of e first section OF the Resumption act OF last WINTER
In place Of the fractional currency ana the siNer on
hand was shipped to the various eenters In
order to be convenient when the ORDER sh'ud
he issued 1t is claimed by many that the
ACT in question was mandatory, and that the secretary
had no recourse except to pay out the silver lie hcs
tated to take responsibility notwithstanding the TACT
that the appropriation for printing the Hacuohi cur

more than month printing Of the fractional currency
has taken place. and the supply Is so low III he treasury

Dify its wish to terminate it, and no longer.
In 1870 the British Parliament passed an act au-
thorzing negotiation of treaties with other govern
ments touching the extradition of criminals, but
quirng provso to be inserted in all such treaties
that the criminal thus delivered up shall not be
tried for any other ofense than that for which ex
tradition was asked. In accordance with this act,
the British Government has requested that before
Winsl0w is surrendered to the American authorities
the President shall secure the passage of act by
Congress providing that he shall not be tried for any
crime except that for which he has been arrested.
This request has been positively refused by Gov
ernment, which holds that under the treaty of 1912
it is the duty of Great Britain to surrender Wnslow
at once, no notice having yet been given by the Brit
sh Government of its desire to terminate the tenth
article of that treaty. 1t is also held that the Presi
dent take notice Of the act of the British Para
ment of 1870, of any other such act nor allow
that body to indicate the terms which criminals
shall be delivered to the United States authorities
which arc not in accordance with the treaty eX
listing.
1t is not understood that the British Government
has absolutely refused to surrender WnslOw, but it
has not yet agreed to do so. 1t has been suggested
that if the British Parliament can set aside the
treaty of 1912 it can also set aside the Treaty OF
Washington OF any other treaty which has been ne
gotiated between the two governments. This how
ever does not necessarily follow, since provision
in the 1th article of the Ashburton Treaty referred
to provides for the termination of the article under
discussion on the simple notice Of either Of the gov

lBr TELEGRAPH THE TRIBrSEl
WASHINGTON, March 26-The report that Mt.
New, United States Treasurer is soon to retire Is
again revived. This time it seems to have more
foundation, although the previous reports came
from the Treasurer himself. Mr. New has signihed
to the President bis intention to retire, and has
gone so far az to write his letter of resignation The
only bar to his retirement at once is the choice of
his successor If he can name his successor he will
retire during the present week. He does not want
new and inexperienced man to succeed him, for
many very good reasons. He has recommended Mr..
Wyman the Assistant Treasurer, but says he Will he
as well satisfied with Mr.. Gilfian, the Cashier of
the Treasury. 1t is probable that one of these
gentlemen will be appointed.
