AGAINST THE IIIGHRINDERS.
China Ready to Make Treaty That W;n
Reach Them.

Washington, Dec. THE Chinese
Government. through its Minister. Mr..
WI Ting Fang. has preached to the an
thorities here the Willingness Of China t.
negotiate an eNtradit:on treaty applica-
bic to al criminals. but intended p~articu-
larry 70 reach the .highbindcrS.s
This fraternity has spread terror
through the Far West.
Tho Chinese Government finally deter
mined to take co2nizanco Of the subject.
rs the a@itationS i'll this country operated
quite rs much against the laW-abidin9
Chinese and against the Chinese Govern
ment itself rs it did against the parties
to the secret crimes.
It WAS therefore represented 70 the Of
~ficials here that as the highbinders had
proved such Il difficult class for the Local
police authorities III this country to deal
With China. would assume the burden
Of detection and punishment if IN extra
dition treaty could be negotiated. The
purpose, it was suggested. was to have
China assume Ill the cost Of apprehend-
ING and transporting the guilty parties.
While willing to get rid Of Chinese
highhinders and all other Chinese criml-
nails the authorities here forcsaw serious
legal objections to such 4 treaty. The
methods Of trial and punishment in
China are very summary. The proposal
therefore was open to the objection that
this country was surrendering persons
domiciled within its borders to i foreign
country. for harsh ana unusual prosecu-
ton and punishment. Little doubt was
entertained here that if China once Sc
cured possession Of the hi.hbinders short
work would he made Of them, owing to
the prejudice they have brought upon the
Government. China was ready to over
come this objection as far as possible ~
providing for i full hearing OF trial in
this country before the parties were
turned over to the Chinese officials for
deportation home. This, however. oil
not fully meet the legal objections
against the proposition. Moreover it was
believed the Senate to whom such Il
treaty would have to be referred for
ratification. would not act f~avorably upon
it and that it would stir up anim0eities
and aGitations on the Chinese question in
general rather than accomplish any spe-
cal good II the directions desired. The
Chinese authorities have not, therefore.
gone further than to breach the subject
to the officials and learn how such Il
treaty would he viewed. although they
stand ready at any time to assume the
burden Of dealing with the highbinders
and other Chinese criminals If L naturali-
zation treaty should give them jurisdic-
ton over the offenders.
