A SECRET TREATY, OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE
ClNCIUDED WITH GERMANY


CONCLUDED WITH GERMANY.
The Washington Sunday Herald prints the
following gossip: 81 have heard a most start.
iing and important piece of news, which, if
true (sni bslieve it i-), wall greatly inhr-
eDce the public mind in regard to its sympa-
thies with Mexico. 1t is that the Mexican
government has secretly made treaty, of
ensive and defensive, with the G4rmsn em-
pire, which gives 10 the latter country
all the advantages the treaty made
with the United States gives US, and
more. Besides the offensive aud de-
iensiye ciauee, which substantially guaran7
tees the integrity of the Mexican republic,
l learn that this treaty was made ag inst the
strong monstrances of cur Minister, the
Hon. Philip H. Morgan, and that Judge
Morgan Immediately made full report 10
the Secretary of Stale, setting forth the factp,
and that this whole matter has been con-
cealed from the people by our Department
OF State. l also learn that the conddct of
the German Minister at the CITY of Mexico
was 20 full Of insoience to Judge Morgan
that the latter, who ia a brother-in-law
of Gen. Drum, the Adjutant General
of the army, was seriously in
cliued 10 make the matter a personal
one, a. would have done so but for the
prompt declaration Of the German that he
meant no ofvnse. Leaving the personal part
OF the above statement of the question, this
oews is of the very greatest Importance. TIE
State Department best knows whether it was
informed OF the treaty and took any steps 10
prevent its ratification or not, aud whether it
intends to permit it to be ralifisd without a
protest. Ny inform alton is OF the most un-
doubted reliability, and the authority can
be had by the State Department if
it is questioned. II seems to me

3 ,ainst the Rock City Pool-Room Associs-

changed its charter in compli ance
with the law, created CONSERVATION by
his accidental appearance tonight in the

This be resented by saying he would have
the whole crowd before him To- noriow
morning on bench-warrant, and that he
would send the sellers 10 Jail for FIVE years
The scene created a sensation, drawing large
sssemblagc to the spot. At its conclusion ihe
Judge and his friends were driven home. 1t
is generally believed that Rid decided the
case of yesterday with impartiality, and that
hissiDg bin to his home was ingxcusable. In
his remarks to those in the pco!-roon, he
said he defed any mob or snyone who would
dare to lay hands upon him.
