 The case of Prince Krapotkin, who is un- dergoing imprisonment at Clairvaux in pur- suance of the sentence pronounced against him st the Lyons Assizes for complicity in revolutionary action, is again attracting pub lie attention. The Prince is permitted to pursue his scientific labor, to read the news- papers, and to have his meals served from the Clairvaux inn. But the misfortune is that his condition of health, which was bad when his imprisonment began, has become SO much aggravated by his confinement at Clairvaux, the situa- ton of which is particularly damp, that he is unable to avail himself of the privileges afforded him. Although but 42 years of age. he is described as having the appearance of an old man, and the doctors say that nothing but Q southern sun can prolong his lie. Under these circumstances the hope is ex- pressed that the French government may be prevailed upon to permit his removal to soma place of confinement in a more favor- able climate His wife, who is an accom- plished woman of thirty, is a constant visitor at the prison, and is almost heartbroken at witnessing her husband approaching the grave day by day in consequence of his exposure to conditions from which she has no power to remove him.
 The original text of the Mexican treaty provided that ''the present convention shall take effect as soon as it has been approved cord1ng to their representative constitutions, but not until the laws and regulations that each shall deem necessary to carry it into operation shall have been passed by both the government of the United States of America and the government of the United Mexican States" This clause was so amended in the Senate as to read: But not until the laws necessary to carry it into operation shall have been passed both by the Congress of the United States of America and by the government of the United Mexican States" :" The amendment was concession to those Senators who entertained doubts regarding the constitutional right of the senate and the Executive to make treaty affecting the reve- nues without the cohcurrent action of the house of representatives. The opinion was entertained by some senators that the orisi- nal text left it optional with the Executive to determine whether any "laws and regula- tions" were necessary to carry the treaty in to effect, and the amendment was framed to place the matter beyond doubt in the hands of Congress-thati is, to give recognition to the rights to the house of representatives. No doubt ia entertained that the house will enact during the present session the neces- sary legislation to give the treaty effect.
