sachVttlG and Another Plot,


sachvttle and Another Plot.
The New York World prints an interview
held BY Its Washington correspondent with
President Cleveland at Oak View on Satur-
day night. The conversation dealt with
the extte di,ion treaty which was postponed
ny the action of the recent session of the
Senate, OF the British minister's foolish and
intermeddllug letter and some other mat
rers. on the first topic the President is re.
ported as saying:
at was repre- ented to me by these gen.
tlemen that It has been persistently asserted
that the extrHdftion treaty with Great
Britain, which has been published, con-
templated the surrender OF persons charged
with political off mos. / do not under
stand how 1t Is possible to so distort LAM
guage. Anybody reading the treaty would
plainly sec that It eontemplates no such
thing. The treaty. as at flrst drawn, pro-
vided for theextraditiop OF persons charged
with injury to property whereby the life
of any person is endangered, II a crime
according to the general laws OF both
countries, and 1t was so amended as to
make malicious Injury to property by the
use OF explosives also an extradltable
offence"
THE sAcKvILLE LETTER.

has been made on the British government
whether you have received any assurances
that his government will order him 10 leave
Washington ?"

then replied; II cannot tell you at this time
Just exactly what has been done. Thi5 Is

be no unseemiy haste. / say the came thing
TO you that I told General Collins. The
people must ba patient and they must be
assurrd that everything has been done tnat
we consistently could do. never yet have
discussed matrers Of state with the outside
public, nor can / do so now. This also
told General Collins, and aSp sure he rn-
deretood my motives"
ANOTHER cANAaD COMING,

another campaign trick is being prepared
with the intention OF spripging It on the
voters of the country at the eve OF the elec-
ton. While do not give much credence

The President appears TO keenly enjoy
the lndictous features 81 this runlor and he
went on TO observe that, unfortunately for
the complete success OF this enterprise, the
Backylle-Murehison correspondence would
have ths effect OF rendering the public
extremely suspicious Of airy further attempt
to impose upon its credull,y.
