On the 10th vi May Secretary Manning ad.
resignation AS Secretary oi the Treasury, for
both public and private reasons. In IL he says
that the full recovery of his health is pro-

regimen thereafter. He could not comply with
this advice should he resume the general di-
rection vi tue Treasury department., while

hindrance than help to the Acling Secretary.

ep Tor the guidance Of the Treasury depar tmenl
will require that YOU he assisted In their nd.
m!nistration by AN officer capable Ut full etii-
cheney and unwearied circuuspection. Permit
me. therefore, without hesitation to accept my
temporary disability as q SUMMONS to stand
aside and make way for one Immediately Csli,a.
bic OF utilizing every requirement. Of The public
