The Russian Extradition Treaty.

Quite an effort is being made TO influence
the Senate against ratifying the extraction
treaty with Russia that is now pending in
the Senate. The MORNING NEWS has re-
ceived communications protesting against
its ratification, and doubtless the press in
all parts of the country has received similar
communications. In view of the fact that
it is not known what the provisions Of the
treaty are, and the belief that neither the
administration nor the Senate is likely to
depart from the attitude which this coun-
try has always maintained with regard to
political refugees, it seems useless to devote
space to communications which may have
no application to any existing condition of
affairs.
Mr.. Scrguis Stcpniak, the famous Russian
Nihilist, who is spoken of as an apostle Of
the gospel Of revolution by assassination,
has sent TO Senator Hawley lengthy letter,
giving his reasons why the treaty should
not be ratified, which he asks TO have pre-
scented TO the committee which has the treaty
in charge. II the treaty contains the pro
visions which he assumes it does his letter
will doubtless be given all the consideration
it deserves
The people OF this country have no SYM
pathy with efforts to bring about revolu-
tion in Russia by means of assassination,
and neither do they have any sympathy with
the despotism and oppression which prevail
in that country. They are not disposed to
do anything calculated to encourage either,
and If the Senate should consider at all the
question Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of giving up
political prisoners it would be because of
the indications of disposition in this coun-
try to resort TO assassination TO accomplish
nolitical DurpOses

The Atlanta University Z preparation.
The trustees of the Atlanta University
have definitely decided not to accede to the
conditions under which they can continue
10 receive for that institution an annual APP
preparation from the State of 5000.
It will be remembered that at the last
session Of the Legislature Mr.. Glenn intro
duced Il bill making it a felony for anyone
to teach whites and blacks in the same
school. The bill passed the House but not
the Senate. A resolution was finally passed
withdraw ng the appropriation unless the
university should use the money exclusively
for the benefit of colored students
1t was supposed that the alternative would
be accepted but the trustees formally de-
termined TO reject it, aud Prof. Bumstead
the financial agent of the university, is now
in New York soliciting funds to cover the
deficit occasioned by this withdrawal of the
Appropriation. The trustees say that they
cannot comply with the terms of the resolu-
ton without violating the conditions on
which the institution recei yes annually from
friends in the North 5000, and without
being untrue to the purposes Of the foun-
ders.
1t is expected that Prof. Bumstead will
be successful in his appeal for aid. In any
event, the university will continue to open
its doors to pupils Of both races. The num-
Der of white pupils, however, will hardly
be increased. 1t has, with one exception,
been confined to the children of the profess
sors. The fact is that neither race cares
for co-education. The whites certainly do
not, and it is only now and then that a
negro leader advocates it. The policy of
the State, however, is against it and the
Legislature acted wisely in so declaring.
There is no desire on the part of the peo-
pie to stand in the way of the development
of the negro race, or to deprive it of the
benefits of the appropriation. Gov. Gordon
is casting about 20 see if the money can be
lawfully given to some other institution,
where only negroes ars taught 1t belongs,
he says, TO them for educational purposes,
and he will consult the Attorney General
with view to ascertainiug if it cannot be
appropriated to their use through some
other channel His intention is commend
able, but it is doubtful if he can legally
carry it out.

q Great VIII Contest.

Interest in the contest of Mrs Stewards
will is rapidly increasing in New York.
The question is Shall the probate of the
will be revokedl Some very sensational
revelations are expected. The heirs Of Mrs.
Stewart are banded against Judge Hilton,
who, it is alleged, got the bulk Of Stewards
millions by fraudulent means.
The plaintiff in the present case is Miss
Resale Butler, who is a niece Of the late
Mrs. Stewart. She is remembered in the
will to the extent of 5000 OOO and if she
fails to break the will she loses her legacy,
Since it is provided that if she attempts to
break the will she is to have nothing. The
same provision is made in the will, how
ever with regard to all the heirs except
Charles j. Clinch.
The best legal talent in New York is en-
gagged in the case which comes W for a
hearing early next month. Roscoe Conk-
ling and ex-Judge Russell will represent
Judge Hilton and Joseph Choate and SEN
ator Eyarts are taking care of the interests
of Miss Butler. 1t is argued, and very
reasonably, too, that if Messrs Choate and
Evarts did not believe Miss Butler had
good case they would not permit her to
risk losing $780, COO 1t is probable, how
ever, that if she loses her case she will not
be penniless, as the other heirs who will be
benefited TO the same extent that she is if
the will is broken have agreed to make
good the greater portion of her loss.
Several attempts were made to break Mr..
Stewards will, and at least one other at
tempt to break Mrs Stewards, but they
were insignificant compared with the pres
emit one. The eminence of the lawyers en-
gagged on either side shows that both parties
expect tremendous legal battle, and that
no effort will be spared to break the will
and none TO preserve its integrity. The
pleadings indicate that some curious and
not altogether reputable methods were re-
sorted to by Judge Hilton to get the bulk of
the estate. 1t may not be possible to prove
great deal which the contestant alleges.
AS about every will nowadays which dis
poses of large estate is contested it would
seem as if the milliOnarcs wonld act wisely
by distributing the greater portion of their
wealth before dying. They would then be
sure that their wealth reached those for
whom they intended it.

-Four Of the Louisiana Copgressmen are
yet undecided whether they viii vote with
the party for tariff reform. or act with Nr
Randall and the Republicans and virtually
oppose all tariff legislation. Several Of
them voted against any tariff legislation
last Congress, and the Protectionists are de-
pending upon that State FOR help in this
Congress
Al the Louisiana Congressman met on
Tuesday for the purpose Of discovering if
they could not act together on the tariff
issue. Those of them who represent the city
Of New Orleans and the sugar prod lcing
parishes, have 10 other interest in the tariff
apparently than to prevent the reduction
Of the duty on sugar. They are ready to
vote with the party that will promise to OPP
pose any reduction Of that duty.
The outlook now is that both parties will
insist upon reduction Of the sugar tariff.
The Republicans want a 50 per cent reduc-
ton. This looks as ii they had determined
70 sacrifice sugar TO save the Northern
monOpohes. The sugar planters are begin
ming TO see that in acting with the Republi-
cans on the tariff issue they have been max
ing a mistake.
The tariff reformers propose only a 20
per cent reduction. They regard sugar as
a revenue article, and believe the sugar duty
should BE- retained for revenue purposes.
The chances, therefore, are that the entire
Louisiana delegation will support a tariff re-
form bill They see that more is 10 be
gained from sticking 10 their party than by
making q bargain with their political
enemies. The Republicans, in whom they
have trusted 50 long, are ready to leave
them in the lurch. This shows that the
Republicans cannot be trusted in political
matters.
The Sherman plan Of removing the entire
duty from sugar and giving bounties to
planters is not approved either by the sugar
planters or by the majority of either House
of Congress The planters have condemned
it. They know that # they were to get a
bounty one year the chances are they would
not get it another There would be such an
cutlery against it that Congress would not
dare to make an appropriation for it.
In the approaching tariff contest, there
fore, the tariff reformers will, in all proba-
bility receive the assistance of the sugar
representatives. They ought TO have had
it in the last Congress because they are
better friends of the sugar interests than
the protectionists are

There is an impression in New York that
the Bell Telephone Company has for some
time been secretly preparing TO enter into
active competition with the Western Un,ou
Telegraph Company
ANY company, other than the Bell Tole-
phone, starting out in opposition to the
Western Union would incur enormous ex-
Dense in getting its lines through the vari
Gus cities. Tho great wealth Of the Bell
company, however, and its possession Of
franchises covering both telephone AID tele-
graph communicating wires already strung
in the important cities Of the country, and
in Canada and Mexico, give it an advan-
tage over any that has heretofore attempted
10 compete with the Western Union. It has
only 10 place telegraph instruments at each
end OF the telephone wires in order TO be
able to transmit kilograms.
The Bell company, il is said, is prepared
10 zee its patent annulled by the United
States Supreme Court, and has been put
ting itself in position TO meet any loss it
would suffer from an adverse decision. The
establishment of a telegraph system was, it
is believed, decided upon as n means Of pro

Didn't Know He Was President.

From the LdkeUie1 (Ore.) Examiner.
When Charles Croker was at Portland on his
spike driving tour over the California and Oregon
an incident occurred which is illustrative of the
bewildering magnitude of the railway interests
of that gentleman. lie received a call at the
Esmond House from the General Manager of the
Oregonian railway, a little narrow gauge form
ery under the control of a Scotch COMPANY
Mr. Crocker regarded the visit as purely com
plmentary but when the narrow gauge
manager began to ia about the prospects OF
his line, the need of repairs at certain points,
and gave the magDate the assurance that 1t was
fairly prosperous concern, Mr.. CrockerS mind
became cloudy. He clearly did not know what
the man was driving at. Still the official went
on until he was interrupted by friend who
happened to be present, and who said
MIR. Crocker doesn't understand what all this
is about"
''Oh, guess he does" said the General Man
ager, with a confident air. Il guess he knows
that he is President OF this road.
But I'm - If he did, " said Mr. Croker
until you said so this moment"
The incident created a ripple of merriment
among the railroad men who happened to he
present, and some Of the Portland magnates
who heard the story thought a good deal less of
their railroad interests when they reflected on
the fact that here was man who was President
of a railroad and didn't know it

Apropos of the sensational articles in
some OF the papers concerning a desperate
contest between Mr.. Cleveland and Gov.
Hill over the selection OF member of the
National Democratic Committee, a Wash
ington dispatch states positively that the
President took no unusual interest in the
selection, as the committeeman to be select
ed serves only until the meeting Of the Ma
tional Convention, and the only possible
duty ne will be called on TO perform is to
vote for the place Of holding the conven-
ton. 1t seems that there has been an at

1t is not probable that Mr. George W.
Childs will be further urged to run FOR
President. Here is what he says about the
fights against Mr. Lamar and Speaker Car
Isle: Both were begun and carried on for
an unworthy purpose, against right and
justice, merely to catch votes, and the
schemers got nothing more than the shame
of defeat to add to the shame of
having permitted partisan zeal to over
rule their sense of right and duty" For a
Republican aspirant to utter such senti-
ments amounts to political suicide. Mr..
Childs certainly meant what he said when
he declined TO allow the use of his name.
