government itself, as it did against the
parties to the secret crimes. 1t was
therefore represented to the officials
here that as the Highbinders had proved
such a difficult class for the local police
authorities in this country to deal with,
China. would assume the burden of de-
lection and punishment if an extradi-
ton treaty could be negotiated. The
purpose was to have China assume all
the cost of apprehending and trans
porting the guilty parties. This could
be done through the machinery of the
Chinese consul service at San Francis
co and other western points which being
conducted by native Chinese was better
able to know the ramifications of an
organization made up entirely of Chi
nese. By doing this, China felt that
she would rid this country of those who
were responsible for much of the ill
feeling against the Chinese as a class.
While willing to get rid of Chinese
Highbinders and all other Chinese Grim
inals, the authorities here foresaW Seri-
Gus legal objections to such a. treaty.
The methods of trial and punishment
in China are very summary. The pro-
pOSa1 therefore was open to the Objec-
ton that this country was surrendering
persons dOmiciled within it's borders to
a foreign country for harsh and unus-
ual prosecution and punishment. Little
doubt was entertained here that if Chi
ma once secured possession of the High
binders, short work would be made of
them, owing to the prejudice they have
brought upon the government. China
was ready to overcome this objection
as far as possible by providing for a full
hearing, or trial in this country before
parties were turned over to the Chi
nese 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 a treaty would have to
be referred for ratification would not
act favOrably upon it and that it would
stir up animosities and agitations on
than accomplish any special good in the
direction desired.
The Chinese authorities have not,
therefore, gone further than to breach
the subject to the officials here and
learn how such a treaty would be
viewed, although they stand ready at
any time to assume the burden of deal
ing with the Highbinders and other
Chinese criminals if a naturalization
treaty should give them jurisdiction
over the offenders.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

Miss Francis of Yale" a farce of the
same class as What Happened to Jones'

at the Crawford theater tonight. When
the piece visited St. Paul the Globe print

themselves hoarse over the excruciating-

perfect an organization as ever visited St.

both in the production and company. Cur

Novelty is the spice of an up to date
minstrel performance, and the cholSest
brand of novelty is always to be found in
the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels. Ever
upon the alert for something new, Mr
Field has secured the famous De Viliers
in their funny pantomime, Gone to the
Noon" The varied and interesting pro
gramme of the Field minstrels is brought
to a close with this new feature. It is
brim-fun of startling and funny surprises
and in it's construction no attempt has
been made to create a serious plot. 1t
is simply a thread around which is woven
fifteen minutes of continuous laughter.
The organization is this year said to CON
tain more clever people than ever before
and many new features are introduced.
The MINISTRIES come to the Grand Opera
House next Tuesday evening.

THE HERO OF SANTIAGO.
A Demonstration in Favor of SChIeV
 at inc Navy Department.

Washington, Aug. 27.- Admiral Schley received a great demonstration at the navy department today. He came quite early and after a call on Acting Secretary Allen, he emerged from the main door of the secretarys s office. His presence in the building had become known, however, and as soon as he was seen cheers rent the air from the clerks who had assembled to catch glimpse of the hero of San tiago. It was necessary to form Q line and pass the crowd around through the large rooms Of the secretary's of flee in order to give them chance to shake hands with the admiral.
 Many prominent army officers took part in the demonstration. The ad- miral finally escaped into Captain Crowninshield's office. Admiral Schley will leave Washington this after noon. He expects to sail for Porto Rico next Wednesday with the mill tary commission.

EUROPE INTERESTED.
A Demand for inc Expulsion of inc
 Priests From the Philippines.

London, Aug. 27.-The Philippine islands committee in Europe has ad- dressed letter to President Mckinley regarding the appeals made to him by high Roman ecclesiastics in America to protect the religious orders in the islands The expulsion of the friars, the committee contends. is q neces sary amendment to moral reform. The letter names particularly the arch bishop Of Manila. and the bishops of Nueva Sagoyia and Nueva Caseas. whose acts of hostility against both natives and Americans and agalnst the Jesuits and other respected religious institutions are condemned by every one.
 The committee urges President Mo- Kinley to "aid the Filipinos to sup press the immortality of the diabolica1 institutions fostered by these monks, ' and the letter concludes as follows: Your name can never be associated with that of the friars and the sense of the noble nation at whose head you are placed, will never permit the ever victorious and humanitarian stars and stripes to protect them"

A MIXTURE OF PRINCIPLES.
Silver Republicans Of California in
 Convention Assembled.

Los Angeles, Aug. 27.-The first state convention the silver republican party ever held in this state convened here this morning The convention was called to order by Judge J.

The report of the com- mittee on platform which was adopted reaffrms fealty to the principles of the republican party as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln and James G. Blaine It reaffirms that plank of the plat form of the democratic party in 1896 declaring In favor of the free coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. The Dingley Jaw was con- demned, as is also the action of the administration in Issuing bonds to carry on the war. but the declaration of the war with Spain is endorsed as necessary for the freedom Of Cuba. The construction Of the Nicaragua canal by the United States is urged and the election of United States sen- ators by the people Is recommended. James G. McGuire was nominated for governor and the entire fusion ticket was endorsed

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Mrs Botkin Resisting EXtradition
 for Murder.

San Francisco, Aug 27-Mrs. Cor della Botkin has taken the offensive and precipitated legal fighting that will result ulti- mately in her acquittal or con- viction on the charge of having mur- dered Mrs. J. P. Cunning and her sis ter. Mrs. Deane, by poison. It may be brief battle or a long one, but it will be bitterly contested by both parties.
 At noon today Attorney Frank Mc- Gowan applied to Superior Judge Cook for a writ of habeas corpus to procure the release from prison of Mrs. Botkin. The application alleges that Mrs Bctkin is unlawiully detained in prison and deprived of her liberty by the chief Of police; that no public of fense has been charged against her In this state, and that she is not fugi- tive from justice. The hearing of the application has been set for Monday morning. At that time the chief of police will have to justify his action of arresting Mrs. Botkin. If the writ of habeas corpus is denied, her attor- neys will take their next stand before Governor Budd to prevent him from signing the mandate of extraditiOn.
