department and in response the Oh
mission certified to him the names Of
four persons from which to make the

Laredo special says: Considerable
| Geographic correspondence is passing
relative to a young citizen Of Loredo
named Tremble, who was arrested a
few days ago under a warrant Of Dis
trict Judge Russell, acting as extra
ditiOn agent upon the demand Of the
Mexican, who charged Tremble with
completely in the Mexican national
train robbery. Secretary Freling-
huysen takes the ground that the
treaty does not authorize the delivery
of an American citizen TO the Mexl-
can courts for trial. The secretary |
says the constitution OF the United
States guarantees each citizen the
right of trial by jury and the benefit
OF the writ OF habeas corpus. The
correspondence las been transmitted
through the governor of Texas. Judge
Russell holds that the treaty makes
it incumbent upon him to deliver tn !
prisoner to the Mexican authorities.
and if the proof is sufficient he will
do so. unless prevented by some su-
periOr authority.
