Canada is Set Forth.

Canada is Set Forth.
Ottawa, May 20.-H. G. Carroll. So
licitor general. yesterday brought down
the papers In the Gaynor-G Greene ex-
tradition case which formed somewhat
q cause cesebre in the province of Que
bee last year.
The most interesting feature of the
correspondence is memorandum for
the minister of justice setting forth the
practice in extradition cases very clear
ly 1t states "That whilst the chief
executive decides finally the question
OF delivery, or of non-delivery. the ju-
dicial authority makes preliminary in
vestigation as to the scriminality and
identity of the prisoner charged. If
the decision of the judicial authority
is that the evidence adduced is not suf-
fieient to sustain the charge, the fugi-
tive is released from custody, and the
question of surrender never comes be-
fore the executive at all. If the judicial
authority decides that the evidence is
sufficient the prisoner is committed to
await the action of the executive to
whom the record of proceedings is
transmitted for consideration. The ex-
ecutive may either order the fugitive's
surrender or in certain cases refuse to
do so. In other words the proceedings
before the judicial authority form the
basis of the action to be taken by the
executive. Such action is generally
the issue of a warrant by the minister
of justice after the expiration of fifteen
days from the date of the committal for
the surrender of the prisoner. Some
times. however. 1t may have a more
diplomatic or international aspect.

Capt. HiIIman Has Thrilling Ride
Behind the Huge Mammal.
Boston, May 20.-Captain Horace
Hillman. an Edgarton fisherman, has
been towed by maddened whale many
miles out to sea at speed rivaling
that of a fast express train. Hillman
and Manuel Correiro, Portuguese sail
or. were in the cat boat The!ma off the
southern shore of No Mans land, south
of Martha's Vineyard. Suddenly fin
back whale leaped out of the water
within ten feet of the Thelma and
brought down his immense tail with II
fearful swing. The boat rocked vio-
lently and both men We're thrown pros
trate. Then the whale started out to
sea. fouling the lines which attached the
nets to the boat and towing the Thelma.
Correiro was buried under a heap of
nets. Hillman was stunned by the fall,
but regained his feet and attempted
to release the Portuguese, but was un-
able to do so. Hillman estimates the
whale towed the Thelma at speed
of thirty miles an hour. After being
towed for four hours the Thelma was
freed. Hillman thinks the whale must
have slackened its speed and dlVed.
The captain was two days In bringing
the Thelma back to port.

Dubuque, May 2O.-The D. B. Hen
derson competitive examination for ap-
pointment to midshipmanship Of the
naval academy at Annapolis was held
at Waterloo on Friday and Saturday
of the past week and seven young
men entered the contest for naval hon
ors, and a Dubuque boy, Walter S.
Large. won out; Mr.. Davies of Water
loo was second and Carl Krakow of
Dubuque, was third. AS young Large
was the first alternate in the BirdsaH
appointment, he will in all probability
resign that appointment, thus giving to
Carl Krakow the first alternate In that
appointment, and, in case the winning
man of that contest fails at Annapolis
young Krakow stands fair chance of
being appointed Mr.. Large will go to
Annapolis in June and Will go into the
academy, This is not contested ex-
animation and all that remains for him
to do is simply undergo and pass the
examination. and of this there is little
doubt.
The examinations taken by the young
men in waterloo were difficult and eN-
acting and they were credit TO the
state and their respective cities.
Dubuque is especially fortunate in
having two young aspirants for the
navy who were possessed OF a physique
and mental attainments to undergo
and pass successfully the trying ex-
aminationS.

fund of gossip relative to the avail
ability OF Mr. Carlisle. He was sec
retary of the treasury under CleVeiano,
but his leaning towards silver was no
torious, and 1t is Well known that II the
secretary of the treasury had had his
own way, the country would have been
on a silver basis in the summer of 1894.
On this account, it is believed, the
Bryan men would take to Carlisle much
more kindly than to any other man
intimately associated with the Cleve-
land administration. Coming from
Kentucky he would have the enthusiast
tic support of the south, could carry
Missouri and would be in position to
make a dangerous sortie into Indiana
On the other hand the secretary has
long been pracucing law in New York
City. and could probably secure the
support of that state, providing Hill
and Parker are put out of the way

Milwaukee, May 20--Dr. 7. Allen
Hoben, of Waupum. Mis-, is the author
of book which will create sensa :
ton in church circles. The title of the
book is .'The Virgin Birth" In it he
disputes the doctrine of the imnlacu-

Jesus of Nazareth came into the world
in manner no different than any
other man born of woman"
The report that the book is to be used
as a text book by the University of
Chicago will give it more prominence.
DR.. Hoben says that the doctrine of the
virgin birth is not found in any writing
prior to Ignatius, in the second decade
OF the second century.
DR.. Hoben is the pastor of the Union

contended Examination Does Not Sc.
cure Best Men for Fire Department.

Chicago, May 2o.--The fire depart
ment committee of the Chicago Under
writer's Association met Monday to
work on the report that is to be sub
mitted to Mayor Harrison.
The topics under consideration are
equipment, working force. water sup
ply and the application Of the present
civil service. The report, it is said,
Will deal practically with the last
named point. 1t is contended that while
the fundamental principle Of civil serv-
ice in the department is desirable If not
absolutely necessary, the application of
the principle has not been for the good
of the department. One criticism with
the examinations is the class of men
that secure promation under the present
system of examinations. 1t is claimed
that the examinations are such that
men we'll versed in matters not of vital
interest to the department secure posi-
tions and promotion over those who
would make first-class dre fighters.
