cerning the charges against Supervisor Bloom

vate letter telegraphed from Washington to

Lodging that he wrote similar letter some time

now fully exonerates.
He says: -'When that letter was written

gentlemen. have since found that did not
rightly understand the matter at all, and wrote
not long since letter to the President express

Mr.. Grant very frankly apologies to Bloom
field and Julsen, who are regarded here by Re-

gratified that the Presidents retention of these

a question by the reporter that the President
would be much annoyed over the publication of
the letter. Mr.. Grant said, 'Yes, of

THE disbursement of currency by the Sub

Among the Government dealers the rate was SIX
