lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHISGToN, May 3.-Charles Reed, counsel for
the distillers in the Chicago first batch) whisky
frauds arrived here this morning and made another
presentation of their case to Secretary Sherman
Mr. Reed said to the Secretary that during the last
two weeks the circulars of the Treasury Department
relative to the prosecution of these frauds nave
somewhat alarmed both himself and his clients.
Secretary Sherman replied that the circulars referred
in no respect to the dlsllers claiming immunity IN
the first batch that these cases stood on their own
merits and were in sui genets. Secretary
Sherman also said: The Government VIII Keep
faith with its citizensD
Mr. Reed presented to the Secretary . paper pre-
pared by Sidney Smith making a vigorous attack
upon Bluford Wilson, in which Mr.. Smith asserted
he thought that Mr.. Wilson, while at Cincinnati
was acting more from personal motives than for the
public good.
In January, 1877, in a consultation between Sec
rotary Morrill,, Acknowledgement Taft and the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, 1t was decided tbat
the agreement in regard to immunity for these men
should be fully kept. Subsequently. under secre-
tary sherman, Assistant Secretary French reported
in favor of rejecting this proposed compromise Tor
two reasons first because officer of the Govern
ment has any legal right to make such agreement,
and second, no such agreement was made. IL Is ex-
pected that this whole controversy will be settled IN
a few days. Mr.. Reed If not successful with the
Secretary of the Treasury, will go to the Attorney
General and the President

of waiting for the arrival of Writ Dexter witness
from the South, to make a statement which Cen
Deyens thinks viii have a great influence in Rchm's
case. Acknowledgement Deyens is understood to
have agreed with Judge Lawrence, when he was IN
Washington on duty connected with the Louisiana
Commission, that if any agreement was made IN
reference to this matter it should be kept And he
is also understood to have informed Mr. Lawrence
.hat if Writ Dexter would say in writing that the
agreement made by the Government counsel IN
Chicago with Rchu was what Judge Lawrence
claimed it was the Attorncy-Gcncral would direct
the District-Attoney TO dismiss the suit against
Rehm The Attorney-Gencral received letter from

ABucharest Giay - telegram to The Standard
says: at secret session Of the Chambers here,
dispatches from Roumarian representatives abroad
were read, alleging that an agreement certainly
exists between Germany, Austria, and Russia
relative 70 the Eastern question. The information
gwen by the representatives must be taken
Ior what 1t Is worth, but their dispatches have ma
teraily affected opinion in the Chambers. Prince
Charles is working hard TO effect active alliance
with Russia. This idea is opposed at the Russian
headquarters. The Generals are unwilling TO allow
the Roumanian forces TO be made separate corps
under the command Of the Prince or any other gen
eTal who Is not a Russian. II IS said there Is some
disagreement between Prince Charles and the Grand
Duke Nicholas on this account. If this difficulty
