of the matter with
the view to summary action in the case
OF the offender, should it be found that
he is an officer Of the government
Secretary Gresham has said that he
is always willing to make public all the busi-
ness Of the department that can be told with
ters necessarily secret in their charac-
ter which cannot be disclosed without
detriment to our foreign relations.
1t Is therefore considered absolutely essen
tial that they should not pass into the hands
OF employees tainted with the least suspicion of
untrustworthiness. The result OF the present
investigation will be awaited with interest.

Presidential Proclamation Makes 1t Go
Into Effect on the Gath Instant.
As result Of its consideration at Yesterday e
meeting Of the cabinet the President, later in
the day. issued a proclamation promulgating
the text of the Russian extradition treaty and
making it the law of the land This action was
predicted IN yesterdays STAR. According to
its terms the proclamation takes effect on the
oath instant.
1t is claimed in official quarters that, in spite
Of all that has been said about the treaty. 1t is
similar in scope to all the extradition treaties
negotiated by the United States in recent wears,
although in practice it may be that the admin
istration of the articles will have different
result in view Of the essential differences be-
tween the judicial systems of the two coun-
tries, which in this case are supposed to be
more than usually divergent.

FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES,

More Developments as to How the Chinese
Immigrants Have Evaded the Law.
o. H. Simons, U. s. consul at Hong Kong,
China, informed the State Department that he
believes, as the result of investigations made,
that from 500 to 1000 fraudulent ''notarial
certificates" have been distributed to intend
ing Chinese immigrants each month for the past
three or four months" Consul Simons re-
fused to certify two certificates, as the persons
presenting them, while ostensibly having been
in the United States, as their certificates
showed, could not give any account Of the
country and, in fact, declared that "sedan
chairs were the only means Of travelling in
America
Consul Simons states that most Of these
Cinnamon with fraudulent certificates reach
America by steamers that land at Vancouver
British Columbia.
Treasury officials contend that nearly all Chi
namen landed there ultimately reach the United
States. coming over the border at night. In
structions will be sent to all collectors Of Gus

AN UNQUALIFIED DENIAL
OF tho Story That Great Britain Has d.
manded ReparatiOn.

OF tho Story That Great Britain Has De-
manded Reparation.
An unqualified denial is given at the Depart
ment Of State Of the story that the British min
lister has demanded reparation. pecuniary and
by apology, for the arrest Of the mate Of the
British steamer Nigrctia at New Orleans on May
2. 1t is practically admitted that the subject is
a matter Of correspondence and that the British
minister had brought the case to the attention
Of the department. But it would be an almost
unheard-of proceeding in the history of the
diplomatic intercourse between the United
States and Great Britain for summary de-
mand to be made for an apology and reparation
in such case, even after investigation. which
has not been had in the present instance. The
usual course is to submit the case, SO as to
allow full opportunity for investigation. and
leave it to the fair sense of the nation at fault
to make due reparation, and this course will
without doubt be pursued in the case Of the
mate of the Nigretia.

List of the Survivors for . Roll OF
Honor.
The officers Of the Society Of the Army Of the
Cumberland here have been engaged for six
months, and with great success, upon work Of
much interest to veterans. 1t has undertaken to
obtain the names, post Office addresses and occu-
pations of the survivors Of that army. The OBJ
ject is to print roll Of honor. The historian,
Col G. c. Kniffen, has already secured the
addresses of 10000 survivors. When the
work was planned it was not believed that
the number would exceed $4,000. 1t will
probably reach 10000. These figures do
not include those who served in the twenty
third corps with the Army of the Cum
berland. The infantry regiments in the latter
army numbered 242, the cavalry regiments AZ
and the batteries AZ. This is the first work of
the kind undertaken by an army society. The
state OF Vermont has recently begun to collect
a similar roll of all survivors Of her regiments
