THE Law WORKING WE'LL.

According to the Berlin correspond
ent Of the New York Evening Post the
enforcement of our immigration law is
being perceptibly felt in Europe. He
states that a short time ago band of
fifty Russians arrived in Magdeburg
enroute to the Russian frontier, where
they We're to be turned over to the

that had been shipped from Hamburg
to New York, but had been refused
admission to the United States under
the terms of the law. About the same
time another batch of $50 We're trans
ported back TO Bohemia and Hungary
being would-be immigrants in Il SINH
lar plight This correspondent says
that as the Hamburg line as well as
the North German Lloyd, by special
agreement with the German imperial
government, have to pay all the costs
of such transportation back, these two
lines are now exercising even more
caution in assuming the risk of con-
yeying emigrants to the United States
than they did at the beginning of the
season. Their new system of checking
and controlling emigrants at the from
tier stations of Austria and Russia is
extremely rigorous and it will, says
the correspondent, no doubt have the
effect of keeping thousands at home in
interior villages and towns who other
wise would have emigrated to this
country. 1T is said that the German
government is glad of this new policy
on the part of this country for 1t oper-
ates to keep many young man and
would-be deserter at home 1t Is the
understood purpose of the German
government to introduce at the next
sessions of the Diet and the Reichstag
measures to discourage and restrict
emigration.
This is gratifying testimony as to the
good effect produced by a proper en-
forcement OF the immigration law.

about such sitting of emigrants from

EXTR4DITION TREA TIES.

The case of Chester w. Rowe the de-
faulting Iowa county treasurer, who
fled to Mexico and whose extradition the
fMexican government refused to order,
has called attention to the fact that
there is need not only of a new treaty
with that country, but that with many
other countries REIMBURSEMENT of ex-
tradition relations is most desirable. 1t
is surprising fact that we have no
extradition treaty with Germany as an
independent power, Notwithstanding our
extensive relations with that power.
We have treaties with several of the
states composing the empire and it is
said that all the different provisions of
these treaties sometimes lead to embar-
RAISING and vexatious complications. 1t
is difficult and dilatory proceeding,
however, to secure change in our
treaty relations. A recent instance IL
Illustrating this was the extradition
treaty with Russia, which was pending
in the senate six years awaiting action
before it was ratified :aaa. sat .
AS to Mexico it is manifestly most
desirable, by reason of the proximity
Of that country, thatia new treaty be
negotiated with as little delay as pos
sible, otherwise it will become n con-
venient refuge for American defaulters
and other rascals, if the Mexican author
tiles are disposed to tolerate their
presence in the country. 1t seems that
all criminal from the United States,
taking refuge in Mexico, now has to do
in order to make his sojOurn in that
country secure is to become a Mexican
citizen. That action, it appears. assures
him protection no matter how great n
rascal he may be, and when this be-
comes generally known the population
of Mexico will grow from the accessioIE
of American defaulters and embezzlers
as rapidly as did that of Canada before
the, existing eXtradition treaty was
negotiated. 1t is perhaps true, as
Mexican authorities have acted in the
Rowe~case strictly in accordance with
what they believed to be their duty.
Perhaps our government is to blame, as
was intimated by the Mexican minister
of foreign affairs when he said there
must be Il better reciprocity on the part
of the United States government before
1t can expect to have an entirely salts
factory treaty with Mexico on this and
other points of international law. If our
government has not dealt fairly with
Mexico in the matter of extradition, and
this is what Is implied I'm the remarks
attributed to the Mexican minister, we
cannot reasonably complain If we are
repaid in kind.
But manifestly two enlightened coun-
tries as near together as the United
States and Mexico are and which pro-
pose to maintain relations of inter
national comfy cannot afford to permit
their territory to become the safe refuge
of each others criminals. Mutual in

FruitIess Missionary Efforts.

A great deal Of missionary effort has been
expended upon the Chinese in California,
and especially in San Francisco, but 1t re-
quires a microscope to discover any real con-
versions after forty years Of labor. In the
way of doing actual good for the wretched
people Of our slums $100 will accomplish
more than $4,000 spent in trying to change
the Chinese in their Flowery Kingdom into
followers of Christ and heretics to the doc
trines Of Confuc!us. Taking everything into
consideration, it is fair question whether
there is not a great waste of Christian effort
as we'll as of money in these attempts TO
convert Chinese who won't be converted and
whether 1t would not be more practical as
well as more Christian to concentrate some
OF this effort and money upon the heather at
our very doors who know neither Christ nor
