correspondence is passing relative to a young
citizen of Laredo named Tremble, arrested a
few days ago under a warrant from District
Judge Russell, acting as extradition agent upon
demand of the Mexican authorities. who charge
Tremble with completely in the Mexican national
train robbery. Secretary Frelinghuysen takes
the ground that the treaty does not authorize the
delivery of an American citizen to Mexican
courts for trial. The Secretary says that the
Constitution of the United States guarantees
each citizen the right Of trial by jury and the
spondence has been transmitted through the
Governor of Texas. Judge Russell holds the
treaty makes it incumbent upon him to deliver
the prisoner to the Mexican authorities and if
the proof is sufficient he will do so, unless pre-
vented BY some superior authority.

The Same Right,

New York Graphic.
Why should not women have the Same right
to be physicians that men have? There are
specialties in medicine, as in everything else.
There are doctors of the eye and ear, Of
the lungs, of particular diseases Of
every kind. The woman physician would
attend almost wholly to the demands
of her own sex. and her experience ought to
teach her, in addition to the education necessary
to the position, a great deal that men cannot
possibly learn. The Chinese woman partially

of women to administer it,
