WASHINGTON, March 29.-Gen. Spin
ner rendered his resignation to-day, BE-
cause the secretary Of the treasury did not
see fit to confirm his nomination of Col
Frank Jones, who has had charge of the
currency division of the treasury depart
ment, for the place of cashier of the
United States treasury. Gen Spinner has
been very much exercised over Secretary
Bristow's desire to control the whole de-
pdttmSue, duu Has TeSeuCeu very much
any Infringement upon his special domain.
If he cannot be the cock of the walk. he
will go out. 1t is another case like Null
letts Spinner will be expected to be
pursuaded to stay, but it is doubtful
whether his ambitions in this direction
will be satisfied.
Wyman, the Madison boy, lately ap-
pointed assistant treasurer, swells out his
breast tonight. and cheerfully regards
himself as the man of all others to succeed
Spinner. He has been l2 years in the de-
partment. Spinner gives as his reason
for going out that he is getting tired, and
wants rest. He says he has been treas
urer for IA years, and he thinks that is
long enough.
The resignation was sent direct to the
president, and he said, to-day, that he
will accept it. There signation takes effect
on the 1st of July.
They have pleasant way of playing a bluff
game in the treasury department, which
is very amusing, Frank Jones, who was
under Spinner, had habit of handin gin his
resignation to the old man every time he
felt like it, as he was sure it would never
be accepted. Last week he sent in his
resignation, and in some way it got
through Spinner's hands, and is to be
promptly accepted.
