A BoA-CoNSTRICToR ON SHIPBoARD.-Mr.
Frank Nash writes as follows to the London
Times: will you kindly allow me to give
your readers short description of an in
teresting event which occurred at the Lon
don docks recently, being the capture of a
large 'boa-constrictor,' ~on board the ship
Surprise, which had just arrived from Port
Natal laden with wool and hides. IL ap-
pears that while at the port she went within
the bar to load, being small vessel, and
consequently was close to the bush. One
evening, after her cargo had been shipped,
while the crew were having little jollitica-
ton among themselves, one of the sailors,
who happened to possess a concertina, was
playing various tunes for the amusement of
his companions. l..i,un.. ..I ..., .. =
|" 1t is supposed that the music attracted
the sboa' on board, and being disturbed it
must have found its way into the hold, as
the matches were otfrat the time, and con-
cealed itself among the cargo, as it was not
discovered till the ship was well on her
VOYAGE home. When she arrived in dock
the question arose as to how it was to be
captured. but, with the assistance OF Mir.
,Jamracb. it was successfully accomplished.

To the Editor Of the World: III
Sir.-On the 18th OF May last you did me
the honor to print q communication, i'll
which expressed the opinion that sound
construction of the treaty Of 1872 between
England and the United States requires that
fugitive from justice shall be delivered up
for trial for the offence for winch his extra
dition is demanded, and for no other pur-
pose. I did not base this view upon the
British statute OF 1870, but ] based it upon
the proper construction of the treaty as 1t
ought to be regarded by both nations. My
attention, however, has since been called
by friend in Georgia to very important
piece OF evidence, which shows that In
1S4S Congress put q construction upon all
cXtradition treaties entirely ia accordance
with that which had supposed to be the true
construction of the treaty OF 1912. The extra
ditiun treaty Of 1912 with England was the
first convention of this kind negotiated by us.
In 1913 similar treaty was made with
France. In 1913 Congress passed an act
entitled can act for giving effect to certain
treaty stipulations between this and foreign
governments, for the apprehension and de-
livery up OF certain offenders" This law, by
its express terms, applies to all cases Gin
which there now exists, or hereafter may eX-
ist, any treaty or convention for extradition
between the Government Of the United States
and any foreign government" 1t provides
that on the proper prinaa facte proof that the
person demanded is duly accused OF one OF
the treaty crimes, he shall be surrendered, by
order OF the Secretary OF State, to the foreign
government demanding him, ''to be tried
for the crime Of which such person shall be
so accused. and such person shall be deliY-
cred up accordingly" The addition OF the.
words "and for no other crime I" would
not have added one .iota Of strength to the
meaning Of this provision. by every sound
rule OF construction the expression OF the
purpose that the surrender is to be for 8
trial OF the specific crime for which the de-
]nand is made and aeceded to is an exclu-
sion of every other purpose. This LAWS re-
enacted in the Revised Statutes, sec
ton 5,272, and under it the Secretary
OF State is bound to limit his order Of ex.
tradition TO trial for the offence for which
the person is demanded, Just az much and
for the same reason that the British Foreign
Office is bound to observe the same liniita-,
ton. II the treaty Of 1912 is to be abro-s
gated or to fail Of execution in the case OF
Winslow or any other fugitive because our.
Executive will not accept surrender

HEROIC RESCUE OF A DROWNING INFANT B,

...r. q. ITS MOTHER.
Tuesday afternoon picnic was given at
Analostan Island, opposite Georgetown, by
an organization of this city known Us the
WcSt-End SocialS. A large number OF per-
sons were in attendance, and the boat ply
ing between Georgetown, and the islandwas
loaded with living freight each trip. The
boat is propelled over the course by a line
stretching across the river, and at the island
very inferior and imperfect structure has
been placed there for a landing. So incon-
venient is the pier that it is with the utmost
difficulty that women and children can dis
embark with safety; and although Of late
there have been but few accidents reported
as having occurred at this place, there was
enacted scene on Monday afternoon which
was truly thrilling in each detail, and but
for the intervention of Providence would
have provedfatal. The water at the pier is
quite deep, and swift current sweeps
around the rocks upon which the landing is
built with theiYelocity of mill-race.
On the afternoon in question party con-
sisting mostly of, ladies and children crossed
over to the island, and when the landing
was reached, prepared to disembark. a lady
(whose name could not be learned) with her
baby in her arms .was among the first to get
ut.-AS she stepped forward the boat moved
slightly, and her child was thrown from her
arms into the whirlpool below. The little
one sank instantly, and was being rapidly
carried away, when the mother, with heroic
presence OF mind, threw of her bonnet,
spraug into the water, and grasped her dar-
ling Just as it was sinking the second time.
Battling tercely with the strong current she
managed to gain Roadway, and amid scene
Of the widest excitement reached the shore,
and was received by the shouts of number
OF persons who had assembled there. The
mother and child were taken in charge and
well cared for, dry garments procured, and
IN hour afterward appeared as comfortable
and happy as though nothing unusual had
TRANSFERRED: The excitement and rush among
the inmates OF the boat at the time that the
lady sprang after her infant caused every
one to start to their feet, and in doing so a

rious injuries resulted, and their only mis-
fortune was wet clothing. They, too, were

CURIOUS PRANgs OF AN ENGINEERS IaAaI

The following story was told us yesterday
by agentlcman who vouches for It's correct
ness, and whose statements are entitled to
full credit. ltmay therefore be considered
as entirely reliable. The details are very
singular, and we give them publicity be-
cause they are not only strange, but develop
a new species OF preSentimcnt unlike any
thing Of the kind OF which we have ever
heard or read: ,
A few nights ago the train Of the Morgan
railroad started from Rrashear heavily laden.
There was an unusually large number Of
cars, and the locomotive travelled at q very
slow rate OF speed. -"
When about half way between Lafourche
and Terrebenne station the engineer gave
the portentolls and loud danger-signal,
aud immediately whstled "down. brakes"
When the train was stopped several persons
ran UP to the engine to inquire the cause !;
the engineer responded that he was sure he
had Just run over man. The train was
backed slowly for fully half mile, and
every inch OF track and the surrounding
locality infinitely searched, but nobody was
found. , .., .. s..,..
The engineer was told this, but he per-
sisted in his statement, and only after re-
newcd and very careful search was he con-
yinced Of his mistake. He stated, however,
that he would have sworn that he had run
over man, and described his peculiar and
terrible sensation as he imagined the wheels
of his engine rolling over the body, and in
stinctively he blew the regulation whistle
to stop the train. s..~,s.. 4...s.-l-. s....
| The man must have actually suffered,
so intense and acute did his Imagination
work, and il was some time before he be-
came fully satisfied of his mistake. This
part Of the story is, in itself peculiar, but
| the sequel is still more strange; for hardly
| had the train reached the end of another
mile when the whistle again sounded "down-
brakes" and again the train was brought to
i stand. Inquiry elected the same story
| from the engineer, and the same degree OF
positiveness characterized his assertion. At
tempts were made to induce him, to pro-
| coed, but he would not do SO until tue road
was examined some distance back.
This was finally agreed to, and contrary
| to all expectation the searchers discovered
that this time the engineer was right, the
| train had run over and killed man Just the
moment the whistle blew. OF course, all
were astonisled, and were very sorry to
find that the engineers fears were realized.
The body WAS brought to the city Oh the
same train.-Ne,o Orleans Bulletin.

uartments that distinguish a great and pros
porous people. The Old White has some
thing more than ten decades of history but
only nine of actual progress in hygienic ap-
probation, for it is only for about that pc
Rod that it has been known and appreciated
by civilized man. This year it opens its
summer season with more evidences of
adaptation to public want than ever before.
There has been Il thorough renovation of
all the iong-eXiSting houses on the grounds,
and many OF them have been so altered as
to make them tar more comfortable than
heretofore, While the completion OF the new
and elegant hotel known as the sPeyton
