THE DEFEATED TREATY.
,Eke Washington Star Says tho Dynamite
 Clause Was tiie Reason.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The action of the senate Wednesday evening ill po-tpon!ng fur ther consideration of the British extradtioa treaty is regarded as equivalent 10 a ilnai re- jection, as it will require two-thirds vote to ratify the treaty. As it did not seem likely when the senate went into secret session that an effort would be made to dispose of the treaty, number of senators left the Capitol and were not present when the vote was taken. and there is some talk of motion to reconsider. Senator Riddeberger was fairly overwhelmed with congratulations at the overthrow of the treaty.
 The Star intimates that dynamite was at the bottom of the treaty. It says: 1.-The ap- parenty sudden acton ill shelving the British extradition treaty caused considerable sur prise and speculation. The fact that this action was taken during the absence Of Sen ator Sherman, chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee, was looked upon as little unusual. It appears, from the best informa- ton to be had, that there was something of a political nature in the movement. The foreign relations committee had amended the treaty by the insertion of a paragraph covering dynamite offenses. The substance of this amendment reached the public through the press, in spite of the rules of secresy, and it aroused prompt and earnest opposition It was asserted that under the dynamite feature England would demand the return of Irish patriots taking refuge in this country; that that provision would be construed with elas- ticity enough by British officials for that nur- pose. In connection with this public discus sion appeared what purported to be dis claimer from the state department as to responsibility for the dynamite provision. In view of the feelings aroused among Irish Americans by the dynamite feature, it is understood that the majority of the senate did not care to have that point at issue pend- ing a presidential campaign. Hence the treaty was laid over until after the next cleo tion, but not upon party vote. It looks as if neither Republicans nor Democrats wanted to take any Share at present of that responsi- hiify D

Wilkins Escapes Conviction.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 10.-John Wilkins, the wealthy young Clevelander, who is claimed as husband by eight women, was discharged by Justice Corey yesterday. Two of the wives, the first and the last, were in court, and certi- fled copies of their licenses were presented, but there was no evidence to show that the parties were actually married. It was found utterly impossible to get witnesses from Penn sylvania and other places, and so nothing could be done but discharge the prisoner.
