WASHINGTON, Sept Il. Commissioner
Tanners letter of resignation has been
made public. He says: ''Thesdifferences
which exist between the secretary of the
interior and myself as to the policy to be
pursued in the administration of the pen
sion bureau have reached stage which
threatens to embarrass you to an extent to
which feel should net call upon you TO
suIfer, and as the investigation into the af-
fairs of the bureau has been completed and
am assured both by yourself and by the
secretary of the interior contains no refec
ton on my integrity as an individual or as
an officer, Herewith place my resignation IN
your hands to take effect at your pleasure,
20 the end that you may be relived Of any
further embarrassment in the NATTER
President Harrison in reply accepts the
resignation, to take effect when his sue
cessor qualities, and adds: II do not think
it necessary in this correspondence to dis
cuss the causes which have led to the pres
ent attitude of affairs in the pension Office.
You have been kindly, fully advised of my
views upon most of these matters. 1t gives
ne pleasure to know, so far as l am advised,
called in question and beg to renew the
expression of my personal good will
Gossip as to Tanners successor is now
engaging attention. To-day eX-Congress-
man Warner, of Missouri, ex-commauder-
iu-chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, is believed to be most likely appointed.
Other candidates are extension Agent
Pool, of Syracuse, General Charles E.
Brown, of Cincinnati, and General Powell,
Of Illinois.
To reporter Tanner said to-day: "The
President did not ask for my resignation,
aOr did he ad' Sc that / resign. He assured
ME the inve legation into the affairs of the
pension Office had developed nothing that
reflected upon my honesty or good inten-
lions, and said that if l remained in the
Office Secretary Noble would resign. l
decided that it was better that / should
resign.''
Secretary Noble said to a reporter:
There was nothing personal in the causes
which led to the severance of the official
relations between myself and Tanner. 1t
vas entirely due to a difference of opinion
n regard to matters of official administra-
tion." Secretary Noble added that the
story Of the wrangle between himself and
Secretary Tracy was true neither in word
lUr thought.
y Private Secretary HalfOrd said no issue
was ever made by Secretary Noble to the
President as TO whether he or Mr. Tanner
should go; there was never any formal
cabinet consultation about the matter and
40 disagreement whatever among the mem
0ers. Mr.. Halford added that the question
vas not at all in the Presidents mind
whether one of two perso MS should 60. 1t
was stated this evening by gentleman in a
position to speak with some authority, that
shere will be no haste about filling the posi-
lOn. What Tanner will do Is still matter
Jf conjecture.

Especial 20 THE HRRAID.-Examiner Dispatch I
NEW YORK, Sept. 15,-Mistassini is no
longer a mystery. 1t had long been sup
posed to be be vast island sea greater
than Lake Superior, and lying in the
country between the lower end of Hudson
Bay and Labrador. Tales Of terror have
been told concerning it and various attempts
have been made to explain its mysteries,
but it is only now that the true character
of the lake is made known in an article in
the Herald over page in length.
Professor w. j. Loudon, of the univer-
sity of Toronto, and Mr.. George Sand
field Macdonald, of Montreal, made dur
ing the past summer trip of exploration
to Lake Mistassini What they discovered
is fully described. In brief, their story
is that instead of a lake three or four hun
bred miles long and almost as wide, there
are three small lakes, none more than a
hundred miles long, and all narrow, lying
parallel one to one another, and connected
by passes. Several things have combined
to make Lake Mistassini mystery The
region is gloomy and sterile, and many
stories, often trne, have been told of the
terrible sufferings and of the death by
famine in bad years of Indian hunters or
there are the strange superstitions that
explorers or adventurers have found
among the savages they met there, and
finally it may be that the trading Corpor-
alton known as the Hudson's
Bay company, prefers that the
region should remain terra incOgnita
That more has not been known of the
region previous to the visit of Professor
Loudon and Mr.. Macdonald will appear
singular in the light of the account given
of their expedition.
AS a treaty intimated country it has been
visited several times. A Jesuit father
was there nearly two hundred years ago,
and the French had a post there, Fort
Dorval, more than hundred and twenty
years ago The Northwest company,
which was absorbed by the Hudson Bay
company seventy years ago, had a post on
the lake, and the Hudson Bay company has
one there to day. Trapping and trading
have been the objects of most of the visits
made to the region, and so it has remained
for the little expedition of Messrs. LOudOn
and Macdonald to give us the first accurate
description of Mistassini and to dispel the
mystery that surrounded it. The province
of Quebec, which claims the inhOspitable
region, will be disappointed at the news,
as the politicians in that province have been
setting great stress on the country's value
having been led to do so by reports that
have had currency for years. There is
nothing of value there; the very fish and
game that attract the hardy Indian hunter
thither are scarcely worth the perils their
taking subjects him to, and death by starya-
ton is apt to overtake him. 1t is land of
rains, broken up by lakes and rivers and
rapids, with short summer and wild
SHOWS and wilder winds in the hyperbo-
rean winter.

The Antwerp Explosion.

ANTWERP, Sept 12.-Nothing remains Of
the cartridge factory in which the explo-
sion occurred Friday last. The village of
Austruwell, which is situated 200 metres
from where the factory stood, and con-
sisted of about forty houses, has vanished
The hydraulic machines used in the dry
dock were destroyed with the exception of
the cranes. A number of merchandise de-
pots. including the Prussian stores which
were constructed of iron, were overturned
by the force of the explosion and an I'M
mense quantity of goods ruined. Two
stained glass windows in the cathedral
were broken by the conclusion but the
building is intact. According to the
official report 135 persons were killed,
twenty are missing, one hundred seriously
injured and 200 slightly injured.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, N. j., Sept l2.-
The storm in this vicinity is the worst
known since the blizzard. No lives have
been lost but the following property des-
troyed: Meeches house and pavilion,
Duboise cottage, Rodgers house and pa
vilion, Burke's two houses and the houses
of Dr. Hutchinson, Neeham, Babcock,

continues. At Wildwood the Wildwood
hotel is total loss and part of the sea wall
is gone. These points and also Sea Isle
City, Ocean City and Avalon are entirely
cut off from communication both by rail
road and telegraph, and the extent of the
damage at the latter places can only be sur
missed. Reports from Townsend's inlet say
the draw bridge and several cottages at
Sea Isle are destroyed. They are generally
believed to be true. The entire meadows
are one vast sheet of water. An Anglesea
train which was wrecked Tuesday still

destroyed for distance of five miles. The

and the waves dashed against the car win

pants. Finally it became evident the main
land could not be reached and the trains
started back. They had only gone short
distance when the fires in the locomotives
were extinguished and the trains brought
| to a standstill in the midst of raging
waters. The scene was indescribable till
the relief engines finally arrived, and sue
ceeded with much difficulty in dragging
the train 10 place of safety.
Late Tuesday night the whistle OF
steamer was heard and she went aground,
but the waves were so great a life saving
crew could do nothing toward their rescue.
1t is supposed she has gone to pieces and
all are drowned. Wreckage came ashore
Yesterday bearing the name Philadoux.
The crew of the tug A. L. Luckenbach,
which had laid alongside the schooner Kate
E. Morse all night, succeeded this morning
in taking the crew of the latter vessel, nine
in number, on board and afterwards
brought them to this place. The schooner
was blown onto Hawk-Nest shoal about
5 pm. Monday. The crew took to the
rigging where they remained cling1ng to the
rope for nearly four hours. The men were
nearly exhausted when rescued and could
not have lasted much longer. 1t was i'm
possible for the tug to approach the
stranded schooner nearer IIlaH IWcuGy
yards and men in the rigging were directed
to lump overload. AS man struck the
water a rope would be thrown him and he
would be lifted ON board the tug. After
getting all on board, the Lnckenbach
brought them to this place. Shortly after
the Morse went on the shoal. A schooner
supposed TO be the Walter P. Parker, also
grounded within thirty yards of the Morse.
She soon broke up and those on the Morse
saw her crew drown one by one. TIE
Morse is a total wreck.
It's estimated that $3.50, 600 will not cover
the loss to Atlantic City and her interests.
Great joy was manifested this morning
when messenger was dispatched through
out the city to announce that the first train
since Monday afternoon would start at 10
o'clock A great rush was made for the
Camden & Atlantic railroad station, and in
less than half an hour there was crowd
large enough to fill the five sections sent
The first section had eight passenger
coaches and a baggage car, and every car
was crowded even to standing space. The
trip across the meadows was one not soon
to be forgotten. Hundreds of pleasure
boats Of all sizes and description were
packed close to the road bed. The masts
of many of these had been cut away to per
init trains to cross.
At Long Beach, the new inlet through
the Sandy Hook peninsula above Sea
bright is being rapidly widened and deep
ened by the assaults of the surf. The
streets on the west side of Seabright are
still under six feet of water.

Panic at Atlantic CITY.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. Fit will
take months for this city to recover from
theloss the stoim caused. The wind still
blows from thirty-five to forty miles an
hour and it is still raining. The beach
tides have not been large today, conse
quenriy they are unaccompanied by fur
ther damage. The meadows are still four
feet under water.
There were many exciting scenes during
the storm. Tuesday morning the summer
visitors became panic stricken and rushed
INA clad from the hotels to the railroad de-
pots, tumbled pell nell into the cars and
forced the train men to make up the trains.
Finally four trains were made up with To-
P6motives in front and rear and started for
5he mainland They went slowly for the

Workingmen,s Views of Europe.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The fifty work
ing men and women who went to Europe
last July to investigate the condition of the
European wOrkingmen, have returned
Mr.. Thompson, manager of the party, said
to reporter :"Well, they are not to be COM
pared to ours. Almost every trade was
represented in our party, and they ex-
amined carefully the products and
machinery of the old country. 1t was
observed that the machinery was
cumbersome and lacked the com
pleteness seen in our country We
have had remarkable success from the time
we started. We were met everywhere by
committees and treated in the best posi-
BILE manner. 1t was found that on the
average wages were SO per cent lower than
in this country. P. p. Maginnis, of Gin
cinnati, went with US and investigated the
printing trade. He said that in Europe
they are about where the printers of this
country were twenty years ago Joseph
Thorpe, of Murfreesboro looked into the
engineering work in Europe. They were
not organized, and wages are about 80 per
cent lower than in his countryu

A Wreck strewn Coast.

LIVES, Del, Sept. 12.-No language can
picture the terrible scene along the coast.
The wind is blowing almost a hurricane,
driving the rain with force that cuts like
hail. The half mile of beach of sand be-
tween the town and the coast is tossing
ocean, bearing Wreckage on every wave.
Through the mist and spray of the storm
The tattered sails and naked masts of a
score of deserted and dismantled vessels
are dimly seen. The scene of Monday
night was the same, and the storm ragged
without abatement Yesterdays dawn
showed a hundred vessels which had
sought the refuge of the breallwater, but
fGle refuge was insufficient. By II o'clock
the sea broke over the brealkwater, wrecked
the telegraph station, carried away the big
; Og bell and rushed shoreward, sweeping
away the steamboat pier. The piers of
Brown & Co, and Lace Bros, gave way
and were swept to the sea. The United
States marine hospital was dashed from
It's mornings and sent spinning down the
beach The Jones life saving station, forty
teet above high water mark, was flooded
and the foundation undermined. Hughey-
Vile suburb between the town and the
beach was submerged and its inhabitants
1cd for their life, leaving all their posses
siOns behind.
The first boat came ashore at p. m,
than came another and another. The life
saving crew was reinforced by the Hen
lopen and Rehoboth crews and went to
work and have labored almost increasingly
ever since The crews on every vessel
chat struck were taken off by these daring
men and not a life was lost among the
scores of men they handled.
In all twenty-seVen vessels came ashore
here. A vessel sank off Brown shoals and
All of the crew were drowned but two, who
got ashore on z raft. Another vessel sank
on Shears shoals. 1t is not known whether
the crew escaped The total number of
ives lost will probably exceed forty.
Five Of eight men who composed
the crew of the E. x L. Bryan persisted
where the vessel struck on .Brandywine
shoals. The mate and two seamen caught
. spar and drifted all night. At daybreak
others were discovered and one of the
sailors was dead, his body still dashed to a
spar. Two of the seamen were picked up
Dy n tug and brought ashore. There is
great concern over the crew of the pilot
boat Ebe Tunnel She put to sea Monday
and has not been heard from. Pilots John
Barnes, Lewis Bertrand, James Rowland
berry Hickman and a crew of eight men
we're on board. The New Jersey pilot
boat Edmund was blown across the bay
and lies on the Jersey coast with her sails
n tatters. An unknown schooner IS ashore
at Rehoboth and the coast for miles down
Is reported streWn with wrecks. Three
schooners are lost outside the capes A
colored man and German have come
ashore as survivors from these wrecks.
They were on a raft from pm. Monday to
am. yesterday The other fifteen who
composed the crews of these schooners are
given up for lost.
There has been no communication with
Longport and great anxiety is felt for the
jsfety of the residents.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The Coney Island
Jockey club determined to hold races at
Sheepshead Bay to-day, no matter what
the condition of the weather was. The
day was decidedly bad for racing, and the
rain was so bad and binding that the spec
tators could hardly see the start, and were
only occasionally able to distinguish the
jockeys on the track. The track was fet-
look deep with mud. The event of the day
was the Great Eastern handicap, for which
twenty horses started. The Hearst stable
relied upon the $4,000 colt, King Thomas,
but he was left at the post and theirace was
won by his stable companion, Tourna-
ment, who was so little thought of as a
winner that stable boy rode him. He
started at odds of so to l. Most of the fin
ishes were close.

A Sunken Schooner.

CHATHENTHAM, IA sunken vessel has
been discovered on Pollock Rip shoal. She
is supposed to be three-masted schooner,
she was running for the light ship in the
foul weather last night, but failed to get
hold of the light and struck the shoal.
She pounded heavily all the way across,
the terribly rough sea knocking holes in
her bottom. She leaked badly and sank
as soon as she struck deep water. 1t is
feared all hands are lost.

Especial TO THE HERALD.-Examiner Dispatch.l
Boston, Sept. 12.-Sullivan's friends
recognizing that he has no political training
or experience, propose to give him at least
one year in that great school-the COM
mon council. He will be candidate from
Ward 10 where his home is at present.
One of his friends said yesterday morning
that Sullivan would not ally himself with
any of the factions in that ward but would
endeavor to unite the factions. If he &C
composites that feat he will deserve an
election to Congress at the hands of the
Democrats. Congressman General N. P.
Banks when asked what he thought of John

ever encountered At midnight Tuesday one
of the firemen was washed overheard and
drowned. The England was struck by the

sea were something terrible. Captain
Healy says the steamer was almost turned
over by the combined force of the wind and
sea. She careened over until her tips and
her yards dipped into the water.

The big fellow was cited to appear be-
fore the poor debtors court this morning
to respond to an execution issued against
him for 1912 which amount represents a
tailor's bill alleged to be due from Sullivan
to William jackson The nature of the
process gave Sullivan an opportunity to
take the poor debtors oath if he has no
property, but Sullivan did not appear as he
had III the meantime settled the bill and
therefore could not be declared insolyent.
