TANNEB HAS OOT TO 00. An Investiffation That Is Expected to Drive Him Out. Washington, July 22. —The President and Secretary Noble would be glad to have Pension Commissioner Tanner’s resignation, but tue former, at least, is afraid to ask for it lest the Grand Army of the Republic should be offended. Their strong hints to Corporal Tanner in the shape of severe lectures and stern revocation of his acts have not produced l.is re-ignation as yet, although they have greatly sobered him. His superiors arc about to take a step which | may bring a resignation even from such reluctance. Secretary Noble, as bis imme diate superior, is to appoint a commis sion to investigate ail Corporal Tanner’s doings siuce he became commissioner of pentious and report fully upon them. Tins report, if impartially made and offi cially published, must compel even Cor poral Tauner’s resignation. Meanwhile Cor poral Tanner is practically deposed, Dr. Mc- M illaa, representing Secretary Noble, being St aetieaily in charge of the office. It was r. McMillan who first brought Corporal Tanner’s recklessness to the attention of the President and Secretary Noble by showing them a calculation proving that if Corporal Tanner’s system of rerating should be ap plied to all the preseut and pending pen sions, it would demand from the treasury a sum equal to the preseut uatioual debt. OUR INTBR-OCEANIO CANALS. All Quiet at Panama—No Notification from Nicaragua. Washington, July 22.— The latest re ports from the Isthmus of Panama received at the state department show that it is very quiet there.

Tho United States congress appropriated $250,000 to enable the state department by its representatives at Colou to furnish trans portation to their homos for such American laborers as desired to leave the isthmus, but up to the preseut time less than $30,000 has been thus expended. THE NIUAKAUGUAN CANAL. The state department Las not yet been notified of the beginning of work upon the Nicarauguuu canal bv the American com pany, as reported. When so notified an ageut will probably be stationed at Grey town until congress can provide for the ap pointment of a consul there. TRIALS OF THE PETREL. A Recommendation that Another Test Run be Made. Washington, July 22.— The board of officers detailed to conduct the official trial of the gunboat Petrel Saturday, the second official trial test, will recommend to Secre tary Tracy that a third trial be had.

Flemmon is now confined in the Allegheny county jail. A SEA LION CAPTURED. Sea Serpent Yarns Prove Not Alto gether Unfounded. MtNASHA, Wis., July 22.—During the past two years people have at Various times claimed to have seen a sea serpent, in Lake Alinnebago. Others who saw the alleged monster said it was a whale.

It is not likely that Mr. I owderly will be able to accept the in vitation for some time, because of urgent business requiring his personal attention in this country, but somo member of the board will probably be sent to Australia during tho coiniug winter. STRIKE LEADERS HEIZ3D. Ths Situation at Superior Growing Alarming. Minneapolis, Minn., July 22.—The Journal's We Wis., special savs: “The situation hero is growing alarming.

A Generous Increase for the Prince of Wales Recommended. London, July 22. —In the House of Com mons to-day Kt. Hon. W. H. Smith, the government leader, laid on the table the report of the committee on royal grants. The report recommends that £9OO be added to the quarterly allowance cf the Prince of Wales. The report maintains the right of tho quoc-n to a-k parliament to make fur ther provision for her grandchildren, The debate on the report was postponed until Thursday. Mr. Labonchere, in the debato on the grant to tne Princess Louise on the occasion of bar marriage to the Earl of Fife, moved tne rejection of the report of the committee and to substitute therefor an audress to the queen reciting, among other things, l .nt the sums already vote! by parliament to tho royal family should be amply suffi cient for all their proper purposes, and that if further supplies are needed they ought to be provided through retrenchmout of the expenses of tho royal family, and not by fresh demauds upon the taxpayers. It will be the keenest party struggle of the session. The refusal of the government to accede tv) the pr posal made by Mr. Gladstone, to deprive tho queen of the right to make further demauds upon parliament, led Mr. Morloy and the other liberals in tne commit tee to vote against increasing the allowance of the Prince of Wales. The differences among the liberal groups on this question have been arranged, and solid opposition, sup ported by some liberal-unionists, will con front the government. It is not likely that Mr. Gladstone will take a prominent part in the debate. Mr. Gladstone, although he <r>nsured the government for its attitude, voted with the majority of the committee on the grnnts. The report of the committee advises that at the propor time a law be passed provid ing that future sovereigns 6hall have no claim to parliamentary provision for their grandchildren.
