BosroS April 20, 1874
Mr. Fish, Secretary OF State states that he has as
yet received reply from the British with
respect the note sent to Earl Derby the winsow
matter. The fact that reply has been received is
regarded by Mr. Fish as hopeful indication that the
British government may yet surrender winslow. Tho
House Committee Foreign Affairs has decided TO
take action In the until the I'd Of May, the
time when under the OF Parliament Of 1870 Win
slow win be released unless extraditcd. At that time
II the British government has not surrendered Win
slow, It is probable that the Foreign Affairs Committee
will the abrogaton OF that portion of the
Ashburton which relates to the extradtion Of all
classes OF criminals
NEW THEORY
OF the reason why wnslow has not been exradited
has recently been preached here and is believed by
persons high authority. IL is that there conflict
between the Home and Foreign Office, and that the
Foreign Office is exceedingly ANXIOUS to surrender
Winsow and to preserve the extraditon treaty. In
confirmation OF this theory attention called to the
fact that within the past two serious COM
pcations have arisen between the Home and Foreign
Once, IRON which the Foreign ONCE has with great
difficulty exiricated tho government IL appears that
tnero ~ great jealousy between these TWO branches
OF the government, both TO jurisdiction and pre-
rogative and that the Home Office frequently takes
initiative which the Foreign Office Is compelled TO fol-
low the united action OF the government Tho
present instance Is cited one OF them. Secretary
Fish thinks winslow will DO exlradted Whatever
truth there may be In this theory, IL Is very certain
that Secretary Fish is confident that Great Britain will
surrender Wnsow, rather than consent the aoroga-
lion OF the Ashburton treaty If this proves 10 be
fact, the concession will necessarily come from the
Foreign Once.
THE HosToN OFFICERS AWAITING ORDERS.
The Boston Chief OF Police says that since the
message TO await further orders has been sent ON
GERS Dearborn and Wood at London. nothing has been
done by the local authorities The attitude OF the
British government remains the same with regard TO
the extradon OF the great forger The Boston dctec
tives killing time best they may in the British
capital and know not what day bring forth the
way OF additional Instructions Mayor Cobb Is out OF
town at present and probably further steps will be
taken IN the matter until the expiration Of the sixty
days allowed by law Tor the detention OF the prisoner
Al the end Of that period OF timeif the British gov
mont stands by It's determination to enforce the act
Of Parliament which requires that the prisoner shall
be given up only condition oil pledge that he shall
be tried for offence which his extradtion Is de-
manded-the probability is that the officers will be
called The present deadlock between the
does not especially concern the Boston authorities.
They have done all their duty in the premises, and
s'awat further orders"
