1t Is tho question OF tho coats in.
yolycd in extradiiion proceedings which
is tho main objection on the American
side, since the great majority OF tho
extradilion proceedings occur In Amerl.
ca, on tho proportion OF 100 to /, so
that the American government. with
each side deiraying tho expenses of tho
proceedings within thoir respective
sphere, bears moro than its proper
share.
Consequently. in 1891, the American
government mado advances to Ger
many with tho view Of modifying tho
treaty provisions in this and In other
respects, including the right OF each
government TO try oXtradlted persons
solely on the specific charges under
which their extradition was demanded.
Germany, however. was not satisfied
with the proposed changes, and the ne
gotintions, after timo, were dropped.
A WOMAN BRINGS ABOUT THE CRISIS.

Emperor William presidcs daily at
the sessions OF tho state council, which
last from 10 o'clock in the morning nm
I'll o'clock In the afternoon, and from
3 o'clock in the afternoon until o'clock
in the evening. He has proved himself
an excellent chairman, ruling debate
with firm hand, and at the same time
allowing full discussion.
The grain monopoly proposals OF
Count Won kanitz, the Agrarian leader,
have been virtually shelvod by the state
council, and the Agrarians, in reply,

This number, It should be added,
about represents the total strength of
the members OF the Reichstag who are
in favor OF the bill. so that there is no
possible chance OF its adoption. Con-
sequently, American grain will not be
excluded from Germany for the pros
ent.
The prohibition OF tho import OF
American cattle was also discussed
Wednesday by the state council, and it
was decided not to recommend any now
measures in this respect.
Tho state council Saturday discussed
the currency question and adopted
resolution noting with satisfaction

reichstag on February 10, in regard to
the proposed international. monetary
conference. and expressing the opinion
that, in view OF this statement, no
further measures should DO taken at the
present time, but that the result OF the
steps already contemplated should be
awaited.
According to the general report EN-.
peror William during the sessions Of the
state council has repeatedly shown dis
pleasure at tho extreme demands OF
Count Won Kanitz.
THE KAISER SUDDENLY GROWS MODEST.
In this connection tho Hamburgische
correspondent says that at Wodnes-
days meeting OF tho state council, re-
plying to q remark OF Count Won Kan

of the council continued to drag his
personality into debates it would be
impossible for him to continue presid-

Won Kanitz was addressing his remarks

ministers. not him.

ecker's organ has published tho following
anecdote: "When Prince Bismarck
was appointed q member OF the state
