COMMISSIONER TANNER.
What He Says Of the Stories a. to His
Intention to Resign.

A conference was held yesterday by Secre-
tary Noble, Assistant Secretary Bussey, and
the commissioner of pensions relative to the
administration Of the pension Office. It

disagreement between the Secretary and
the commissioner and that the resignation OF

at the cabinet meeting to-day. But STAB re-
Commissioner Tanner.
WHAT GEN. BussEY SAYS.
Gen. Bussey did not say that there had not
been a serious disagreement between the Sec
rotary and the commissioner Of pensions in
yesterdays conference. He did say, however.
that in the administration Of such
large department as that Of the
Interior action was taken at times
that was not entirely satisfactory to the head of
the department He also said that in the con-
ference with Mr.. Tanner yesterday the subject
OF his resignation was not mentioned. He was
not aware that Mr.. Tanners resignation had
been requested, as was rumored.
CORPORAL TANNER LAUGHS.
Commissioner of Pensions Tanner laughed
to-day when reference was made by STAR
reporter to the published accounts of his inter-
view yesterday with Secretary Noble and As
sistant Secretary Bussey.

him If he would not go with me TO the Secre-
tary. He came along and we had our talk, and
got back to the pension office little after
O'Clock. That was the three hours interview
which was reported to have taken place."

''Oh, yes" was the reply.
HE SAVED THE CoRPoRALs LIFE.
Mr.. Tanner said that there was one thing that
the Secretary had done which his wife thought
had saved his CTanner's) life. The Secretary
had issued an order in regard to making
cases special Senators and representatives, y
said the Commissioner, ''coine here and make
these requests, and how can a mere Commits
sioner refuse them? But now can pull the
Secretary's order on them"

EQualizing the Salaries.

For some days past it has been rumored, and
the rumor has obtained considerable circula-
ton, that the board Of equalization appointed
by Public Printer Palmer to revise salaries in
the government printing Office had generally
reduced the compensation.
Chief Time Clerk LASER informed STAR
reporter this morning that the runor was with
out foundation in fact. The report Of the
board showed that the increase was more than
the reduction, and it now takes more money to
pay the same number of employees than was
required by the late administration.
':Mr. Palmer" said Mr.. LASER, "is not en-
gagged in cutting salaries. He is not built that
way. Whenever the board found two persons
similarly employed but at different rates of pay,
it equalized the two and in doing 30 frequently
decreased the compensation of the one whose
larger pay was frequently due to nothing but
