WASHINGTON, Sept 25. - President
Grant and family arrived here this evening
and Immediately proceeded to the Execu-
tive Mansion. About s O'Clock Secretary
Richardson called and for more than an
hour he and the President talked over the
financial situation. They came to the con
clusion that all the relief necessary TO be
afforded had been offered by the Treasury
for the legitimate business of the country
Consequently the Treasury will pay out no
more currency than may be required in its
ordinary disbursements-that Is. it will
buy no more bonds at present, nor any
sterling exchange. This information comes
from official sources. The President and
the Secretary of the Treasury are satisfied
that they have done all in their power
legitimately TO relieve the financial distress
| by the use Of money accumulated in the
| treasury in the purchase of bonds. Not
one dollar of the $44, 600, 900 reserve has
been drawn or used by the Secretary, al
though he repeats that he will use it to a
very limited extent if it should become
| necessary to do so-not for the purpose OF
Initiating the currency, but to pay ordinary
expenses, with the intention of restoring
| the amount as soon as circumstances viii
allow. The decision of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury disposes of the
report that the payment of the November
interest and redemption of January bonds
would be anticipated. There is no sucf
| intention.
