The President's Order.

WHAT IS SAID OF IT ON THE SENATE SIDE OF
THE CAPITOL.
Senators were apparently SO busily engaged
to-day in the pressing duties of legislation that
there was very little discussion OF the Presi-
dents order forbiddtng federal ottice-holders to
take an active part In politics. Those demo-
cratic Senators who heartily sustain the Presi-
dents reform ideas approve the order. There
are democrats who do not approve the order,
but they are largely in the minority, If public
expressions on the subject be criterion. The
general impression is that the President is
thoroughly In earnest in what he says, and that
If any official doubts his sincerity he has but
TO disregard the order TO become satisfied on
that point.
Many OF the republican Senators give the
President credit for sincerity, but some of them
incline to the opinion that the order will to a
considerable extent be nullified, because high
government officials Of the democratic persua.
sion will not care to see 1T enforced. In other
words, these Senators do not believe that the
order will receive much support from authority
below that OF the Executive, and they say that
without the hearty cooperation OF heads OF bu-
reaus. chief clerks, etc., 1t cannot be well en-.
forced.

Secretary Manning Improving.

AIbAny UISpAicu 10 n 7. Il1neS, July IA.
Secretary Manning has surprised his friends
by his vigor and keen interest in public affairs
since his return home. He remarked to-day
that he felt pretty we'll, and, aside from a slow
ness Of movement and slight uncertainty in
walking, he scents nearly TO have recovered
from his illness. He is in good spirits and
meets many Of his old associates daily At the
directors room In the Commercial bank, of
which he was president before going to WASH
ingtOn, or at his house on Washington avenue.
If he experiences NO relapse there Is every rea-
son TO believe that he will be back in the Treas
ury department in October. He refrains from
any reference to the matter, although 1t is
known that he prefers the lie in Albany to
that at Washington. The same reason which
induced him to go into the cabinet will doubt
less eep him there.
