NEW TREATY NEEDED.
Judgment of the German Embassy
at Washington.

Judgment Oh the 1eElIsbA
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-There is
need for a new extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Germany
in the Judgment of the German en-
ba;ssy here, as revealed in the public
diplomatic corps of the state depart
ment for the year. This need was
made apparent by the case OF a Ger
tain Jacob David, an American citizen
arrested early last year at Nielsen
helm, Germany, and surrendered by
the German authorities to the Illinois
authorities on a charge of forgery.
When this case came before the court
in Illinois the prisoner was indicted ON
six counts for larceny, forgery and en-
bezzlement He confessed his guilt of
the latter charge and was sentenced,
no attention being paid to the other
charges. This raised at once the ques-
ton of the right of the United States
to obtain the extradition of fugitive
on one charge and then try and con-
vfct him of another. The government
claimed it had no grounds for inter-
ference in the matter, whereupon the
German ambassador wrote Secretary
Gresham as follows:
'As the United States government
declares that it cannot undertake to
guarantee, in each particular case, that
repetition of such proceedings shall
occur, the only thing that remains to
be done, in the opinion of the imperial
government. is to settle the point by
a new treaty Of extraditlon, so that
such treaty, as the law of the land
may furnish proper criterion to the
American courts"

The Real Thing.

ST. LOUIS, May 6.-The Fair assoc
citation management has adopted the
Creveling-Dwyer starting gate and will
give ii a trial Saturday, the opening
day of the spring and summer meeting.
The Creveling-Dwyer gate has been in
use at the Chicago tracks and is pro-
nounced by horsemen to be the real
thing. 1t is simple in construction and
operation, being nothing but a piece of
rubber about two inches in diameter
which stretches across the track and
rolls on trolleys when a horse bumps
into it before the starter is ready to
let them go. When they get lined up
to the starters satisfaction he releases
the rubber and it flies back with a
lightning jerk. The question of using
the gate in the inaugural will be re-
ferred to the owners having starters
in THE event. They will be asked to
take vote on the matter
Local turfttes are figuring on the
probable inaugural field, the big stake
event for that date. Buck Massie and
Magnet are red hot choices With As
signee next in favor. Everybody con-
cedes that it is going to be a horse race
all the way and the conservative esti-
mate is that TAI will get the money.

LATEST IN PHOTOGRAPHIC L NsEs

A new Photographic lens has been
introduced in Germany, which is a
quadruple combination, that may be
used as a single lens or as compo-
merit of a doublet. In the lens there are
two couples of single lenses, each made
of a collecting lens and a dispensing
lens. The collecting tense OF one cou-
pie has a higher retroactive power than
their respective dispensing lenses Ihe
glasses are selected to produce achro-
Tarstic combinations. 1t is claimed
that this lens gives very high marginal
dis,tin0tness, wide angle and great
lighting power. A doublet may be
formed out of two lenses, with a dla-
Dbragm between.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to a compromise bill for cable
to Hawaii and japan. The bill author
ICES the postmaster general to enter in
to a contract in behalf of the United
States with any company which may
lay a cable to Hawaii, the subsidy not
exceeding $160,000 a year The bill has
the suppors of Senator Morgan. and all
the Republican members of the COM
mittee
Gray, Turpie, Daniels and Mills
Oemocrats) opposed the bill.
Senator Frye reported the action of
the committee to the senate and in the
accompanying report says that cable
to Hawaii is demanded by the exigen-
cies of commerce. He recftes the fact
that while other nations have been ac-
quiring islands in the Pacific. Hawaii
by common consent has been left to
the United States. Reference is also
made TO the
IMPORTANCE OF PEARL HARBOR
and the necessity of having teleghaphic
communication with the islands in case
of war to handle the Pacific fleet It is
also said that this is a favorable op-
portunity to secure Geographic COM
munication not only with Hawaii, but
also with Japan, whose system con-
meets with other countries of the ORR
emit. This, says the report, is brought
within reach upon terms that relieve
the United States from the cost and
risk of maintenance, as we'll as from
the aspects of commercial venture. The
price is limited for private messages to
o1~ I'D 81 hot ic
now charged, while communication
with Hawaii is provided at 10 cents
per word more than the price which
competition has established for mes
sages crossing the Atlantic. This op-
portunity, the committee credits to
Colonel Spalding's Hawaiian conces-
sion. The report dwells upon both the
economic and strategic Importance Of
the cable. Referring to the latter point
it says:
THE extent to which the interests Of
the nation as such are involved may be
seen by the fact that every telegraphic
cable now crossing the Atlantic from
North America has it's starting point In
Nova Scotia. In the event of any
SEVERANCE OF PEACEFUL RELA-
TIONS
that channel would of course be imme-
diately and, as it were, automatically
closed, and this country be dependent
for telegraphic communication upon
cables crossing the Atlantic from Bra
ziI to Portugal, with all the contingent
cies THAT situation would involve"
The committee says the cost Of the
cable would be SO, 100000, and that the
interest on the expenditure would
amount to $136,OOO while the cost of
maintenance would amount to 1885,.
600 per year for the first five: years
The committee says that the bill has
been made to provide that the arrange
ment shall be by contract with the
United States through the postmaster
general, and the lowest bidder, and
shall be completed and continue under
the supervision of that officer. The
contract relation is believed to- secure
the United States better control than
a mere grant would do, while it is &C
cepted by the committee as giving to
the grant an aspect of stability.
