sATURDAY......... ............. JUNE II

THE eXtradition case OF WINSLow, the
Boston forger, is virtually ended. The
British authorities, declining to order
his extradition, have ordered his re.
lease. The correspondence between the
TWO Governments has been conducted
with great torbearance and distin.
guished ability. The correspondence
on the part of Mr.. FISH, our Secretary
Of State, has won for himself and his
country great credit throughout Europe
as well as America. And though Wins
low is released, the victory really be
longs to our Secretary.
The point OF difference, briefly stated
is this-Lord DERBY claimed that il
every case of extradition. the reclaim
ing party should be required to stipu
late that the offender should be triec
only for the particular offense stated ii
the demand for eXtradition.
Secretary FISH maintained that thu
offender should be liable to be tried fol
any offense contained in the extraditioI
treaty between the TWO Governments.
Upon this issue the question of in
ternational law now rests. That Mr.
FIsH's proposition is correct can no
be doubted.

On the 11th of May, at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon, Prince MourOussi, Judge OF
the First Court in Alexandria, in Egypt,
was on a visit to Count 2 zinia, at RAM

day had been very warm, and both gen.
tlemen We're ayalling themselves OF the
cool evening by walking on the large
terrace in front of the palace and facing
the sea. Suddenly the Prince thought

Ga longer examination both gentlemen
discovered that young man was drown
lug before their eyes. Immediately the
Count gave orders Tor help to be given
to the unfortunate man, who was visiDly
losing strength, and servants were also
sent to the nearest guard stations on the
coast. In the mean time Prince Mou-
roussi undressed and threw himself inIo
the sea, with the hope of saving the
drowning man.
In spite of The violence of the waves
he was fortunate enough to reach him,
but just as he was gong to seize him by

the drowning YOUTH, and succeeded in
saving him and bringing him TO shore.

his wife lying on the bed, fully dressed,

found on the floor which stated that she
had taken sprychnihe to end her exls-
tence. In the letter she noted the effects
of the poison, and stated that she feared
she had been deceived-that she had
taken morphine instead OF strychnine.

The letter was commenced with pen

The Mikado's Coach.
[London Times, June l.

Probably the most costly state chariot
ever yet built has just been com pleted
Tor the Mikado of Japan by Messrs. NJ or
gan g. Co., Her MajesLy's coach-builders.
The body Of the vehicle is of the finest
Spanish mahogony, and fashioned alter
an old Flemish pattern, which allows OF
an unlimited amount of ornamentation
and exceptional interior comforts. 1t is
considerably larger than European
state carriages, but the peculiarly OF
it's construction admits of the draught
being very light. The panels are
painted rich pale green with light
and gold trellis and scroll ornaments,
the gliding being very profuse. The
metal appointments are silver-gilt, the
door handles and lamps being massive
and richly chased. Traditional en-
blems of Japan, conspicuously the tor
toise and dragon, surmount each corner
of the roof, in the center of which is q
Japanese crown. The interior is luxu-
riously upholstered with both gold, rich
Yalenciennes lace, and green silk VEL
vet ornaments. The under carriage is
scroll-shaped and richly carved and gilt,
the color of the wneeis matching the
body of the vehicle. Permission has
been sought to have the carriage exnib-
tied at the forthcoming horse-show al
the Agricultural Hall. "'

There was never q National Conven-

was there more jealous and faithful

Adherents of "reform" can demand; and
. all that the purer elements of the Repub.
lfcan party can desire In a candidate.
Gen. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES is a ma.
live born Buckeye. He was born al
Delaware, Ohio, In October, 1922. AT
lhe age of twenty years, in 1912, he
graduated honorably at Kenyon College,
Ohio. He subsequently studied law al
Cambridge Law School, and came to the
Bar of Ohio in 1915. here he speedily
commanded a most honorable position
Rt the Bar; and in 1858 he4 raceiveu the
appointment of city Solicitor OF Cincin-
nati, in which office he continued till
1861, the outbreak of the war.
At the beginning of the war he volun-
teered for the country's defense, and
entered the military service as a Major
tn the 23d Ohio Regiment; of which he
soon became the Colonel. He served
with great galiahtfy through the war,
mostly in the Virginia campaigns; and
In 1865 by various promotions, won ON
The battle field, he came out of the serv-
Ice as Brevet Major General.
The year before, In 1864, while yet in
the army, Gen. Hayes was elected to
Congress from the Second Ohio Dis
trict, and reelected in 1866. But, in
1857, being nominated for Governor OF
Ohio, he resigned his seat in Congress,
and at the election OF that year became
Governor Of his native State. In 1869 he
was reelected Governor, and served
till 1871.
