Manning VIII Probably Remain at the
Head Of tho Treasury-New Silver Ger.
tiicntes-AIiies' Report.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-The Star says:
"At the Treasury Department there seems
10 be no importance attached to the report
that the President has offered the Secre-
taryship Of the Treasury to Senator Nc
PhersOn. 1t may be stated with certainty
that Secretary Manning is going back to
the treasury. He has decided 70 remain ut
the head Of the department SO long as his
health will permit him to do 80. even to the
end of Mr.. Cleveland's term. When the
members Of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet &C.
copied their appointments It was with ths
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 experiment and many
serious obstacles had to be overcome and sta.
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 carry into effect Democratic
measures and make the Administration q
success. OF course such calamity as the
illness Of Mr.. Manning was not taken into
consideration. When lie was In such q
critical condition that it was uncertain
whether or not he would ever recover, and
was Obliged 10 leave the department., it
seemed as IL his retirement could not bo
avoided. Consequently his resignation was
sent in. Now no is apparently recovered
in health and Is willing and desires to
stand by the ship and see the Administra-
ton through, il his physical condition will
admit Of it He would put himself to great
personal Inconvenience to do this. His all
sence would be serious loss to the Cabinet
and Mr.. Cleveland would feel 1t keenly.
OF course, rs a friend, Mr.. Cleveland
would not urge upon him too strongly to re-
main II it involved injury to his health, but
he will do all he can to retain his services
without taxing his strength. 1t may be
said with certainty that Mr.. Manning will
make the trial. Those who are best in
formed on the situation do not think that
Senator Mcpherson will be the Secretary Of
the Treasury should Manning find by expe-
rience that his retirement from active life ii
necessary to his health. At any rate it is
stated that Secretary Manning will give
himself a fair trial, and it is the general i'm
preston that under the circumstances he
elections. The President will then be bet
before the people and to make a
suitable selection of another Cabinet officer"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The United States
Treasurer to-day issued the following notice
in regard TO the issue of 81 silver certiti.
cares: lowing to the great demand for
other denominations of notes the Treasurer
of the United States is unable to supply 81
notes, except i'm small amounts. In order
to satisfy as far as possible the public de-
mands, 1t has been decided to furnsh from
this Office these notes i'm sums of $1,000 to
each bank, making application and ut the
same time depOsiting that sum with
the Assistant Treasurer at New York.
Upon receipt Of the certificate of deposit
q like sum will be forwarded at the
expense of the banks making applica-
ton. In order to effect an equitable dis
as far as possible, applicants will
obtain these notes In the Orter in which de-
pOSitS are made at the sub-treasury at New
York. Until further notice no second appii-
cation will be granted until the supply of
notes is adequate TO all demands" The
amount of these certificates that
the Treasury can furnish daily will not ex-
coed SSO,000, and it is suggested by the
Acting Treasurer that it will be well for
banks to ascertain through their New York
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 i'm the hands nf
the President. and is not therefCrs Icsts.
sibIe for publication. 1t is known, how
ever, that that part of it referring to Ger
Onimo's surrender is not satisfactory to the
Administration, and that the terms os that
that the lives of the prisoners
should be spared is a subject Of embarrass-
ment and perplexity. In promising this
Miles has, it is said, gone contrary to the
orders. and makes the 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.
