WASHINGTON. Sept. 14.-There is bro
q shadow of doubt that Major
Warner. of Kansas City, win ac-
cept the commissionership Of PEN
sions. At the conference between tho
President and Mr.. Warner. at the White
House, last night. the latter informed tho
former that he would yield to the request
of the chief magistrate, his Cabinet
officers, and great volume OF
soldiers throughot the country and accept
the commissionership IL it were not for his
law business. Major Warner says that he
has but ten or twelve years Of life In which
to make whatever he is to have of worldly
goods for his old age. and his family, and
that he has large and lucrative law
practice, which he does not want to give
up for an Office with q salary
no larger than his expenses of living.
If, however, he can arrange with his busi-
ness partner, who is now here. so that he
can enjoy some of the effects of the law
practice now possessed by the firm. and az
the end of his official term return to the
practice upon the same terms he
cept the commissionersbsp. Those who
have talked to Major Warner and his pro.
fessional partner since the interview with.
the President this morning before the lat
ter left for Deer Park, where be Is TO TO.
main ten days or two weeks. believe that
he will arrange his business satisfactorily.
and that the commissionership will be in
the Missourian's hands within week.
