Long Branch. Sept. LIT is impossible to tell
what the less caused by the storm along this
section will foot up. The famous bluff has been
severely damaged all the way from North Long
Branch to Elberon. There the surf did not de-
stroy the bluff, it cut under il, so that it will
undoubtedly soon fall into the sea. The biggest
gap torn in the bluff is above the pier opposite tho
place where the old East End Hotel formerly
stood. Here the surf has eaten its way half
through Ocean-ave., the famous driveway of Long
Branch. At the foot of Morrisave. there is another
big cut.
Opposite the Rowland Hotel still another wide
slice has been eaten out OF the bluff. The blun
pavilion of the hotel was undermined. 1t th.eat-
ened to 90 down into the surf 1t has been moved
back out of harm's way. Some of the bath
houses Of Hildreth's West End Hotel and Leland's
Ocean Hotel have been torn out. The rest have
been taken apart and pulled up over the edge of
the bluff. In 'front.' OF the United States Hotel
the bluff is crumbling away beneath the assaults
of the surf, and the sea will undoubtedly eat its
way into the road. All Of the new bathrhouscs

big fence around the barn of Jesse Seligman, tho
New-York banker. The wind blew down the ice

THE PENSION OFFICE.
COMMISSIONER TANNER PROBABLY TO
RETIRE.
INCoMPATIBILITY BETWEEN HIM AND sEcKh
TARY NOBLE THE CAUsE-No CHANGE
IN THE ADMINISTRATIONS
PENSION POLICY.
tBr TELEGRAPH To THE c-"rBUykl

Washington Sept 11.-There is reason to believe
that the resignation of Commissioner Tanner has
been placed in the hands of the President, and
that il will be accepted. This action does not
mean that there is TO be any change of policy by
the Administration in respect to the fair nterpre-
tation of the pension laws as they exist. Inc
President stands by everything that lie has sald
in that regard and it probably will be found
when he comes to speak officially Oh the subject
that he is ready to recommend such changes of
the pension laws as will perfect and even eA-
tend their application.
That there has been serious friction between
the Commissioner and the Secretary of the Interior
has been we'll known for several months 1t seems
to have reached such point as to confuse anu
embarrass the administration Of the Pension
Bureau There is the best reason to believe that
neither the President nor the Secretary of the IN
terror desires in any way to reflect upon the zeal
or honesty of Commissioner Tanner. If any crit
icism should be made it would be that the strength
of his sympathy has provoked utterances which,
coming from an Officer could be used TO his official
detriment.
To sum up the whole matter, therefore. is to
say: First that there is serious incompatiblhW
between thet Commissioner and the Secretary;
secondly; that there is no desire OR intention to
change the policy of the Administration; thirdly:
that the President will accept the retlrement oil
Commissioner Tanner; and fourthly, that Com
missioner Tanner will voluntarily and cheerfully
retire in the interest of harmonious admlHS ny
tration of the Pension Bureau. or course ME
Tanners retirement from Office soon after ac-
ceptng it is a disappointment TO him ana mat
ter of regret to his friends .L..o
This story may not he so sensational as those
which declare that Commissioner Tanner has been
suspended that he has been removed, ana th3S ti
his resignation has been fiercely demanded; all
of which happen to be untrue.
