THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.
Semi o fficial Statement that Mr.. Manning
Will Not Retire from His Position.

Semi o fficial Statement that Mr.. Manning
Will Not Retire from His Position.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The Star tonight says:
SAT the Treasury Department there seems to be
no importance attached to the report that The
President has offered the secretaryship of the
Treasury to Senator Mcpherson It may be
stated with certainty that Secretary Manning is
going back to the Treasury. He has decided to
remain at the head of the department so long as
his health will permit him to do so, even to the
end of Mr. Cleveland's term. When the mem
bers of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet accepted their
appointments it was with the understanding
that they enlisted for the war; that they would
remain in the Cabinet until the end of the term
A Democratic administration was an expert
ment, and many serious obstacles had to be
overcome and stability was necessary. It
was important that there should be
no breaking up of the Cabinet. They had to
work together. come what might, to carry into
effect Democratic measures and make the ad-
ministration success. OF course such calam-
ity as the lines of Mr.. Manning was not taken
into consideration. When he in such
critical condition that it was uncertain
whether or not he would recover,
and he was obliged to leave the department, it
seemed his retirement could not be avoided
Consequently his resignation was sent in
Now he is apparently recovered in health, and
he is willing and desires TO stand by the ship
and see the administration through. if his physi-
cal condition will permit of it. He would put
himself to great personal inconvenience to do
this. His absence would be a serious loss to the
Cabinet, and Mr.. Cleveland would feel it keenly
OF course, friend, Mr.. Cleveland wohld not
urge upon him too strongly to remain If it in
volved injury to his health, but he will do all he
can to retain his services without overtaxing his
strength It may be said with certainty that
Mr. Manning will make the trial Those who
are in position to be best informed on the situa-
tion DO not think that Senator Mcpherson will
be the Secretary of the Treasury, should Mr..
Manning find by experience that his retirement
from active life is necessary to his health At
any rate, it is stated that Secretary Manning
will give himself fair trial, and it is tho gem
impression that under any circumstances, he
will not resign until after the November cleo
tions The President will then be better able TO
judge of the status of the administration before
the people, and to make suitable selection of
another Cabinet officer.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The will of the Due D. Aumale.

all their appurtenances, works of art, books, and
revenues, to the French institute in trust for the
people of France forever, is dated in 1884 The
Duke explains that he wishes to have the trans
fer made now for the express purpose of avoid
ing legal hamperings which might be instituted
by claimants or heirs after his death. The gift
is accom- panied by but one condition, and that is
that the property must be preserved intact as it
shall be on the day it comes into possession of
the trustees. The estates are to be called the
Conde museum are to be opened to the public at
least twice a week during six months of the year
and the revenues to be applied to keeping
the whole of the estates in proper order and to
the requirement of additional works of art to en-
rich the magnificent collections with which the
estates are already endowed, to pensioning in
digent authors and artists, and to Furnishing e
prizes for the encouragement of the adoption of
artistic careers. A separate clause of the will
authorizes the sale of the Due D. Aumale's
domains at Dolus to provide the money for pre-
liminary expenses which may attend the transfer
and transformation of the Chantilly estates from
their present private character to that for which
they are beoueathed.

what is wanted with the list. A member of the

1t Looks Though the Government Had
Made q Very Poor Bargain.
WASHINGTON Oct 1.-The annual report of
General Miles is still in the hands of the Presi-
dent, and has been the subject of brief confer
ence to-day between himself and Secretary En9i-
colt, but it is understood that no line of action
has been decided upon in regard to that portion
relating to the surrender of Geronimo. While
the text of the report is not yet accessible for
publication, it is known that in respect to that
matter General Miles does not explain himself
to the satisfaction of the authorities, and that
his granting of conditions, which are now under
stood to be even more liberal than has hereto
fore been supposed, is a subject of embarrass
ment and perplexity Without saying so in en-
phatic terms, it is gathered from General
Miles's roundabout expressions on the subject
that the agreement was mad that the lives of thee
prisoners should be spared, and that they should
be removed at once from Arizona. In this respect
General Miles has, it is said, gone contrary to
the well-understood wishes of his superiors. and
his action amounts practically to disobedience of
orders The entire reason suggested for this
course-the absence of any satisfactory state
ment on the point from General Miles-is the
fear that if he did not secure the prisoners in
this way they would make terms with and sur
render themselves to the Mexicans This would
have rendered the termination of the campai gn
apparently less credtable to the Americans. In
this state of affairs, there seems TO be nothing
which the authorities can do for the punishment
of the prisoners, except to keep them permanent
ly as prisoners of war. Even should the civil
authorities of Arizona demand them for trial,

Washington Special.
The President is not, as has been represented,
investigating alleged violations of his order pro-
hibiting offensive partsanship on the part of fed
eral officials, because no formal charges have
been presented to HIM in any such case, though
anonymous letters charging such violations have
been received at the White House. But anony-
nous letters are thrown in the nearest waste
basket. If any responsible person will present
and prove charges against any federal official
involving violation of the Presidents order,
the federal official in question will be summarily
dismissed. The President proposes to enforce
the order to the fullest extent, but he cannot
take official cognizance of vague and general
statements 1t should be understood, of course,
