WASHINGToNE !
Minister Bancroft's Resigna-

The Pending Treaty with
England.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 11.-Al-
though no positive informstions can be
obtained regarding BaDcroft's resignation
as Minister to Berlin, the report is moi
discredited in official circles.
The Committee on Foreign Relations
held an adjourned meeting at the capitol
to-day on further consultation on the
treaty of Washington. Assistant Secre-
tary Davis was with them several hours
giving explanations concerning the pro.
visions of the treaty.
AstOatshe ed Officials.
Much astonishment is expressed in Off
cial circles at the publication of the
treaty of Washington in the New York
Tribune this morning. Some official en-.
quiry will, according to several Senators,
be made as to the mystery of the publ
cation and also the means of correspon-
dents obtaining information concerning
the debates in the secret sessions.
The message of the President commu-
nicatmg the treaty to the Senate is said
to be very brief and makes no recon-.
mendation, but merely submits it for con.
sideratiOn.
He that Careth Not for His Own
Household, etc
The President has directed Gen. Niche.

tendent of Public Buildings and Grounds,
and Gen. o. E. Babcock viii be assigned
to duty as Superintendent in his place.

BERLIN reports concerning the final
treaty or peace Just signed al Frankfort
on -the-Main, represent that the war in
demnity has been materially reduced in
consideration Of railroad franchises and
perhaps commercial privileges ceded to
PEIssia. To reconcile this with Thiers
statement to the Assembly that
no alteration of conditions could
be obtained, we are left to suppose
that the railroads in question have
been simply sold to Prussia in part
payment of the war indemnity, trans
action involving no real reduction. Some
thing more tangible is the reported offer
of reduction on condition that France
comedies the immunity of private prop
erty at sea during war-a principle emf
nently desirable il the interest of COM
merce, if the great naval powers would
but agree on it. 1t is further stated that
the German troops will Immediately
evacuste all French territory except three
forts on the extreme Eastern border.
