MANNING RETRENCHING.

Forty Positions Under the Treasury
Department Stricken from the Rolls.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The first de-
cided action of Secretary Manning in re-
gard to changes in the force under the
Treasury Department was announced
this morning. 1t consists of a material
reduction of the force in the special
agents division, whereby it is expected
that saving of $4,000 annually will be
effected. The services of 80 persons in all
have been dispensed with and notices
to that effect were mailed to them
to-day. The list includes six special
agents, "a special inspectors of customs
and eight employees whose names are
borne on the so-called ''fraud roll" This
action reduces the number of agents to
%, the number of inspectors to 27, and
the fraud roll employees to II. 1t is stated
at the department that these changes are
made solely in the interests of econ
omy, and that no new ap-
pointments will be made to
fill the vacancies created. Secretary
Manning has also decided that hereafter
the appropriation for the prevention and
detection of frauds upon the customs
revenue shall not be used for the purpose
of making permanent appointments, but
shall be confined strictly to paying for
information received concerning the
revenue frauds, and to enable the depart
ment to employ persons in special cases
where it is believed that frauds are being
perpetrated. Secretary Manning refuses
TO divulge this afternoon the names of
the persons dismissed, but may possibly
do so tomorrow. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Special Agents G. Il. Gray,
John O'Neal and w. r. Bates are among
the number

next Tuesday, March II, from to IL
O'Clock, at which time the following
named bodies will be received: The
members of the diplomatic corps and the
ladies of their families, the Judges of the
Supreme Court of the United States and
of other United States Courts and the
ladies OF their families. Senators and
Representatives of the FOrty-eighth and
of the FOFty-ninth Congresses and the
ladies of their families, officers of the
army, navy and of the marine corps and
the ladies of their families. This recep-
tion will be limited to the official bodies
named. The President has not yet de-
cided upon the date tor an evening re-
ception 10 the public.
HIS HOME LIFE.
Four or five hours sleep and three light
and entirely plain meals day fill out the
programme requisite with the President
for good health and buoyant spirits. and
in pursuing the course he has begun in
Washington he will be following his nat
ural bent. He will miss the walk to and
from the capitol six times day, to which
he was accustomed at Albany, and he
may miss it so greatly as to make a new
departure here. In former times, before
Lincoln was President, the Chief Magis-
trate had the entire White House to him
self and his household, and his work and
that of his Secretary were performed in
rooms set apart for the purpose in the
capitol. President Cleveland may re-
turn to that practice, not only
because it will afford him exercise, and,
more important still, enable him to use
the White House as a resting place and
retreat, but also because under the pres
ent arrangement there is not sufficient
room for an ordinary household there.
When President Arthur desired to enter
tain friends, he was obliged to send them
to motel at night; and it is understood,
and is probably true, that not all the SER
wants could be accommodated under the
White House now. In Mr.. Lincoln's time
the great apartments in which callers
were ushered and the smaller one now
used by the private secretary were taken
from the household either to free the
President from daily and frequent expos
ure to hostile persons in the streets or for
some reason that is probably non-existent
now.

The Leading Fenians at Paris Con-
Quoted Across the Border.
PARIS, March 13.-An immense sensa-
ton has been caused in this city by the
stand which the authorities have taken
toward the Fenian agitators. In addition
TO the arrests of James Stephens, Eugene
Davis and John Morrissey, which were
made yesterday afternoon, the police this
morning arrested a journalist named
Mortimer Leroy and another Fenian whose
name has not been learned. Mrs.
Stephens was also arrested, but was SUBJ
sequently released. The arrests already
made are apparently only the
beginning of what is contemplated
on the part of the authorities. Warrants
for the expulsion of other Fenian leaders
have been issued and further arrests are
expected. Stephens, Davis and Le-
roy were taken to the frontier of
France to-day and warned not to return.
Stephens begged permission to be allowed
to proceed to Havre so that he might take
a steamer there for America, but the au-
thorities refused to grant his request.
Davis and Morrissey, who were confined
at the prefecture, were subjected to an
examination this morning. 1t is reported
that the police have made an important
discovery.
Stephens, Davis and Leroy and two
Anarchists were expelled into Belgium.
IL Is now learned that Morrissey has not
been expelled as was first reported, but has
been allowed to remain in Paris.
STEPHENS DEFENDED.

protests against the arrest of Stephens.
who, together with Davis and Leroy, was
expelled from France to-day, and declares
that this action indicates that Prime
Minister Ferry Is ready to outrage the
liberties of refugees who have sought an
asylum in France, q thing which the
Ministers Of the Empire would never have
dreamed of doing. L'IntransiqeGRt says
stephens has resided in Paris since
1858, the Empire allowing him to
live in peace despite the fact that the
English Government demanded his extra
dition. He belonged neither to the Invin-
clbles nor to the dynamiters, but fought
against both by his pen and speech. He
lived outside the arena of militant politics
IN absolute quiet and was absorbed in
literary work. Now in his old age, and
when in feeble health, he is treated as
criminal consplrator. His wife was not
allowed to have an interview with him
after his arrest.''

WASHINGTON, March 13.-In the Sem
ate to-day Mr.. Salisbury said that his at
tention had been called to the fact that in
voting in the Bell case it appeared by the
journal of the Senate that he had voted
for the admission of Mr.. Bell, and he was
placed therefore in a position of incon-
sistencY in voting against the seating of
Mr.. Blair. The journal was incorrect.
He was paired against Mr.. Bell. He had
made report against his admission from
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions and he had made a speech against
his admission.
Mr.. ingalls, offered resolution calling
upon the President for information in re-
gard to the occupation of Oklahoma, and
what action was being taken in that re-
gard. Under objection from Mr.. Cockrell
it went over till tomorrow.
Upon motion of Mr.. Edmunds the Sem
ate, at 1926 O'Clock, went into executive
session and ten minutes later adjourned
until Monday.

WESTERN UNIONS BIG JOB.
S17,276 Words of Press Matter and 81
01O Messages in Inauguration Week.

S17,276 Words of Press Matter and 81
91O Messages in Inauguration Week.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The amount
OF business transacted by the Washington
Office Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company during the week ended March
last was greater than that of any
previous Inauguration week in the
history of the office. In the week
of the Inauguration of 1881 the num-
Der of words of press matter sent was
600,0S0 and of private messages 1890. In
the recent Inauguration week the number
of words of press matter handled was
Sl7,276 and of private messages S7,910, an
increase of more than 217,000 words of
press and nearly 16, 900 messages over the
corresponding week in 1881. The greatly
increased newspaper space given to
the description of the Inauguration
of President Cleveland, as compared
with that of President Garfield, is shown
by the fact that 255, 900 words of press
matter were sent from the Washington
Office on March 4, 1885, as against 1916, 900
in 1881, an increase of nearly 10000 words,
This immense volume of business was
handled under the skilluful direction of
Manager Morean with promptness and
accuracy never before attained. During
the week which followed the assassination
of President Garfield the amount of press
matter sent from the Washington Office
was somewhat larger than that sent
during the recent inauguration week, but
the volume of the general business was
much smaller, and the aggregate of the
work done considerably less.

Commons last night the motion to grant

come of f20,000as pension was adopted.

MEMORIALS FOR GORDON.
Memorial services in honor of Gen.
Gordon were held to-day at St. PauPs
cathedral, at Westminster Abbey and at
many other cathedrals. Immense crowds
were. present everywhere. Richard
Durnford, Bishop of Chichester, preached
a memorial sermon. In the course of
this he asked "Does the death of Gen.
Gordon bring no disgrace upon EnglandY
Is there not humiliation linked with our
sorrow? The nations which envy our
greatness are reioiced at England's ina
bility to protect her listed servant.
Scorn and TeprOach are cast upon US.
Could we plead that they are undeserved?
The conscience of the nation feels that
stain rests upon it,"
GoRDoN's SIXTH DIARY.
Marquis of Harrington, Secretary of
State for War, stated IN the House of
Commons this afternoon that the sixth
volume of Gen. Gordon's diary had been
received, and with it letter from Gen.
Gordon. In accordance with Gen.
Gordon's wishes, he said, certain ex-
tracts would be published as soon as
possible, and the whole diary would
then be handed over to his relations.
METEMNEH REPORTED EVACUATED.
A report is current among the natives

THE ENGINEERS STRIKE.
Affairs on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad reached their ulti-
matum tonight at s o'clock, when all the
engineers on the line of the Macon and
Brunswick division struck. No freight
trains were sent out tonight, and new
men from Atlanta pulled the passenger
trains out. The cause OF the strike, as
claimed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, is the failure of the railroad
authorities to keep their contract with
the Grievance Committee, the discharge
or engineers who are members of the
brotherhood, aud putting in their
places non-members at one-half
the pay, and the failure to pay
the same class Of employees off. Sup@-
intendent Fry and Assistant General
Passenger Agent Griffin are here tonight.
They express regret at the turn affairs
nave taken, but propose to fight to the
Dltter end, as they consider that they
have always treated their employees right
ard will not to be bulldozed. All the
men out on the road have orders to side
track their trains of cars. Much anxiety
is felt here over the matter Tonight
