The Senate removed the Injunction of
secrecy from the Chinese treaty but not
from the Presidents letter of transmttal
both of which have been-published; it also
removed the injunction from the British
Extraditon Treaty, reported by Senator
Morgan, Jan. u, subsequently recommitted
in consequence of Senator Riddleberger's S
opposition, this too has been published.
Article lst of the treaty, extends the prov
lsions existing in the extradition treaty to
the crimes of manslaughter burglary and en-
bezzlement to the amount of $50. Malicious
injuries to property was amended in clause
/, by the Senate committee on foreign re-
latons The added provisions are ones
which Secretary Bayard's friends have dis
avowed and understood to be the chief
grounds of Riddleberger's opposition. The
clause as it appears in the treaty sent to the
Senate was; Malicious injuries to property
whereby the life of any person
shall be endangered, such injuries con
stitute crime according to the
laws of both the high contracting parties
The Senate committee on foreign relations
amended this to read malicious injuries to
persons or property by the use of explosives
or malicious injuries by the obstruction to rail-
ways, whereby the life of any person shall
be endangered, if such injuries constitute a
crime according to the laws of both of the
high contracting parties, or according TO the
laws of that political division of either coun-
try in which the offense shall have been com
mitted and of that political division of either

FROGS AND SNAKES.
Some Facts From the Snakery OF til
King Of 0uf1.,.

Some Facts From the Snakery OF the
King of Dude.
The late King of Dude had built a
snakery in the gardens of his palace at
Garden Reach, near Calcutta. 1t was
an oblong pit about thirty feet long by
twenty feet broad, the walls being
about twelve feet high and perfectly
smooth, SO that a snake could not
crawl up. In the center of the pit
there was a large block of rough ma
sorry, perforated so that it was as full
of holes as a sponge. In this honey
combed block the snakes dwelt, and
when the sun shone brightly they came
out to bask or to feed.
His Majesty used to have live frogs
put into the pit, and amused himself by
seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs. When a large snake catches a
small frog, it is all over IN an instant,
but if a smallish snake catches larg-
ish frog, SO that he can not swallow ii
at once, the frogs cries are piteous to
hear. Again and again have heard
them while out shooting, and have gone
to the bush or tuft of grass from which
the piercing cries came-sometimes in
time, sometimes too late to save poor
froggy though the snake generally got
shot. As a final story let me tell how
frog has been seen to turn the tables
! on the snake.
Two gentlemen in Cachar some years
ago saw a small snake seize q small
frog and attempt to swallow it. But
suddenly a large frog jumped forward
seized the snakes tail, and began to
swallow the snake. How the affair
might have ended can not be told, be-
cause my friends imprudently drew
near to watch the combat, when the
frogs and snake took alarm, and the
big frog disgorged.the snakes tail, and
the snake released the little frog, and
they all scuffled off. But the tale is
perfectly true, and both the gentlemen
who saw it are still alive; and I only
regret that it was not my good luck e
see the affair with my own eyes,

AN HISTORIC SPOT.
A Chapel Crypt in Paris Full of Relics
the Great Kayolution.

A Chapel Crypt In Paris Full of Relics of
tho Great Revolution.
One of the most interesting places
in Paris is now open to visitors. This
is the Crypt of the famous chapel of
the Carmelite friars, whose convent
was used as prison and also as a
human slaughter-house during the
Terror" The crypt has been thrown
open to the public since the beginning
of last week. 1t is situated in the Rue
de Vaugirard, which may be reached
easily from the main boulevard. The
chapel-crypt contains many relics of
the age of blood, which was inaugur-
ated by the great revolution, among
them being the skulls and bones of the
priests who were massacred in 1892.
These victims were about 200 in num-
Der, and they were literally hacked to
death by the marsellies, to whom they
were delivered up by Maillard. In
March, 1893, the garden OF the convent
was turned into an al .tresco dancing
place called the "Bal des Tilleuls,"
where the 'Grilles d. Egout'' and La
Goulues'' of the day distinguished
themselves by their photographic
cochonneries. Later on the convent
prison contained within it's walls Jo-
sephine de Beauharnais, who had been
marked for the guillotine, but became
wife of the First Consul Bonaparte; the
lovely Nine. Tallien, the Nine. Gauth-
ereau of the directory, who also wore
Greek fllets like her modern imitator;
Vergniaud, Nine. de Cuisine, and the
two poor mountebanks, the Loisons,
who were found guilty of treason
against the powers that were by having
dressed one of their marionettes in
their 'Guignop theater in the Champs
Elysees as Charlotte Corday and made
It sing out, Down with Marat!'' To
q comparatively recent period some Of
the inscriptions written on the convent
walls by unhappy and illustrious pris-
oners were still visible,-Payis CIR.
