Spectal Dispaich to The Tridune. ‘WasninoToN, D, C., May 10.—Tho President bas received notice that Collector Weltzel wliil probably arrive to-morrow. He will then be afforded n last opportunity to resign, aod if he does not avail himself of this Indulgence his successor will be appointed. The Prosident to- day informed a Republican Represontative that Col. Weitrel's rerignation had been asked be- cause affairs in his district were not In o satls- factory condition, and that the change contem- plated was for cause. This was explained to the Hepresentative because his constituents de- sired the Presidont to removo a Collector who hind been In along time, and they desired s chanye for TR 000D OF THE DISTRICT, and had cited to him tho caso of Col. Weitzel, who had been asked to resign, although the Beeretary of the Treasury certified that ho was o good officer. It was to this presentation of tho case that the President reolied that the cases were not parallel, becauso the chauge in the Cincinuatt distriet was for cause. Secre- tary Sherman bimself, a few days before ha left for the West, informed a Republican member of tho House from Ohto that the Treasury Depart~ ment had discotered whisky frauds in Cincin- natl, ana was just ready to move ngalnst the deteeted partics, when Information was given them that compelled the Dopartment to post- poue its action, Cowmmissloner Rawn asked for THE ESOVAL OF COLLECTOR WEITZHL, and all the facts upon which the, chauge was asked, belng In substanco hut fn groater detail the same as already published in thesc dis- patches, were lald hefore tho President and Bee- retary Sherman, There was a full conference between these three fn regard o the mattor, and it was decided that Seeretary Sherman should writo for the resignation at once. . 8ince the publication ln these dispatches of the figutes stating Commissloner Raum's estl- mates of the loss to the Government by these Cluninnati frauds at $1,230,000, he las been nsked whetber these figures wera correct, and whether he had been misunderstood, and he re- plics that theso are the estimates as he pave them. The reports and correspondenca which coutain the facts upon which tho statements of those dispatchies were Lased are fo the Treasury Depurtment, and WILL BB AVAILADLE AND RFFECTIVE i1, as,Collector Weltzel’sludiscreot fricuds desire in the Cinclunati organ ot tha Whisky Ring, he hay declded to take his caso befure the Senato, Sucha caseas ls threatened will not stand as 16n us his advisers pretend o thiuk it will, if It becomes uecessary to state in reply to fn- fuicies [eom i Seante committee that a” change §s desfred, because the organization of that oflice was found to bo such that the offlcers cn- countered difllculty in reaching tho partics who were defraudlug tho revenue.
