Abscondcr Holds That State Has Lost
 its Treaty Rights by Delay.

San Diego. cal. Feb. 27-The extradi- ton matter in which the Connecticut officials seek to obtain possession of William F Walker. accused treasurer of the Savings bank of New Britain. was up for argument to-day before Judge Cardena of the Federal court Of Lower Californa. at Ensenada. the prisoner being represented by F P. Ramierez and the people by Prosecutor Savignon.
 The main contention IS that Connec- ticut has lost her rights under the treaty. not getting the papers in En- senada inside of forty days specified in the treaty Ramierez showed that the American authorities had held very closely to this clause and that embez- zlers wanted in Mexico were now free in the United states because of it.

INDIAN MAKES AN ADDRESS
Hart Lyman Says That Connecticut Has Never Received All.thc Credit Due to the
 State.

Like an idealzed inside of a Puritan home was the appearance given by the the Quinnipiack club dining room at the annual banquet of the mem bers last evening. The hall had been covered with brown cloth; even the ceiling, and the cloth in turn being adorned with ancient chromos which gave the whole room a truly colonial air. Half way up the side of the room. to do away with fear of any invader, there were crossed guns, swords and other weapons.
 Down below were tables loaded with food in colonial style. Beside the roasts and other routine articles there were piles of tempting apples nd other fruits, and at each place in birch bark cup was the cider which, as the poet has rightly said. has made New England famous. Candles in the sticks which are only seen now in the oldest country homes, lighted the festive board around which were the Puritans and their friends, the ln- dians.
 Noticed among the throng were four handsome Puritan maidens who from time, to time during the evening burst into song in praise of the speak CTS, an innovation which reminded one rather of the choruses of the Greek writers than what occurs at a New England dinner. These maidens were husky looking articles and seem ed to have suffered none from the rig orous lives they have lived in the new world In their places, running about the table, were Nubians, these too, in ancient costumes. The menu and toast list follows

DRAKE WINS SKATING RACE.

Heralded Champion OF Northwest
Drops Race by Default to Local
Champion.
In the big skating race at the Ire
land ring last night, Harry Drake won
by default from King, the heralded d
northwest champion. The race went
to Drake through the fact that King
dropped out at the end of the seth
lap, while the race was scheduled for
So laps.
At the outset OF the race King was
given the inside track and led the
race. Only once did Drake pass him
and then King recovered his position
at the next corner. However, when
he had gone 80 laps King was plain
ly winded and spectators declare that
he dropped out for that reason. Drake
finished the course in good shape and
was declared the winner OF the race.
While King is a splendid short dis
tance skater, 1t was shown last night
that Drake is his superior in a long
race through having much better
wind.
The race last night was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds that ever
assembled In the Ireland rink.

BYERS' OFFER GOOD
FANS MAY LOOK TO MILL
MAN FOR BALL GROUNDS
Made Conditional Offer of East End
Property Last Year and Still Holds
Offer Good Should Enthusiasts
Care to Take 1t Up This Season.
Chance TO Make Permanent Ath-
leuc Park for City-Lease OH Mat
lock Ground VIII Soon Expire.

With the agitation for league
baseball team for Pendleton the prop
osition of securing a more favorable
backgrounds has again been brought
to the fore and those interested in the
movement to form a team here are
also keeping their eyes open for new
location.
That his offer of last year regard
ing the construction of a ball park
upon his east end property still
stands was stated to the East Ore
gonIan this morning by w. S. Buyers.
Last year Mr.. Byers made a condi-
tional offer to the baseball association
and at the time 1t was looked upon
with much favor by many fans.
While nothing has yet been done it is
possible that the association may de
eide to accept his offer
For years 1t has been claimed by
many that the city should have a
permanent ball ground so that money
spent in Improvements would not be
lost outright. Should a new park be
secured 1t is the intention to get IL
upon such a basis that money spent
upon improvements would not be
wasted.
The present lease upon the Mat
lock grounds will expire shortly and
under the terms of the lease held by
the old association the grounds may
be had for another year at the same
price, $500 per year. II the associa-
ton wishes to renew the contract.

Carnival March 10.
The students of the high school are
now preparing for two different en-
tertainments that will undoubtedly
prove popular with the people OF the
city. The first will be a carnival to
be given in the assembly room about
March 10, while later in the season
the juniors will present George AIDES

The carnival will be given to raise
money for the athletic teams OF the
school and It will be in the nature OF
a burlesque Trail" The assembly
room will be made into a street with
booths on either side and all the Won
derful attractions OF the Lewis and
Clark midway will be reproduced.
The rights for "The College Widow"
were secured yesterday for the juniors
by Harold Warner, and IL 1t is found

Steamer ]. ~ Teal of the Open
River Transportation company, will be
put back on the river between The
Dalles and Portland about the first
of March, according to information
given out by II. A. Cotter. local agent
of the company, says The Dalles
Chronicle. The boat has been thor
oughly overhauled and remodeled
since it's burning last fall and will be
in condition to handle the work Of
the. company better than ever before,
as 1t is being fitted out with a new
and complete passenger deck.
The Relief, a boat on the upper rlv-
er working in conjunction with the
Teal for the o. r. T. Co., is also laid
upon account of the extreme low
stage of the river The Relief will
return to the work as soon as the

During the drill by company L last
night those Of the company who quail
flied as marksmen and sharpshooters
last season were presented by Cap
tain Kern with the medals due them
To Sergeants Oliver and Drake and
Private Greiner fell sharpshooter
medals, while Sergeant Bailey and
Privates Blanchett and Nissen were
given marksmen medals.
The medals for shooting proficiency
are given annually by the government
for the purpose of stimulating inter-
est in target practice. Soldiers are
grouped according to proficiency in
to three classes, marksmen, sharp
shooters and expert riflemen. The
fact that but few secured medals Is
due largely to the fact that company
L was given but little practice on the
range. Most of those securing med
ais were members of the team that
was sent to Roseburg and made their
Strings" there. Had there been
more opportunity for practice several
of the team would doubtless have
qualified as expert riflemen.
VIII Entertain Friends.
Last night 1t was voted by the com,
pany to give a dancing party next

people and other friends OF the com
pany who assisted In the recent en-

TRADE "PICKING UP"
Large Increase in the Foreign Trade
OF Recent Months.


Henry Clews says of the excellent
foreign trade of the past two months
following the financial furry.
The January foreign trade returns
were unusual and, all things consid-
cred, encouraging. Our total exports
in January were 100000, being
much the largest total on record for
January, and $17000,000 in excess Of
the same month last year.
This gain was chiefly due to in
creased shipments of breadstuffs;
wheat alone contributing nearly $S,-
600. 900 increase, or one-half of the
amount. There was also consider
able gain in exports of mineral oils.
The import side of the side account
was not quite so satisfactory, the to-
tai importations in January amount
ing to only $S5,7O0,0O0, a decrease of
$42, 100000 compared with thesame
uary was the smallest OF any January
since 1904, the falling off being chief
ly in luxuries and expensive products.
We also bought less or raw mate
rials for manufacturing purposes, but
the decrease in this respect was
smaller than in the other. Our ex-
cess of exports over imports for the
month amounted to $120,500, 900,
compared with 62,7OO,OOO a year
ago. Inasmuch as the excess Of ex-
ports leaves a balance in our favor
abroad and assists in the retention
Of gold, these results should be re-
garded as satisfactory, although the
decline in imports must be recognized
as the effect of business reaction.
