The ratio Of medical students to the
population In this country is about
twice as great as 1t is in Europe. The
reason Of this curious difference is
found in the greater ease with which a
diploma can be obtained in the United
States-the medical schools of Europe
requiring more complete previous prep
aration, and compelling the student to
undergo longer course of study before
he Is eligible to a degree.

WASHINGTON, Doc. 12.-The state depart
ment has been devotinR much attention Of
late to the extension OF its system of extra
dition treaties, and by recent additions it
has considerably narrowed the opportuni-
ties of criminals TO find places of refuge
from arrest and punishmcnt. The last adj
ditions to the list of these treaties are with
Argentine and the Orange Free state,
which were transmitted TO tho senate The
Argentine treaty is patterned after our
reuty of 1889 with Great Britain, which
Is regarded as a model convention of its
kind There was much need for this par.
ticular treaty, because the Argentine gov
ernmont had refused 10 surrender lugitives
from the United States on the ground that
the United States did not rcciprocate. The
negotiation of the treaty was a delicate
and difficult undertaking, and the success
that has been attained, it Is said at tho
state department, SIS owing to the astute-
ness and energy exhibited by United States
Minister buchanan Tho Orange Free
State treaty is intended 20 replace and ex-
tend an older and somewhat ineffective
convention
