The Dynamite Conspiracy.

WAshIEGToS, May S.-Iu regard to al
forns oil the assassination movement in thi.
country, in connection with the Irish quss
ton, il may be assumed with certainty ths
eur government is both ready and anxious
to express its detestatiOn and official con.
demnation Of every feature OF the matter
which can be made a subjsct of legal action.
There is no element of the dynamite con-
spiracy which will be allowed 10 shield itself
behind the absurd plea that il forms part
OF political movement, and tn at the United
States pretends 10 afford refuge for all who
are only charged with political crimes. 1t
~ Bbelieved that our authorities will arrest,
on their Own motion and without a suggestion
from Great Britain, any specific case, any
persons wto may be discovered in
preparing inferual msehines for use
abroad. Il is said that the President regards
II as matter OF good comfy, well as
matter intimately concerning the national
welfare, that prompt steps be taken to show
that party OF assassination is outlaWed in
this country, and that It's members place
themselves outside of all claims 10 any at
tention, except such as will mos. speedily se-
cure their punishment. In case Of requests
from Great Britain for the exlradition of
any persons charged with being accessory to
acts OF assassination, it is certain that our
authorities will not only net lay obstacles in
the way Ct extradition, but that they will
facilitate all measures for securing such as
ssssiDs only taking care that such evidence
Of guilt as is called for by our treaties is
submitted In every case. The administration
has full faith in the cordial support OF all
law-sbidiDg citizens in every step il may
take looking 10 the prompt suppression of
every element OF the assassination move
ment.

what Shall be Regarded as a Political
OIense.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The eItradition
treaty between the United States and Bel
gum, proclaimed last November, contains
an explicit statement in regard to what shall
nos be regarded ss political ofens.. This
treaty expressly declares that its provisions
'shall not be applicable TO persons guilty of
any political crime or offense, or of one con.
nscted with such crime or offense" This,
however, is followed by the following de.
claration: San attempt against the life of
the head of foreign government, or against
that of any member OF his family, when
such attempt Comprises either the act of
murder or assassination, or Of poisoning,
shall not be considered political offsnse, or
an set connected with such an offense." This s
the first tre9ty between the United States and
foreign nation, which expressly provides
that the assassination or attempted assassina-
tion OF the head of the government is not to
be reated as a mere political ofiense, which
is not extraditable, but as a crime, which lie
ex!raditable. 1t is TO be noticed that the
provision applies only 10 attempts sgainst
The life of the head OF the government, OF
any member Of his family. 1t leaves stil
open the question whether an attempt 10 ss
ssssinate a subordinate officer Of the govern
ment is an extraditsbls crime, or a mere
political crime.
