He hulds that the guns are undoubtedly ‘sporting guns, and are in part, at least, breech loading, and thereiore are dutiable atthe rate of 36 per ceut ad valorem, under tue tariff provision for “ail Sporting breech-loading sho SECRETARY MANNING'S HEALTH 1s believed to be improving under the pressure of his official duties.

The Failure of Mrs. Cleveland to Go to Richmond Not Owing to the Presence of Mise Davis. ‘The failure of Mrs. Cleveland to accompany the President to Richmond continues to cause considerable comment. Tuere is a disposition in some quarters to attribute her absence and that of Mrs, Vilas and Miss Endicott to the fact that Miss Davis, the daughter of Jefferson Davis, was to be a member of the recelv- ing party at the reception at the guber- natorial mansion, on the ground that it would be impolitic for the wife of the President to participate in a reception with the daughter of the leader of “tne confederacy. Those who are in a position to know, however, deny emphatically that Mrs, Cleveland remained’ in. Washiugion tor that reusun. At the White House it Is slated that nothing was known regarding Miss Davis" pres- ence, und that the ladies themselves decided to Temain at home for reasons of their own, There Was « good deal of doubt about their going from the start, and when first one and then another evinced An indisposition to make the Visit, Wey Geciued at the lst moment. to remain at home. Matters ol dress, &c., entered Into tue question, Which men are Lot supposed to know ubout, WHAT SECRETARY LAMAR SAYS ABOUT IT, ‘The current rumors auributing reasons why Mrs, Cleveland did not go to Ricumond yester- day were reterred to by 4 STAR reporter in the course of w conversation with Secretary Lamar Wruuy. ‘The Seeretury said that he knew notl- ing bout the reusuns for Mrs. Cleveland's re- maining at home. He thought that the expla- nution given in some quarters thal It wus Vecause u daughter of Jefferson Davis was visii- Ing there wus pertectly absurd and ridiculous.” AL is more reasonable to suppose thal Mrs. Cleveland had some reuson of her own, the Secretary suid, especially as It 1s known ‘that she at fist declined to uccept the Invitation to go w Richmond, MEMBEHS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY DENY SOME RUMORS. A Richmond dispaten w the Baltimore Sun has the following: “On the trip down here from Washington all the Richmond gentlemen found the Presi- dent very affable and kind, but be was not very talkative, and, in iact, rarely is, On the way to Richmond there was a good deal of talk as to why Mrs. Clevelund ‘and the cabinet ludies did not come. ‘The President suid that bis wie regreited that clcum- stauees prevented her frum leaving Washing: ton, but that she loped to visit Ricnunoud ueldre very loug. One of the Kichmoud gen- Uemen mentioned vo Secretary Bayard the Tumor that the change of progruin, tae non- attendance of Mrs. Cievelund, and the break jug up o: the President's reception ut Gov. Lee's, afler the governor bad gone to all the tained over ‘The one just printed uoubie and expense of preparatios due to “the “fact that "Me *Geveisnd did not think it politic to “have a Feception Iu conjunction with Fitzhugu Lee, Airs, Lee and Miss Winnie Davis (a uauguter of the “Hon. Jeif. Davis), who Is the goveraur's guest. Mr. Bayard prouounced tbat nonsense, He said that he did not believe any suci iden had ever entered the Presiuent’s head. Nearly ail tue members of the party expressed thé opinion that that rumor was buseless and Wwolish, Que of them, wuuse wife intended to come with Mrs. Cleveland, said that Mrs, ‘Cieveluud only gave up her visit to Richmond at 8 p.m. Wednesday, and that the reuson w: ‘she Was appretiensive tuat the amount of trav: eling necessury und the fatigue wud excitement Unaveldable would be loo muen tor her. So It Was that the distinguished gentlemen came without the ladies; so itis that Mrs. Cleveland owes Richmond « Visit which she will certainiy be culled upon to pay.” ‘the disputch further adds: “Among tha la- dies on the portico irom wuleh the speukiug wok place were Mrs. Lee, the governors wile, and Miss Winole Davis, dauguter o1 ex-Presi- dent Jetferson Davis, to wnom President Vieve- lund was introduced, and wita whom be speat afew moments in THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN. The Party Committees Here Not as Im- Portant as They Used to Be. BUT LITTLE KNOWN HERE OF THE INDICA- TIONS—THE DEMOCRATS THINK THEY WILL HOLD THE HousE. The Congressional elections, though not two weeks distant, seem to arouse very little gen- eral Interest. Owing to the civil service law the committees have been able to do very little from Washington.

A BRAVE YOUNG SOLDIER. His Record in the Apache Campaign. “One young soldier, at least, has made a repu- tation durlog the Apache campaign,” said an army officer to @ Sta reporter to-day. “I mean Second Lieut. Powhatan H. Clarke, ot the 10th cavalry, who has twice been publicly complimented by Gen. Miles recently for gullant service, He deservescredit not only for his bravery, but for the maply way in which he bus performed unpleasant duty. He 1s a son of Powhatan Clarke, of Bal- timore, formerly from Virginia, You can imagine how distasteful It 1s for @ young Virginian tobe compelled to serve with acolored regiment. In uearly every in- Stence such officers do everything in their power to be assigned to some other regiment, and in failing tuey never cease to express thelr dissatisfuction. Young Clarke, who was gradu- ated from West Point only ‘two years ago, never made & murmur and has repeatedly shown the stuff he is mude oi.” HIS RESCUE OF A COLORED CORPORAL “You remember his rescue of a wounded col- ored corporal was made the subject of a front page illustration of Harper's Weekly lately. That wasn’t exaggerated @ particle. The corporal had been wounded and _his companions — had fallen buck, leaving him exposed to u terrible fire, and unable to move.

Secretary Fairchild is going to give his per- sonal attention to District matters, in a man- ner that has not been customury heretofore. Formerly there uas been considerable complaint because the District Commissioners’ estimates were supervised and changed by a $1,400 clerk in the Treasury. The grounds for this compluint will be removed by the Secretary giving his personal attention to tue matter. Estimates are now betug made by the super- intendent of the Treasury building, Mr. Walsh, for Une uel, light and water ofthe public bu ings, and the furuisuing of new buildings chat will’ soon be completed. There will be some Uuirty-five new buildings to be (urnished wita heat und light, but te increase in the estim- utes will not be more than $50,000. About seventy-three new bulldings are iu the course ‘91 construction, and considerable money will have to be expended in furnishing them, At proseut tere ure a nundred buildings owned by the goverment and iwo hundred and Lweulty-three reuted buildings that have to be heated and turnished with light aud water. ‘The jormer are in charge of tne superiutenuent of the Treasury, und tbe fatter come under the appointment division, It is contemplated to consolidate both classes under tue superinten- lent, ———+e+____ The President to the fexas Sufferers.

The Capture of Chief Mang: Followers Campaigt Gen. Miles telegraphs to the War department thaton the 19th instant a detachment under Capt. Chas, L. Cooper, 10th cavalry, arrived at Fort Apache, having captured Mangus and his whole party, consisting of Mangus,two men, three squaws and five children, also twent: nine mules and five ponies, all of which were broughtin, They had been pursued by Second Lieut, Carter P. Johnson, 10th cavalry, and others through Chihuahua and southern New Mexico since September 7th. Gen, Miles in a Subsequent dispatch says that Mangus states that part of his band was captured by Mexi- cans and never heard from afterwards, and that this would seem to confirm other reports and give rise to a report that Mangus himself had been killed, Capt. Viele, commanding Fort Apache, states Uhat be believes that all that are lett of the Mangus party bave been captured, It will be remembered that Mangus aud his band, who were among the reuezade Apaches, disappeared last April, at the time wuen Geronimo ex- pressed a willingness to surrender to General Crook, but escaped before he had given up his Arms and been placed under military control. Nothing definite had been seen or heard of ‘Mangus since Lhen,and it was supposed that he had escaped Into Mexico, He was not with Ge- ronimo and it is not known that he committed any murders or rovberies since he disappeared. The capture of Mangus and the remnant of his band terminates the Apache campain, as 00 more of that tribe are known to ve on the war- path, —————_+e+ ____ THE DISTRICT ESTIMATES DISPUTE. A Treasury View of the Questions at Issue. Secretary Fairchild had not this morning re- ceived the reply of the District Commissioners to his letter asking for the estimates to be more in detail. The department will insist upon having the details. Judge Durham says there is no question as to the interpretation of the law, and it has never before been disputed. The act says: “Said Commissioners shall sub- mit to the Secretary of the Treasury, for the fiseal year, ending June 30,1879, and annually therealter, for his examination and approval, a@statement showing in detail the work pro- Posed to be undertaken by them during the fiseal year next ensuing, and estimated cost thereof.” When the law was first passed ‘there was a disposition on tho part of the Commissioners to disregard it, but the department promptly called them ‘to an ac count, and always utter that, up to the preseut time, the estimates have conie in in detail, aud theré bas been no question about it. tise tirely proper, Judge Durtain says, that the go erument, paging lait the money, suould kuow what streets are be improved, where school houses are to be built, and how many and what classes of teachers ‘are to be employed. All these things shuuld be Known and made public for the Iaiormation of the people. In the gov- ernment service estimates have to ve speciiic. So many clerks of one class, so many ol anotuer, so much tor this purpose and so muel for that, ‘There is no reasou, he thinks, why the District Commissioners should ve exempted trom this, and tue law specifically provides that they shall not be. AS W the statement of the Commissioners that they cannot possibly say upon Wuat site a scool 18 to be built, the judge says that the department does nol want them to doso. What is wanted Is that, the district in which tue School-house 1s tobe built shull be meutioned, so that it may, not Le left to the discretion of the Uommissiouers to put them allin one dis- trict, Judge Durbum. thinks, wo, that the school teachers should be ciussitied and esti- mated for according to the clws-ifleation. At resent the estimates ure forso much money Tora certuin number ef teachers atun average salary of $640, It is in tue discretion of we ‘Cominissioners to pay almost nothing toa large number of teachers and Immense salaries to oluers, so long as the average is kept balanced. ‘This policy was severely crilicised in the House appropriations commitiee last winter. ‘The Commissioners to Make Issue with the Treasury Department. ‘The letter which the District Commissioners will send to the Treasury department in an- swer to Mr. Fairchiid’s letter asking for de- tailed statements of work to be done, &c., in connection with the estimates will raise a question as to the construc.ion of the law prescribing how District estimates shall be made. The letter will probably uot be written, before to-morrow. Engineer Commissioner Ludlow, when asked about the matter by a STAB reporter this aiter- noon, said: “In the judgment of tae Commission- ers We nave alreauy complied with Lue law so jar as it is pragticable.” The law, he said, required them to submit Itemized estimates to the Secretary, witn the view of having bim Tevise thein, und then send the revised esti ates, togeiuer with the originals, to Cou- ress.” It Was maniiest tuat Congress intended to control the matter us they wanied tne Com- missioners’ originais as well as the Secretary's revision.” “#fuen,” said Col. Ludlow, “It ts impossible for us 10 comply Wilh this request. We need all the time between now and the assembling of Congress to determine What streets suouid be selected for improvement. We do not know how many schvol teacuers will be employed next year. That will depend upon the needs ot schools and Lhe appropriations, We caunot say now Where New scuool houses May be erected a eur and a half bence.
