Tine Proposed Treaty with France
HOW BradI~ugh Will be Treated.

LONDON, July 30.-The Norning Post says.
"Since the refusal of this government to
resume negotiations at Paris on the first of
August for new treaty of commerce, IN
less a fresh basis can be suggested in lieu
of the preliminaries, which hitherto have
been unsatisfactory, the French Govern ment
has made fresh communications, declaring
1t useless not to insist further on certain
points, which have been the principal OBJ
jects of dissension. Although the govern
ment may deem it expedient toTecOmmence
the negotiations, it does not appear likely
that the French Commissioners will yield
upon ali the points which the government
consider indispensable for the conclusion of
the treaty."
LONDON, July 31.-There will be another
meeting of the Conservatives at Lord Sails
bury's residence on Monday to consider
amendments to the land bill.
The Observer says: "In the event of Mr..
Bradlaugh's resisting the authority of the
ergeant-at-Arms, who will bar his entrance
to the House of Commons, he will be taken
in custody. The Sergeant-at-Arm will
then inform the Speaker of his arrest, when
the latter will take the pleasure of the
House in respect to subsequent proceed
ure."

CAUGHT AT LAST.
a Noted Road Agent OverhauIed.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Chief Inspector
Parker, of the Post Office Department, has
received information of the arrest in Colo
rado of Ham White, noted mail robber
and desperate, formerly of Texas. In
April, 1877, White was convicted in Texas
of highway robbery of the United States
mail and sentenced to imprisonment for life
at Moundsville, West Virginia. He was a
daring highwayman, who, it was known,
had murdered number of men. The Pres
ident was induced to pardon White last
spring. This, it is thought. was done
without a full knowledge of Whites
crimes. Immediately upon receiving his
pardon he re-entered upon his career as
highwayman, organized his gang and
robbed stages in Texas, Arkansas, New
Mexico and Colorado. He will be brought
to trial at once in Colorado. Warrants have
been procured for his arrest and trial in Ar
kansas and Texas, to be used in case the
Colorado prosecution fails to convict.
