The Mexican Treaty.

Chicago, 25.--- Times Washington:
The Mexican minister, NJ Romero. re-
turned recently, said to-day he couldn't
talk freely about the reciprocity treaty
between this country and Mexico. He
would be ready, however, in few days
to give q. the information in his passes
sion about the treaty and the position
Which Mexico occupies with regard to it,
The cause of his reticenee just now is the
lack OF information from official sources
OF the appointment Of his colleague. The
appointment was settled on before be
left Mexico, few days ago, but with
whicI PrestGonzaes had taken no action.
dis action was delayed because the per-
son Is q mem Der OF the congress, and bis
appointment just now would interfere
with his duties. The appointee is q gen
t'eman Of conspicuous sbiIity and l.
known for his liberal ideas. He is we'll
kaown in this cou TRY, and speaks the
English language with sufficient fGeney.
Romero reached the Mexican capital a
few weeks ago. He found very consider
able oppo ition to the proposed treaty
The impression prevailed that the United
States intended to seizs unon
this opportunity to force upon Mex-
leo q commercial treaty that
would be almost wholly advsntA-
geeus to the United States. Mr.. Romero
set himself to work to correct this false
impression. Romero is anxious tbst the
treaty should be negotiated because he
knows it will be beneficial to Mexico IS
we'll as to the United State. lie has not
yet determined whether the commission
vii! hold their meetings III Washington
or New York. If General Grant prefers
New York the commission viii meet in
that city.

ADenver s candaI.

Denver, 26.-Denver has had sen
sation. Governor Tabor applied for
a divorce from his wife in LaPlata
County in January last. This is 800
miles from Denver, and none of the
parties live there. An officer came
to Denver and claimed to get service
on Mrs. Tabor. She will swear that
he did not. On the oath of March a
divorce was granted and nobody
knew it until September. The bill
charges adultery with two citizens
of good standing; also personal
abuse. The bill has been taken
from the court and cannot be had.
Pages of the record are pasted to-
gether to avoid publicity. Mrs. Ia
Dor will resist on the ground of
fraud. 1t is not believed that Tabor
will attempt to defend if she makes
fight. She has brought suit for
alimony, but not divorce, and she is
likely to succeed.

New. York, 26.-The suit of RM.
G. Williams, on behalf of himself
and others similarly interested,
against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and others, came up
to-day. The suit is brought to sat
aside an agreement made by the
Western Union, Atlantic and Pacific
Company and others. The suit ls
for an injunction to prevent the
payment of dividend upon certain
Stock. The counsel for the Western
Union read an affidavit of A. 3.
Brewer, secretary, TO the effect that
transfers OF stock upon the CONF
pany's books are so numerous as 20
be impossible. TO make distinction
between the stock said to be legally
and that claimed illegally issued.
Counsel cOntended that the stock Is
valid and the court could not re-
strain the company from paying
dividends on it. The contract which
had been entered into between tho
companies was binding upon all
parties, even if it should be set
aside a dividend having been de-
cIared stockholders could begin &C
ton to recover if not paid. Counsel
ALSO read an affidavit from President
Green who asserts that all actions
| of tie departments regarding the
| consolidation agreement were lusa-
| fed by Law and relying unon the de
cision Of Judge Truax. The whole
humber of shares of the capita
Estock as increased are ISSUED witt
| the exception OF about 400 shares
inad been distributed and were a
present in tie hands Of larg
humber Of persons. Presiden

pany was about to appeal frOI
the judgment rendered by tn
general term.
