WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-Tte Star says:
"At the Treasury Department there seetns
to be 10 Importance attached to the report
That the President has offered tho Secre-
isrrship ct the Treasury to Senator Nc
PherScn. It may be stated with certainty
that Secrctaft Manning is going back to
the treasury. He has decided 20 remain at
The head of the department 80 long "a his
ness..t;l will permit him to do SO. even to the
end Of Mr.. CIevei.u,::'ss term. When the
members of Mr.. Cleveland's Cav,:..ees ac-
cepted theit Appointments Is was with the
understanding that lEs3 enlisted fcr the
war; that they would remain iii Tie Csbfnef
until the end Of the term A Democratic
administration was an experiment and many
bility was necessary. 1t was important that
there should be no breaking up of the Cab
met They had TO work together, come
what might. to eaffy Into effect Democratic
MEASURES and ihaks the Administration a
success. OF course such Calamity - the
illness of Mr.. Manning was not taken Into
consideration. When he was In such
critical condition that II was uncertain
whether or not he w6did ever recover, and
was Obliged to leave the department., it
seemed as II his retirement could not be
avoided. Consequently his resignation was
sent in. Now lie is apparently recovered
IN health ard Is willing and desires to
stand by the ship and see tbs Administra-
ton through, If his physical condition will
admit Of it. lie would put himself u great
personal Inconvenience to do this. His alb
sence would be serious loss to the Cabinet
and Mr.. Cleveland would feel it keenly.
OF course, as q friend. Mr.. Cleveland
would not urge upon him too strongly to re-
main II it involved injtry 10 his health, but
he will do all he can to fetaiit hiS services
without taxing his strength. 1t may he
said with certainty that Mr.. Manning will
make the trial. Those who are best in
formed OH tho situation do not think that
Senator Mcpherson Will b. the Secretary of
the Treasury should Manning find by sApe-
rience that his retirement from active life IL
necessary to his health. At any rate it is
stated that Secretary Manning will give
himself fair trial, and it is the general i'm
preston that under the circumstances he
will not resign until after the November
elections. The President will then be bet
ter able to Judge of the status of the Admin
istrati0n before the people and to make
suitable selection of another Cabinet officer"
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-The United States
Treasurer to-day issued the following notice
in regard 10 the issue of ST silver certif-
cales: Owing to tho great demand for
other denominations Of notes the Treasurer
of the United States is unable to supply 81
notes, except in small amounts. In order
to satisfy as far as p0ssible the public de-
mands, it has been decided to furnish from
this Office these notes in sums of $1,000 to
each bank, making application and at the
same time depOsitlnx that SUN with
the Assistant Treasurer at New York.
Upon receipt of the certificate of deposit,
like sum will be forwarded at the
expense of the banks making applica-
ton. In order to effect All equitable dis
tributioh as far as possible, applicants will
obtain these notes In the order in which de-
pOsts are made at tho Sub treasury at New
York. Until further notice no second appli-
cation will be granted until tho supply Of
notes is adequate TO all demands" The
maximum amount of these certificates that
the Treasury can furnish daily will not ex-
coed $4,000, and it is suggested by the
Acting Treasurer that it will be well for
banks to ascertain through their New York
correspondent the probable time when they
will receive the shipments of ones in the
order i'm which deposits are made.
WASHINGTON. Oct 1.-The annual report
of General Miles is still in the hands Of
the President. and is not therefore sccts.
sible for publication. 1t Is known, how
ever, that that part of it referring to Ger
OnimO's surrender is not satisfactory to the
and that the terms Of that
surrender that the lives of the prisoners
should be spared is subject of embarrass-
ment and perpIexity. In promising this
Miles has, it is said, gone contrary to the
orders, and makes tho punishment of the
prisoners impossible. Even should the
civil authorities Of Arizona demand them
for trial the United States authorities could
not give them up.
