WHY TANNER RESIGNED.
Pension Agent Parkinson Says There
Was Too M Mach Friction.

Mr.. Z. G. Parkinson, who left here last
night for Whatcom, was seen by a PosT-
lSTELLiGEScER reporter Mt the Bellevue
yesterday. Mr.. Parkinson and Major
Fosnes were appointed pension agents for
Oregon and Washington, receiving their
commissions in Washington, II. c.. about
five months ago. Mr.. Parkinson has hin
headquarters In Portland. Or. Referring
10 pension matters, Mr.. Parkinson said
my business II seattle has been entirely
routine work, and not OF such importance
as tn deserve mention. So far as my views
of Commissioners Tanper are concerned,
am sorry that there has been trouble In the
department. because both Corporal Tanuer
and Secretary Noble are good men. and
friendly with one another. but they are
men who are strictly methoticai, and very
decided in their opinions. But there had
to be q change. and either Mr.. Tanner or
Secretary Noble would have 10 resign. l
am of the opinion that President Harrison
was by no means anxious for the removal
af Mr.. Tanner, but he saw that the friction
was too great between the two, and left
the matter of designation TO the commits
sioners good judgment
''Of the two who are most likely 10 be
appointed, Major Warner end George ).
Merrill, wouldn't express any preference.
although Major Warner viii probably ac-
cept the appointment Both are past
CON mandcr-in chiefs uf the u. a. r., aud
are entirely competent Ia transact the bust
ness OF the department with ability. I
know them well and would be glad IL
either were appointed.
las for Commissioner Tanner, u win

He worked altogether too hard, l have
known him To work hard in the Office from
10 I'LL 8 o'clork aud then take home enough
business TO keep him busy until O'Clock
al night. So far as the statements about
the dissatisfaction Of the Grand Army are
,sthere il nothing in them lie

that she is \ very brilliant woman. and
