Secretary Hunt is to make an inspection Of
the navy yards and Lincoln takes his wife to
Rye Beach, where his children have been all

that all the cabinet except MacVeagh will re-
main until the meeting of congress in Decem-
ber. The statement telegraphed from Utica
that j. G. Reed, private secretary of the pres
ident, accompanied Senator Jones on visit to
Conkling is untrue, Reed is here.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS.
WAsHINGT0N,' Sept. 29.-Checks were pre-
pared at the treasury yesterday for $7l6, 6,G05,
and for $S4, ,OOO,214 to-day, for the redemption
of bonds included in previous calls and which
have only just been presented at the treasury
for redemption. There are IN all above $21,-
100000 of bonds still outstanding, but which
have been called in and on which interest has
ceased Some of these bonds should be pres
ented for redemption eleven years ago.
Provision has been made for the redemption
of all of them whenever presented at the treas
ury, but Judging from the lapse of time since
interest has been paid on some of them there
are many bonds outstanding which the treas
ury will never be called on to redeem. 1t is
estimated $6,000,000 of extended 6s, included
in the recent call for $20,0O0,O0O are held by
national banks to secure their circulation. AS
interest on these bonds will cease December
"a, the banks must on or before that date
replace them with other bonds, or
| reduce their circulation. No intlmation has
yet been received at the treasury department
that any bank contemplates reduction of cir
culatiOn.
