fugitive criminals is made between the two
Governments. The position thus taken
by the British Government, if adhered
to, cannot but be regarded as the abroga-
ton and annulment of the article of the
treaty on eXtradition. Under these cir
cumstances it viii nvt, in my judgment,
comport with the dignity or self-respect
of this Government to make demands upon
that Government for the surrender of fugitive
criminals. nor to entertain any requisition of
that character from that Government under
the treaty It will be a cause of deep regret
if a treaty which has been thus beneficial
in its practical operations, which has
worked SO well and so efficiently, and which
Notwithstanding the exciting and at the
same time violent political disturb
ances OF which both countries have
been the scene during its existence, has
given rise to no complaints on the part of
either Government against either its spirit or
its provisions, should be abruptly termi-
mated. 1t has tended to the protection of
society, and to the general interests of both
countries. It's violation or annulment
would be a retrograde step in internatiOn-
al intercourse. I have been anxious,
and have made efforts to enlarge its scope
and to make a new treaty which would be
a still more efficient agent for the punish
ment and prevention of crime; ut the same
time have felt it my duty to decline to en-
terrain proposition made by Great Britain,
pending its refusal to execute the existing
treaty, TO amend it by practically conceding
by treaty the identical conditions which that
Government demands under its act of Par
lament.
In addition to the impossibility of the
United States entering upon negotiations
under the menace of an intended violation
or a refusal to execute the terms of an ex-
listing treaty, deemed it inadvisable to
treat of only the one amendment pro-
posed by Great Britain, while the
United States desires an enlargement
of the list of crimes for which extra
dition may be asked, and other improve
ments which experience has shown might
be embodied in new treaty.
1t is for the wisdom of Congress to deter
mine whether the article Of the treaty relat-
ing to extradition is to be any longer regard
ed as obligatory on the Government of the
United States or as forming part of the
supreme law of the land. Should the attitude
of the British Government remain unchanged,
I shall not, without ar expression of the wish
of Congress that should do so, take any &C
ton either in making or granting requisi-
tions for the surrender Of fugitive criminals
under the treaty Of 1912 Respectfully sub
mItted, U S. GRANT.

Talked in Her Sleep.

degree that it became the chief yearn-
ing of her soul, and her beau was SO
everlasting Obtuse of brain that he
couldn't take a hint unless it was the
size of a hay-stack. When he came
round to see her on Saturday night she
was tired, and told him so, soon fur
ther convincing him of the fact by
going to sleep on his shoulder. She
didn't sne' but pretty soon she began
to murmu softly in her slumbers.

OTTAWA school matters are again
undergoing a somewhat vigorous dis
cussion in the local press. some time
ago one of the teachers was insulted
by q pupil after school hours, and by
way Of reprisal he "cuffed" the lad
next morning, taking the precautiOn to
infict the punishment before nine
o'clock. The matter was taken up by
the School Board and referred to a
committee, which summoned the teach
Ell to attend the investigation. This
the latter refused to do, on the ground
that, as the Offense was committed and
the punishment inflicted outside of
school hours, the matter was beyond the
competence of the Board to deal with,
and the only course open to the boy
was to prosecute him as he would any
other citizen, for assault. The Board
then dismissed the teacher for refusing
to obey its summOns.-TOTO1tO Globe.
