BERLIN. March 16.-The revision of the
German-American extradition treaty is
now under way. Tue terms of the exist
ing treaty in some respects are not salts
fatory TO either government. 1t is the
question OF the costs involved in extradit-
ing proceedings which is the main objec-
tion on the American side. Since the
great majority of extradtIon proceedings
occur IN America. the American governs
ment, each side defraying the expenses of
the proceedings within its respective
sphere, bears more than it's proper share.
Consequently, in 1891. the American gov
ernment m ide advances to Ger
many with view of modifying the treaty
provisions in this and in other
respects, including the right of
each government to try the
extradited persons solely on the specific
charges under which extradition was de-
manded. Germany, however, was not
satisfied with the proposed changes and
the negotiations after a time wers
dropped. A recent extradition case at
Hamburg, the person involved being a
clever adventures, vino passed herself off
in Berlin and elsewhere as the arch duch-
ess Theresa D'Este, and victimzed sew
marks, is the direct cause of reopening
the negotiations for a revision of the
treaty.
The emperor presided daily at the sit
ting of the state council. He has proved
himself an excellent chairman, ruling
the debate with firm hand and at the
same time allowing full discussion.
The grain monopoly proposals of Ka-
nitZ have been virtually shelved by the
state council and the agrarians in reply
have introduced Won Kanitz's bill, signed
by 10S members. IN the relcnstag. Conse-
quently American grain will not be ex-
cluded from Germany for the present.
The proposition of the importation of
American cattle was also discussed on
Wednesday by the state council and it
was decided not to recommend any new
measures in this respect. The state coun-
ci yesterday discussed the currency ques-
ton and adopted a resolution noting with
satisfaction Hohenlohe's statement in the
re .chstag, on Feb. 15, in regard TO the pro-
posed International monetary conference,
and expressing the opinion that in view of
this statement, no further measures
should oe taken at present, but the result
OF steps already contemplated should be
awaited. Tho statement of Hohen ohe in
posal of an international monetary con-
ference was as follows: without preju-

The. appointment of Count William
Bismarck, second son of the ex-chancel-
lor, as civil governor of East Prussia. in
succession of Won Stolberg- Wernigerdc
came as a surprise to the political world.
Count William is well acquainted with
Kengsburg, the seat of the government
of East Prussia, as he was prepared there
for the service of the state by the chief
colonial department.. AS student,
Count William had much the same merry
time as his father and was nearly
killed in a duel at Bonn. When the
great chancellor fell into disgrace, Count
William had the tact to keep in the back
ground with the result that he continued
in the service of the state, while his
brother, Count Herbert. was obliged TO
leave office. Count Williams appoint-
ment is regarded as the first of a series of
imperial honors to his father.
