 The Prestdent's Message
 NEW YORK, May 6. The Tribune's Washington special says: When the Presidents message wIthdrtwIus the New York nominations reached the senate that body was in executive scs l sion engaged in the discussion of one of the treaties with China. COnklIng was occupied with a perussl of a let ter when the message was received by the clerk. It is said that the New York Senator apparently paid no heed to the reading of the short com municatiOn which meant 30 much Co him. Significant smiles were eX changed among the Democratic Sen at0rs. The administration Senators appeared COntented and COnklings supporters looked gloomy. Every body appeared Co be taken by sur prise. The message has been the tOpc of discussion among politicians in Washington this evening. COnk ling's friends are exceedingly angry and declare that open breach between hIm and the administration is inevit- able. They seem to create the i'm preSsien that COnkling is an abused and persecuted man.
 Nominations Withdrawn.
 WASHINGTON, May j.--The nomi- nations withdrawn to-day by the President were Wo0dford, McDOugall Payne and Tenny, Attorneys and Mar shals tor the northern and southern districts of New York. The Presi- dent stated in his message that Rob- ertson was not withdrawn. The nom ination of John Tyler for Buifalo Collector was also withdrawn. The message gave no explanation or com ment. There was the greatest excite ment over the fact that the message had been sent, and it was at first be- lieye that Robertson had been with drawn. This is an open declaration of war by the President against Conkling. Last night in consultation with friends the President determined to make the aggressive fight which he Inaugurated to-day, and intends keep ing il up, and will use every effort to confirm Robertson.
