LONDON, Dec. u.-Arrangements for the mar
riage of the Duke of Clarence, eldest son OF the
Prince OF Wales. were, il is understood, dis

der-secretary OF state for foreign affairs calling
attention to the fact that by the extradition
treaty signed In Washington City ON July 10,
1889, perjury or subordination OF perjury was
among the crimes that are extraditable
:. [Hurlburt was formerly editor of the New
York World, and is well known as a hymn
writer. Gladys Evelyn, governess, claims that
he seduced her under promise of marriage. In
