The Dudes and Mrs. Cleveland


class of society people whose hearts Mrs
Cleveland has failed to win, and that class
is the gilded young beaux. Her personal
charms are all that they could desire, but
she has shown such slight recognition of
their attractions that they are disguised
with her bad TASTE Ever since she be-
came mistress of the White house she has
shown preference for the company and
conversation of old men. While her talk
ing to them is vivaci0us full Of bright
repartee and altogether charming, with the
elegant younger generation of So
ciety men she is quite the op-
posite. Her manner is chilly to a de-
gree. She says little, and although
she smiles occasionally the smile is of that
cold, discouraging kind that dams up the
flow of conversation. The young men
cannot understand it. They cannot COM
prehend why she prefers dry old legislators
to their elegant selves. Their self-esteem
has been wounded again and again, and
when they hear the praises of the presi-
dents wife they are by no means inclined
to join in the chorus. 1t is said that she
move than once expressed something like
contempt for the youth who move in Off
cial circles here. This is not surprising
for outside OF the army and navy circles
the young men are hardly such as capital
society can be proud of. There are in So
ciety here more
IDLE AND UTTERLY WORTHLESS
young fellows than can be found in the
same area anywhere i'll the United States.
All their thoughts seem to be given to
dress, personal adornment and pleasures of
more or less commendable nature Most
of them are sons of our law makers and de-
pend for subsistence on their fathers. They
are degenerate sons of worthy sres physic-
ally as well. While all the senator's with
one or two exceptions, and fully three
fOurthS of the members are large able
bodied men, most of their hopeful sons are
cigaret-smoling dudes, small, narrow
cheSted. week kneed and delicate. That
Mrs. Cleveland should prefer the brave old
veterans, who are manly i'll person, as well
as in their mode of life, to
the man striplings, who smile
through receptions, is not remarkable
except to the striplings themselves. Of
the senators, Mrs. Cleveland seems to like
most the conversation of jolly old Sawyer
of Wisconsin. He is such fatherly old
gentleman. so full Of jokes and laughter,
and so gentlemanly withal that no woman,
or man either, can help liking him. Mr.
Sawyer goes to the White house quite
often, and his talk is so much enjoyed by
Mrs. Cleveland that he has become one of
her most enthusiastic admirers. Mrs
Cleveland is the finest converser have ever
met" said the senator a few days ago. 1t
is suspected that he meant Finest listener"
for Sawyer invariably does ali the talking
in company The presidents wife also
likes to talk with the venerable Wilson of
Maryland, who looks so much like
A REvOLUTIoNAEY WORTHY.
When she visited the capitol a few weeks
ago Senator Wilson met her at one of the
senate entrances and quite long talk ell
sued, which seemed TO be enjoyed very
much by both. Mr.. Wilson was at the
White house but two or three times before
the presidents marriage. Since that event
he is perhaps the most frequent caller
among the senators. Mrs. Cleveland has
said that he is the handSOmeSt old gentle
man in Washington, and most people will
agree with her in that view. 1t is whS-
pered that Senator German of the same
state does not like this turn of affairs. So
far he has had undSputed control of the
federal patronage in Maryland and he
fears that his colleagues frequent visits to
the White house may have some political
meaning. Another favorte at the White
house since June > is eX-GOv. Curtin, per-
hapS the most venerable looking man in the
house. He is fond of spinning out war
"reminiscences and Mrs. Cleveland likes to
listen to them. Capt. Eads, who accom-
panied her on her visit to the capital, is the
latest to be added to the White house IA

DEFAULTERS WELL SHUDDER
And Dynamiters Quail Because OF
the New Treaty with Canada.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-In spite of the
Il of 70 Il
positively known that the much-talked-of
eXtradition treaty between the United
States and Great Britain was signed i'll
London on June % by Minister Phelps and
Earl ROseberry. 1t was sent by the pres-
dent to the senate on June s, with mes
sage advising its ratification. The foreign
affairs committee, to which it was promptly
referred, has not acted upon it as yet, but
there can be no doubt that it will be favor
ably received and ratified by the senate.
The new treaty is supplementary to that
of 1912, which was signed in Washington
by Daniel Webster as secretary of
state, and Lord Ashburton, minister
plenipotentiary OF Great Britain. 1t retains
in force the provision of the article of that
treaty, which deals entirely with the ques-
ton OF the eXtraditiOn Of criminals and III
cludeS among the crimes made eXtraditable,
murder, assault with intent to commit mur-
der, piracy, robbery, arson, forgery and
the utterance of forged paper. To these
new crimes the new treaty adds four others
-manslaughter, burglary, embeZzement or
larceny involving the amount of $50 or SO
or upwards, and finally malicious destruc-
ton of property which endangers the life of
Others, and which in either country is made
a crime by law. This last provision, of
course is meant to cover the crimes of
which dynamiters and socialists have been
guilty. The treaty, however, specifically
eXempts from extradition persons who have
been convicted of merely political offenses.
Upon this point the treaty is explicit. Its
provisions are clear and are be-
lieved to admit of no possible mis-
Interpretation. 1t is also specially
provided that in no manner shall the treaty
be considered retroactive in Its scope, or be
50 construed as to include under its opera
tons past ofienses. This will be glad
tidings, no doubt, to the bank presidents,
cashiers and aldermen who have made
Canada their home for the past few years.
The treaty is to 60 into effect ten days
after ratification, and is to be terminated at
the wish Of each contracting party. Prac-
tically, negotiations for a new and more
satisfactory eXtraditiOn treaty than that of
1912 have been going on for more than nine
years. They date from the time that Mr.
Fish was secretary of state under President
Grant. From the correspondence already,
it appears that this treaty, if ratified, will
be followed Soon afterward by new and
more comprehensive one. In this respect
the present treaty is to be regarded as a
temporary measure, designed to check, to
some extent, the emigration to Canada, and
the irregularities of socialists and dyna-
miterS.
