a drink, go to her and pay her ten

drunk a gallon, she will have seven

which was under full speed The en-
gine finally left the track entirely and

CHINA IS AFTER
THE HIGHBINDERS.
She Makes 0yertures for an Extradi-
ton Treaty Applicable to All
Glasses of Criminals.

WASHINGTON. December THE Chi
nese government, through It's Minister,
Mr.. WI Ting Fans has hroached to the
authorities here tho Willingness of China
o negotiate an eNtradition treaty appli-
cable TO an criminals, bat intended i'm
particular 20 reach tho "High-Bnders." ."
This fraternity has spread through The
far west
The Chinese government finally decided
90 take c0grizance Of the subject, as the
agitations i'm this country operated quite
as much against the lawabding Chinese
and against the Chinese government itself
q it's did against the parties 10 secret
crimes. IL was therefore represented to
the officials here that as the High-Bnd-
crs had proved such a difficult class for
tho local police authorities I'm this coun-
try 10 deal with, China would assume the
burden of detection and punishment if
an eXtradiuon treaty could be negoi-
atel.
Tho purpose, 1t was suggested. was to
have China assume AN the cost Of ap-
pretending and transporting the guilty
parties
SOME OBJECTIONS.
While willing 20 get rid OF Chinese
High Binders and all other Chinese Grim
inals the authorities here foresaw Sc
rious legal objections 60 such n treaty.
The methods of trial and punishment IN
China are very summary. The proposal
therefore was open 10 the objection that
this country was surrcndering persons
domiciled within its borders 10 a foreign
country for harsh and unusual prosecu-
ton ana punishment. Little doubt was
entertained hero that II China once se-
cured possession of the High-Binaers
short work would be made of them.
owing 10 the prejudice they have brought
upon the Government. China was ready
to overcome this objection ms far as
possible by providing for a full hearing
or trial in this country before the par
ties were turned over 20 the Chinese
officials for deportation home
NOT DESIRABLE.
This. however. did not fully meet the
legal objections against the proposition.
Moreover. IL is believed that the Senate
90 whom such a treaty would have TO be
referred for ratification, would not act
favOrably upon ii and that-it would stir
up animosities and agitations on the
Chinese question In general rather than
accomplish any special good in the di-
fection desired. The Chinese authori-
ties have not. therefore. gone further
than TO broach the subject 10 the Of
iicials here and learn how such a treaty
would be viewed. although they stand
ready az any time 20 assume the burden
OF dealing with the High Binders and
other Chinese criminals IL a naturaliza-
;ion treaty should give them jurisdiction
over the offenders.
