themselves in order to discover the reason

tai city to make a longer journey than |

view of such spectacle of magnificence
and the grandeur and Architectural

PROPOSED Elk RADITlON TREATY.
OTTowA, Cam, Dec. 9-The British gov
eminent has again submitted for the con-
sideration of the government of Canada a
draft of the new eXtradition treaty they
are about attempting to negotiate through
the British minister at Washington. with
the United States. 1t is learned at the
department of justice here that several
important notifications have been made
in the proposed treaty, and that many of
the objectionable features which contrib
uted largely towards the defeat of the treaty
rejected by the United States senate
last spring have been removed. The
schedule of eXtraditable offences covers
murder, or attempt or conspiracy to
murder, manslaughter, counterfeiting or
altering money and uttering counterfeit or
altered money, larceny, ENLIGHTENMENT, OBJ
tanning money or goods under false pre-
fences, robbery. burglary. arson, rape, abb
ductlon, train wrecking, piracy; frand
committed by a bailee, banker, agent,
factor, trustee or member or public officer
of any company, made criminal by any
law for the time being in force.
The outlines of the Weldon extradition
bill passed last session by the dominion
parliament have been pretty closely fol-
lowed, subject to such amendments as
may be suggestive at Washington
Sir John Thompson, Canadian minister
OF justice, has strong hopes that the views
OF the United States have been met and
that their concurrence in the draft sub
mitted to Ottawa by the British govern
ment will be secured. As regards the
Weldon extradition bill he says thai it is
not imperative that the consent OF the
British government should be obtained be-
fore it can be put in forcein Canada. The
Dominion government could declare it in
operation at any time although the British
authorities have power to veto the bill at
any time within TWO years from the date
of its passing parliament although it be in
operation.
