TO MEET THE PRESSURE.

The Treasury Department Uil Not Ifesl-
 tate to Do All that the Law Permits to
 Relieve tho Monetary Stringency --Anxie-
 ty Largely Without Foundation.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-General Net tleton, Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury, in response to inquiries on the subject by reporter of the United Press last night, made the following statement: The Treasury Depart- ment to-day, in addition to it's regular disbursements, which arc unusually heavy, paid out S2, 34S, 0s4 on account of bond purchases and advance interest as follows: Interest prepaid si, 063, os4; re- demption of four-and-ono-half DOT cont bonds s535 050; purchase of four-per- cents ST50, 600.
 '''rhe four-per-cents purchased yes terday were accepted at 125. This is the first considerable purchase of four per-cents for some time, and the price paid is ono per cont above that hereto fore paid under the circular of July 10. It is thought there may be an impress sion among holders of four-percent. bonds that tho Government has with drawn from the market for four-per- cents. This is not the fact. as the Treasury is ready to take considera- ble amount of fourS if they are to bo had.
 'sThe inquiry instituted yesterday by tho Secretary of the Treasury develops the fact that the total balance of duties due on all imported merchandise in bond at the port of New York on Sep temher 1 was only Sl7,500, 900, Only a moderate portion of these goods will be subject to increased duty under tho schedule in the new Tariff bill. These facts would seem to indicate that anxiety based on this feature of the situation has been largely without foundation.
 "As to further measures of relief, in so far as the existing stringency can reasonable be said to be duo to the in- eyitable operations of existing laws governing the collection and disburse- mont of tho Government revenues, the Treasury Department will not hesitate to apply such effective remedies as the law permits and the situation requires. The Secretary of the Treasury on his return to Washington from New En- gland will be in New York tomorrow, and will adopt such a course as shall soem to him timely and calculated to meet the difficulty as it exists"
 It is said that one of the minor meas uses of relief for the market that may be adopted by tho Treasury will be tho payment in advance Of a years interest on the sixty-fiye million dollars of Government bonds known as currency sixes.
 If the Republican managers are con yinced that there is any danger of . panic in case goods imported since Au- if taken out of bonded warehouses be- fore October l. they may consent to postpone tho date another month.

THE RACE QUESTION.

President INGALLS, of the Chesa-
peake aud Ohio railroad, thinks that
the wonderful industrial development
that is taking place in Virginia will
settle the race question in this State,
at least. He says with good deal of
Truth
Il have seen in the last year glim-
mer of light that is growing stronger
and which | believe in the next three
years will solve this question. The
relief is coming from the boomer. y
With the mines that are being opened
in the State, with the mills that are
being erected, with the villages that
are being built up, with the immigra-
ton that is pouring in here from the
North and West, the proportion OF
the colored vote will decrease and it
will become relatively so small shortly
that it will no longer be menace to
the prosperity and good government

HARRISON AND HAYES.

The news comes from the White
House that PRESIDENT HARRISON
has decided that under no conSidera-
ton will he allow himself to be can
didate for denomination and that at the
expiration of his term of office in March,
1898, he will retire to private life in
indianapolis.
If the statement is true, it is perhaps
well that the president has reached
such a philosophical conclusion. He
would have no chance whatever in the
race if he were to enter and he will
pair exceedingly well with HAYES.
