State Departments Renewed Eff
forts Due, 1t Is Understood,
to the Initiative of Folk.

Washington. July 27-It was learned
upon good authority to-day that the State
Department has taken up anew the VAIN
wright extradition case with the French
Republic.
While details are lacking, it is under
stood that the renewed activities upon
the part of State Department officials was
prompted by the initiative of Circuit At
torey Folk of ST. Louis.
Solicitor Penfield of the department,
when seen by The Republic correspondent
to-day, would not talk about the case
Questioned as to whether he had received
any communications from Folk or Cover
nor Dockery, ne declined to state
1t car be said at this time that former
efforts on the part of Secretary Hay to
make existing treaties with France retro
active and in this way secure the early re-
turn of Wainwright have proved futile
There is a probability. however. that the
treaty will be made 10 cover the VAIN
wright case.
1t is understood also that the State De-
partment has in hand treaties with Ger
many, Great Britain, Italy. the Neither
lands, Austria and Belgium, and that
within a few months there will be no place,
in the civilized world where the boodler
may find a safe retreat.

IN q dying condition in his room at the
boarding house of NJ. D. Harrington
early this morning He had been sick
for several days. but not seriously, and
an empty laudanum bottle on the table
NEARBY seemed to fully explain his con-
lition.
DR. G. NJ. Overstreet was hastily
summoned to his aid. but when the
doctor arrived he was beyond assist
ance and died a few minutes after
wards He left no letter or note ex-
planning the cause of his self destruc-
ton, if such il was, but he had been
cut of employment for some time, and
it is supposed that this, together with
his sickness. caused dependency and
led on to the fatal act.
The remains were carried this after
noon to Milen. where his parents re-
side. and will be inferred there to-moT
