Accompanying this will also the cor- rerpondence, {oF it is understood today that the State De} it has given its consent to the publication of the messages that passed be- tween the tatives of the contracting powers. The Senate had about made up its mind that it would act regardless of the feel- ings of the State Department, and that consent was readily secured, although consent to make public the text of the instrument iteelf has never been withheld. Mr. Butler, acting chair- man of the committee on foreign relations, was absent yesterday or it is probable that the treaty would have been released then. Extraordinary care has been taken that this treaty shouid be kept as a profound secret, and it has been almost impossible to get a1 like an accurate insight into the much- convention. The most recent treaty previously made by this government bearing upon the e: tradition of criminals was that made with Bel- gium in 1882, and that contains a clause that is ‘said by Senators to be almost identical with the “Political clause” of the treaty under diseus- jon. POLITICAL CLAUSES NOT RARE. Political clauses are not at all rare in treaties made by the United States, for from early days the right of asylum has been protected in all conventions that have been negotiated. In | many cases the language is exactly the same, while in others there is a different way of ex- Pressing the intention of this government, ut it is expressly stipulated that extradi: tion will not be granted for offenses of a political nature in the treaties with Aus- tria, Baden, Belgium, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Hayti, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Orang: Free State, Spain, Sweden and Norway and the Swiss con. federation. Some of these treaties were made | many years ago and although amended an altered the “political clause” still remains. The crime of forgery, by which is meant—as | stipulated in the treaties—the utterance of Miss Sally Dulany Chichester and Mr. Samuel | | Bridges Loving are ons coupie. and Miss Lucy Hanter Chichester and Mr. Douglass Sorrell Mackall are the other. only the relatives of the uniting families are bidden, will follow at 1807 Q street. Mr. and Mrs, Hallet Kilbourn are enjoying a | reach the visit from M. and Madame Bourgeat, formerly Miss Beila Kilbourn, who arrived from France Inst Saturday. They will remain in this coun- try only about two months. Mrs. Stevenson, wife of the Vice President, started for her home in Bloominton, IIL, yes- terday with the present intention of not retarn- ing here until next fall. A reception, to. which | the peenl | and strict surveillance elect, has sent out invitations for the event. | ernment of the czar, forged papers. and also the counterfeit public, sovereign and governmental acts, which appears in the Russian treaty, also appears in many of these earlier treaties, but the fact remains, as stated on the floor of the Senate when this particular treaty was up for discussion, that no country maintains « frontier guarded against the escape of its citi- zens at all compared with the rigid discipline maintained by the gov- and what might bea simple provision intended to provide for the capture of criminals, pure and simple, in any one of these other countries becomes, under r conditions that exist in Russia, standing menace to the safety of every man who may be able to get out of that country and shores of America, THE TREATY WITH BELGIUM.

Mrs. A. C. Barney will not receive tomorrow (Friday) evening. Senator and Mrs. Wolcott have gone to the Hot Springs, Arkansas, to get rid of the former's gout. When that happy date is reached they will proceed to their home in Colorado. Mrs. Wolcott was ill with a bad attack of grip lately and was notable to visit her friends before leaving the city for this long absence. The many friends of Mrs. Elizabeth Burke will be shocked to hear of her sudden death from typhoid pneumonia in California, where she went on a pleasure trip two weeks ago. Mrs. Audenried has invitations out for a tes | Easter Monday to meet Mrs. Daniel S. Lamont. Mrs. Lamont and her three chiidren will be here to spend the Easter holidays with Secre- tary Lamont.

The next meeting of the club will be held at the residence of Mrs. McWhorter the 14th of April. ————_-e+___ ALONG THE WHAKVES, Getting the Potomac Boats Ready for the ming Season. It is probable that Washington harbor is soon to lose another of its old and familiar craft. This is the steamboat June. Rumor bas it that she is to sail to and henceforth make her home at Crisfield, eastern shore of Maryland. A good many improvements are being made in the craft. The pitch of her shaft is to be so rearranged as to increase the revolutions of her engine, The June | was formerly the Belle L, and has hed an eventful his- tory. She was built at Lewes, Del, in 1881, is 42.40 tons gross, 28.75 tons ‘net, 77.2 feet length, 16.8 feet beam and 7.4 feet in the hold. Before her christening as the Belle L. she was known to the registry of the Ameri- can merchant marine as the steam yacht Bredell. It is eaid now that she is to be used as a ferry between Crisfield and some adjacent port. She has been engaged in the excursion and charter trade along the Potomae. PROBABLE ENLARGEMENT OF A DOCK. One of the important and interesting river front probabilities is that the River View pier t this end of the line isto be renewed and con- siderably enlarged. There have been several consultations between parties interested and this morning Mr. Rodgers of Alexandria, the dock constructor, came up to Washington in his steam yacht, the C. W. Ridley. and beid a long interview with Commodore E. 8. Randall. Both gentlemen declared that the results of the interview were not quite ready for publication, but they indicated that the Washington dock was to be enlarged so as to accommodate the in- creased trade and fleet of River View. SOME OF THE RIVER BOATS. ‘The flagship of the Potomac excursion fleet, the steamer Mary Washington, has been sent to Alexandria, where she will be hauled up on the marine railway for recalking. repainting and general overhauling preparatory to the sum- Mer season. It is quite hkely that the will run the Occoquan route in connection wit her River View trade.

An additional clause pro- vides that “a person who has been surrendered on account of one of the common crimes or offenses mentioned shail, consequently, in no case be prosecuted and punished in’ the extradition has been granted on account, of a political crime or offense committed by him previously to his extradition or on account of an act connected with such political crime or offense unless he has been at liberty to leave the country for one month after having been tried, and in case of condemnation for one month’ after having suf- fered his punishment or after having been par- doned. It is understood that this provision is also found in the Russian treaty, but it was as- serted upon the floor of the Senate that extra- dition to Belgium and to Russia under treaties of precisely the same wording meant two vastly different things. During this debate it was brought forcibly to the attention of the Senate by one of the lead- ing constitutional lawyers of the south that this country had at one time asked for and secured the extradition of a man charged with what might have been under sucha treaty called » tical offense. He referred to the arrest of john 1H. Surratt, who was implicated in the conspiracy which resulted in the assassi- nation of Lincoln, Surratt. fled to Egspt and joined the army of the khedive; thence to Rome, where he became one of the Papal Zouaves. He was recognized bya citizen of Baltimore, who notified this government of his “hereaboute. Tpon application to the pope, italy, Surratt was sent to this country and tried. WHAT A REPUBLICAN SENATOR SATS, A prominent republican Senator, who has been pronounced in his opposition to the rati- fication of this treaty, makes the statement that the new treaty, not only with Russia, but th France, bears the semblance of a deliber- ate effort to bolster up, or at least strengthen, the cause of the United States in certain deli- te diplomatic negotiations now in progress. in other words,” said he, “we purchased our present Bering sea seal fisheries of Russia, a party to one of these treaties, Our differences with England are about to be settled by the high court of arbitration at the capital of the nation which is a party to the other treaty, and hasalso named one of the arbitrators. It looks very much to me like a deliberate attempt to violate the rights of human liberty and return human beings into what is worse than slavery in order that wi may protect a few seals.” = Is IT FROM THE NARONIC? A Mysterious Bottle Picked Up on the Vir- ginia Const. A bottle was picked up at Ocean View, Va, yesterday by Watchman William Jobason, which contained the following letter: “3.10, Fesevanr 19. “4S. 8. Naronic, White Star line, at sea. “To whom picks this up report when you find this to our agents if not heard of before that.
