Traveller Kennan Talks Upon the Merits
and Dement'S of the Proposed Russian
Treaty which Now Only Awaits the
Presidents Signature.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Speaking of the
proposed Russian treaty with the
United States the famous traveller
George Kennan in an interview here
last evening said: 'The treaty is now
in Presid ent Clevelands hands, only
waiting his signature to become a law.
The extradition rights given Russia in
this treaty might result in great injury
to returned Russians.
The privilege granted in this measure
to returned Russian suspects do not bal
ance at all the privileges accorded to
men extradited by the United States and
it would certainly be well if the treaty
should not become a law. Ever since
the present Czsr came into power a large
part of Russia has been subject to mar
tial law"
The governor of province may decide
and declare that any case, no matter OF
what character, mast be tried by military
law. The matter is entirely in the hands
of the governor and he uses his pleasure
in the matter. So case which is by all
means entitled to an open public trial
may be tried behind locked doors and the
public know nothing of the developments
or transactions. Thus is given danger
Gus and formidable power, which may be
used with the vilest iuinstfce IN an limo
cent prisoner. On the contrary. when 9
man is extrsdited by the United States
fair, open trial is given before the public
and the secret chamber process would be
considered an Infamous outrage.
"Should the treaty become a law by
legal process Russia can step into our
country, seize her subjects. hurry them
home and by a star. chamber farce con
demn them
