Daniel Manning was born tn Albany, August 16,1831, His father died a few years after his birth, leaving his widow, sou, and daugh- ter unprovided for. When nine years old Daniel began toearn his own living as an errand boy in the office of the Atlas, which was afterward merged into the Argus, afd it was there that he acquired all his education and experience, Politics ‘was the principal business of the Argus, and the voy took to it naturally. Mr. Wa. J. Cassidy, the owner of the Argus, Was not slow in discovering the pecullar talents of his errand boy, and made him a reporter before ne was fifteen years old. Manning acquired im this post Yon an exteusive acquaintance with public men, as the Argus ¢ was then the headquarters of the Nort democracy. | All through the war he reported the proceedings of the New York sen te, and all political conventions of importance held In the state of New York. Being thrifty and economical, he managed not only to Support his mother and Sister, but also to acquire a little competency, so that he could become a sharenolder in the Argus Co. when Cassidy, at the Ume of the lose of the war, consolidated ais paper with the Adas and turned his business fato a Stock company. Manning then became eity editor of the Aruus and a prominent figure !n local poit- ties. At the death of Cassidy, in 1871, Manniny became the manager of the Argus company, an took an active part in the management of the Commercial National Bank. Mr. Manning Was a member of the democratic stace convention of 1874 that nominated Samuel J. Tilden for governor, and in 1876 a member of thé St. Louis convention which nominated Mr. Tilden for President, That year he Decaiue a member of the New York state central comini.ise,in waich he Was considered as authorized to speak for Mr. Tilden. Becoming chairman of that vody in 1882, he espoused the cause of Cleveland with great vigor. He was warmly taterested im the nomina ton Of Cleveland in Chicago in 1884, and showed reat skill in handling the New York delegation in the convention. Mr. Manning was a member of the New York democratic state cominittee from 1876 to the election of President Cleveland, He Was its secretary In 1878 and 1880, and its chair man tn 1881, 1882 aud 1883. The New York state delegations to the national democratic conven- Uons of 1876 and 1880 and 1881 Were controlled by Mr. Manning, aud by the enforcement of the unit Tule at Clicazo he was enabled for the third time to give the solid vote of the state delegation to the man of his chotce. Cleveland, upon taking office in March, 1885, called Mr. Manuiing to his cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. Over-application to duty, combined, it was said, with an accident on March 24, 1886, ed to the iitness from which he never recovered, ‘The accident was caused by spraining his ankle and falling down a flight of stairs in the Treasury Dullding. “It was hoped for some months that the Secretary would be enabied, with rest, to return to his oMicial duties, but toward the end of May he laced his resignation in the hands of the Presi- jent. He accepted a suggestion from the Prest- dent, however, to let his resignation remain over until his leave of absence should expire. Assistant Secretary Fairchild was requested to act as Secre- tary until that time, and consented to do so. Soon after October 1, 1886, the Secretary returned to his daties at the’ Treasury, somewhat tmproved in health, and apparently In good spirits. ‘The improvement, unhappily, did not long continue, and at the end of March last he tinally retired, his peremptory resignation having been tendered ‘and accepted on February 14, and Mr. Fairchild was permanently instalied as his successor. In the meanwulle the Western National Bank, New York city, Was in process of organization, and on the 14i0 of June of this year Mr. Manning took his place as president of ‘the institution, to which he ad been elected some mouths previously. A jour- ney to Europe ad a long rest apparently refreshed his shattered constitution. Mr. Manning was twice married. His first wife, Miss Mary Little, he married in 1853, She died in iss2, and on November 19, 1884, he married Miss May’ Margarita, Fryer, of Albany. He has four children—Jas. Hilton ‘Manning, who recently be- came managing editor of the Argus; Frederick linton Manuing, a statiouer in Albany; Mrs. Delehanty, of Aibany, and Miss Mary Manning. Born a Catholic, he ‘gradually drifted into the Episcopal Church, of which his first wife was a member, and bothof his sons, who hold important positions on the Argus, belong to this denomina- Uon. His daughter, however, has remained a Catholic. coo ‘The Western Cold Snap. I? EXTENDED SOUTH INTO MEXICO—AN EXPLANATION OF THE COAL SHORTAGE. ‘The cold weather in the West extended as far south as Galveston and the Rio Grande, and even for some distance into Mexico, Galveston was yesterday covered with a coat of ice. The cold began to moderate yesterday, and last night a Kansas City dispatch said: “Encouraging reports are coming in from the West, which go far to remove the impression that there 1s extreme suffer- tng In Kansas from lack of food and fuel. Waile there have undoubtediy been isolated cases of death from exposure and instances of individual suffering from scarcity of provisions or coal, there 18 no doubt that (he Condition of affairs has been exaggerated.” CAUSES OF THE COAL SHORTAGE. Col M. Quigg, general manager of the Atchison’s coal business, said at Topeka yesterday: “In the last three years there have been constructed about 3,000 | miles of ratiroad in Kansas, and I belteve scarcely @ mile of this passed a coal field or has contributed tothe coal supply. On the line of these newly- constructed roads hundreds of towns have been bullt. These towns are occupied by thousands upon thousandsof people from abroad, and milis and facvries have been estabiisved, every one of Which requires the consumption of certain amount of fuel, but not one contributes In any Way to its production. At the present time there are no statistics attainable that would correctly show the increase of population in Western Kan- sas quring the present Year, but it 1s safe to say that It has beea much “beyond anything in the past history of the state. "Generally in years past Kansas has been favor ed with a uful corn crop, and ‘his was in many cases used by the people as @ substitute for coal, Dut Unis year the corn crop was almost an entire failure. Our company began early last sum- mer to take steps to increase its output of coal bat to accomplish this many miles of railroad tg be constructed and mining machinery and erected. In all of this the usual delays had to be encountered. Notwitnstanding the dimcu.- ties that had to, be met, the Atchison Company in- creased its production 29 per cent in the frat ven months of the present year. The first cold wind of ast monch brought a host of tunsuppited people to the coal producers in a bunch. Of course, tne foal producers could not supply any such and sudden demand, nor could it be expected that Taliroads could furnish oa such short notice an equipment sufficient to move it, even if tt couid be produced.’ Some Rich Gils for the Pepe.

Preservation of the Chesapeake and Onte Canal, ‘THE BIG MEETING AT aD ADDRESSES IN FAVOR OF FEDERAL AND STATE AID FOR MAINTAINING THE COMMERCIAL STATUS OP THE caNaL. ‘The large attendance at the meeting of persons interested tn the preservation of the Chesapeake and Obio Canal, held at Cumberland, yesterday, showed how Important the matter was held to be, The large council chamber was not large enough tohold them. @he president of the canal union, Mr. Patterson, called the meeting to order, and an- nounced the following officers: President, R»pre- sentative L. E McComas; first vice-president, James Findlay, of Williamsport; second, Hon. Wm. Walsh; secretaries, Alexander Flurer, John T. Edwards and W. F. Cowden. STATE AID FIRST; THEN AN AFPRAL TO CONGRESS. Before the resoutions were offered Mr. McComas made a short speech, urging the importance of preserving this valuable waterway. He sald that the days of canals were not yet over. “The fear that the rafiroads are reaching out for the canal should incite the people of Western Maryland to hold fast to that which had been make asuccess of the canal, It should be put in the hands of @ non-partisan canal commission. ‘The canal had been in politics long enough. A poittical administration had beea hurtful enough. There Was no virtue in it. The only administration that will be of any use is one of business men ac- quainted with business methods, Who will work it upon a Dusiness basis, ‘The state,” he said, “could take up by purchase the repair bonds ‘and put them in the stnking-fand, This would afford time; and in the course of two legislatures a plan couic be adopted to ald this important work. Con, has thus far confined its aid to rivers and har! and has thus far excluded canals, unluckily for our movement. It 1s my belief that you should secure by legislation and constitutional amend- ment state aid, and then go to Col we would have a right to say that Maryland and Con- gress co-operated at the birth of the canal, and can then ask the co-operation of Congress. After securing legislative help, I believe there 1s hope for national aid to the canal. Tcannot too much {nsist On tts order of procedure.” ‘THE RESOLUTIONS. Resolutions were offered with a preamble reciting as reasons for the preservation of the canal that it fills a prominent place in the development of the industries of Maryland and the District of Colum- Dia; that {t furnishes a means of cheap transport ation, important to commerce and of value to agri- culture; that the facilities of tion which this cagal furnishes between the city of Cumber- land, Md.,and the District ot Columbia, and all other points the Potomac River, ate indis- pensable to the highest development of the west- ern portion of the state of Maryland, the District of Columbla, and the portions of the states of Vir- ginia and West Virginia that border upon the eee ee ee ee in the development agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and mercantile interests of the (states Ot | Maryland, | Vinginia, | West Virginia, and the Distt o lumbia in “thelr interstate commercial relations; that a debt of $500,000 falling due January, 1 threatens the foreclosure of Hens and the sale o the canal, thereby destroying its usefulness and greatly iojuring, if not permanently destroying, the industrial development of the country throug! which it 1s constructed and the District of Coluin- Dia, its eastern terminus; that the National Gov- erament, directly Interested in the maintenance ot the said canal, thasmuch as itis a stockholder in the same to the extent of $2,500,000, and also ‘through its governmental ‘supervision of the city of Georgetown, in the District of Columbia, which Possesses valuablo water rights that can be made yield many thousands of dollars in annual rev- enile to said canal; also valuable real estate, now all under lease, whilcn az present yields a fair rev- enue, and could be utilized to a far greater extent by vigorous management; beside the great aid de- rived by the General Government fron Its control and utilization of sald important waterway during the war between the states, by which it was en- abled to transport vast military supplies to its armies stationed the Upper Potomac, and to receive thousands of of coal from the mines Of George's Creek to supply its numerous and powerful naval armament, ‘The resolutions are as follows: “1. That tn pro- moting the interstate commerce of ‘the country, the true policy of the national or General Govern: ment is Lo foster, protect aud improve, as far ag practicable, all ‘aruficial waterways that are of Sufficient importance and extent to partake of in terstate character. 2. ‘That the highest consider- ation of public policy, as well as a reasonable solicitude in the interests of interstate commerce and industry, and the public welfare of the states of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis- trict of Coluimbia all fmperatively demand that a movement looking to the obtaining of state and national ald in mairtatuing the present and future commercial status of the Chesapeake and ‘Onto Canal be instituted and vigorvusly prosecuted unuil crowned with success. 3. ‘That the chairman Of this meeting be and he 1s hereby empowered to appoint two comuittees, of twenty men each—one Wwatvend to the present session of Congress and tnvoke national aid for sald canal, and te other to proceed to Annapolis and attend the coming session of the legislature and. urge upon it the Lm- erative necessity of extending such state aid to Said Water-way agit lawfully can; and algo, that the executive committee of the “Canai Union of Maryland’ ts hereby authorized to act in conjunc on with the above-named committees, and our Representatives in the Congress of the United States and in the legislature are respectfully re- quested to use their peraonal and official influence 1m beualf of the sald cause.” ‘The resolutions were adopted. MR. WALSH'S ADDRESS, Hon. Wm. Walsh then addressed the meeting. He said that what the state can do 1s to make ap- Propriations for seven or elght years ot $30,000, tne interest on the bonds to be paid to the canal if the canal require it. “I believe the canal will not re- quire it, but this additional appropriation should be made and placed upon the statutes, vo inspire confidence. So far as{ know, no railroad wants the canal. I think it fF toinake this statement. ‘Tne canal should be maintained as a canal and for no other purpose, and until the experiment of run- ning @ canal and’ raliroad side by side have been fully vested I will not change my opinion.” Mr. Spates approved of Mr. Baughman’s idea of pull- ing the canal out.of dimicuity, and considered it Une only means feasibie. He favored the appoint- ment of @ committee to go to Annapoils in Janu- Ary Lo get the Dili passed for the relief of tne canal, after Wuich he Wanted the details regarding the indebtedaess of the cana} and how it was used. ‘The chair appointed Messrs.
