SAN Francisco, Oct. 21.-The steamer
City of Picking arrived Friday night

the sea had risen several feet
above ordinary high tide, and just
after nightfall the waves mounted
to great height, washing away the
embankment and leveling the buildings
near the shore. Shortly afterward
wave fifteen feet higher than those that
had preceded it rolled in with a great
roar, washing away the remaining por-

A QUESTION OF AUTHORITY.
why Secretary Noble Dispensed with
Tanners Serv ices.

why Secretary Noble Dispensed with
Tanners serv ices.
WASHINGTON, Oct 10 Secretary Noble
has made public copies OF his letter of
July last TO the then Commissioner of
Pensions Tanner, ordering an investiga-
ton into the workings OF the Pension Office.
The letter IS a very lengthy document 1t
shows what generally has been under
stood all along. that the trouble
between Noble and Tanner originated
in question of authority Tan
ner claimed that the Secretary of the In
terror only had power to reverse the decis-
ions of the Pension Commissioner when he
had decided against an applicant for pen
sion, but had not the power to call
a halt or reduce the pensions granted
by the Commissioner, and that the Vice
Commissioner only could do this.
Secretary Noble disagreed with this and
quoted the law to maintain his point
After dispOsing of this question the Secre-
tary takes up the cases Of ten employees Of
the Pension Office. who we're drawing
salaries ranging from sl6J0 to 5000
per annum, each of whose applica-
ton for re-rating Tanner had made
special and granted. besides arrearages
aggregating in all Sl7O00 Score
tary Noble upbra.ds Tanner for making
these cases special and that too, in adj
vance of hundreds of thousands of pen
sioners who really needed pensions and
had no Government positions TO support
them He then takes up each case sep
arately and shows wherein they were not
entitled to Terating. In ConclutiOn he
states that he had ordered an investigation,
in order to get at the true history of Pen.
sion Office methods.
