all the Republican and Democratic electors.
Mr.. Odelrs evidence was to this effect:
On the day the college mot he, in
company with Cartwright and Watts,
they being gthe three Republicans claiming
election, went to Secretary Chadwick, and
demanded certificates, which were refused.
They were referred to Gov. Grover. who in
formed them that he would deliver the certif-
Gates to the parties entitled to them at the
Capitol at IL o'clock the same day. Secretary
Chadwick, at the hour mentioned, handed
Cronin an envelope containing a certif,
cate Of the Governor, which was read by
Cronin. He (OdelD asked Cronin to produce
the certificates Of each member for the gui-
dance of the college. which was declined.
Watts then resigned. After some converse
ton Cronin said to witness; EDO under
stand you refuse to recognize me?" To which
the witness replied that he wanted the certid-
Gates produced, and would act with any one
legally elected. Cronin then left in anger,
and the two Republicans appointed Watts to
fill his own vacancy.

Progress in Burmah.

The King of Burmah understands
that Russia is about to invade England
in consequence, he is putting his new
mud forts in order. He has purchased
three new Krupp field-guns, and with
these feels himself impregnable. He
has already tried some of these guns on
his unsuspecting subjects, and finds
that the ordnance answers all expecta-
tions. His Majesty personally observed
the exhilarating effects of shell and
grape and canister on a village three
quarters of mile distant from the firing
point. The villagers skipped nimbly
about, to the great delight Of their SOW
ereign lord, who soon set their village
afame. Rockets were also tried with
surprising effect, especially as one sud
denly burst and killed leading palace
functionary who was engaged in deity
training the missile. His Majesty, the
divine owner Of the white elephant, was
so incensed at this that he ordered few
to shots be fred into the shipping in
Irawaddy river, which flows past his
capital of Mandalay. Two native crafts
were observed to sink before the whole
of the vessels could cut and slip. His
Burmese Majesty is confident that with
his Krupp guns he may safely defy any
such puny foreign power as Britain.
On the strength Of this opinion His
Majesty has united his sacred person to
three more wives, and there's "sound
of revelry" in Mandalay.

modified by the votes of both chambers
and the sanction of the Sultan.

The Exfradition Treaty.

The President, in mis- recent message
to Congress in the extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, says:
1t is with great satisfaction that have to
announce that Her Majesty's Government,
while expressing its desire not to be under
stood to recede from the Interpretation which
in it's previous correspondence it had put upon
the treaty, but having regard to the prospect
of new treaty and the powers possessed by
either party of spontaneously denouncing the
old one, caused the rearrest OH the 4th inst OF
Brent, enc OF the fugitives who had been pre-
viously discharged, and after awaiting the re-
qulsite time within which the fugitive is en-
titled to apply for bis discharge, on the 2lst
surrendered him to the agent appointek ON
behalf OF the Government to receive and con-
vey him to the United States. AS this surren-
der by Great Britain, without condition or stlp-
ulation OF any kind being asked, removes the
obstacle which interrupted the execution OF
the treaty, I will no longer abstain from max
ing demand on Her Majesty's Government Tor
the surrender OF fugitive criminals, nor from
entertaining acquisitions of that character
from that Government under the treaty OF
1912, but will again regard one treaty as opera
tive, hoping to DO able before long to conclude
with Her Majestys Government new treaty
OF broader and more COMPREHENSIVE nature.

Right of Asylum.

In one of the State papers communi-
Gated to Congress by Secretary Fish, the
position of the United States in relation
to granting asylum to citizens of other
Governments is succinctly stated. The
case arose out of the arrest of some
criminal within the Legation building
in Bolivia. The Minister declined to
give the persons seeking refuge there
asylum, and reported the case to the
State Department, and his action was
approved. In communicating the ap-
prevail Secretary Fish says:
With reference to your request for the views
of the department upon this question: it may
be remarked that it has been the universal
practice of this Government to discountenance
the granting of asylum by it's Diplomatic and
Consular officers.
Among other objections to granting asylum
to citizen or subject of foreign Govern
ment may state that, if persons charged
with the commission of offenses can be sure
of being screened in foreign Legation or
Consulate they will be much more apt to at
tempt the overthrow of authority than if such
place of refuge were not open to them.
The right of asylum to persons charged with
the commission Of political offenses within
foreign Legation or Consulate is believed to
have no good reason for continuance, to be
mischievous in it's tendencies, and to tend to
political disorder.
These views have been frequently expressed,
and, while this Government is not able of
itself to do away with the practice in foreign
countries, it has not failed on appropriate oc-
casion to deprecate it's existence, and to in
struct it's representatives to avoid committing
it thereto. Upon a recent occasion, occurring
in the Island of Hayti, where, as represented
to the department, the asylum was forced upon
the Minister, it was found necessary to give a
renewed and emphatic expression to these
views.

News for the Peltee.

All along the lines of railroads, es.
pecially between here and Louisville and
here and st, Louis, thieves are engaged
in stealing passengers baggage, trunks,
v%alises, etc. The rogues get on the train,
aud when any passenger gets up from his
seat At a station the thief snatches the
valise and gets of. he then returns on
the next train and gets off at some other
station, to again board a train and 20
through the same operation. The thieves
even put up at hotels, and order baggage
men to check a trunk or two to some dis.
tant point, the trunk belonging to some
traveller who may discover his loss prob.
ably next day. These baggage raiders are
thieves from Northern cities, who are in.
vading the South this winter. The police
authorities of many Eastern cities have
notified the authorities of many South.
ern cities that hundreds of well.known
burglars, pickpockets, safe-blowers and
garroters have left such Eastern cities
disguised as tramps en- route for the
Southern States. Our police officials
should keep a sharp lookout; the chief.
captains and sergeants should ride
around daily and nightly, as the rules
and regulations prescribe, and see that
every patrolman does his duty. If an
officer fails to do his duty the patrolman
should not be punished for failing to do
his part. A bad example has a bad effect,
and poor officers make poor soldiers or
pstrolmen. If the police commissioners
would only make the efficient sergeants
captains and make the latter sergeants
the public would be much better pro-
tected.
