TREATY BETWEEN THE THE U. S. AND RUSSIA.
The following is published in the English
papers,
"a telegraphic dispatch from Berlin relates
IAN unconfirmed rumor to the affect that Russia
and the United States have concluded treaty
offensive and defensive, in case a war should
break out between Britain and America-but
another weston is, that the agreement merely
relates to the purchase of ships-ofwar."
The following is a paragraph in the Vienna
Austrian Gazette:
"There is good deal of talk, in military
circles of treaty having recently been con-
'cluded between the Cabinets of st. Petersburg
and Washington, in which they bind them
selves TO lend each other effective assistance in
the event of war between the U. S. and the
Western Powers. 1t is further said Russia is
negotiating with the States for forty-fve or
fifty ships-of-war.'

ad on the third story the Beaver street side, and
thence extended through to Exchange place. The
fremen were as early the ground as the condition
of the streets would admit but before they could get
to work the flames were bursting forth from the roof
and from the upper windows on either street
The fremen labored with great energy, and alter
about two hours of hard work succeeded in arrestlng
the progress of the flames. The third aud fourth

DESTROYED with ther contents These stories with the
second were occupied entirely Offices, and the losses
