On the other hand, it is the most popular sort of
thing for the Yankees to fish in forbidden waters They
have violated the law, not only but thousand times
The fact that they occasionally lost boat in the operation

 NEW YORK, April 1. - Assistant District Attorney Garvan has left for Cincinnati to conduct the legal pro ceedings necessary for the extradition of J. Morgan Smith and his wife.
 Although the fact was not discussed at length officially in the district attor- ney's office. it is known that the Smiths will make strenuous fight against be- ing brought back to this city.
 A Columbus report says that on ap- plication of Robert McNaught, a ser geant of detectives of New York, pa- pers were issued at Governor Her rick's office for the eXtradition of J. Morgan Smith and wife, Julia Patter- son-Smith. who are under arrest in Cincinnati and are wanted in New York on charge of conspiracy to blackmail the late Caesar Young The papers were quickly issued, and De- tective McNaught left at once for Gin cinnati.
 On the subject of their connection with the alleged murder of Caesar Young, however, they would say little. This silence undoubtedly has something to do with q telegram received from Washington, which read: ~n''@"

A German paper states that during the month of November the number of unemployed persons increased large ly in France and England, especially in the latter country, where in thirty five municipal districts 390,S22 persons were out of work or in want. The number of the unemployed working people in the city of London is esti- mated to be over 100000. In many trades wages have been reduced. Large subscriptions are now raised in London to provide food for the poor and unemployed. The high price of bread and meat makes the condition of the working classes all the harder. An interpolation in the French cham Der of deputies has produced the state ment that in 1904 there were about 10 per cent fewer people employed in France than during the year before. As there are about. 5,5OO,OO0 industrial workers in that country, this percent age would show over half a million unemployed.

turned down in every money market in the world. Her bonds are steadily declining in spite of the most remark able support from financial interests ever witnessed. Japan, on the other hand, has issued about $450,000, ,000 bonds, including this weeks loan, which was oversubscribed many times the first day offered; while Jap anese issues are steadily rising, part ly owing to success in the field and partly because their credit was under estimated at the beginning of the war. What the effects of ending the war will be. it is difficult to foresec. There will undoubtedly be a rapid expansion of commerce and industry in the far east; Japan will recuperate quickly, but how Paris will get over the strain now endured remains to be proved. When the war is over there will be less occasion to support Russian bonds than now, and they may sag when the big holders endeavor to dis tribute their heavy load. Fortunately Europe, and France especially, is en- toying prosperity, and is better able than usual to withstand crisis; but the danger point is by no means past, and that is why France refused as sistance to her old ally. It should also be remembered that London did not recover immediately from effects of the Boer war. both depression and recovery being much delayed. Only recently has London emerged from the shadow of that conflict. Now sun light begins to shine for the first time since the war period, and is reflected not only upon the money market, but also upon the general business situa- tion.

The other day car laden with del icacies for the wounded at the Russian hospitals in the East, contributed by women of rank in Moscow and St. Pet ersburg. was ovcrhauled just before starting for its destination, when it was found that dummy packages were substituted for the real ones, and all the delicacies were gone. They had probably been sold and the money pocketed by some of the officials, mill tary or civil, having them in charge. As n further illustration of Russian graft and corruption, the story may he re. peated of a certain Russian warship on duty in the Behring sea, to guard seal fisheries--that is, to prevent the slaughter of the female seals out of season. The admiral of the station, tl the course of an inspection of the ves- sel. invited any of the sailors who mad complaints to make to step forward. One of the men, as spokesman for the whole crew. complained meant, he dis. covered that the ships commander had been doing a lucrative trade ty killing the seals placed under his protection and sending the skins to London. and had taken the crew into partnership.

Georgc Q. Tiffany Testified That HA
 Was Hostile to Judge.
 ALBANY, N. r., April That his part in the agitation against Justice Warren B. Hooker and in the publica. tion of charges connecting the justice with alleged irregularities concerning appointments and rental matters in the postoftices at Fredonia and Dun. kirk was due entirely to Justice Hook. CTS failure to secure his appointment as postmaster at Fredonia was most candidly admitted by George c. Tiff fany, a Fredonia undertaken, to the assembly judiciary committee in its investigation of the charges involving Justice Hooker.
 He declared that he and Justice Hooker had been close friends for many years and that the justice, then representative in congress, had prom. ised to secure the postmastership for him, but had proved untrue" to him. Both Tiffany and William c. Hudson, the latter representative of the Brook lyn Eagle, positively denied the asser- tions of Frank r. Ball, who testified last Wednesday that Tiffany had tried in Hudson's presence to influence him to make statements which would re- suit in Justice Rockers removal from the bench.
 ''I loved him as a brother" said MT. Tiffany in explaining his relations with Justice Hooker. He said he had known MT. Hooker for twenty years and had been extremely friendly toward him until four years ago, when Taylor was appointed postmaster.
 How long did that love last?" asked Lewis B. Carr, counsel for Justice Hooker.
 Until he became untrue to me-"
 "When was that?"
