RESULTS OF THE ATLANTIC STORM. Saslde Re ort Practically Wiped Out of Existence TervibU Experience of Teasels Caag-ht In th Oale Many Lives Lost. New York, Sept 11. Reports from along the Jersey shore show wrecks everywhere, there being sixteen between Barnagat lighthouse and Sandy IJook. All telegraphio communication with Fire Island was cut off yesterday, but the only damage done was to the plank walks. The water along the Kast and North rivers ! not so. high this mornicjr as it was at flood tide yesterday, bat many cellars and basements are still flooded, and business at the docks and along the water front is still being carried on under great difficulties. The Teasels at anchor along tho South-st. piers have the appearance of having passed through a veritable cyclone. The rigging of many of the crafts was torn into shreds and spars and masts were dismantled, while the waves beat with great fury against the vessels' sides, even as they lay at their piers. Only two vessels have come up to quarters since last nighL Thej are the new Morgan steamer Elmer, from New Orleans, and the Hamburg steamship California. The Elmer was detained twelve hours outside of the bar by the rough weather. The vessel enoountered the hurricane on the niht of the Oth inst. While there waa no serious damage sustained, things on board were made lively and the decks were lashed fore and aft, The California has on board a big load of immigrants. She reports that on Sept. 0 she encountered a hurricane blowing fresh from the west, shifting to north and working to east-northeast off the Georges bank's. It blew with terrific force from east-northeast. Continuing to port, arrived off the bar at 2 a. m., but could find no pilot boats nor station boats from which to take a pilot About 7 a. rathe steamship Anlauha, bound out, hove in eight ready to discharge the pilot. Capt. Bauer decided to launch his after port lifeboat, manned by Chief Officer Knutt and two seamen and pick up the pilot. The difficult task was successfully accomplished and the boat's crew started to put off for the California. A terrific sea was running at the time, and when getting under the stern of the California an immense wave curled up under the steamer's quarter, capsizing the life-boat. A desperate and terrible sight was then presented to the passengers and crew of the Cnlifornia four stout and brave men battling for their lives in the rough sea. Life-lines aud preservers were instantly thrown overboard to the struggling men, who were nearly exhausted and in danger of being swept away by the gigantic seas. Fortunately they all manacred to-' get lmid of the life-lines and were dragged on board. ON THE JERSEY COAST. Atlaatlo City Not So Mart a at First lie ported. Pitt la DEi.rin a, Sept, 11. Supt. Dayton, of the West Jersy and the Camden & Atlantic railroads, wa seen to-night, and was able to give a very favrabl report as to the condition of nfiairs at Atlantic City. When the tide receded this afternoon samj. of men made their way from Pleasantville aloio.t into Atlantic 7"it over the Camden A Atlantic railroad, vhich is the older and more solidly built line. Telegraphic communication was at the same time established to within a short distance of the water-bound city, und tho reports received hewed that place to be in much better shape than had been anticipated. Wild rumors had pained circulation here to the eC'ect that a conflagration was raging there. Mr. Dayton is informed that half a dozen shanties on the beach, near (ieorgta-nve., situated at the extreme end of the island, were destroyed by lire late last nitrht or early this morning. Thereport of the demolition of the board walk is confirmed, and the booths, pavilions and places f amusement located thereon were likewise destroyed. No other serious damage to property is reported, ami it is stated that there was do loss of life. A dispatch says: "Even the SShelbourne hote-1 was not damaged to any great extent" As the Shtlbourne is one of the most exposed houses at Atlantic City, this serves to indicate that the Jamaite cannot be very great. upt. I'ayton says there is now but one big washout on the Camden & Atlantic road between Pleasantville and Atlantic City, and as a large force of workmen are there it is expected that this break will be closed in four or five hours. Jlr. I'ayton declares that he will be able to run trains over this route to Atlantic City to-morrow morning unless the corning high tide, which is due alter midnight, inilict more damage, and this contingency is rather remote, f s the wind is reported to have shifted toward tiie northwest, w hich will have the licet of keeping the water down. On the West Jersey road the situation is more serious, and it will be at least three, days before the trains can be run over it between 1'Ieiisantville und Atlantic City. The Heading TJilroa' if also said to be in bad shape, and pome time must elapse before trains can be run, but with the Camden Atlantic in proper condition Atlantic City will be once more able to communicate with the outside world. An attempt was made this afternoon to run a Htsnicr from Vomers' Point to Atlantic ity, but owinir to the force of wind and waves, the attempt had to be abandoned. The railroad people will try again to-morrow to get this steamer over, and she will he utilized in transferring t) Atlantic City the people at tdaces along the ocean front south of there who have been cnt ofl by the washing away of the railroad tracks. 'ommunieation was also had indirectly this afternoon with Jea Isle City. Postmaster Chester, of that place, made his way to the main Innd, and reports things in very bad shape there. The sea wall, which wan bnilt to protect the place from the sea. has been dectroyed. About fifteen houses have been washed avay, including the new Xowland house, the Star houe, and the Shukspenre hotel. The Continental hotel, which is the largest and most imrortant hotel there, is ail rihtThe Excnrsion Joa-e, which is directly on the sea front, and the Surf house are said by Mr. Chester to be in danger of destruction to-nieht. The Townsend Iniet bridge, which is a very important structure, and one that it will be bard to replace, is reported to have been washed away. No accurate estimate of the damage to the railroad tracks can be made by the officials, owing to the meager telegraphic facilities available, but it is known that many miles have been carried Siway, and that weeks will be required to place the lines where they were before the storm. AT THE SUMMER RESORTS. Great Damage Done at Long II ranch. And Other Points. Los BRASCn. N.J. Sept. 11. This is the most severe and damaging storm that has isited this section of the New Jersey coast in the last fifty years. Here the surf ran so high that it washed the outer end of the great ocean pier and tossed its foam and spray two hundred feet inland. The bluffhas again been badly damaged, and it will cost fully 170,000 to repair it. The worst cut in the bluff is opposite the site of the old East End hotel, north of the J lote 1 Brighton. Here the surf has eaten half through Ocean-ave., and every assault of the angry waters makes the rap bigger. Down in front of the United States hotel there is a cut that extends into the roadway. There is a third one at N. Bath-ave. All along the ocean front the surf lias undermined the bluff, and to-night big chunks of dirt are falling down and being swallowed up by the boiling waters. The surf baa twisted several of the iron piles of the ocean pier out of shape aud torn off the railings at the sea end. Many of the hotel bathing-houses have been torn to piece and the beach pavilions of the cottagers have been undermined and swept away. The bij fence of Jesse Seligman, the New York banker, was blown down, as were also the ice-houses of the Elberon hotel. Many of the cottagers will have to build new bulkheads. Trees were blown down in all parts of the town and the shrubbery on the lawns of the cottage was torn np by the root. The entire lot of new bathing houses of James J I. Wooley at the front of the Howland hotel bluff were torn out and knocked into splinters in the surf. The telegraph wires are all down. At Seabright everybody was scared nesrly to death. A new inlet was out to the Shrewsbury

100 years ago. The cottages of George Wagden and A. F. Carpenter at Low Moor toppled into the sea.' Those of William A. Street and Col. W. L. Mrong will probably go. Those of Dr. E. IL Tubbs aud John Milton Cornell, are in a dangerous situation. The sea ran over into the river below the south end of the Octagon bouse and toppled over a cottage belonging to Esquire HowlaniL The brick walls of the new methodist episcopal church are a mass of rains. The beach is strewn with debris of all kinds. Several bodies have been seen floating in the surf, but no one could recover them. At Ocean Urove the big pavilions of Joseph Ross and Thomas W. Lillagoe have been badly racked. At Avon-by-the-Sca all the bathing houses and the beach pavilions have gone to pieces. At Asbury Park the damage consisted mostly of the sweeping away of the sand from the beach so as to leave Founder Dradley's t-ig board walk along the ocean front high up in the air. The Colonnade hotel has lost its roof and the rain is beating into the rooms. Nearly all the buildings owned by the Highland beach association are badly injured. Lkw es, Del, Sept. 12. No language can picture the terrible scene along the coast, The wind is blowing with almost hurricane fierceness, driving the rain with a force that cuts like hail. The half mile reach of sand between town and coast is a tossing, billowy ocean, bearing wreckage on every wave. Through the mist of spray 6torra-tattered sails and the naked mast of scores of deserted and dismantled vessels can be dimly seen. Since Monday night the storm has raged without abatement. Yesterday's dawn showed a hundred vessels which had caught the refuge of the breakwater. The refuge was insufficient. Uy 11 o'clock the sea broke over the breakwater, wrecked the telegraph station, carried away the big fog bell and pushed shoreward, sweeping away the steamboat piers and dashing the Italian bark 11 Salvatari ßjaint the iron government pier. The piers oi Ilrown & Co. and Leuce Bros, gave way and were swept to sea. The LT. S. marine hospital was dashed from its moorings and sent spinning down the beach. The Lewes life-saving station, forty feet above bih water mark, was Hooded and its foundation undermined. Hugh's grove, between the town an d bench, was submerged and its ltK) inhabitants fled for life, leaving all their possessions behind. The first boat came ashore at y a. m. Then came another and another. The life-saving station crew, reinforced by the llenlopen and Uehoboth crews, went to work and have labored almost uiiceasinely ever since. The crew of every vessel that struck was taken off by those darine men and not a life wa lost among the scores of men they handled. The following is a complete list of the vessels that came ashore: Italian bark H. frvdvatori, American schooner Henry M. Clark, Uritish schooner Byron M, American schooners Alena Covert, Gertrude Summers, O. F. Pecker, E. A I Pryen, Maud Leonard, Mina A. ltecd, Novena, Charles P. Stickney (total los), Addic II. Uacon, S. A. lludolpii, A. & E. Hooper, Emily R. Dwyer, J., I. Itobinson, American ship W. It. Orace American barge Timours, Danish bark Atlanta, American brig Richard J. Green, American schooner Maj. W. II. Tantum (total loss Kettie Champion, pilot noat T. F Hayard, barges Wallace and Tonawanda, and two others, names unknown. Also a vessel sunk oil the Urown shoals, with all the crew drowned except two, who pot ashore on a raft. Another vessel is ashore, in regard to which there is a dispute as to her being a bark or a three-masted schooner, as her top masts only can be discovered, as she is sunk on the shoals, it is not known whether her crew escaped. The total number of lives lot w ill probably exceed forty. AT ATLANTIC CITY.

A Day sntl Nig tit of Terror With No Hope of O.its'.ri Assistance. Piiil.APFi.rniA, Sept. 12 The first news from Atlantic City was brought to Pleasantville at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by live daring spirits, who foueht their way unaided through the surging sea that covered the meadows. The trip was a perilous one, and, during, the four hours they were battling with the waters, they met with many thrilling experiences. The party comprised a newspaper correspondent, residing in Atlantic City, and four others. They left Atlantic City at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and reached Pleasantville, a distance of seven miles, at .1 in the afternoon. They swam the deep cuts, crept cautiously over the swaying rail", supported only by the fish p!aU-s, forded tho rushing streams, anil, after many miraculous escapes, arrived at Pleasantville, drenched, bruised and exhausted, but happy at reaching the main land once again. Soon after reaching Pleasantville they secured a special train and enme up to this city, bearing the first authentic news of the situation at Atlantic City. They tell the following story of the attempt to run trains from Atlantic City : When Tuesday morning dawned the situation was alarming in the extreme. Property owners were early afoot to see to what extent the waves and wind had damaged their holdings. Then the hotel guests appeared, the women wrapped in shaw ls and gossamers, and the men clad in storm conts, cum boots and close-fitting caps. They looked, almost without exception, the abject terror they felt. They hurried to the railroad stations, as if their very lives depended on the alacrity of their movements. And once within these structures they did not heed the warnings of the experienced people who stood around. The meadows were Hooded and a safe passage, even as far as the drawbridge, was impossible, but they rushed pell-mell into the cars and actually forced the railroad men into making an attempt to reach the mainland. At the Camden & Atlantic and West Jersey station. Acent Young and Stationmaster Mikesner superintended the preparation of the outgoing trains, and at the Reading station Agent Winters and Yardmnster Metz performed similar service. All four looked as it they were unwilling to sanction such a perilous undertaking, and were it not for the cheerful assurances of both engineers and train crews, all experienced men, they would not have yielded to the pressure. So the heavily laden "storm special.-" left the two stations, followed by a fervent and heartfelt God speed fnn the crowds of people on the platforms. There were four trains in all, three from the Camden fc Atlantic station, and one from the Reading. Each had a locomotive in front and one iu the rear when they headed for the Hooded meadow land, and they crept alons- over the hidden tracks as if fearful of a fatal plunge. They all went out between the hours of band 9 in the morning, just as the high tide was nearing its full limit. The hurricane, too, was gaining in strength, and its lierce, sweeping gusts threw the water in volumes against the ear windows and made the heavy coaches rock to and fro as if in momentary danger of overturning. Hut long before the main land was reached the trainmen themselves began to realize the foolhardiness of their undertaking and decided upon a retrograde movement. Their engines were plowing through from two to four feet of water, which threatened every moment to put out the fires, and, as there was a regular sea ahead, there was no alternative but to return. So the engines were reversed and the trip back, now doubly hazardous because of the water's rise of several inches, was begnn. Hardly a furlong had been covered, however, when the fires were extinguished by the rusningtorrentsof water, which now dashed against the cars with terrific force, breaking the windows and completely enveloping the trains in sheets of spray. When it became known to the passengers that their trains were helpless and at the mercy of the rising waters, there was a scene of panic that beggars description. Women screamed and fainted, children cried and men pave way to the general despair. It was on'y when the conductors went from car to car and declared that relief engines had been telegraphed for that the frightened passengers became more hopeful. When the rescuers did come it tock a mighty effort to pull the trains over the sunken and twisted tracks, and it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the last train load of weary passengers was pulled slowly into the Camden fc Atlantic station. The fire created another panic, for it came when the frightened and nervous hotel guests were endeavoring to get a few hours' rest. It was a period of terror for thee people, and when they anxiously peered through their windows and saw the sky illuminated with the glare of fire, they sprang from their beds and rushed pell-mell to the lower floors, most of them in their night attire. The flames were close upon them and the strongest assurances had no quieting t fleet, A guest at the Manion house, where there were over Ü80 people, the greatest number being women and children, describes the midnight scene incident to the fire as follows: The women came rushing down stairs with blanched faces, wringing their hands aud crying as if the day of judgment had come. Outside banging shutters, creaking signs, the howling hurricane, the hiss and swish of the swaying trees, the rushing, banging fire entrines sad b seiLsral aotcwotitfo attaaiina s

fire at night struck terror into the hearts of those women, and they huddled together in the parlors and prayed and Robbed and listened to the consoling words of the men who knew full well the danger was still far oil. The fright of these people was not ended until the fire on the orf an terrace had consumed the wrecked bnildines. When the hich tide of Tuesday struck, the frnil dwellings along Mediterranean, Ilaltic and Arctic-aves., a stampede for life began. In one inntance a woman was carried by her two stalwart brother to a place of safety. In another a mother and lather, observing the first Inw of nature, self-preservation, deserted their babe iu the cradle, and on returning later in a boat found the little one dead. Men swam out from the flooded homes, bearing in their arms their babies, wives, mothers or sisters. Heats plied to and fro, carrying weeping women and terrified children from houses to high ground. No ellort was made to .ave personal property, so sudden aud unexpected was the terrible rise in the Hood on the meadows. Horses were drowed in their stables and chickens by the hundreds were drowned, and their bodies strewn all alon? the crows avenues. Dozens of houses were picked up bodily by the waves, thrown across the railroad tracks or carried squares away from their original location. Some of them were taken far out on the meadows and tossed around like corks. Iate on Tuesday night the shrill whistle of a steamer was beard above the roaring of the surf, he came ashore opposite Arkansas-nve., and her signals of distress were promptly responded to by the crew of the Atlantic City life saving station. They hurried along the beach with their apparatus, but the great waves made any attempt at rescue impossible. The colored steward jumped overboard and was washed ashore in a dazed and exhausted condition. Capt. Howe n is of the opinion that the steamer went to pieces during the night, and that her crew perihed in the angry sea. Firebuckets aud a water-cask were found on the beach this mornine, inscribed with the name "rhiladoux," and there is but little doubt that they belong to the ill-fated steamer. It will take months for Atlantic City to recover from the loss the storm has caused. The wind still blows at the rate of thirty-five to forty miles an hour, and it is still raining. The beach tides have not been large, and, consequently, are unaccompanied by further damage. The meadows are still three and four feet under water. The damage to road-beds of the railroad companies is worse than was at first anticipated. Three or four foolhardy people reached here to-day from Pleasantville. They walked to the big railroad tower, where the principal washout is, w hen they swam and did the "hand-over-hand" act on the loose rails. One or two people started from here for l'leasantville, under the impression that thev might catch trains for Philadelphia. How they succeeded is not known. It was a perilous journey. GETTING AWAY. People at tha Hummer Kesorts Leaving In Crowds. PuiLAnELPiirA. Sept. 13. The trains over the Camden & Atlantic road to and from Atlantic City are running on schedule time to-day and with the exception of an hour's delay in crossing the meadows are running on time. The exodus from the seashore is great. The train which left Atlantic City at G:" this morning consisted of seven cars, all heavily loaded. The one which left at 7:30 brought the same number of cars, and following the two early trains was one of two sections which left Atlantic City at 8 :30 a. ra. It consisted of sixteen cars, all heavily loaded w ith passengers. The run across the meadows was easy, compared to that made by the first train yesterday. The water has almost entirely subsided and the roadbed is clean. Until this morning no definite idea of the damage to the West Jersey road could be gained, but as the mist clears away and the spray disappears it is seen that the road bed is in terrible shape. Possibly the Heading road, taking the entire stretch into consideration, is the most completely wrecked, but as far as the work of repairs is concerned the West Jersey will need as much attention. Tho West Jersey officials dispatched heavy repair trains to the scene of the disaster yesterday, aud will push the necesssry repairs to a speedy completion. The Reading road has also several hundred men actively at work on the meadows. The mails all along the New Jersey and Delaware coast, which had been accumulating since Monday la-it, owing to the trains being detained, commenced arriving at the postoffice yesterday afternoon and were very large. This morning another large batch came up from Atlantic City, Absecom, Ocean City, Seagrit, Pleasantville and iea' Island City, the latter being the first to arrive from that point since the storm set in, and consisted of nearly twenty pouches, home of the mail matter, particularly that from Sea Island City, was in very moist condition, on account of being carried some distance on boats through the storm.

In dictating an exercise read the sentences in the natural way, not as a clock ticks, but as they would be delivered by a public speaker, allowing the intervals to occur between clauses rather than between words. When the members are not equally advanced, those who can do so may write each sentence or word dictated twice or three times, or oftener, instead of once only.

14 TANNER IS FORCED OUT. HE RETIRES UNDER A VERYHOT FIRE. The Subject of the Cummtntioiirinhlp the Principal Topic of ConversationNoble Would Have (lone If Tanner Had Not. Washington, Sept. 11. President Harrison has received the resignation of James W. Tanner as commissioner of pensions. In his letter conveying the resignation it is snid the commissioner writes that he recognizes that diflerences exist between himself and the secretary of the interior respecting the administration of the pension bureau, and those differences being radical, in the interest of a thoroughly satisfactory administration of the ofiice, he should resign. WAPlllN'fiTON, Sept. 11. The crisis in the relations between Secy. Noble and Pension Commissioner Tanner, which, according to the former, had been reached to-day, continues without settlement at a late hour to-night. Upon the best authority it may be said that the commissioner has not been removed nor has his resignation been requested by the president. The same authority says, what has been patent for some time, that serious differences have arisen between Secy. Noble and Commissioner Tanner over questions concerning the administration ot the pension bureau, I but not in any wise affecting the commissioner's

personal character, in the sense oi imputing any corruption in his acts. This some authority conceded that these matters related principally to reratings of the pensions of employes and officials of the bureau and others, and to certain statements credited to the commissioner in interviews and speeches. That is the position of affairs to-night, but when the authority quoted was asked if it would probably remain so, he declined to commit himself, saving he had no intention of entering the field of prophecy. The air has been fall of surmises and rumors all day respecting the case of Commissioner Tanner, but the unanimous opinion is that a change in the office is imminent. The commissioner has not been at the office to-day, having spent the morning at his home, iu Georgetown, and most of the afternoon at the white house, in consultation with the president and Secy. Noble. The secretary is reported to have said that the president must decide which one of the two he will retain in his present position, the commissioner or himself, but he will not talk of the matter to newspaper people, and the commissioner at this time is equally non-communicative. i'irst Deputy Commissioner Smith has been in charge of the office to-day, but whether by especial designation of Secy. Noble or simply in the absence of the commissioner, cannot be stated definitely. In all the excitement over the matter, the lips of officials directly connected therewith seem to be sealed. Since yesterday morning the disposition of the case has been under advisement at the white house.. Secy. Noble has had several conferences with the president, and Secy. Tracy, who is generally accepted as Commissioner Tanner's friend and advocate, has had as many hearings, but what is the result of them all has not been declared. It is generally believed that the principal topic of discussion at these conferences was what to do with Mr. Tanner, in case a change shall be made in the oftice of commissioner of pensions. Two appointments have been discussed in this connection outside of the ofiicial circular U. S. marshal for the southern district of New York and register of the treasury. The first, it is said, Commissioner Tanner can have if he leaves the pension bureau, without doubt. As to the other office, President Harrison is quoted as saying that he had no intention of removing Gen. Rosecrans. It is said to-day, however, that the president was ignorant until yesterday of the fact that Gen. llosecrans is drawing two salaries from the government, one as register of the treasury, and one as brigadier-general. The gentlemen who mentioned this to him says that the president was much surprised at learning it. The ofiice of marshal pays $3,500 and that of register $4,000. Mr. Tanner is reported as being very reluctant to return to Brooklyn. With the rumors of a change in the bead of the pension bureau has come discussion of the possible successor to Commissioner Tanner. Senator Hiscock is credited with pushicg the claims of I '.t-Pension Agent Poole of Syracuse for the place. Ex-Got. Foster of Ohio, who was alleged to have originated the scheme to provide for Commissioner Tanner by making him register of the treasury, is said to be supporting Gen. Charles Urown of Cincinnati, who was a prominent candidate for appointment with Tanner. It is the general impression that New York will not again be favored if a change is made. At the pension buieau the rumors concerning the tenure of the commissioner have had a disquieting effect, naturally, and a speedy settlement of the controversy is essential to good administration of the office. One report to-night was that President Harrison had advised Commissioner Tanner to resign. Oen. Alger, commander-in-chief of the Children Cry for

G. A. R. ; Gov. Foraker of Ohio and Commander Wilson of Kansas are all said to have telegraphed Tanner, urging him not to resign. These messages, together with the inlltience of his wife, are said to have been instrumental in holding the commissioner beck from following the advice of the presideut. Mrs. Tanner is reported to have said that if her husband resigned the office of commissioner of pensions, she would choose to take in washing rather than that he should accent the oliice of V. S. marshal for New York. To-night a committee of Ci. A. K. of the district, headed by Gen. S. S. Uurdette, ex-commander-in-chief, called at the white house to see the president in behalf of the commissioner of pensions, but it was after he had retired. He sent word that he would be glad to see them in the morning. Several . A. R. friends spent the evening w ith the commissioner, but they declined to say w hat, if anything, was the result of their conference. Tho commissioner steadily denied himself to newspaper men. Senator Frank Hiscock entertained VicePresident Morton and Secy. Tracy at his hotel to-night. The pension coinniissioncrship, it is believed, formed the principal topic of conversation. Secy. Noble was averse to saying anything on the subject for publication. He did say, however, that, aside from the official correspondence in the case, President Harrison had written a letter to the commissioner conveying in cordial terms his esteem for Mr. Tanner. "And I am glad he did so, too," continued Secy. Noble. Reference was made to the published statements of an unfriendly feeling between the secretary and commissioner. Mr. Noble said that there had been no break in his personal relations with Mr. Tanner and that there was nothing personal in the causes which led to the severance of their official relations. The secretary said it was entirely due to a difference of opinion in regard to matters of official administration. The secretary called attention to a letter received this morning from Secy. Tracy in which he desired Secy. Noble to contradict the report of the interview which is said to have taken place at the white house. Secy. Noble said that the story of a wrangle between himself and Secy. Tracy was made out of whole cloth and was true neither in word nor thought. He added that the same cordial relations existed between himself and Secy. Tracy as between the other members of the cabinet. Commissioner Tanner so far has made no plans tor the future. He will continue to live in the district for some time. He has a lease for a year of the residence in Georgetown which he now occupies, and it is furnished with furniture which be brought from his home in Rrooklyn. Speaking about the Tanner case to-day, Private Secy. Ilalford said: "You know the president is not a believer in much talk, and I don't like to say anything about the pension office, but there are one or two misstatements that ought to be corrected. No issue was ever made by Secy. Noble to the president as to whether he or Mr. Tnnner should go. Next, there was never any formal cabinet consultation about the matter, and there was no disagreement whatever among the members, much less any exchange of incivilities. The president had. several times during the summer, made suggestions to Mr. Tanner which " he hoped would have a good effect, as he leels very kindly toward him personally. The question was not at all in the president's mind whether one of two persons should go." Washington, Sept 14. The Star says that the president tendered the pension commissionershin to Maj. William Warner this morning and that the latter has taken the matter under consideration, with the chances in favor of his declining it on the ground that he cannot afford to surrender his present business engagements. In conversation with a reporter this afternoon Maj. Warner intimated that he had not yet reached a conclusion in the matter. The impression in Washington is that the matter will be settled by the president during the coming week, and that the appointment, when decided upon, "will be first announced at Deer Park. The preparation of the commission is a matter of the merest routine, and will require very little time. The president is supplied with a blank form which can be filled in and signed as soon as the appointment is determined upon. THE G. A. R. Many Posts Are 'tallying to Jim" Tanner's Support. Washington Special. The G. A. R. brethren all over the country are sending telegrams to Tanner, and here are some examples: At a meeting of old soldiers at Garden City. Kas., on Tuesday, the secretary was instructed to send the following dispatch to Tanner: "Eighty-two thousand republican majority in Kansas demands your retention in office. Hold the fort, for we are coming! The loyal sentiment is with you." The G. A. R. post at Dnluth, Minn., telegraphed the corporal : '"Don't surrender to the brigadiers; the G. A. II. is with you. You are doing right. Don't be bulldozed." From Lynn, Mass., comes the following greeting to the corporal: "Bully for you, Jim. You are doing exactly right and if Harrison interferes with yoti he'll hear from us." From Greeley. Col., is the following: "The survivors of the Uuion army in this vicinity congratulate you on your splendid administration of the pension office. We can not believe that President Harrison will dispense with you. If he does, we will see him later." From Chattanooga, Tenn., the corporal received this message:. "The G. A.

St. Louis Republic lie is sacrificed now, not because he has changed in any wsy either in his charneter, his purposes, or his methods since he had the open indorsement of President Harrison and Secy. Noble, but because it had become necessary to repudiate him, and with him the previous indorsement, in order to suve the administration from consequences which it was not willing to face, in view of the recent debt statement, to be followed so closely by the assembling of congress. It is a cowardly and pitiless desertion of a man whose naturally light head had been turned by the notion that be whs the chosen instrument for the furtherance of a great cause a cause w hich had been sanctioned by his party in its platform pronouncements, and indorsed by his official superiors after he had entered upon the work which he supposed himself placed there to do.
