Washington, Dec. ia treaty has
been concluded between the United
States and Great Britain amendatory
OF the existing extradition treaty and
intended to correct certain imperfec.
tions in that instrument, developed by
recent experiences. The changes do
not materially affect the scope or prin-
ciples OF the existing treaty, the chief
item In the list being provisions clas-
sifying as crime subject to extradi-
tion the obtaining of money under false
pretenses. At present the treaty
makes extraditionable the reception Of
money obtained under false pretenses
and omits the principal in the crime.
constituting a manifest absurdity.
To correct this the amendment is made.

ELECTRIC LINE
Between Alliance and Salem
Said To Be a Sure Thing
For the Future.

Alliance Review: H. w. Klein, OF
Allegheny, one of the officials of the A.
s. Il S. Electric Railway company, was
In Salem Friday, and the Herald OF
that city says he announced that the
proposed new line is sure go. He was
accompanied by J. w. Kelley, of New
Brighton, of long experience as a rail-
road contractor, and he will have
charge of the work of construction.
Mr.. Kelley will be the next assistant
to Mr.. Harold, the contractor of the
road.
Mr.. Klein said that the reason no
work was being done on the railway
at present, was because there was a
matter of private right of way which
had not yet been granted and which
causes a little uneasiness. However.
this matter Mr.. Klein expects to have
settled in a short time. Mr.. Klein also
said there was some trouble with til 2
Pennsylvania company about crossing
its tracks.
Mr.. Klein said the road was a sure
go and work on 1t would soon be re-
sumed. He wishes all farmers who
have crosstes to sell would write to
him at Allegheny. Mr.. Kelly would
also like to know where there are
gravel banks between Salem and AL
lance.
This will be glad news to the people
of Salem and Alliance, as the officials
of the railway have definitely decided
to go ahead with the project, and not
abandon it as many people had been led
to think by recent actions.
Messrs. Klein and Kelly drove ovel
the course of the line from Alliance 10
Salem Thursday. They spent consider
able time at Beloit and Sebring. They
are quite enthusiastic over the present
outlook.
