TnE progress of the "Anti-Saloon'

crimes not before provided for namely,
manslaughter. burglary, embezzle-
ment or larceny Of the value of iifty

dered; and if other crimes are
alleged against him, he must be re-
turned to the country from which he

made. No criminal shall be surren-
dered FOR a political offence, or if he
can prove to the competent authorities

faulters or embezzelers who may

that is sure to slip His memory, one thing
He is sure to forget, and that Is pardoned
