Thoy were remanded to tho Tombs, no day having tDoen fixed for their trial, Unless tho "ltlaeklegs" Aro Discharged— Trouble Already Arising Over Their Washington, Sept. 17.—There is good reason for believing that Maj. Warner has declined the offer of the commissionership of pensions made by the president some days When Maj. Warner came here several days since in response to a summons from Secretary Noble he said that he could hardly accept tho placc, but that, he would take tho matter under serious advisement. His law partner, Mr. Doan, was summoned here, and he remained in conference with Maj. AV arner for two days. Maj. Warner, it is understood, has come to tho conclusion that he 03uld not afford to accept the position. It fc now among the possibilities that Judge Rae,- of Minnesota, or Gen. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, past commanders-in-chief of tho Grand Army of the Republic, will be selected to succeed Commissioner Tanner. Retention. George Kennan has lx?on elected an honorary member of the Polish National alliance at Buffalo, the convention wishing to express its appreciation of his writings upon Siberian prisons. London, Sept. 17—Trouble still continue* botween the striking workmen and the substitues, or "blacklegs." A largo number cf old hands went back to work this forenoon in the vicinity of the Iodii dock?, in the southwest portion of the shipping region. They practically set upon tho substitutes and drove them out. Police were called to the aid of the attacked laborers and, after a short encounter the -'blacklegs" were re-intuted. At the Albert docks another encounter ensued between the rival forces. This was by all odds the hottest engagement that has yet taken place, and the "blacklegs" came out second best. A nuuibtr of them were injured Be badly that they had lo be taken to the hospital. Excitement runs high among the former strikers. They accuse the docking companies of bad faith in clinging to tho substitutes. The latter reply that under no circumstances will they go back upon the men who helped them out of their troubles during the lock-out of regular employes. IT WILL PAY Judge Sawyer says tho United States mar«hal has the same powers as $o keeping the jeace in any matter wherein the sovereignity jf the United States is concerned as the sheriff Das where county affairs are concerned. The ase of state police was impracticable. The powers of the sheriff ended at the borders of his county. Tho constitution gives the presilent the power and duty of seeing that tho aws are faithfully executed. "After mature consideration wo conclude that tho homicide tvas committed by the petitioner while actD jig in the discharge of tho duty imposed jpon him by the constitution and laws of :he United States.

Mr. Huntington declared to the prince that he would only allow his adopted daughter, Clara, a modest income, to be paid quarterly, and added that it would bo stopped altogether if there were any attempt made to discount its payments in advance. Prince Hatzfeldt indignantly refuses to accept any such terms and is very angry. The shoemakers of Dan vers, Mass., have withdrawn from the Knights of Labor and joined tho Loot and Shoe Workers' International union. In the morning the grand body was received at the board of trade rooms, where the welcome addresses were delivered by Governor Forakor and Mayor Bruck, to which responses were made by Grand Master J. L. McKinney, of tho Ohio Grand lodge, and by Grand Sire Underwood. The Sovereign Grand lodge then wont into session, and the grand sire made his report. This shows that tho annual increase of membership is larger by several thousand than that reported for a similar period during the last fifteen years. The defendants are charged in the indictnent with falsely presenting the baby in the case, and also with obtaining from Mr. Hamiton $5,000. .Judgo Martine signed two Dcnch warrants, which wore ordered to bo jent to May's Landing, N.

It is asserted lhat he learned during his trip through wormany that Prince Hatzfeldt was not an honorable man, and that there were several very unsavory reasons why he could not live in his native country. On learning Mr. Huntington's intentions the prince's ardor as a lover and fiance underwent a Considerable and altogether refreshing modification, and, indeed, the only person whose feelings of affection have suffered no change Ls Miss Huntington herself, who is still exceedingly anxious to acquire the prince's badly tarnished coronet and heart. However, she will havo no lack of suitors while here. ith Prince Hatzfeldt barred, tho hordo of other impocunious bearers of foreign titles will find a fair field. Mr. Huntington's Good Sense. Maj. Warner arrived in Washington in the afternoon from Deer Park and will remain in the city for several days. While he refuses to confirm or deny the report that he lias declined to accept tho position of commissioner of pensions, there is no doubt that he has declined it. He Has Probably Declined. Commenting on the statements that Nagle was too hasty, Judge Sawyer says Nagle, on iho scene of action, olDserving Terry's actions, ami knowing his character, was the oarty to determine when tho supreme 1110- sient for action bud come. Ami if he honestly acted with reasonable judgment and •liscretion tho law fcrtiti-s him, even if ho irrod. The judge further says that tho facts developed in the case show that Nagle had icted aright. "Tho homicide was, in our opinion, clearly justifiable in law, and in ;h© forum of sound practical sense was commendable. " A conscience contribution of $200 in an envelope postmarked Chicago has been received by Secretary Windom. Accompanying it was the following note: "This is Unklo Barn's. Put it to his krodit."

Complete reports cannot be furnished for come days. Kirkland, "President of the Trial Board." I It is believed that tho Baltimore developed 10,000 horse power, an excess of 1,000 horse power over the contract requirement. This will give Cramp & Sons, the contractors, a premium of $100,000.

A tramp named Jas. Nichols, who had been walking along the track, discovered one of the rai's out of trim.

Mr. Forrest's object in making this motion was to get some furors who had not been picked up by bailiffs. The court could see no reason why this discrimination should bo made, but Mr. Forrest eventually scored the point ho raised, and the last hour of the afternoon session was spent in the examination of regular talesmen from Judge Clifford's court. The defense used four and the state throe peremptory challenges during tho day. Four men were held for the night. Two of these possible jurors are Culver and Pearsons. The other two w ill bo dropped.

President Lewis, of the Manufacturers' bank, who is a member of the committee engaged in tho examination of the accounts, said: "I don't see any advantage in publishing the affairs piecemeal, because if parties should think they find any such complexion of accounts at this stage they may be entirely changed by something discovered later on. I don't say that any such deficiency lias been as yet discovered. I only claim that it is preniature to base an opinion on anything that has been reached thus far. The affairs are very complicated, and it will be three pr four weeks bofore we can act on tl»e report of the expert accountant."
