AN EXTRACTION TREATY.
The Senate Ratifies New Conven-
ton with Great Britain.

The Senate yesterday in executive ses-
sion ratified the supplemental extradition
treaty with Great Britain. The treaty
adds to the list of crimes for which a
man can be extradited from one country
to the other the following: Obtaining
money under false pretenceA. the destruc-
ton or obstruction Of railroads, the en-
dangering of human life, and the pro-
curing of abertions.
The treaty was not discussed at any
length, but Senator Mason asked several
questions about it. He pointed out that
the inclusion of the crime of obtaining
money upon false representation might
prove a dangerous experiment. He sug-
gested that cases might arise under which
a person might be eXtradited for ordinary
debts.
Senator Lodge replied that most of our
treaties with other countries contain a
provision similar to this. and said it was
to be presumed that the usual precautions
to guard against injustice would be
taken.
The vote upon the ratification of the
treaty was 40 to l6.
