IT was stated ON the 18th, apparently
by authority, that the President had de-
handed the resignation of First Assistant
Postmaster-G General Tyner. 1t Is known
That Postmaster General James has all along
desired to displace Tyner with some one
more in sympathy with the Star-route pros
ecutions, and that Attorney General Mac
Veagh added his influence in the same d.
rection; but adverse counsels prevailed In
the Garfield Cabinet and prevented the
change being made. Frank Hatton, of the
Burlington Hd,ckeye, is named as the prob
able successor Of Tyner.
