proceedings occur In America in. the pro-
portion OF about 100 to 1, SO that the
American government with each side de-
froying the expenses Of the proceedings
within It's respective sphere, bears q deal
more than ss proper share.
Consequently, In 1891. the American
government made advances to Germany
with the view Of modifying the treaty pro-
visions in this and in other respects, in
cluding the rates Of each government to
try extradited persons solely through
specific charges under which the extradi-

ago in Berlin, chiefly in the suburb of
