AGAINST THE HIGHBINDERs.
China Ready to Make Treaty That Will
Reach Them.

Washington, Dee. 1.-The Chinese
Government, through its Minister, Mr..
NYu Ting Fang. has broached to the au-
thorities here the willingness Of China to
negotiate an extradition treaty applica-
bic to all criminals, but intended particu-
larly to reach the "hghbnders"
This fraternity has spread terror
through the Far West.
The Chinese Government finally deter
mined to take cognizance of the suF >ct,
as the agitations in this country operated
quite as much against the law-abiding
Chinese and against the Chinese Govern
ment itself as it did against the parties
10 the secret crimes.
1t was therefore represented to the t0f-
ficiaIs here that as the highbindcrs had
proved such difficult class for the l0cai
police authorities in this country to deal
with China, would assume the burden
of detection and punishment if an extra
dition treaty could be negotiated. The
purpose, it was suggested, was to have
China assume all the cost of apprehend-
ing and transporting the guilty parties.
While willing to get rid Of Chinese
highbinders and all other Chinese crimi-
nails the authorities here foresaw serious
legal objections to such a 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
domicled within its borders to a foreign
country, for harsh and unusual prosecu-
tion and punishment. Little doubt was
entertained here that if China once Sc
cured possession of the highbinders short
work would be 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 by
providing for n full hearing or trial in
this country before the parties were
turned over to the Chinese officials for
deportation home. This, however did
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 favorably upon
it and that it would stir up animosities
and agitatiOns on the Chinese question in
general rather than accomplish any spe-
cial good in the direction desired. The
Chinese authorities have not, therefore
gone further than to broach the subject
to the officials and learn how such
treaty would be viewed, although they
stand ready at any time to assume the
burden of dealing with the highbinders
and other Chinese criminals if IA naturali-
zati0n treaty should give them jurisdic-
tiOn over the offenders

to permit their homes to he bought and
sold like merchandise. 1t then repeats
that the Filipinos are ready to fight in
defense Of their rights and asserts that
