HOW MANNING MANAGED.
Cleveland's First Treasurer Threatened to
Pay the Raiders In Silver.

Pay the Raiders In Silver.
New York World, Thursday.
"Senator Perkins, of California, told
today, for the first time, the story of
what Daniel Manning did when he was
secretary of the treasury, and a syndi'
cate tried to make the government
surrender gold for boarding and spec
ulation.
"They were raiding the treasury in
those days just as they have been raid
ing it under Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration. Secretary Manning saw and
understood the situation. He also saw
the remedy, although it is quite posi-
bic that what he did was suggested to
him by Mr.. Tilden. He took his grip
sack and started for New York.
When he arrived he sent for the chief
raiders Of the treasury. If l should
mention their names they would sound
quite familiar to those who have been
reading the story of the great Morgan
syndicate.
Gentlemen said the secretary, in
a cold, hard voice, the treasury Is
willing to furnish gold for any legiti-
mate demand, but if you attempt to
draw upon the treasury gold after to-
day as you are now doing, for hoard
ing or speculation; l shall adopt an ef-
fective remedy for the protection Of
the governments reserve. We have
cash balance of over S15O,000,000.
Not one Of you doubts for a moment
the purpose and ability of the govern
ment to maintain specie payments.
But if you continue to withdraw gold
| shall at once order that you be paid
10 per cent. in silver coin the first day.
The second day you will be paid 20
per cent. in silver, the third day 80,
and so on until one-half will be paid
you in silver

bankers, this is in violation of the i'm

The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier reports that it
has now been definitely settled that
Postmaster General Wilson has taken
DR.. Straits name off the BLACKLIST"
and the doctor Is very much gratified
thereat. The appointment of Mr.. E. E.
Poag, as postmaster at Rock Hill, is said to
have been made in Difference to DR.. Straits
wishes, and the probability is that from
now on the doctor will have no trouble in
controlling the patronage of his district.

which has undertaken to ameliorate
the condition of the Armenians. The
reasons for the sultan's actions are
stated. 1t is claimed that the Red
Cross funds are raised by the false ac-

ish government, and the promise is
made that the sultan will look after
the interests of all of bis subjects, and
alleviate their wants, regardless of

: The approximate estimate of the gol'

The approximate estimate of the gold
and silver output of the United States dur
ing the year 1895, as reported to the direc-
tors of the mint, is s56,6l4, 900 of gold, and
81 ,OOO, 900 ounces of silver. The ratio in
the weight of the two metals is slightly
less than l6 of silver to Of gold, and it is
quite likely that if all the figures were in,
it would be found that the same ratio
would hold good for the entire world.

THE LAKME In PORT.
She Could Not Ascend Cook
Inlet for tho Ice.
THE PASSENGERS At COAL POINT


The steam schooner LAkme quietly
poked her nose into the harbor this MORN
ing at 100 o'clock from Cook inlet, and
tied up at the Arlington dock She was
obliged TO leave all her passengers at
Coal bay. on account Of the ice that
blocks the inlet. The steamer Utopia Is
also at Coal bay, and as soon as possible
will 60 up the inlet with not only her
own. but also the Lakme's passengers.
and land them at Six-Mile creek.
The Lakme had no accident OF any
kind. owing largely to the caution and
precaution taken by Capt Anderson
Will A. Steel. a well-known newspaper
man Of this city. who was passenger up
and down on the Lakme. told the follow
ing story Of the trip: I'VE left Seattle
April 5. reaching Sitka the following
Thursday. and the entrance OF Cook inlet
the following Sunday night We went
about seventy miles up the inlet the fol-
lowing day when We encountered
high blocks Of floating ice. We cruised
back down the inlet slowly until morning.
when another attempt was made to go
to the head On the way up the Utopia
was met. and both vessels went only about
as far A. we had gone the previousday.
We were compelled to turn back on ac-
count Of the Ice. and went into kachek-
max bay. where anchor was dropped. After
remaining there until the following Tues
day. another attempt was made to forge
through the Ice. but without avail. We
again returned to tho bay. and anchored
OF Coal point.
Here the passengers and freightwere
discharged and Camp Andersonvile was
established on the point. where there were
already about seventy others camped This
other party was from the steam schooner
Excelsior. They were feeling in good spir-
its. An arrangement was made with tho
Utopia by which she was to lie here until
the passage was cleared OF Ice. snd then
land the Lakmes passengers at Six Mile
creek. We left there last Saturday night,
and had q rough trip down. All the way
headwinds and choppy seas were encoun-
tered.
Every member of the party at Camp

appointed at the necessary delay In reach
