Butler, appointment clerk of the ‘Treasury department, has tendered bls resigna- Uon, to take effect on the first of April. Secretary ‘olger Tas not yet acted In the mutter, Mr. Bui- ler. in conversation With a Star reporter to-day Suid that MMs resignation was the simple result of felt desire to sever his connection with the rment service and enter into private business, He said he expected to remain in the department Until the first of April. During April and May he would remain in Washington attending to some private inatters Atter spending the summer in the country for rest, he would, in the fall, enter upon the practice of law In New York city.’ Not- withstanding the resienation, many persons are of the opinion that the rumor tit Mr. Butler is to be Assistant Secretary of the ‘Treasury, which was, Mentioned In THe Stak a few days ago, 1s correct, as his resignation has not been accepted, By ac? Ung the office of Assistant Secretary of the Teasiry he would fll the unexpired term of Mr. John C.’New, and his return to private ite would bedelaved Duta comparatively short time, and it would be accompanied with the reputation of hay- ing been Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, which Would be quite an honor for'a young man.

Secretary Frelinghuysen to-day recelved a cable message from St. Petersburg announcing the death of Minister Wm. Henry Hunt this morning from dropsy, superinduced by chronic inflammation of the liver. Minister Hunt was born tn Charleston, S.C., in 184, being the youngest of five sons. Tis father was a lawyer of distinction, a planter, anda member of the state legislature. On account of the Calhoun nullification troubles the family tert South Carolina and went to New Orleans, where the ‘brothers grew up, and for more than’a third ota century were leading cltens there. Mr. Hunt was sent to school_at New Haven, Connecticut, when very young. He entered Yale college, but in his third ‘year there he was compelled to return to ‘New Orleans on account of change of fortune.
