THE STORM STILL HERE.

Ine great storm was very disappointing and
Its cratic movements, or rather its lack of

a provoking persistence to the North Carolina
coast, where it was this morning. So the
weather man made the following remarks ON
his map.
There has been no change in the position Of
the storm on the Atlantic coast The storm
center is at Norfolk, where it has been since
Tuesday morning. High northeasterly winds
still prevail on the New England coast. with
maximum velocity Of "a miles an hour at Boz
ton and 81 miles at Block Island The
velocity at Block Island this morning was IS

coasts the winds are blowing from Is to 80 miles
an hour from the northwest High winds will
continue during the day The following heavy
rainfails were reported: New York city, 4. S6

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ooLuxbrA
and adjacent regions the prediction is for rain.
stationary temperature, northerly winds. A
special prediction was issued this morning for
Baltimore for continued cloudy weather and
rain.

stated to be the intention Of Mrs. Langtry to
compel the British public to acknowledge the
talent which has gained such substantial
recognition in the United States To this end
it is understood, she has disposed Of the
greater portion OF her property across the
Atlantic and will show the Londoners

The BALTIMORE Purs OUT IN THE STORM
The cruiser Baltimore started off from Phila-
delphia on her trial trip at II o'clock yesterday
in a chilly, drizzling rain. The wind had fallen,
but occasionally drove the rain in gusts in the
faces Of the officers on deck. The storm at sea
may modify the plans, but the intention was
to 60 down to the breakwater and start on the
sea trial today. 1t is considered quite probable
that on account of high seas the vessel may re-
main at the breakwater for some time.

Mr.. Tanner - commissioner of pensions and
to determine whether or mos Mr.. Tanner II to

people appear to be divided between resent
ment at Tanners removal and anxiety thst the
position shall not be lost to New York.
The, Tns pension commissionership i one Of the
Of the administration, and New York does not
want to lose it At the same time It seems i'm
portant that some such prominent Grand Army
man, as Warner Of Missouri, should be put in
Tanners place TO counterfeit any evil effect the
ousting Of Tanner might have upon the feeling
OF the Grand Army toward the administration.

dispatch from Kansas City, received last
night, stating that Maj. VIM. Warner has been
summoned to Washington ID confirmed Maj.
Warner will be here Friday. He has been
offered the post Of commissioner Of pensions.
THE MOMENT OF ANXIETY
is now caused by the uncertainty - to how the
old soldiers will receive the news. The an
nouncement that Gen. Alger and Gov. Foraker
telegraphed Tanner to stand hrm may indicate
that they have feelings Of resentment and are
disposed to sustain the ex-commissioner. There
is no doubt also that Secretary Tracy
feels very keenly the turning down Of the man
in whom he was interested, but 1t Is expecte d
that the affair will soon quiet down, now
that Tanner has resigned.
CONFERENCE At THE WHITE HOUSE TO-DAY.
There was q long conference between the
President and Secretary Noble. Secretary
Tracy and Attorney General Miller today. After
Secretary Tracy and the Attorney General left,
Mr.. Noble remained with the President some
time longer. ..-
At 1116 Secretary Tracy and Attorney Gem
eral Miller left the conference. Secretary
Tracy said: Commissioner Tanner has re-
signed. He is not seeking any other place."
POSITION OF GEN. ALaER AND GOV. FORAKER.
1t is now denied that Gen. Alger sent dis
patch to Mr.. Tanner advising him to stand
firm. It is said that Gen. Alger's only express
sion on the subject was to a third party. and
the purport Of it has been misrepresented. On
the part of Mr.. Foraker it Is said that he not
only did not advise Tanner not to resign, but
that the advice given was to the contrary. At
o'clock Mr.. Tanners letter of resignation and
the Presidents letter accepting it we're given
out at the White House. They are a. follows:
The Letter Of Resignation.
The following is Commissioner Tanners let
