pended the issue OF gold certificates by an
order promulgated April IA. 1893 His au-
tAority for 30 doing was that contained in

Rssunption 81 the Issue.
This question OF resuming the issue Of
gold certificates, which was suspended by
Secretary Carlisle. has been under consid-
GRAFTON by Secretary Gage for several
months. He has given the question his
best thought, and II Is believed has secured
the views OF other leading nnanciers
throughout the country before taking this
step.
The treasury department today made re-
printing for the printing OF 100000 In
gold certificates In denominations OF so
each. II Is to be noted that while gold
coins can be freely had In denominations
Of fves anu tens. the law restricts the is
sue Of gold certificates to denominations Of

MUST PROTECT
TREATY RIGHTS
The United States Demands Assurances
From Russia. France and
Germany.

Chicago, Oct. pa special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The United States has demanded from
the governments of Russia, Germany
and France assurances that in their di-
visions of China into zones or spheres
of influence, the trade rights of citizens
of this country shall be fully respected
These demands are pretty sure to be
acceded to and as soon as the necessary
correspondence can be passed between
Washington and the three European
capitals, it is not doubted that the de-
sired assurances will be given by the
governments named.
In fact tacit understanding to this
effect already exists and little remains
to be done but to decide upon the form
in which the assurances shall be given.
There was some little surprise in dip
lomatic circles when the demands of
this government were presented
through the embassies here, but no
signs of extreme displeasure or of in
tention to resist was manifested in any
quarter.
This move for making sure of trade
statutes in China, for assuring our
selves that our treaty rights would be
respected under the proposed rear
rangement Of actual authority along the
coast of China was entered upon by
the administrat ton in no light or casual
manner, but only after full discussion
and careful consideration of. all the
possibilities Now that there is prac-
tically certainty of successful issue
it is felt that a great stroke has besn
made for American trade and in
fuence

THE American nation appreciates the
devotion and valor of its soldiers and
sailors. Among it's hordes of brave de-
tenders the Twentieth Kansas was
fortunate in opportunity and heroic in
action and has won a permanent place
in the hearts of a grateful people.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
"Sept. 80, 1897
Secretary Root includes in his note
the message of General Macarthur and
Otis recommending that Brigadier
General Funston be brevetted major
general and that Colonel Metcalf be
brevetted brigadier general, and adds:
THE officers and enlisted men of the
regiment exhibited the same high quail
ity of bravery and efficiency which
characterized their commanders.
II beg to join with the people Of
Kansas in welcoming to their homes

heroic origin and patriotic history CT
