This treaty was ratified by the United States Senate on the 21st of last June, but the Senate made some minor amendments in its text, which rendered it necessary that the document should be again submitted to the Japanese authorities. ‘Information bas now been received that Japan accepts the amend- ments and is ready for the last step in the matter—the formal exchange.

The Attorney General enters a detailed denial of all the material state- ments in the Rogers bill, and pronounces a Portion of the matter “scandalous and imper- Unent.” He declines to answer matter of that character unless compelled to do so by the court. Gen. Garland states that he was invited by several friends to aid in developing certain inventions of that he was present at the only three meetings of the parties interested: that he has paid all the money that he to pay, and that he was impressed with the value of the inventions, and lieved that the dit patents would be sustained, but until that was done he and the co-defendants decided that it would be Improper to issue any Of the stock of the company. He denies that the contract with Rogers constitutes a business Partnership, and asserts that it was only an agreement for the obtalning of acharter; that in violation of this understanding Hogers sold interests in his stock, and that he published false statements as to the defendants and the business of the company... Mr. Garland then avers that in consequence of the bad taith of Rogers he had decided in Februbry last to give away his stock in the company and sever all connection with it, but bad refrained because of the investigation made by the House of Representatives, and that now being concluded he joins in the desire of the complainant to wind up ‘the affairs of the company, and re- nounces all claim to apy benefits to which the accounting may entitle him.

Two Boston Corporations Robbed by ‘Their Treasurer. THE THIEF LANDS FHOM HIS CUTTER YACHT, MAKES A FLYING VISIT TO HIS ELEGANT HOME AT THE HIGHLANDS, AND THEN DISAPPEARS. A telegram to the New York Sun from Boston last night says: Just pelore the close of busi- ness this afternoon tue announcement was made on State street and by circulars to the newspapers that Wm. Gray, Jr., treasurer of the Atlantic and Indian Orchard Mills corpo- rations, was a defaulter to an enormous amount. Following close, as it did, upon the news of two heavy embezzlements, the report caused great excitemént and sharp break in the stock market. It was a severe blow at local credit, and the stringent money market be- came stiffer than ever, The official announce- ment of the crime by the directors of the vio- timized corporation was made in the gentlest way. The; ed to, inform all concerned that, “having ‘of the illegal appropria- Hon ot their funds by thelr treasurer: Williaa Gray, jr., they demanded his resignation, which was tendered.” It was afterward reported on the street that Gray had absconded, and that his stealings were more than a 1nillion dollars. Noauthentic facts could be obtained betore the market closed, when prices were weak and demoralized. Gray was deposed from the treasurership of both corporations several days ago, and Wil- lam Hooper was chosen temporary treasurer of the Atlantic mills and Edmund Dwight ot the Indian Orchard mills. ‘The assetsof the two corporations amount to more than $4,000,000, and it is not believed the solvency of either is unpaired by Gray's operations, The capital of the Atlantic mills js $1,000,000, and its assets, according to the last atinual statement,exceed $2,000,000. The capital of the Indian Orebard milis is $600,000, with assets nearly three times that sum. Mr. Gray has been treasurer of the former for ten years and of the latter. corporation for eight years. He has occupied a foremost position in business and social circies. He has lived magnificently, and he was re- garded as very wealthy. He owns the fine cut- ter yacht Huron, and ‘he has been commodore of the Dorchester yacht club several years. Mr. Gray is fifty years old, and has a wife and two sons. ‘A reporter who visited Mr. Gray’s house at the Highlands this evening found the place shad- owed by a detective, who bad in bis pocket a warrant charging Mr. Gray with embezziement of half a million dollars trom the Atlantic Cot- ton mills, It was learned at the house ihat no one knew where Mr. Gray was. Mrs. Gray had gone to Old Orchard, but had been telegraphed for, The only member of the family at home was Mr. Cuaminguaib, brother-in-law of Mr. Gray, who said that ‘Gray, on landing this morting from his yacht, drove home in a car- riage, remained only & few moments, and star!- ed for the railroad station. He told his son he should return at 7 this evening, Mr. Cunning- ham believes his brother-in-law bas fled the country. ‘The cause of his downfall, be says, is doubtless speculation in real estate and stocks.

It is said the two men were in- terested in some enterprises in common. Snell- ing’s shortage now figures up to $800,000.
