current that an effort will be made to
whip the farmer Democrats into lire for
the administration and the machine. 1t is
said that this will be the trump card IN the
little game with the Filipinos; that the
insurrection has assumed such propor-

the machine will be lost. 1t will be re-

Fighting Gregory for Police
COmmf fANiOner.


JEFFERSON CITY. Jan. 25.-(Special.)
Although Governor Stephens seems deter
mined to reappoint Police Commissioner
Gregory. Of Kansas City, the politicians
are still making warm anti-Gregory fight.
Joe Shannon was here yesterday to place
a few knocks, and to-day Frank Walsh
and Frank Sebree called on the governor.
1.-The matter of Gregory's appointment
was referred to- said Governor Stephens.
after the visit Of the Kansas City gentle
men, "but nothing new developed. The
situation remains the same in regard to
Mr.. Gregory. Grave charges have been
made. which, If true, would prevent my
reappointing him. but these charges must
be proved before they will have weight"
1t is now understood that ex-Mayor Ben
Holmes is the choice of the anti-Gregory-
ties for commissioner. The fight is waxing
warm, as Governor Stephens admitted The
Jackson county delegation is divided. Sem

CRIMINALS SAFE IN MEXICO.
United States Extradition Treaty
With That Country Expired at
Midnight Tuesday.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-The Mexican
extradition treaty expired last night, ac-
cording to the notice given by the Mexi-
can government. Its lapse finds remark
ably small number of fugitives from JUS
tice in either country to profit from the
fact. So far as known at the state depart
ment. Santiago Morphy is the only Mex
ican fugitive now at large in the United
States. He made a sensational escape from
the Mexican chief of police in New Orleans
just 'one day before the treaty expired. In
Mexico there is one American, James Tenn
pie. who is fugitive from Justice and
against whom eXtradition proceedings are
now in progress, the charge being unlaw-
full homicide. and in his case there Is reason
to believe Mexico may grant extradition.
The hiatus following the lapse of this
eNtradition treaty is deplored by both par
ties. and on each side an earnest dis
position Is being shown to replace the old
treaty with new one to be concluded by
Powell Clayton. our representative at the
City OF Mexico. and the Mexican foreign
minister. Senior MariscaI. Fair progress
has been made on a new treaty. though it
is no easy task to reconcile the radical
difference of opinion between the Mexican
government and our own in the definition
of political or revolutionary crimes which
may not be subject to extradition
