| ExTRADrr1oH CORRESPONDENCE.
The final correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain on the
extradition question, including Earl
Derby's note Of June so, is published.
A correspondent writes from Belgrade:
An order Is published directing that all
persons not soldiers attached to any army
shall wear a'medallion bearing the words:
"Afilanl King OF Serviap This is the
first indicatian Of the true intention OF
Prince Milan. These words are received
as having great political meaning, and
there cnn be no doubt the war is for a
complete separation. Pillage and rob.
berry are ilourishing in Servia. The army
promiscuously distributed are employed
by marauders against farmers and land
ed proprtetors. So many police are with
the army, that it is with great difficulty
the people can resist the attacks OF the
outlaws, Some OF them have been capt
ured and shot without trial.
Earl Derby in his note essential to the
principals Of extradition as practiced by
England are that q person surrendered
on an extradition treaty can be tried on
no offence except the one for which he
is surrendered. This is the proper con-
struction of the treaty Of 1910. Her
Majesty's government thinks that the act
OF 1870 is important, but without it it
would maintain the same position as the
government maintains, the right Of
asylum until criminality, according to
the law OF England, is shown. This
applies iorcibly in the case of political
offences. The great objection requiring
the evidence not merely establishing an
ofiense called by the'nam Of the offence
specified in treaty, but establishing an
offense Of that name according to law Of
the, surrendering country is TO prevent
the surrender OF the person or n charge
OF crime OF uncertain meaning and his
subsequent trial on facts that Consid-
cred here would be establishing polit-
ical otiense, and not n crime for
which the surrender was made.
The surrendering country must have
facts to Judge whether the ofienSc is
political. Secretary Fish's assurance
that no administration dare violate the
rights Of the political asylum by extradit-
ing prisoner on one charge and trying
him for political lofense is not sufficient,
as the Attorney General can not interfere
when the oiiense is committed against the
law Of any one State. The act OF Congress- \
August Il, lS4s, chapter AZ, section 8,
shows the construction put on the treaty
by the United States.
Lord Derby briefly reviews the neGo-
tiations in 1871, 1872 and 1873, and says
that the violation in the case OF He'll
brown was not the act OF Her Maiesty's
Government. The Government believes
the United States is actuated by sim
cere desire to maintain the rights which,
in their judgment, are demanded by the
treaty Of 1912, and they wish the same
construction put on England's motives.
The note deplores the misunderstanding
between.the two governments, and says
the British Government is ready to join
the United States in negotiating a new
treaty.

Atameeting Of the Erie Railway bond
and stockholders to-day Receiver Jewett
made statement Of its condition. He
said the plan OF reorganization submit
ted by 'Sfr Edward Watkins was approx.
ed, but asked that one more coupon be
funded and few other concessions. He
proposed to lay third rail from New
York to Buffalo, to gradually wear out
the old equipment and replace II with
narrow gauge equipment. He felt san
guine OF the success OF the road. Many
speeches followed Jewett's. The state
ment was well received, and Sir Edward
Watkins offered resolution assuring
Jewett OF support and approving the
scheme with the notifications desired by
the committee. Watkins plan mentioned
Ia as follows: That without reducing the
rate of interest. beginning next Sertem.
Der, Ithey should fund four and half
