The prisoner was called upon to plead again, and his counsel changed his plea to not guilty. The work of obtaining jury then com- menced.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-A Washington special says: Later information from Germany shows that Minister Pendleton had much graver cause for endeavor- ing to come to better understanding with the German government as to the construction given to the Bancroft treaty, than is apparent from the brief dispatch which announced that negOtia- tiOns had begun. It appears that Bis marck has given evidence of hIs increas- ing hatred of the United States by in- terpreting the Bancroft treaty in the seyerest manner against all German Americans. Those who know most about the subject say that if be could have his own way and dared to enter upon such a course, the oppressive edict which IS now enforced against the Poles m the northwestern province of Germany would find & parallel in re- strictive measures which would be adopted against German-Americans in the mother country who have never rem dered military service there. It is stated that German-Amerlcanso of this class in Germany have been notified that here after their residence must be limited to a few weeks or months, and that if they in any particular, during even that short perIod, become troublesome, they will be subject to notice to leave the country. It is claimed that the atti- tude winch the German government has taken is in direct violation of the spirit if not the letter of the Bancroft treaty. Undoubtedly 1t is this construction which Minister Pendletcn is endeavor- ing to have modified.
