The Bear Did Not Get An the Feathers II
Fought For.
New YORK, June 20.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent presents an.
other interesting chapter in the negotia-
tons which resulted in the formulation
of the Russian extradition treaty.
The documents show that while the
United States has been overreached
slillfully by the Russian diplomats in
the drafting of the extradition treaty,
the Russian government originally
sought to force upon Secretary Fish
and his aids an even more Objectionable
convention, framed i'll exactly the Same
terms as that previously concluded be-
tween Russia and Switzerland.
Minister JEWELS account of an intGr-
view with the Russian counselor, En-
glehardt, is given, and shows that the
ed the incorporation into the treaty of
ton shall be upon such evidence of
criminahty as, according to the laws of
the place where the accused person shall
be found. shall justify his apprehension
and commitment for trial if the crime
had been there committed"
The objection made to this provision
was that sit seemed to imply suspic-
ion of the manner i'll which judicial pro
ceedings are conducted in Russia" But
the whole course of the Russian arsn-
ment as published demonstrated that
Prince Gortschakoff foresaw clearly the
basis of the protests that would follow
the proclamation of the treaty i'll the
United States.

We have to call halt on the men
who are trying to rush into print
because their names appeared in
the personal property list recently
published in the Gazette. by not
publishing any of their letters, for
there is no good TO be accomplished
by it. About all who have written
these letters are Republicans, and if
they feel aggrieved or scandalized
by this publication, they should at
least appeal to their own party pa
per to set them right. for they are
not patrons of this paper, and if we
were to publish their letters, we
doubt if they would get to see and
read it in print. If these men who
are SO hurt at the exposure would
make half the effort to pay their
taxes, that they do in trying to set
themselves right before their neigh
bors, they would be in much better
shape. We have no sympathy for
the man who does not pay his taxes;
and he is not a good citizen, if he
fails to do SO, even if he has not
"been asked for his taxes" All of
them knew they owed taxes.

these committees being to promote by
every proper and laudable means the con

ally, has demonstrated the benefit and

RESOLVED, That the first step toward
the intelligent consideration of this ques
ton IS survey to demonstrate the prac

Maumee and Miami rivers as parts of the
proposed canal. And
WHEREAS The efforts in the past to
hive such surveys made by the state or
national government has met with oppo-
sition, procrastination and failure; there
fore, be it further
RESOLVED, That prompt and efficient
survey can only be obtained by means of
funds to be raised by subscription in the
cities and towns along the proposed canal;
and
WHEREAS, The Abandonment of the va
rfous existing water rights along the line
of the present canal might involve great
loss to capital now employed in manuflc-
turing ut various points; therefore it is
RESOLVED. That any plan contemplating
a use of the channels of said rivers opposite
said manufacturing sites should provide
for compromising the owners of the said
manufactures for the loss of the said
water powers at all points north of that at
which the proposed ship canal is diverted
into Mill creek, it being also proposed to
compromise all the rights of water powers
south of the point of division.
