Cabinet Talk

and personal influence Is being welded upon
Secretary Manning.to induce him to change
his determination to retire from the cabinet
and 10 remain. lie has. it IS stated, firmly
told the president that he positively does not
want to continue in the treasury depart
ment because lie believes his health
will not permit it, but the president has as
sured him that he can take rest whenever
he desired, and that he can be relieved OF
much of the routine work. y belief prevails
that Manning will be persuaded to return
here
A good deal of weight was put upon the
report circulated the other day to the effect
that Secretary Bayard was contemplating
exchanging his position as head of the de-
partment of state for the trearury portfolio.
il is notorious here that Mr. Bayard has not
enjoyed the Office he now occupies, but 1t IS
not on account of the lively character Of
so me of his official acts, as many suppose. 1t
ait because he has been kept at so many rou-
tine matters. He never did much routine
work before he took the place he now fills,
and the Office has had more OF 1t during II IS
incumbency than In twice the time immedi-
ately before his advent there. This has been
the result OF the large number OF changes in
the foreign service under this adminstra..
ton.
For year the employees of the state de-
partment have been at work most of their
time instructing ministers and cOnsuls or
course, this carried with it many new inter
secretary, and the assistants would naturally
defer as much to thenew superior rs possible.
This made the Office duties unusually ardu-
GUS and has caused the secretary to wish
thousand times that he was q senator again.
1t is predicted by a friend of Mr.. Bayard
that there VIII be new man at the head of
that department before the end of this term
OF President Cleveland. lie says Mr.. Bayard
is tired of IL.
AN ARRANGEMENT REACHED.
b. 1t was arranged at the conference between
the president and Secretary Manning at AL
bany yesterday that Manning should come
back to this city about October and take his
place at the head of the treasury. At least he
was nominally to be in his old place. This
state of things was to last, unless Manning
breaks down again, until after the November
elections, and then Cleveland will be in a
position to choose n successor to him. There
Is truth in the rumOr that Cleveland wanted
Manning to take the Austrian mission. 1t
Is generally supposed he thought it would be
a compliment to Manning to give him a for
eigD birth for his health's sake after he had
served his purposes in the cabinet until Nov
ember But Manning did not see it in this
light, and preferred to retire altogether.
From him comes the opposition to the Aus
trian SNAP" Manning is acting on the ad-
vice of his doctors, who tell him to retire
from public life, but Cleveland is begging
him like he did once before to remain by
him at least until the elections are over. At
present Cleveland has no one to put in Man
ning's place. Fairchild would like to have
it, but the president is not going to give
away such q big office to a man who can be
satisfied with an assistants place, and by
giving the chiefs place to some leader gain
followers in 1888. Cleveland'S eye is now
fixed on denomination
MGILLICuDDY's SUCCESSOR.
Hugh ID. Gallagher was to-day appointed
Indian agent at the Pine Ridge agency, Oak.
Mr. Gallagher is n merchant of GreenSburg,
Ind, married, and is forty-seven years old.

Q collection of long-haired cranks termed the

have been living off the Indians and philan-

organization is located at Washington, and
Atkins, the present Indian commissioners,

Gallagher pleases Red Cloud he will get on
nicely. If not he will have to resign his
Office, as the Indian Defense association
champions Red Cloud on all occasions. When
MIR. Gailagher's nomination comes before
the senate his envable record will avail him
little, as Mr.. Atkins must bring ample evi-
dence of the charges he has made against
Mctiillicuddy, who was the best agent in the

oLEoMARGARINE MANUFACTURERS
in writing to their attorneys here about their
wants at the. treasury department observe
that their business has not diminished by the
operation of tho new law regulating ii. They
report diminutlon of the number of dealers
and makers, but say the number of consum-
ers has not grown less.
1t is said by the lawyers who are looking
after the business of the oleo men that what
Is necessary to decrease the manufacture of
the article is an amendment TO the law re-
quiring hotel keepers to make known
the fact that they use it. They say
that the great bulk of the article Is sold
to keepers of public hostelries. Evidently
this move Is contemplated by the manufac-
et,lrers, and 1t will be heartily supported by
the statesmen who do not keep house in
Washington. II there is not an amendment
of the character indicated, 1t is believed that
there will be boycott of the hotels which do
not show cOnclusively that they use only
pure butter. 1t looks as though the worst had
not come to the oleo men. The law has
hardly had a chance to make an effect
either.
