Commissioner Tanners Farewell.

New YORK, Sept IA Washington
special says: Tanner bid good bye to the
men in his Office last night, and was not at
his desk to-day.
A special to morning paper says:
President Harrison said to friend yes
terday, that Corporal Tanner would have
to go out of the pension Office. He said he
was reluctant to part with him on account
of the embarrassment it would place him,
in considering the endorsement given the
commissioner by the Milwaukee encamp
ment; but, he added. it was altogether out
of the question to keep him. The President
said he had repeatedly talked to Com
missioner Tanner, and urged him to give
his tongue less exercise, but that every
where he went, and upon the slightest pro-
vocation, he put his foot into it. 1t is I'M
derstood the commissioners resignation is
in the hands of the President, and his
services will be dispensed with in very
few days. For ten days or more
it has simply been question of
how to drop Tanner without offending
the soldiers The statement made
in the dispatches to the effect that Tanner
was to take the place of General Rosecrans,
register of the treasury, is without founda-
ton. Rosecrans will retire from his posi-
ton it is true, but it will not be rendered
to Corporal Tanner.
The commissioner was absent from his
post of duty this morning which was filled
by Deputy Commissioner Smith, acting
commissioner. Tanner was expected at
the Office, it is said, at noon, but at l o'clock
he had not returned. 1t is believed by
some that he was removed; by others, that
he has been temporarily suspended until
the result of commission examining into the
affairs of the pension bureau is announced.
1t is impossible to find out exactly the state
Of the case. That his resignation has been
requested or rendered, however, is posi-
lively denied. Secretary Noble declined
to say anything on the subject.
Secretary Noble, Commissioner Tanner
and Marshal Ransdell are in consulta-
ton with the President to-day, presumably
in relation to the case of Tanner.

annual meeting eff the directors of the st.
Paul road was held to-day. The chief

Sandy Hook an Island Again.

SEABRIGHT, n. j., Sept. ll.-Last night
was a night of terror here. The cottagers
were badly frightened by the terrible seas
and furious wind. The surf Numbered
away on the east side and on the west, and
Shrewsbury river rapidly overtlowed into
the street, flooding houses and stores. Ine
sea cut a new inlet into Shrewsbury river
north of Seabright near were there was an
inlet one hundred years ago, tearing away
the Sandy Hook tracks of the Central rail
road and again making Sanity Hook an
island Two cottages at Lewnoor We're
undermined by spur and they topped
down to the sea and were torn to pieces:
Two other cottages are badly undermined
and will probably go over the Little BluH
Several others are in dangerous situations
The sea ran over into the river below the
South End Octagon house and toppled over
a cottage belonging Esquire Rowland. The
brick walls of the new Methodist Episcopal
church are mass of ruins. The beach IS
strewn with debris of all kinds. Several
bodies can be seen floating in the surf, but
no one could recover them. All the cot
tagers north of here have vacated their
homes and are at the hotels here and at
Redbank. This town is cut off from all
railroad travel.

The Eln,ar's Voyage.

NEW York. Sept. 1.-THE new Morgan
line steamer Elmar completed her first
round trip to-day from New Orleans. The
officers gave out tonight q full story of
how the vessel weathered the big blow.
The storm struck her on Monday night
about mile north of Cape Hatteras. From
that time until she almost reached Sandy
Hook she steamed ia the teeth of most
terrific storm. Heavy waves dashed the
sides Of the steamer and broke clear to the
tops of her smoke stacks which stand
f6cty-fve feet out of the water. The
smoke stacks looked like gigantic frosted
cakes as she came into the harbor. They
were covered with salt. Captain Portion
and First Officer Benson stated the storm
was the most terrible one they have wit
messed during the past fourteen years. At
times they could not see a ships length

An Anxious Night at Annnnolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 11.-Last night
was an anxious one for the friends of the

Geyser Upheavals in Yellowstone Park.

MAMMOTH Hot SPRINGS, Yellowstone
Park, September 11.-During the past
twenty-four hours there have been great
commissions of nature and subterraneous
commotion, followed by tremendous explo-
sions of gas and steam in the upper geyser
basin. AS result, all the system is in &C
tive outbreak, the large geysers being
especially demonstrative The Giant and
Giantess are in furiousu activity, as are
many others which have long lain dormant
and were supposed to be extinct. Scientists
explain that all of this phenomenal outburst
is directly traceable to, and connected with.
atmospheric and submarine demonstrations
of the grear storm that prevailed along the
Atlantic coast simultaneously yesterday.

ANNEXATION OR RECIPROCITYe
Our Relations With Canada-YariOus Views
Upon Their Settlement.

Boston, Sept. 1.-THE United States
Senate committee on relations with Canada
began its public hearings in this city to-
day. Representative Morse, of Canton,
said he did not think it profitable for the
United States and Canada to retain an
army of revenue officers on each side Of
line 1900 miles long. If Canada would con-
form its protective tariff to ours and con
sent to just adjustment Of the fishery diff
ficulty, he would favor a reciprocity treaty.
The interstate commerce law he considered
most unjust to American railroads, driving
the business away to parallel lines In
Canada The law should be repealed, as it
is an outrageous interference with private
rights If not repealed something must be
done to protect our railroads from Can
adian competition.
President Squires and S. P. Hubbard,
Of the chamber of commerce, believed in
annexation as the best solution of the
problem.
A. Hardy and B. f. Quits, of Boston,
were in favor of reciprocity, the latter say
ing Canada had much to give in return,
as 80 per cent. of the fish brought to Amer
lean ports By American vessels were stolen
from within the three mile limit and Amer
lean fishermen must have Canadian bait.

NHw York, Sept. 11.-Vessels at anchor
along the South street pier have the ap-
pearance of having passed through cy-
clone, the rigging of many is torn into
shreds and the spars and masts are dlsman-
tied while the waves beat with great fury
against the vessels sides even as they lay
at their piers. The telegraph wires be-
tween here and Sandy Hook are still
down, consequently the greatest uneasiness
is felt at the Maritime exchange for the
safety of the vessels in the ofing. In
round about way it is learned that only
two vessels had come up to quarantine
since last night. They were the New
Morgan line steamer Elmar from New Or
leans and the Hamburg steamship com
Dany's California. The Elmar was de-
tanned twelve hours outside the pier by
rough water. The vessel encountered the
hurricane on the 9th instant. While there
was no serious damage sustained, things
on board were made lively and the decks
were dashed fore and aft. The California
has on board big load of immigrants.
The new German steamer Kaiser Will
helm. which left her dock at Hoboken yes
terday was obliged to laytO this side OF quar-
antine over night. The vessel passed out
to sea at 9 o'clock this morning. The reg
Ular weekly feet of transatlantic steam
ers followed soon after Private advices
from the quarters of the health officers
down the bay show that the storm at quar-
antine is continuing with great fury. The
wind is blowing heavy gale and the seas
wash over the surrounding walls, Along
the battery wall the waves dashed far into
the park. The iron ratings surrounding
tie E. Ii alongside the dock commissioner
br;lding at Pier A was carried away, while
the docks at Castle Garden were being
completely washed. The custom house
quarters at the end of the immigrant dock
are completely filled with water and the
Landing agents Office was submerged. The
rainfall this morning was 6O-l00 of an inch.

THE WYOMING CONVENTION.
Franks's Anti Woman's Suffrage Proposition
Adversely Reported-Other Matters.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. Il. - Especial
telegram to THE HERALD. THE constitu-
tional convention did its first real work TO-
day, being in committee of the whole for
three hours. This was after Russell, of
Uintah. read a lecture to the members on
their dilatory methods. An apportionment
fight is well on. A powerful minority
urges a state senator for each county and
will make determined fight against 9TH
erwise districting. To-day's notable pro-
position has summoned a horde of revenue
politicians 10 the lobby. 1t reduces the
salaries of the officers and practically abol-
ishes the fee system. The suffrage COM
mittee made an adverse report on Franks's
proposition to disfrachise female citizens.
The convention was about swamped on the
question of granting to municipal corpora
lions the right of eminent domain in Sc
curing water

Increased Pension Payments.

WAsuINGToN. Sept. ia statement
issued by the pension bureau says: In July
and August there were advanced to pen
sion agents on requisition s34, zoo, 900, while
the amount disbursed by agents in the
same months was S11.4S6,O0O. More than
half OF these disbursements were in pay
ment of cases allowed during the preceding
fiscal year, and not paid then because of
deficiency in the appropriation, making il
necessary to pay these claims out of the
appropriation for the fiscal year 1890. This
accounts in every particular for the ap
parent increase in the payment of pensions
during July and August 1889.
