The Extradition OF Byrne and Sheridan.
LONDON, March 1.-The Times says the ap-
plication for the extradition of Byrne and
Sheridan iustifes the belief that the govern
ment has a strong prima fscie case to lay be-
fore the French and American authorities
There. will be strong popular protests in France
and America against the extraditiono of persons
who it will be alleged are being prosecuted for
what is really political offence. American
judges are not inaccessible to political infu-
ences, and the fear of the Irish voter is ever
before the eyes of American politicians
The Times in its article says no candid
American or Frenchman would contend that
the case of the Phenix Park murderers was
covered by the privilege accorded political Of
tenders, and asserted in Great Britain after the
attack of Orsini and his accomplices on the
Emperor Napoleon in Paris in 1858, but the
Times says If only completely in the orgaDiZa-
tion OF secret society is alleged against Byrne
and Sheridan, their extradition will possibly
be refused
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on the
| application for the extradition of Sheridan
| says, when Russia wished Europe to refuse an
asylum to Nihilsts, the Austrian Fremenden-
| blatt declared that such demand would give
| Europe a right to ask Russia to terminate the
| regime which produced Nlhilism. 1t would be
unpleasant If the United States Government
| addressed a similar suggestion to Lord Gran
| vile, Foreign Secretary. If the demand for
| the extradition of Sheridan is based soley upon
| the fact of his belonging to the Irish Ihvinci-
bles 1t stands exactly on the same footing as IL
Russia 1aQ asked JOE Ln6 surrender OF frlnC6
| Krspotkine. Not even success in securing the
| surrender of Sheridan would atone fof the
abandonment of the position with regard to
| extradition which we have hitherto maintain
| ed in the face OF Europe. 1t would be even
| worse if the position were abandoned only to
obtain humiliating rebuff.
