He Makes n Serious Charge Made Against
Secretary Noble and Ex-Commissioner
Black.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.--The Post pub
fishes Oh interview with Commissioner
Tanner, in which he justifies his action
in re-rating Senator Manderson's pension.
He says: 81 have not seen a copy of
Secretary Mobiles letter to Senator Man
derson, but judging from the extracts
quoted in Senator Manderson's letter, l
presume that he decided that the re-
rating was illegal, because no application
had been made; and if that is his reason
all / can say is that the secretary must
have very peculiar ideas concerning the
case. My conception of the duties of the
commissioner of pensions is entirely diff
ferent. | have always considered that
he should see that entire justice is done
where injustice is being done to the pen
sioner he should right the wrong, and l
am of the same opinion still, Secretary
Noble to the contrary, Notwithstanding"
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST NOBLE.
Speaking further on the subject, the
commissioner said it recalled to his mind
the case of Gen. William Ii. Powell, who
was re-rated just four days prior to his
(Tanner's) appointment. Gen. Powell,
he said, had received a gun-shot wound
in the shoulder, and was receiving a
pension of $3.50 per month when Mr..
Noble was made secretary. Gen. Powell
went to Commissioner Black with note
from Secretary Noble, in which the latter
asked the commissioner to do all he
could for the general. Gen. Powell de-
clined to submit to a medical examina-
ton, but Notwithstanding this fact, had
his pension increased to $50 per month,
and tated back to 1885, "And this"
concluded Tanner, with emphasis, twas
done at the instigation of Secretary
Noble, four days before received my
appointment"

precedents. The call was read and the
legislature Immediately proceeded to
business. In the house Chief Justice
Trip administered the oath to the mem
bers-elect, after which u temporary or

But the most remarkable, and perhaps
queerest part of the proceedings, We're
that no prayers were offered during the
whole time from when the legislature
met until it adjourned. After the in
augural services the two bodies repaired
to their respective halls and adjourned
