Cannot he Made Public at Present-The
Century Articles on the Russian Exile
System MisleAding-Notes.
NEW YORK, Oct 30.-The Worlds Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs an inter-
view with President Cleveland at Oak View
Sunday evening. The presidents attention
was called to the published statement that
while in New York he had assured Gen. 2.
H. Collins and John Boyle OReiliy that If
Lord Sackville was not recalled within three
days he would be given his passports The
president said that that statement was en-
tirely wrong. He did have a conversation
with Messrs, Collins and O'Reiliy, but it was
almost wholly devoted to the subject of the
extradition treaty, which was postponed by
the recent action of the senate,
"The letter of Lord Sackvlle was only
briefly referred to-, said the President. "I
brought the matter up myself, and took oc-
casion to assure them that they would have
no fault to find with what had been done and
the future course to be pursued in the
matter. told Mr.. Collins and Mr.. OReilly
that / thought the people hardly regarded
me as "a coward in these matters, and when
the facts in the case should become known
the people of this nation would feel satisfied
with the course of the state department..
The subject was then dropped"
The president was asked what point Of the
eStradition treaty was discussed. He re-
piled: ''It was represented to me by these
gentlemen that it has been persistently as
serted that the eXtradition treaty with
Great Britain, which has been published,
contemplated the surrender OF persons
charged with political offenses. l do not
understand how it is possible to SO disJort
language Anybody reading tae treaty
would plainly see that it contemplates no
such thing. The treaty, as at first drawn,
provided for the extraiition of persons
! charged with injury to property, whereby
the life of any person Is endangered, if a
crime according TO the laws of both coun-
tries; and it was SO amended as to make ma
licious injury to property by the use OF ex-
plosives also an extradtable offense."
In reply to question as to whether or not
any demand has been made upon the British
government for the recall of Lord Sackville
and if not whether any assurances have been
received that the British government will
order him to leave Washington, the presi-
dent snd: 81 cannot tell you at this time just
exactly what has been done This is a mat
ter of the greatest delicacy. 1t concerns our
relations with foreign power. We must
do these things with all due dignity and in
accordance with the amenities that must
prevail between two governments on friendly
terms with each cthA. There can fe no nm
seemly haste. The people must be patient
and they mast be assured that every ything
has been done that we could consistently do.
never yet have discussed matters of state
with the outside public, nor can do SO now. u

Watching a Chinese JuSrier.

In a quiet cross town street little side walk audience was gathered the other morning watching Chinese juggler per form some extremely deft feats in the un- compromising publicity of the open air. The juggler was a gray old chap with foxy face and cunning eye. He had a few hairs on his upper lip and few on his chin that bristled out like the whiskers of 6 cat. He wore his native dress, or such approach to it as we are accustomed to see here, and his only apparatus was contained in a little hand sachel made out of woven reed. His tricks were simple, consisting mainly of feats of palming at which he was wonderfully expert He juggled with balls and knives and forks very skillfully indeed, and had pack Of cards which he tossed in the air, causing them to vanish and reappesr apparently at will.
 The most thrilling of his feats consisted in driving e threaded alarming needle through his arm, pulling 1t out on the side opposite its entrance without draw ing a drop of blood This performance was the climax of his show, and when 1t was done another Chinaman went around and gathered in contributions. The crowd settled up, evidently expecting other feats to follow. When the last copper had been extracted the pile was handed to the juggler, who held it in his hand, for all to see that it was there, and then put bis hand to his mouth. When he opened the hand again it was empty, and so was the mouth, which he held gaping like cavern for inspection Thereupon he bowed and stepped of so swiftly that he might al. most be said to have vanished--Alfred Tumble in New York News.

Life Saving Invention.

Robert F. Penney, employed at Win chester's, who recently invented the idea of having dangerous shafting inclosed in a tin jacket, which would not revolve with the shaft in case of an otherwise dangerous contact, has now shown to number of mechanics who approve Of It his latest life saving discovery. Instead of & pulley on an ordinary hanger he pro poses to have a weight attached at the back of all belting running through the floors of a factory. This would be at- tached to the binder pulley, which press ing against the belt tightens 1t by chains. Two long spiral springs are fixed in front of the binder pulley, to give 1t 8 quick mo- tiou when released, as here described. The weight, hanging by tongs such as ice men have, would be fastened to life line running the whole length of the shop-say 200 feet. In case of a man getting caught, anybody. without running the whole length of the room, by pulling line hanging from the life line opens the jaws of the tongs, when the weight drops, and aided by the springs the binder pulley is in a moment thrown out from it's bearing on the belt, thus stopping the machinery. The bell pulls are at intervals, within reach of the workmen or workwomen. The same device can be used as in the or tnary tight and loose pulley system, the weight being so attached as to hold the binder pulley while the shafting Is in mo tion.-New Haven Register.
