firm which news has been received today
are Piessantville and Somers Point, both

and there no indications of abatement. At

provisions and unless communication is re-
established within twenty-four hours there
is likely to be scarcity of fool there. The
same is true of Sea Isle City. There is q
large number Of residents at the latter place
and it is impossible to obtain information as

Superintendent Dayton of the West Jersey

tor ght cy an Associated Press representa-.

bic report as to the condition of affairs at
Atlantic City. When the tide receded this
afternoon gangs Of men made their way from

the Camden 4 Atlantic rsilroai. Telegraph
ic communication was at the same time es-
tsb!ished to within short distaac' of the
water bound city, and the reports obtained
showed the place to be in much better shape
than anticipated. Wild rumors had gained
circulation here that 4 confiagrAtion was rag

dozen shanties on the beach were destroyed
by fire late last night. 1t 10 stated that there
was no loss of life.

The Reading railroad 10 also said TO be in
bad shape, and some time must elApse before
trains can be run. But with the Camden &
Atlantic in proper condition, Atlantic City
will be once more able to communicate with
the outside world.

COMMISSIONER TANNER
Sends His Resignation to President
Harrison.
A Difference Of Opinion Between Him
self and Sec. Noble tho Reason fos
the Step.


WAsHIsGroS, Sept. IL.
The crisis in the relations between Secre-
tsry Noble and Pension Commissioner Tan.
ner continues without settlement at late
hour tonight. Upon the best authority i,
may be said that the commissioner has not
been removed nor has his resignation been
| requested by the President. The same au-
thoilty says the serious differences have
arisen between Secretary Noble and Com
missioner Tanner over questions concerning
the administration of the pension bureau,
but not in any way affecting the commits
sioner's personal character, or in any sense
imputing corruption in his acts. The same
authority concedes that these matters relate
principally to the re rating of pensions of
employees and officials of the bureau and
others and to statements credited to the COM
missioner in interviews aud speeches. That
is the positan of affairs tonight, but when
the authority quoted was asked if it would
remain SO, he declined to commit himself,
saying that he had no intention Of entering
the field Of prophecy.
The air has been full Of surmises and ru-
mors all day respecting the case of Com'r
Tanner. Secretary Noble Is reported to have
said that the President must decide which
one of the two he will retain in their present
position the Commissioner or himself, but
neither Noble nor Tanner will talk 81 the
matter to newspaper men tonight.
On report to night is that President Har-
rison has advised Commissioner Tanner to
resign and that tomorrow will see the settle
ment of the trouble. Gen. Alger command
er in chief Of the 6. A. R., Gov. Foraker of
Ohio, and Commander Wilson of Kansas,
| are all said to have telegraphed Tanner urg-
ing him not to resign. These me ssages to-
gether with the influence of bis wife are said
o have been instrumental in holding the
Commissioner back from folio wing the ad-
vice of the President.
Mrs. Tanner is reported to have said that
if her husband resigned the Office of commits
sioner of pensions she would choose to take
in washing rather than he should accept the
office of United States marshal for New
York.
