The Washington Treaty.

Washington, 20. Secretary Fish having
received dispatches from London this after
noon, drove to the Capitol in order to COM
municate their contents to the President, who
in company with Senator Carpenter left the
Executive department at noon for that locali-
ty. While the President and Secretary Fish
were together in the room set apart for the
President, Senators Cameron. Morton, Har-
Ian and other members of the committee on
foreign relations, with additional republican
Senators, were seen going into and coming
out oft room. There is no doubt the con-
versation was on the subject OF our present
diplomatic business with Great Britain.
Nothing definite, however, could be ascer-
tanned concerning the character of the de-
spatches, but there was a report that the
English Ministry hesitates to accep: the ad
ditionai article to the treaty as modified by
the Senate, the waving Of the claims for indi
rect damages not being expressed with suffi-
cient distinctness, the United States merely
proposing new rule to govern the action Of
the tribunal of arbitration, having the effect
to exclude that class of cases, whatever may
be the ultimate disposition of the additional
article. 1t is certain that up TO five O'Clock
this afternoon there had been no definite
response from the British government.
Much interest on the subject is expressed
in executive, diplomatic and other circles,
and an unusually large number of kilograms
have passed between the two countries.

DEAR JOURNAL Allow me the privilege of
acknowledging through your columns, in be-
half of the Trustees and friends OF the CLASH
cal School in Halloweil, a generous donation
of real estate of considerable present and still
greater prospective value, from Benjamin
Sewall of Boston, and the CO. heirs with him,
of Moses Sewall, former resident of Hal
lowell This property is situated on Front
and Second streets in that city, and has con-
tnued in the possession Of the heirs above
mentioned until this transfer. We would also
express our qualification to Deacon Stephen
Sewall of Winthrop, cousin to the donors, for
the interest he took in the early stage of the pro-
| ject by presenting unknown to us the claims
of the institution to the heirs, which resulted
| in this generous gift, thus atfording additional
proof that he is and has been warm friend
to the school from its inception, as he has ever
been to every cause of education aud good
morals.
Ii is worthy of special note in this connec-
ton, as well AS somewhat remarkable coin
| cidence, that the father of these donors was
one Of the original corporators of the old
ilallowell Academy, whose property and
funds are now transferred to the new school,
and, that portion eff the estate of one of the
founders Of the old Academy, more than a
hundred years ago, should have remained un-
changed so long in the hands OF his heirs to
aid in founding the new Academy, on a broad
er basis and to cary out the very objects of
| the former, on a much larger scale.
Permit me farther to say, in answer to
many inquiries, that only comparatively
small deficiency remains for the completion
of the preliminary endowment, good par,
of which is likely soon to be furnished by a
special effort of the friends of the enterprise
in Augusta; and it is confidently hoped that
the whole fund will be raised by the meeting
of the Conference in Skowhegan in June,
and that the school will be fully ready to open
in September, at the usual time of commence
ing the Academical year. SEc'y.
