BAUM is in the clutches of the law,
but will he be brought back to trial,
is the question now being agitatedf The
extradition law between the United
States and Great Britain, the HERALD
now believes under the Ashburton
treaty and subsequent amendments,
provided for the extradition of alleged
offenders charged with certain crimes.
Embezzlement was not among them,
and Emo plays billiards on the Can
ada side with his friends from
the United States bank of the
river. But it seems that ar
son is one Of the extradition
offenses and BAUM is charged
with arson. He has employed
attorneys to contest the case in
Canada, and his attorneys heresay that
he can make the issue there as to
whether or not he is guilty of arson, ac-
cording to the laws Of the state where
the alleged arson has been committed.
They say, too, that the insurance COM
panies of Dallas, where he was indicted
for arson, have settled with him for his
claims upon them in the matter Of the
fire with which he has been charged as
the originator, and that the decisions
support him in BAUM's claim to be
tried on the question Of guilt or limo
cence of the charge. 1t is not altogether
certain that SAM will return to us.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. l2.-The executive
of the National Cattle and
Horse Growers association has been in
secret session here the better part of
two days, and tonight gave out the re-
suit of the conference. The committee
had long discussion regarding the
specific and general interests of the as
ISOLATION and the best methods of carry
ing out its objects, and among other
things decided to urge the stock growers
of the country to organ
ize auxiliary state associations,
so they may have effective
representations in the National associa-
ton and TO be in a better position to
influence or procure favorable legisla-
ton, and with this in view they in
structed their Secretary, Amos Il. At
water, to make tour Of the
states represented by the fifteen vice
presidents OF the n atiOnal association
TO bring the matter directly before the
stOckmen and aid in the organization of
such auxiliary bodies and the commit
tee also adopted memorial address to
the railroads Of the country, in which
it refers To the powerful
influence railroads and points out how
they can be Instrumental IN preventing
the spread of contagious diseases and
Spanish fever among cattle, with view
to eilecting the abrogation of the present
conflicting state quarantine laws and
the adoption OF uniform system.
They propose that railroads shall
have separate pens and gangways
for southern cattle which
are liable to communicate
splenetic fever for cattle, coming from
districts where pleurO-pneumonia is
known to exist, and also for imported
cattle, during term Of quarantine; all
! such cattle to DO completely
isolated from domestic and healthy
animals. They also urge that the cars
used i'll transporting cattle BIO thor
oughly fumigated and disinfected after
each trip, or before they are transferred
to another road. The railroads are also
asked to provide for regular feeding
and watering stock in transit.

THE death Of GEN. EARLE, in the

ties are that while the British troops
captured little fortification hastily
thrown up by the rebels, they were ter
ribly punished The dispatches report
ing GIN. EARLE and three other officers
killed and only eight soldiers lost in the
battle, is too absurd for belief. The re-

The fact that the British authorities
have interdicted any newspaper CORE

evidence that those given to the public
are unreliable.
