Rumors prevailed yesterday, in
absence of any proceeding in the
Beecher trial, that one of the par
ties to the suit had withdrawn, and
that there would necessarily follow
discontinuance of the case. The
rumors doubtless grow out OF re-
ports that one of the principal
counsel had resolved to withdraw
in consequence of neglect to his
other business, which an attend
ance for two months in the Brook
Ign Court had caused. He has
been induced, however, to remain
in the case, and will doubtless con-
duct it to its close. Jeffries, the
sick juror, has entirely recovered
from his indisposition. Attend
ance at the trial is to be limited
hereafter, and Judge Nelson has
expressed his intention, emphati-
cally, to allow to enter the court
room only such number of specta-
tors as will just fill the seats. When
filled, the courtroom will hold 600
persons, and on no day, since the
trial begun, have there been less
than 500 spectators present. Most
persons who apply for admittance
are ladies, and sometimes they sue
coed in passing the guards.
A letter from London states that
DR.. Kenealy has given notice that
on the 10th of March he will call
attention to the Tichborne case.
Chicago, March 6.-In the breach
of promise and seduction case,

Miss Mann.

Chicago, March Ga Washing
ton special says it is reported
among the Legations that the
President will send to the Senate
draft of a new treaty with Spain,
which will propose a substantial
modification of the treaty of 1875,
which is now the basis of existing
commercial relations between the
two countries. The new treaty is
said to be the work of Caleb Cush
ing. An extradition treaty was
proposed to be submitted before
the downfall of the Spanish Re-
public, but the accession of Alfonso
to the throne stopped negotiations.
Gushing was to have formally re-
cognized the Alfonso government
to-day.
A special correspondent writing
from Sioux City, gives a long re-
port of an interview with Ephraim
Witcher, an old citizen of that
place and one of the party who
went out to the Black Hills last
Fall and has recently returned. He
reiterates the previous accounts o.
the richness of the mines, and as
serts that they met no unfriendly
Indians. Game was plenty, anG
though the weather was cold the
party did not suffer. One of the
original party that left Sioux City
Mr.. Arons, hailing from San Fran
cisco, died on the way to tn,
mines. The business men of Siou,
City have organized a Black Hill
Transportation Company, and ex
pect to start their first train abou
