Mr.. Baker claims thar the act OF 1879
establishing the gold dollar OF 23.29 grains
OF pure gold as the standard Of value Is
the only valid act In existence making
coined money a full legal tender and that
all contracts since entered into payable

BoERs CAUSE CHAGRIN
By Their Refusal to Let Britain He
Represented

New York, January "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The state
department has no information Initiating
that Consul Hollis at Pretoria is receiving
from the Boer government any more recog-
milton as representative of British inter-
ests than was vouchsafsd to Consul Mac
rum before he abandoned his post. No
dispatches on the subject have been re-
ceived from him nor has the British gov
eminent made formal complaint that it is
not receiving the intelligence 1t desired
from MIR. Hollis regarding the names and
condition OF prisoners confined at Pre-
torla. but in the absence OF definite kuuwl~
edge the state department officials are dis
posed to believe that President Kruger
does not intend to permit the United
States consul to represent any other in
terests than those of a strictly American
commercial character.
That the treatment accorded to the ef-
forts of the United States representative,
who is presumed to be strictly neutral,
causes chagrin to this administration Is
undenable.
