An extradition case Of considerable in

Nicely affair and the question brought sor-

State Department. This Government has

the eKtraditiOn from that country 10 Cuba
Of two Spaniards arrested in Mexico on
complaint Of the United States on the
charge OF embeZzlement in Cuba. When
the application was made by the United
States the Mexican Government agreed to
eXtradite the men under the terms OF the
extraditiOn treaty between the United
States and Mexico, thus recognizing Cuba
as a part Of the United States
An acceptance Of this concession by the
United States would have been equivalent
10 a declaration by this Government that

story OF the siege elsewhere. 1t is unnec-
cessary to repeat it here. But 1t is pleas
ant to say that, in his plan, conduct, and
the success of his defence. Baden-PoWell
has paid a high compliment to this eoun-
try.
He is one of the very few British off,
GERS OF his generation who have possessed
the sense to realize that the place TO look
for the scientific results of experience in
savage frontier warfare was In the thea
tire in which II had been in almost contin-
uous progress for two centuries. namely.
in the United States OF America. If the
most obvious lessons of that experience.
and of American experience in the civil
war. had been needed by others. the Mod
der River and Magarsfontein plumbers
would have been impossible. and the pib-
roch would not have sounded over the
grave Of the gallant Highland chief, wau-
chope.
Baden Powell for years has been close
student OF the Indian campaigns of Gen
eral Miles, and OF the scouting tactics OF
such famous Americans as Buffalo BIZ

strategy and tactics as exemplihed
in the achievements of these
masters of scout campaigning, Baden
Powell has learned tfat, given straw. one
can always have bricks. What he has done
appears marvellous in comparison with the
conservative and conventional methods and
limitations Of many of his colleagues in
command in South Africa.
Much the same thing has often been &C
cOmplished in principle by American Off
GERS in our own Western and Southern
fields. But this does not detract from the
glory which attaches to the defender Ct
MafckiEg. While other British officers
have been badly tainted with Braddockism,
Baden Powell has shown the military. con-
structiye, and administrative genius Of the
young Washington of Brsddock's day. The
whole world will applaud while the Queen
and her people shower honors and dignities
upon one who is an everlasting credit TO
his service and to the whole Anglo Saxon
race.

The Foreign Horde.

lFrOm the FmIadeIphla Leugef.|
The arrival Of more than 5000 immigrants at
the port Of New York in a single day calls at
tention again 10 the much discussed subject Of
restricting immigration. Where this class OF
travellers comes in such large numbers there
cannot be the examination necessary to decide
whether or not all are proper persons for admis-
sion to the country, and their shipment in such
throngs leads 10 strong suspicion that the immi-
grafton agents abroad or the authorities OF coun-
tries which have promised to exercise supervision
over the selection Of people to be permitted 70
come 70 the United States not doing their
duty. Il shows, also, that the problem Of re-
stricting undesirable immigration has yet to be
solved.

Reasonably Alarmed.


(From the Montreal Herald-)
The Manchester Chamber Of Commerce is already
up in arms at the proposal TO be made by
Canadian delegates to the Imperial Congress in
favor of an imperial preferential tariff The
Manchester men are free traders OF the s;alwart
kind. They know through what struggles Eng
land reached the goal OF Golden and Bright and
they are not prepared 10 relinquish the fruits OF
that struggle at the suggestion Of few Cana
dian gentlemen, VINO are far from representing
the whole Of the commercial classes OF Canada
They will propose a motion declaring that all
measures for the promotion OF inter-imperial
trade should respect the liberty Of each portion
OF the Empire 20 purchase in the cheapest mar
ket. That Manchester in this matter represents
all Britain is clear 20 anyone who has followed
the discussions On the subject.

READY TO NAME BECKHAM.
Kentucky Democrats VIII Nominate
Him 81 He Wins i'm Court

FRANKFORT. Ky. May 19.-The call of
the State Committee to meet here May %
was issued on the expectation that the de-
cision of the Federal Supreme Court in the
Governorship contest will have been rem
dered before then. The committee will call
a convention to name delegates to Kansas
City, electors, and, if Governor Beckham
should win, nominate candidate for Gov
ernOr.
Former Chief Justice and former COnfed-
crate Gen. John II. Lewis today declined to
become a candidate for the nomination in
the event OF Beckham's success in the Su-
preme Court. This. it is claimed, ensures
Beckham the nomination.
The Republicans are almost unanimous
in favor of renominating Taylor if Beck
ham wins. Ii is believed TayIcr will de-
cline the nomination and accept an ap-
pointment from President Mckinley should
the indictment against him not be made
public when the Supreme Court acts.

As We seem 10 remember remarking be-
fore. it is a rich thing to have contributed
TO that inspiriting Hanna victory at Column
bus. Verify. the laborer is worthy of his
hire. Rathbone's personal Office in Ha-
vana managed the branches Of mail trans
portation and star routes in Cuba. These
cost severally fourteen thousand and
twenty-eight thousand dollars. The sal
aries paid for their administration amount
ed to two hundred and nineteen thousand
dollars. How pleasantly things like this
remind one of the fat old carpetbag days
in South Carolina and Mississippi!

Although the customary Presidential
year labor troubles have begun unseason-
ably early this time, they promise to make
the summer more or less lively in certain
localities In St Louis the street car
strikers have been very liberal in the use
Of firearms and dynamite for several days,
and a number Of policemen and drivers
have been shot and brutally beaten by
mobs- The city authorities do not appear
able 20 cope with the situation. So the
metropolis of Missouri is under a reign

OF wild speculation. After a tremendous
struggle Mr.. Campau has achieved a nota-
bic personal triumph in Michigan over his

Of lukewarmness toward Bryan, and bis
reelection 10 the Democratic National
Committee is assured Mr. Campau fas
had frequent talks with Senator Jones and
other party leaders since he has been in
Washington, and il is believed that the
burden Of their talk has been on the sub
jeCt of forcing instructions for Bryan in
every State convention that is yet to be
held. The Michigander does not think Mr.
Bryan is in the least danger, but il is said
that he believes it viii be the part Of wis
dom to have the delegates bound to the
Nebraskan by definite instructions before
they go TO Kansas City. Mr.. Campau Will
have a conspicuous role in the manage
ment OF the campaign. Four years ago he
was Chairman Jones chief Of staff. and IL
is supposed that he will occupy that POSI-
tiOn again this year if Senator Jones is
reelected to the head of the party organi-
