TANNER RESIGNS.


The Commissioner of Pensions Tenders
HIS Resignation Various Comments.
WASHINGTON Sept 12.-Prssident Har.
rison has received the resignation OF
James W. Tanner as Commissioner Of
Pensions.
In his letter conveying the resignation,
it 10 said, the Commissioner writes that he
recognizes that differences exit between
himself and the Secretary of the Interior
respecting the administration of the Pen.
sion Bureau and that those differences be.
ing radical. in the interest of thoroughly
satisfactory administration Of the Office,
he should resign.
One report was that President Harrison
had advised Commissioner Tanner to re-
sign. Governor Alger. Commander-in-
Chief g. A. R, Governor Foraker and
Commander Wilson, of Kansas, are all
said to have telegraphed Tanner urging
him not to resign. These messages, to-
gether with the influence of his wife. ars
said to have bsen instrumental in holding
the Commissioner back from following
the advice of the President
Mrs. Tanner is reported to have said
that il her husband resigned the office Of
Commissioner of Pensions she would
choose to take in washing than that he
should accept the office Of United States
Marshal for New York.
Last night a committee Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. of the District,
headed by General Burdette, ex-Com.
mander in Chief, called at the White
House to see the President in behalf of the
Commissioner of Pensions. but it was
after he had retired. He sent word that
he would be glad to see them in the morn
ing. Several Grand Army of the Republic
friends spent the evening with the Com
missioner, but they declined to say what,
il any thing, was the result Of the con-
ference. The Commissioner steadily denies
himself to newspaper men.
The retention, removal and resignation
of Commissioner of Pensions Tanner were
subjects of protracted conferences at the
executive mansion yesterday between the
President and most of his Cabinet officers.
Informal conferences were held be-
tween the President and Secretaries
Noble and Tracy. but the formal Cabinet
meeting to discuss the matter did not con-
vene until four o'clock and lasted until
about six O'Clock last evening. Secretary
Noble was with the President as early as
two O'Clock. He brought with him the
report of the committee which has inves-
tigated the affairs in the Pension Office
during Commissioner Tanners admins
tration, to be used as an argu-
ment for securing the Commits.
sioner's vacation of the office. Mem.
bers of the Cabinet are extremely
reticent about what happened at the meet
ing. The President, however. authorized
a representative of the United Press to
state that Commissioner Tanner had not
been removed, and that ne had not asked
for the Commissioners resignation"

There is a bird in New Guinea called
the megapodius, which, in the sizs of its
eggs and its manner of Matching them,
must be considered as being within the
bounds of the marvellous. This rara avis
is about the size of our common Plymouth
Rock hen. but its eggs are three and a
half inches long by nearly three in diam

in the ordinary way. A colony Of the
birds lay their eggs together in a large
mound which they build Of sand, earth,
sticks, grass and leaves. The leaves, grass
and other vegetable matters decay and
the heat thus generated under the SUMS

A RETAILER TEsTIFIES.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept 12-F. H.
Brice, a butcher, was examined by the
Senatorial meat investigating committee
yesterday and proved a most interesting
witness. He corroborated Mr.. Armour in
the statement that the determination of
the people TO eat only the fine cuts of beef
was the cause of no apparent reduction in
the price of meat at the block.
Mr.. Brice has been a butcher for thirty
years. He said twenty years ago he
got more for round steak than for loin.
The people, he said, had been educated
to eat the better class Of meat
by the packing houses. 1t had been
brought about by the packers trim
ming the fine parts of the beef
closer and closer. thus giving the people
only the very choicest Of meat.
These trimmings the packers, he said,
used to can and barrel and this line of
beef had been profitable, but he did not
know what the price was on this class OF
product Before the packing houses did
this, the parts of beef termed fine cuts
weighed double what they do now.
Mr.. Brice said there were from $50 to 300
butchers in Kansas City. There was a
sort of butchers association. H, be-
longed, but took no active part. This as
sociation had nothing to do with fixing
the prices of beef. He said but few of the
butchers knew their business and none Of
them were making money. There was but
one butcher in the city who killed his own
beef. The reason for this, he said, was
the fact that it was cheaper for the
butchers to buy the dressed beef Mr..
Brice was positive that the retail price Of
beef would be higher il the butchers had
to do their own killing. The butchers
could buy the live cattle for the same price
as the packers, but the packers
could kill much cheaper. He be-
lieved the packing houses were
benefit to the people and were not the
consumers so particular about the quality
of meat eaten. the price would be lower.
Mr.. Brice said he did not believe the
packers were making more than a fair
profit He said he knew Of no means
used by the packers to compel
butchers to buy the dressed beef
Butchers bought it because they knew
it was cheaper than for them to kill for
themselves. Every packer. he said, re-
tailed meat at his place of business, but
that was the only attempt at butcher
shops that he knew OF Eight years ago
be said, the packers tried to run retail
shops but soon gave it up as a bad job.
