' Unfair Discrimination Ignlnnt Silver Certificates , Special telegram to tbo BEE. WASIIINQTON , January 26. The national banks of Boston and other cltloo outside of New York at which the United SUtoa assis tant treasures arc located have complained to Treasurer Wyman because they ara required by the assistant treasurer to accept a certain portion of the balances duo them in the clear ing houto settlements In silver certiGcatcs. These banks claim that while such certificates are paid to thorn , the , Nov York banks are not paid any portion of their balances In sil vcr certificates by the atsistant treasurer at Now York City , and that they are not tender ed Now York banks , bicauae of tint opreo- mcnt on th ir part , not to accept th ? < o certifi cates. Thii is he'd by outside banks to ba cot oalyanunfa'r discrimination against silver certllicates but an equally unfair discilminn- tion tgaintt them , which resulti in loss _ nnd inconvvnlonjc1 , as they are at timis compelled _ to sell the silver certificates at a discount in order to obtain .funds that will bo accepted by the Now York banks in settling debt or balance with thn latter. The treasurer therefore requested the direct as sistant treasurer ? at Now York Cb pay tbo banks in that city tha snmo terms of money and in lik * proportions that are paid thd hanks by assistant treasurers In other cities. Treasurer Wyman referred the 'matter to Secretary McUullough with a long letter in which ha recommends that after a certain d te , of which notlco ah all bo jlvcn , at least twenty-five per contof the payments made by the assistant treasurer at Now York to the clearing house association of that city in sot- tlemontof balances shall bo silver certificates or silver dollars if tha certificates are refused. Silver certificates ate not legal tenders , as manypeople , suppose , and pay ments tendered in such certificates may bo re fuiod , but silver dollars are a legal tsnder to any amount , nnd the refusal to accept them by b nks or other parties may bo met in tha payment with silver coin nnleo tin coinage of silver is limited or su'pcnded. ' The day is not distant when the treasury will bo com pelled to use silver in making paymenti.in order to protect the gold fund. FKErU FIGHT AT A 1'AKTY.

There was a livo.y scene In tha gentlemen's dressing- room of Stewart Castle last night upon the occasion of Mrs. Stewart throwing open her house for a general reception to the official and fashionable society of Washington. A sonof Congressman Holman struck Senor Don Carlos do Castro , secretary of the Venezuelan legation , In the mouth and knocked him down. Friends of both parties interfered to pravent a general fight , and in the strufrplo several blows were exchanged between other excited young m n. Young Holman was Rotten out oC the bousoand theriw huihed up without becoming generally known. It appears that a number of the young men patronized the punch-bowl too freely and were in a very excitable condition at the time of young Holman'n assault , and so rather added to the excitement instead of quelling it when the attack began. The cause of the assault byydUDR _ Holman was his attempt to resent on impertinence addressed to a young Udy frlnnd of his whowajat the Stewart bill The guilty man was an attache of one of the South American legations. Holman was so fuiious in bis desire to avenge tha affront that he rushed oil with an impcifect description of the guilty dip'omatio fledgeling. Ho thought Uo Cwtro was the man , though , as it sutso- quontly turned out , it was shown that Do Cistso was not In any way to blame , and did not even so much as know the young lady. Ho waa simply mistaken for another , ind be fore any explanations could bo made bo was knocked on' by the infuriated Hoosier. Young Helm n was caught by Charley Poore , of Syracuse , N. Y. , son of Admiral Poore. and remonetated with , and Holman turned instantly upon him with throat * . Then a burly California friend Interfered and tn'd that Mrs. Stewart'a house should not be made tha scanq of a disgraceful row. liythis time the dressing-room wai crowded Before young llulman could ba padded several t'lowd were passed between members of the hot h'nded crowd. A young society man by tbo nama of Gulhon wa ? knocked out , but the burly California ! ! , a stranger , co'n pi yed po liceman so effectually nj to put an end to the row. row.It is said that yonng Holman only regrets thttho struck tha wrong man. and has apolo gized to De Castro. Tim latter has dec ined any apology and will demand porsoM fatii- faction. Meanwhile youug Holman U looking for tha real olltnder , and at the same time It not unwilling to tight a duel If necessary The incident ts one of the greatest social sen sations of thu season. Tlio Antl-Uynnmlto BUI. Special telegram to tha BEE. CHICAGO , January 23. Times Wathiogtoi special : The coincidence of tie introductioi of an anti-dynamite bill by Senator Edmund with the explosions in London excited semi comment. Mr , Edmunds thought the cxplo- slons weru the immediats occasion of his In , Iroduction of the bill , which he said was draft ed by a friend. The bill wai drawn on atat - department paper , and was undoubtedly pre pared by the department and held till an op portune time for I'a introduo ion nroic. I would ba just ts well for tbe English nowspn pera which are demindlng that the Amerioai government shall prevent plotting * , the eic cutlon of which the English governmen U unable _ to prevent , and > fo oma Americans nlio to remeinbo that when the consequences nf Orslnl's at tempts on the life of Louis th U.ll < , l. cabinet introduced _ I.II Napoleou , A. - , * Kngllfb a bill to puma n- conspiracies In England against foreign paten t.itee. The propoiltion tbat thi Britfh par llQ llament thould "legislate for the bei/ctitof Of foreign government aroused such an outbrea ha of jxmular anger that the administration wa , lv dnveu from power. Tint which the Englii rd would not allow to ba don [ - Jor Fr.nce they are extremely anxioc r- to have us do for them. Several members c re- rebn corif reis said td-day that while the passage i Borne such bill as that nf Senator Edmund ng wsuld prove our fnendihlp for England , an would do nothing elw. If tie KnglUh custoi lly o Ih : era could not prevent the importation < of dynamite , the United Statej cou'd certain ! la- not prsvcnt its exportation , Considering tl uew foreign policy which U now beliig etrongl / ' prewed m tbe enate , it in not unlikely tlii the senators will be quite willing t& off England comethiog like the Edmunds bill i a bid f r her support.
