Legitimate payment OF money at every

this offer With the cooperation Of the
citizens and Of the city employees the
whole foul system can be broken up.

DANISH EXTRACTION TREATY.
Document Signed Today by Score
tHry Hay and Minister Brun.

An extradtion treaty between the
United States and Denmark was signed
This morning in the diplomatic reception
room of the State Department. Minister
C0n5tantin Brun represented Denmark.
while the Secretary OF State signed the
document for this country.
The proposition for a treaty OF this
nature arose nearly eight years ago. in
Cleveland's second Administration. Az
that time Denmark refused consent to
the extratdition OF ner own citizens who
had committed a crime in this country.
President Cleveland would not sign O
treaty without such provision. There
the matter rested.
In later Administrations cz-raditi0n
treaties were made with other countries
and without the clause objected to by
Denmark Seeing this the latter country
renewed its propositions on tine subject
with the result attained this morning.
