EXtra(litiOn Treaty..

LONDON, April 27.-All the LJadon jour
nails editoriaily support the position Of tho
British Government 10 the Winsow cxlradi
tioD case. The Manchester Guardians L>ndon
correspondent, however, says very strong im-
preston Is current that the CROWDS legal ad
vi,crs have led the Government into serious
tangle The point at issue is whether the act
OF 1870 sets aside Americas treaty rights,
and whather all doubts are not removed il
favor OF the prisoners cxtradition By clause A.
Of the ac', which spec Fl y that, whatever Is
consistent with existing treaties shall be ex
cepted from its operation. In the face of SO
simple a set Of circumstances maoy persons are
good deal puzz'ol to understand upon what
grounds the En- lish Government can maintain
It's position.
