ALL $500 BILLS CALLED In
DISCOVERY OF FCOUNTERFEI1S COM
PELS THEIR RETIREMENT.

Telegram Sent Out From Washington to
All Assistant Treasurers of the Govern
ment Warning Officials to be Cautious In
Receiving Notes of the Above Denomina-
tion-Trouble in Boston.
Washington, Jan. 4.-United States
Treasurer Roberts to-day sent the fol-
lowing telegram to all assistant treas
urers: Discovery of dangerous coun-
terfeits compels retirement of all $lO0
silver certificates. Forward all such
notes to this office for destruction. Be
cautious in receiving this denomina-
tion." Another counterfeit was to-day
discovered in a package received from
Chicago. SO far as known the only
cities in which they have appeared are
Chicago, st. Lotis and Philadelphia
Boston, Mass, Jan. 4.-As result OF
the notice sent out from Washington
that number of $1O0 certificates We're
in circulation business men experienced
much trouble on account of the reluc-
tance Of the banks to accept bills of
this denomination. The banks unload
ed these bills with generous hands.
Bills of this denomination are usually
very popular at the customs house be-
cause of the ease with which they can
be counted In the payment of large ac-
counts. 1t was at that place the gov
aryly
rockingham, the cashier, tried to get
banks to stamp these bills as they gave
them out, but the bank officials re-
fused on the ground that they were
not dealing directly with the govern
ment. Mr.. rockingham was therefore
obliged to apply the rule to individuals
and would not take the money unless
it bore the stamp of the person pre-
senting it. At the sub treasury the rule
was applied to banks as well as to in
dividuals. A bank which received $780,
600 of this denomination only few
days ago wanted to exchange it, but
the treasurer, O'Neil, would not accept
| unless each of the bills was stamped
There are s26, 900 of 800 silver cer-
| tfficates in circulation and 1t is esti-
| mated there are 81 100000 of this de-
| nomination In Boston
| Philadelphia, Jan. 4.--There was dis
covered in one of the large banks an
| other S100 counterfeit silver certificate
| making six of these worthless bills
| which have been found in this city.
| The latest discovery has created quite
a sensation among banking officials
| here and there has been an industrious
search in financial circles to bring to
light all of the real and spurious notes.
| Chief Hazen OF the United States secret
service bureau Is in the city in confer
ence with Superintendent McManus of
| the Philadelphia bureau. Neither would
consent to be interviewed concerning
| the counterfeiting.

could reach II. and could mass $50. 900
troops In and about II within two
months. But then would begin the 100
mile march through Afghanistan over
high mountains. which would occupy
approximately three months. An i'm
mense amount Of stores and ammunl-
ton must be carried with the army and
large cannon could not be taken at all.
Moreover. the line Of march must be
protected. and the army in consequence
diminished. and. In short. Russia could
not reach the borders OF India with
more than two-thirds OF her original
army. To oppose this army the Brit
ish could bring mp a nearly equal num-
Der Of Indian troops and still leave $780,
900 for the maintenance Of British SUI

feet. carrying $4,000 troops. could
twice make the journey 90 India and
back before the Russians could reach
the border. Besides all this they could
be drilling the warlike tribes Of India
and thus increasing their forces. Then
too, they would have several lines OF
defense. even after the Indian border
had been crossed. and the Russians
would be fighting far from their base

there are various eyentuallties that
must be taken into consideration. a.
for instance, France and Russia might
