The Treasury Department continues to

Ia at present an increasing demand.
several offers had TO be temporarily de-
elined, as 1t was found the god was
/ light weight, aud until those who offered
u made up the deficiency In weight the
government could not accept 1t. In this
connection il Ia Interesting TO note that
the government requires absolute ac-
curacy before II viii receipt for light
weight coin.
The story pub shed to the effect that
President Cleveland has inaugurated 8
big fight against the Senate, because OF
his displessure on account OF the manner
in which the committees OF that body
were organized, 10 incori Get. Cleveland
might have been hetetr pie ed II the Sen
ate Committees had been organized diff
ferently, but lao does not intend to mani
iest any displeasure or dieappo ntment
he may feel. Tho attention OF several
Senators who called at the White House
was called TO the published story, and
they unanimously denied any knowledge
oil the alleged strained relations between
the Senate and the President.
President Cleveland has decided upon
a line OF policy to be pursued in the APP.
pontment of Consuls, which Is expected
TO materially expand the trade OF the
United tates with foreign countries,
and especially with the South American
and Central American republics. Hie
policy liz to select men for Consuls VINO
have exceptional business qualifications
! and possess sufficient trade instinct to
recognize an outlet Tor American mer-
chapdiRe, and ability to aid In working
up market ior the product OF American
manufacturers and farms. The Presi-
dent said, OF course, Official reasons
cannot he entirely ignored in the selec
tion OF Consuls, but particular stress
will be laid upon the business abilities
, OF the men whose names are presented
TO him.
Several people who have known how
long Cleveland Is obliged to stand on
/ his feet duriug the many hours is re-
ceiving people, have wondered how il
was that he was able to keep up. He
comes down into the east room and
shakes hands with thousands of people,
standing on his feet for an hour or hall
an hour, AZ the case may be. In his
private Office he feels the necessity Of
arising to his feet when he receives visit
ors who are distinguished enough to be
admitted 10 private interview. 1t is
found, however, that the President has a
great echeme. His desk is low enough
10 admit his sitting upon 1t in an APP
parent attitude of standing, and IL Is
tneIe ne sllH, Win ma ftet on the HOOf
and his weight ing on the desk, and
shakes hands and chats with the visitors
who are admitted. 1t has been re-
marked by several persons that he does
not move around very much, but nobody
knows better than MIR. Cleveland him
self why he does not move around. lie
is scheming all the viii to save himself
and this attitude he finds very comfort
able.
II is probable the clerks and some
other employees In the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing not directly employed
in the production OF greenbacks and
other government obligations will have
TO take certificates OF Indebtedness in
stead OF cash for their salaries for the
remainder Of he fiscal ear. Tnis is the
result OF an error in the enrolment OF
the deficiency bill, by which the word
"thoussnd was left off after the appro-
pr,ation intended to be $37 GOO for def.
etsney in the pay OF clerical and other
help at the bureau of engraving and
printing. II is pr, sumed the employees
will not be dropped FROM the rolls Tor the
remand r OF this fiscal year, IA they are
necessary to the working OF the bureau.
II lie likely this will be considered a case
wherein the government officers are au-
thorized to create an Indebtedness under
the statute providing that mo govern
ment officer shall incur indie edness for
the government except to save II 9 and
/ property" IL may be held the employ
ment OF these clerks is necessary to save
