EARL DERDY's NorE-IMPREssIoNs REGARDING
1T IN wAsHINGToN-AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE
THE ISSUE
The note OF Earl Derby in reply to Secretary Fish on
the subject Of the extradon OF Winslow s regarded
evasion Of the able argument Of Secretary Fish and
showing disposition the part OF the British For
eign ONCE to the point Of issue from where Mr.
Fish axes It SO logically and to provoke fresh
and heightened discussion under cover OF the
delay attending which the demand OF wnsow's
counsel for his release from Imprisonment
may, with better grace be acceded to and tho blame
OF violation OF the treaty be made to to lie with
the United States government All tho revival Of ref
erence to the possibilities OF Misunderstanding ars-
ing out Of a hypothetical case In which tho crime
charged could by the asked to surrender
a fugitive DO construed TO be political, Is suggestive
OF such an Interpretation this Of the policy con-
trolling Earl Derby and his Ministry The
citing of of this nature,
which is 80 unlikely TO give trouble
be irrelevant to tho present argument IL perhaps
the most significant feature Of the weakness OF Earl
Derby's argument in reply 10 Secretary Fish. Tho
proposition too that tho certincaton of the crime by
the United States Secretary Of State would override the
dixt OF the English magistrate In determining whether
the nature Of the offence for which the accused
arraigned was extraditabe or not evcn
SO far as to deprive tho accused Of
the privilege Of his right under the writ Of habeas
corpus is also regarded as begging Of the question
which betrays the poverty OF the argument Secretary
Fish is constrained to answer the note in despatch
and thus itself and the negotiations for Wnsows
tradition undergo what may provo fatal protraction.
