WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Secretary Freliug-
huysen's attention was called to the extract
from the inaugural address Of Gov. Ireland,
of Texas, published by the Associated Press
this morning, in which he alludes to thu I'M
satisfactory condition of the Mexican ex-
tradition treaty, aud states ne has made re-
peated efforts through the state depa,tm mt
to induce the discussion of the propriety of
amending the treaty of 1861 so as 10 permit
any one, no matter where his allegiance
may be, to be extradited, but no results fol-
lowed Secretary Frelinghuysen says the
t reaty of 1861 does not permit the United
States to surrender TO Mexico one of its own
citizens; that therefore, this government
cannot demand from Mexico the extsadition
Of Mexican accused of crime committed in
this country, and that the moment this diff
Guilty was seen negotiations were opened
with Mexico for an amended treaty TO cover
this point. Mr.. Frelinghuysen added that o
| time had been lost in this matter, and, in
addition to international negotiations, the
attention of congress was last year called to
the difficulty, with the suggestion that ap
propriate legislation might cure il without
the necessity of treaty.
