SAM MASON DEAD.
The wer-Known Local Sporting Man Passes

The Wen-Known Local Sporting Man Passes
Quietly Away.
Sam Mason, one of the best-known sporting
men in Western Pennsylvania, died last even
ing at $50 at Dixmont, where he had been
under treatment for pareis. For some time
past, Sam, as he was faniliarly called by all
who knew him, has been suffering from the
deadly affiiction just named.
Not to know Sam Mason was to be entirely
ignorOnt of the sporting men and sporting
events of this part of the State for more than a
dozen years. For more than three administra-
tions he was a leading light among sporting
men in Plttsburg, and at one time was worth
$50 100 or $4,000. For season or so he was
proprietor of one of the best-managed pool
rooms in the city. No man was more honest
than Sam Mason and nobody had more pluck
in putting up bet. He always mad the re-
spect of every man il his walk in life, and not
a man who knew him will be free of regret for
his premature death.

APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE,

Cheers greeted Mr.. Dillon. He said:
This errand for which we have come here
to-nigh. is to appeal to the people of America
to assist the Irish people to attain the right to
make their own laws and to administer the
same; to assist that people to arise from the
paralleIed and formerly unheard of system OF
oppression to which they are now subjected.
There may be those who say Americans have
no right to interfere with the affairs of another
nation, but we feel justified in making this ap-
peal because our liberty has been denied u.s.
We have been deprived OF what you ladies
and gentlemen enjoy SO bountifully. No
amount of corruption has been spared to keep
our people under the heel of oppression. Ire
land to-day is governed in opposition to the
wishes of five-sixths of the inhabitants, and the
Tory Government holds 10000 bayonets to aid
its oppressive laws. Americas army, believe,
numbers "a, 0G0 yet 10000 bayonets are used to
keep the people quiet in ireland, which is about
equal in size to the State of New York. And
ali this because Irish people want to rule them.

Ms BLAINE has achieved triumph of
diplomacy in efiecting a convention for a
new extradition treaty between her Brit
tannic Msjesty's government and that of
the United States. The Bayard-West
convention failed Of approval in the SEN
ate because Of its last clause, which was
thought by many to be susceptible of in
terpretation into acquiesence in the de-
mand Of Great Britain for the extradition
Of persons charged with political crime.
Mr. Blaine has persuaded Sir Julian
Pauncefort to omit this clause and to add
others which increases the number of
extraditable crimes.
The Bayard-West convention added
only manslaughter, burglary, etnbezzle-
ment. or larceny 10 the value Of $50, and
malicious injuries to property whereby
the life Of any person shall be endanger-
ed" to those covered by the existing
treaty. The Blaine Pauncefort conven-
ton leaves out the last mentisned as
being liable to peryersion for political
purposes, but retains the other three, and
adds 10 them
Embezzlement, larceny, obtaining
money, goods, or valuable securities by
false pretenses, or receiving property Of
any kind, knowing il to have been en-
bezzled, stolen, or fraudulently obtained.
Fraud by bailee, banker, agent, fac
tor. trustee or director OF any company.
Perjury or subornation Of perjury.
Manslaughser, counterfeiiine. rape, abb
duction, childstealing, kidnapping, burg
larry, house-breaking, shop-breaking, pi-
Tacy, revolt or conspiracy to revolt against
the captains Of vessels at sea, crimes
against laws for the suppression of the
slave trade
This places twenty-four new crimes in
the extradition treaty, and closes Canada
as harbor Of refuge to twenty-four
classes Of American criminals.
