sIspEc1AL TO THE SENTINEL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Presldent Ar
thur has requested the resignation OF
First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner.
This is the most significant act of his adj
min~istration. Since the beginning of
Garfield's administration to the I'd of July,
Postmaster-G General James had exerted all
his influence to obtain the dismissal Of
Tyner. Up to July LIST it had been unsuc-
cessful. On that nay he told a near friend
that until Tyner was removed there wonld
be little hope Of success of the star route
prosecutions. In his efforts to remove
Tyner, the Postmaster General had the
warm support Of Acknowledgement Mac
Weigh, but had to combat the luke-warm-
ness Of all the other Cabinet officers, in
addition to the pronounced opposition Of
Secretary Blaine. 1t is safe to say that
upon this question the Cabinet Of Presi-
dent Garfield was very nearly wrecked.
On tho day before the shooting OF the
President, Mr.. James was encouraged to
believe that Tyner would be removed, and
decided to be one Of an excursion party
which was to leave the Baltimore and
Potomac depot on Sunday, July 2, mainly
for the purpose Of encouraging 1t by his
presence and influence. Guiteau's shot
prevented it, and it is still doubtful which
OF these influences would have proved vic
torious. 1t is believed that if James had
returned from that trip, still hampered as
he believed himself to be by Tyner's pres
ence as his first assistant, he would have
resigned, and with him would have gone
the Acknowledgement. As soon as it was
possible to do so, James opened the sub
ject to Arthur, and in conformity with the
Presidents request that he should remain
at least to finish the star route business, ii
has always been made the sine qua non
that he would not stay If Tyner did. Ar
thur was naturally disinclined to act. The
political effect was deemed OF importance.
Tyner T. strong in Indiana. and has
welded the entire patronage Of the Post
Office Department since 1875. Hehas
hosts of friends in every State and Terri
tory. and his hold on Senators and Repre-
sentatives for past favors, and for those
expected. is not exceeded by any person in
the Govern ment service. Nevertheless,
Arthur decided to remove him, but not
until he had thoroughly investigated the
facts.
A Great Cometary Eruption.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 1s.-Professor Klein,
in a published letter, says: II have for
several weeks past observed . singular phe-
nomenon in the heavens in the shape of Q
comet or comets, attended with nine small
Ter ones, all in q circle, closely resembling
one Of Saturn's rings. They all appear to
be connected, as they move in the same
orbit. As 9 large or double comet will at
regular intervals eclipse smaller ones, and
q little n is lost sight OF in the mist thus
created. Ihave no doubt this is the comet
Of 1S45-46. supposed to have been de-
stroyed, that now appears to us in this
singular shape, and attended with numer-
GUS satellites, which by some Of the wonder
full processes Of nature were undoubtedly
thrown from its nucleus, but not with suf-
ficient force to get beyond its attraction,
and are therefore resting on an original
ring like the nucleus, which has undoubt-
eddy been rent asunder by q great comet
airy eruption, and gathered again In its
present shape. This. too, I believe to be
the comet Of 1911, having been lost for q
period Of ~thirty-ave years. Aside from
this wonderful comet, or rather eleven
comets, there are Ave others now visible"
Opposed to Dudley for Pension
Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Ex-SenAtor Nc
Donald is here to fight the confirmation Of
Dudley for Pension Commissioner. He
charges that Dudley exceeded the duties
Of his Office a. United States Marshal In
the last Presidential campaign. He pros
tituted his Office for political purposes, ap-
pointing 662 deputies In Indianapolis and
elsewhere to work for the Republicans.
These deputies were politicians. McDon-
aid expects to combine the Democrats
against Dudley. Other Democrats allege
that Dudley discharged several faithful
and competent Democrats from the PEN
sion Bureau because Of their politics. The
fight is likely to become o party question,
and Dudley's confirmation depends on
Davis vote. His friends and opponents
are equally confident.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-Hon. Ben. But
terworth, in q speech before q meeting Of
Irishmen last evening. to give expression
70 their views in regard to the arrest Of
Parnell. took the position that Parnall
was in the field Of debate for the lawful
purpose of securing better legislation,
and his arrest would not hurt his cause.
The resolutions adopted advised GOODNESS
and elaboration. and keeping within the
lines Of peaceful, uns werving resistance.
A cablegram was sent, saying: Ten thou
sand freemen in Cincinnati greet the i'm
prisoned Parnell. Let the people be cool
and determined.
