WALKERS EXTRADITION.
Second and Less Hopeful Telegram
 From MT Pease.

New Britain, Jan. 3.--A second telegram has been received from Julius H. Pease, representative of the Savings Bank of New Britain at En- senada, The receipt of the message was kept secret, but Treasurer F.. N. Stanley this evening admitted he had received one. He said he did not want to be interviewed concern ing it and refused to state its con tents. He said it contained nothing of public interest.
 Mir Stanley was asked if the dis patch referred to any difficulties about extraditing Walker. He de- cline1 to answer. but he did say that it might take several mG.iths before Walker was brought here. He eN- pressed confidence that the bank would have him here in time. but ai- mitted that it was a tedious job. He said the United States had only had treaty with Mexico for few years and the laws were such as to be most favorable to the criminal to be ex- tradited. It was necessary to go a good deal further than simply to specify what crime the criminal vas wanted for. and to make out prima facie case against him. after which the party has the right to appeal.
 Mir Stanley was questioned about the chance of Walker coming home of his own volition. He said that un- der the Mexican laws If the authori- ties at Ensenada gave him mp. Chief Egan would have no further con- trol over him without his consent un- til he was on United States soil. He did not appear to believe that after the experience the bank had had with Walker it would be justified in placing so much confidence in him.
 There is no information about the securities.

1 The annual reunion banquet of the Algonquin club was held at The Elton last evening. There have been gatherings which surpassed the AL gonquins as regards number at the hotel the past year and undoubtedly the party formed by the twenty-eight i members will look small in compari- son to some that will dine there tho next twelve months; but as for an enjoyable banquet that of last even ing could not be improved upon.

During the evening brief addresses were made by other mem- bers of the club. When the AL gonquinites finished at The Elton they went to their rooms in the Chase building where an excellent musical programme was rendered.

HOW SUTTON WAS NAMED.
Nickname of "FidO" Was Given Him
 in the West.

Many have wondered where Frank Sutton got his nickname, "Fido,' which sticks to him closer than a DOT ous plaster, Phil Jason unraveled the mystery the other day with an interesting little tale. Phil said : Sutton had that label put on his back in '04, out at Fort Wayne, Ind, by Jim 'Muggsy' McGraw, our half back. Sutton, Griffith and I were playing together that year. Sutton befriended a homeless dog one night and took him home. Of course he couldn't shake the cur the next day. Well, Sutton, McGraw and few oth- CTS were out hunting. and somehow Sutton plunged into some bushes and drove out three rabbits. Then and there Muggsy tackled Sutton with his name for all time, Fido. Muggsy said Sutton was better hunter than his dog and deserved the name of Fido. And Sutton has never been able to shake the name."
