vicinity of Tatumbla, which had been
occupied by the troops under General Ter
renca Sierra. who commands the south
wing of the revolutionary army, In the

in the nature of a surprise to the revolu-

four miles away, and were pushed rapidly
to the front, Colonel Manuel Rosas, with

army followed him In the retreat toward
La Montanita Small bands ned In other

PROTESTS CAME TOO LATE.
The Russian ExtradIton Treaty Is Now Be.
yond the Senate's Control

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The senate Is
receiving quite a number of protests
against the Russian extradition treaty
Senators say that many of these protests
are based on misapprehension of the pro-
visions Of the treaty, the Protestants as
serting that under 1t Russia is enabled to
extradite persons for political offenses. 1t
Ii said by senators that the treaty follows
the treaty Of extradition between the
United States and Belgium made some
years ago and that it affords full protec-
tion against extradition for offenses
against the government. 1t provides,
however, that assassination or attempt at
assassination shall be extraditable and puts
the emperor, or any other member Of the
royal family, on par with the common
citizen. The treaty has already been
ratified SO that the matter has really passed
out of the hands of the senate.

ing, and so large were accessions to the
locked out portion in Beethoven Hall that
1t was predicted that within short time
10000 workers would be on strike in this
city. Close students of the labor problems
assert that the trouble will involve the en-
tire clothing trade before long and end onl y
with the downfall of one or the other labor
organizations.
Another important factor in the situa-
tion that Is likely to precipitate matters at
any time. is the action of the tailors, who
seem to hold the balance of power, and
who are undoubtedly in sympathy with
the Garment Cutters union. The tailors
are already in the federation to the num-
ber of 10000, and have frequently ex-
pressed their deter mination to support the
garment cutters whenever called upon.
Should they resolve to go out they would
refuse all work from shops occupied by
non-unionists or Knights of Labor.
