BERLIN, March 1.-THE revision
of the German-American eXtraol-
ton treaty is now under way. Inc
terms of the existing treaty in some
respects are not satisfactory to efther
government. 1t is the question OF
the costs involved in eXtradition pro-
ceedings which is the main objection
on the American side, since the great
majority of the eXtradition proceed
ingS occurred in America, in the pro-
portion of 100 to 1, so that the Amer
lean government, with each side de-
fraying the expenses of the proceed
ings within it's respective sphere,
bears more than it's proper share.
Consequently in 1891, the American
government made advances to Ger
many with the view of modifying
the treaty provisions in this and
other respects, including the right of
each government to try extradited
persons solely on the specific charges
under which their extradition was
demanded Germany, however, was
not satisfied with the proposed
changes, and the negotiations, after
a time, were dropped. A recent ex-
tradition case at Hamburg, the per-
son involved being a clever adven-
turess, who passed herself off in Ber-
lin and elsewhere as the Arch
Duchess Theresa D'Este, and vic
timized several persons to the
amount of 100000 marks, is the di-
rect cause of reopening the negotia-
tons for a revision of the treaty.
This time Germany came forward
with certain proposals, and these
were sent, a few days ago, through
the American embassy, here to
Washington. no

of American cattle was also dis

council, and it was decided not to

this respect.
The state council yesterday dis
cussed the currency question and
adopted a resolution noting with sat
isfaction Hohenlohe's statement in
the reichstag Feb. Is, in regard to
the proposed international monetary
conference, and expressing the opin-

no further measures should be taken

| the steps already contemplated
| should be awaited
| HOHENLOHE'S SILVER IDEAS.
The statement of Hohenlohe in the
| reichstag Feb. Is regarding the pro-
| posal of international monetary con-
| ference was as follows: without
| prejudicing our imperial currency
one must confess that the differences
in the value of gold and silver con-
| tinue to react upon our commercial
| life. Following, therefore, the tend
encies which led to the appointment
| of a silver commission, 1 am ready
| to consider in conjunction with the
| federal governments whether we
cannot enter upon a friendly inter
| change of opinion as to common
| remedial measures with the other
states, which are chiefly interested
in maintaining the value of silver"
| The state council today considered
| the proposed measures for reducing
the cost of farming, and for reduc-
ing the duties on agricultural prod
ucts. According to general report
Emperor William has repeatedly
shown displeasure at the extreme de-
mapds of Won Kanitz. In this con-
nection, the Hamburgische Cores
| pondent says that his majesty at
Wednesdays meeting of the council
replying to remark of Won Kanitz,
said that if the members of the coun-
ell continued to drag his personal
| lty into their debates it would be
| impossible for him to continue to
preside at their meetings. ThelHanl-
burger Nachrichten also declares
that upon one occasion, when Won
kanitz was addressing his remarks
! to the emperor, the latter interviewed
and requested the count to address
the ministers, not himself. I
Apropos of the state council. Q DIR.
Stoecker's organ has published the
| following anecdote: When Prince
/, Bismarck was appointed a member
of the state council in 1854 he wrote
to Won Gerlach as follows: ib-My
wife asked me what the state coun-
Gil was, and / answered: The ouint-
essence of all stupidity and wicked
ness comprised in the word privy
counsellor You see I do not in
dulge in illusions respecting the
value of that body"
BISMARCK'S SON IN LUCK.
The appointment of Count William
Bismarck, second son of the ex-chan-
cellor, as civil governor OF East Prus-
STA, in succession to Won Stolberg-
Wernigerode, came as a surprise to
the political world. Count William is
well acquainted with Koenigsborg, the
seat of the government of East Prus-
