Russta is quite ready to continue negotiations direct, and hopes Lord Balisbury will abandon his purcly negative criticlsm, but it s not known how Enclund intends toact.

Dispatch to New York Times, WasninaTox, April 25.—There are 8 number of statements In the McLin conféssion which are s0 manifestly untruc as to be worlhy of particu- lar attention. Chicf among thess is that part of thic statemient in which Mr. McLin says: *1 was showh nnmerous telegrans addressed to Qor, Stearus und others from the trusted leaders of the Republtcau party in the North, Insisting that the salvatiou of the country depended upun the vote of Florida belng cast for Hayes. Those tolegrama came from those to whom I havebeen accustomed to dofer—the Clialrmon of the Na- tionn! Committes, anu the man who was tho nearest personal fricnd of Mr. Haycs snd who had conducted the canvara. These telegrams alsv yave assurauce of the fortheuming of moncy and. troops, If neceseary, in securing a victors for Mr. Huyes' The fuct is that Gov, Htearns recetved no “telegrams of the character {udicuted from Mr. Zacha Ctandler, the Chairman of the Republiean National Commit- tee, or fron any other on. Nearly every cuminuuication, certalnly every fnportsiit com- munication, which camo from Northern political inana; to Florida, was addressed to William E.

It wiil also be noticed, by reference to Me- Liu’s confession, that he states thot ** In Jeffer. sou County, in & certutu precinee ut which Mr, J, Bell was Inspector, 100 votes wer surrepti- tiously added to the ballots and counted. No charge was wado us to this fact before the Buard. 'The confessiou of J.

Haviog an inkliug of the truth of the matter, Mr, Bell, sccording to his own accouuts, at oncs proceded to fnvestigate he charges relutive to the chauge of 100 votes, aud discovered to lls own satlsface tion that that no change had been mads and no frauds committed at the poll {n question. fa wrool of this atatement, he sllezes what your correspoudent knows to be a fuct, that Dr. Bell- Inger, the Democratic United Btates Supervisor at the poll in question, stated that nedid not know of nn{_tmmh huviug been conunitted at that poll. Further than this, Mr. Hell stutes that he as Clerk, Dr. Bellinger as Supervisor, and threo Inspectors,—tive -persons o all,— checked off the name of each voler as he ap- puared to vast his ballot, and that at the close of the poll (t was discovered that all thelr counta tallied ex::-l:ly'.b 44 and that the number of uauics checkes them was the same as the number ‘of ballots contalued in the box.

THE NEW DOLLAR. WIY IT 11AS NOT GOT INTO CIRCULATION. Speciat Dispatch 1o The Tridune. WasninaToy, D. C., April 27.—The attention of the Treasury ofiiclals having been calied to the fact that the silver dollar has gained no cir- culation except as pocket-picces, a leading Treas- ury officer to-day made the following explana- tion: It has not been possible for the Treasury until now to commence to pay ont slver in con- siderable quantities for the simple reason that there werc not cnough silver doliars colned to hegin to uea them 1 o gencral way, 1t wasnot practicable to commence with less than $3,000,- 000, and {tIs only now that the Tressury has that amount In its posscesion. The Secretaryot the Treasury has to-day decided that silver shall be pald out for currency obligationsto the extent that the Government is required to destroy. notes under the 80 per cent retirement pro- viion of the Natlonal Baok act. 'This sum VARIES EACH MONTH. This month the amount will be about § 000. The Sceretary has ordered that this amount shall be replaced by silver doliars, to be pald out In the current course of busincss, Tuis will be donc through the various Sub- Treasurles. This 1a the heginaing of the pay- mentd of sllver on currency obligations, and it may be that the Eccretary will devise other 177% tnesus for paying out sllver.
