ST. Louis, May 29.—The Postmaster makes the statement that Governor Crittenden has been in negotiation with Frank James for the past ten days. It is stated that Frank James has nominally surrendered to the authorities under a flag of truce, and that Governor Crittenden has promised full and unconditional pardon to the famous outlaw. It is further stated that delay in negotiations was occasioned by the friends of Frank James insisting that full pardons should also be secured from the Governors of Minnesota and Texas, where the outlaw is under the ban of the law, and steps are now being taken to that end. These pardons are necessary for fear that Governor Crittenden's successor might deliver up Frank James on a requisition from either of the States. There is scarcely any doubt that the negotiations will be successfully consummated.
