FROM WASHINGTON.
The Anglo-American Treaty.


Special Despatch to The Euening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The semi-effcial sy-
nopsis of the Anglo-American treaty published
by authority of the State Department this morn
ing is variously commented upon. The English
Commissioners were opposed to making any of
the provisions of the treaty public, for the rea-
son that they feared it would be unfavorablY
received by their Government. Many of the
points of the treaty having found their way into
the newspapers, despite all efforts to prevent it,
and seme of them having the effect to prejudice
the public sentiment against it, it was deemed
advisable by the American Commissioners to
make the statement published this morning.
There are three points in the treaty likely to
meet with opposition
First. The manner of adjudicating the Eng
lish claims.
Second. The virtu Il revival of the reciprocity
treaty of 1854 with Canada.
Third. The arbitrament of the question of
payment of money for the fishery privileges.
The two latter, it is understood, will be
strongly opposed by New England and Western
Senators. Mr.. Sumner only received q copy of
the treaty yesterday, and, of course, has not
had an opportunity of determining what course
he will take. He will not oppose the treaty as
whole, but will insist upon amendments to
those articles which do not meet his approba.
ton. He will be supported in this by sufh-
cient number of Senators to amend ii in several
particulars.
The President
having returned last night called Cabinet
ses ion this morning, a little before the usual
time. The treaty, accompanied by short mes
sage, will be ready to send in tomorrow. Mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Committee are of
the opinion that it will take at least week to
consider it, on account of its great length and
of the many important questions involved.

Jersey to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was submitted yesterday to the United Board
of Directors at Trenton. The committee to
whom the matter had been confded had meet
ing on Saturday in Philadelphia, in conjunction
with q similar committee from the Pennsylvania
Company, and after eleven hours of debate all
the provisions of the lease were finally agreed
upon. Their work was approved by the Dlrec-
tors of the New Jersey companies yesterday

mittee time to make the required alterations
The directors will then have another meeting

Before the meeting adjourned yesterday an
offer was received from another powerful com

those made by the Pennsylvania Central, offer
ing, in addition, bonus of nearly 81 ,00000
This offer will, of course. affect materially the
negotiations, but the matter will now rest with
the stockholders. 1T the lease to the Pennsyl-

offer may receive consideration. The amount
of property to be transferred is of value of
$4,000, 600, embracing railroad lines and canals
that cover seventeen out of the tweuty-one
counties of the Stately. y. Tribune to-day.
