WERE MADE In CANADA.
Progress Made in Running Down
Counterfeiters of 800 Bills.
Belief That the Work Was Done
Across the Line-Expert Engrav-
ers of Both Countries Are
Being Watched.

There is strong reason to believe the
counterfeit $500 silver certificates re-
Gently discovered were made in Can
ada. Secret service agents, aided by
Canadian police, are now searching
through that region, their efforts being
principally directed to the province Of
Quebec, says the Washington corre-
spondent of the Herald.
Extraordinary pains are being taken
to trace all paper of the kind on which
Canadian notes are being printed, with
the idea that it may have been from
this source that the paper used by the
counterfeiters was obtained. Great
care is taken in Canada, as here, to pre-
vent any of this paper being obtained
by outside persons, but it is understood
that defects have been discovered in the
Canadian offices whereby the paper
might have been stolen. At the bureau
of engraving here every sheet of paper
is numbered and must be rigidly ac-
counted for.
Nothing will be given out by the
secret service bureau of the treasury
department, but it is known that the
expenses of the investigation now be-
ing made in Canada are large and that
more money is needed. On this account
Secretary Gage sent letter to the
house committee on appropriations ask
ing that the appropriation for the de-
lection of counterfeits be increased
from $4,000 to 100000. He gave as his
reason the great expense of the $10O
certificate work and added that it
would be necessary to carry the search
into foreign country. He asked that
$4,000 of the amount granted be made
available Immediately.
He also said there are ordinarily two
secret service agents in the country
west of the tenth meridian which runs
| through Indiana and Alabama and that
none Of the IS employed east of that
line can be spared for western work
for any length of time.
| If the secret service clew proves ac-
curate the scope of the investigation be-
comes much wider. 1t is obvious that
counterfeit United States notes made
abroad and brought to this country
only for circulation expose the Grim
inals to far less danger of detection. 1t
increases the possibility already dis
cussed that British engravers did the
work and vastly enlarges the number
of men who have to be shadowed.
1t is understood that every engraver
who has been employed in government
offices both here and in Canada and who
is known to be of sufficient ability to
have done the work, is now under con-
slant surveillance.
1 1t is believed another counterfeit will
soon follow the first unless the Grim
inals are run down and arrested.
About 100000 of $26 100000 of 500
certificates originally outstanding have
been turned into the treasury for re-
demption and 10 counterfeits have been

of Her Nusllnud,s EAfnte.


Mrs. NJ. A. Cheek, sister of Rev. Daniel
F. Bradley, % Grand Rapids, Mich, is
suing the king of Siam to recover $751;
600 damages for the seizure of the es-
tate of her husband by the Siamese gov
ernment eight years ago. Mr.. Cheek
was at that time government con-
tractor. He was an extensive land own
er, holding valuable timber grants, and
employed several hundred natives and
200 elephants in his lumber plant. He
also owned and operated several YES
sells, and was considered an influential
resident of the community. In some
way he incurred the displeasure of the
king. who, it is said. at the first oppor-
tunity. confscated the entire estate Of
the contractor, alleging failure of full
fillment of contract with the govern
ment. Mr.. Cheek died of broken
heart. The claim Is being pushed be-
fore board Of arbitrators at Bangkok

In explanation of the position as
sumed by our state department. in the
negotiations with the japanese govern
ment relative to the status of japanese
citizens in Hawaii in case of the annex
alton of the islands by the United
States, it may be stated on the author
ity of the officials charged with the
conduct of tine negotiations that in
their view, if new legislation is not had,
tie natives of Japan resident in any
part of the territory of the United
States unless expressly excepted by
law or treaty, Will have the right ofcit-
liens of the most favored nation after
July, 1890, upon the taking effect Of
the treaty with Japan, negotiated by
the last administration and promul.
gated March 81, 1895.
The department officials believe that
japanese now in the United States are
entitled to naturalization provided
they comply with the terms Of the ex-
listing laws, and that they are also en-
titled to free entry to our shores, the
only prohibition upon Asatic immigra-
ton being laid upon Chinese.
In addition, the new treaty with
Japan specifically, in articles one and
two, confers upon japanese in the
United States full right of free entry
and travel, and all of the rights enjoyed
by people of any other nationality in
defense of their rights and in all mat
ters connected with the administration
of justice.
