posed boss" of the local Democracy, may
not be as safe in British possessions as he
now sereuely imagines

and corruption the laws and treaties bear
ing on his extradition have been carefully
dIgested by the officials whose duty it is to
bring him back here for trial. Those who
have carefully studied the treaty between
the United States and Great Britain are of
the opinion that the offense for which Buck
ley is wanted is extraditable.

March %. 1890, when the tenth article was
amended by a convention composed Of Sec
Rotary Blaine and Sir Julian Pauncefote so
rs 10 cover crimes not previously set forth.
The tenth article in the treaty was then
changed so as TO read as appended and in
the crimes enumerated it is claimed Buck

tiOnal crimes:
