THE EXTRADITION TREATY NEGOTIATIONS BE- TWEEN WASHINGTON AND THE FOREIGN OFFICE—LORD DERBY'S POSITION—MR. FISH'S ARGUMENT—WHAT THE QUEEN'S GOVERN- MENT HOPES CONCERNING THE ‘‘ADDITIONAL ARTICLE” —WILL THERE BE A NEW TREATY? Loxvox, Juno 8, 1876, Tho British Foreign OMoce has published the corre- spondence rolative to the extradition treaty between Great Britain and the Untted States. From this it ap- pears that Mr. Hoffman, the American Chargé d’Af- faires, in conversation with Lord Derby, on May 25, suggested a settlement of the difficulty by tho negotia- tion of an article additional to the treaty of 1842, EARL DERHY’S NOTE, Lord Derby wrote to Mr. Hoffman saying the gov- ernment was ready to meet this suggestion immedi- ately, and enclosed the draft of dn article providing that persons extradited shall only be tried for the offence for which they are surrendered. This article is similar to the one formerly. agreed to by Mr. Fish during the negotiations in 1871, concerning a revised treaty. TRUKGRAPON TO WASHINGTON, Earl Derby telegraphed Mr. Thornton, the British Minister at Washington, authorizing him to sign the additional article as above. Mr. Fish declined to ac- cept the proposal, and expressed to Minister Thornton his extreme regret that Mr. Hoffman’s suggestion shonld have led Lord Derby into a muisapprebensiofi, Though the United States are willing to make a new and enlar.ed treaty they could not agree to the pro- posed article. HK AGAIN WRITES TO THE QUEEN'S MINISTER, Earl Derby wrote to Minister Thornton, on the 29th of May, expressing regret that Secretary Fish declined to agree to the additional article, as every obstacle to the surrender of prisoners would have been thereby removed, On the question as to what authority should decide whether on offence for which a prisoner’s extra- fition’ ia demanded js political or criminal, England agreed to meet Mr. Fish’s views by omitting from the Hause words empowering police magistrates to deter- mine the nature of the crime, but the government sould not hold out the hope that it would be possible to ask Parhament to sanction a treaty opposed to the act of 1870 or which would permit the trial of oxtraditea persons for extraditable crime other than that for which they were surrendered. OFFICIAL HorE. Tle concludes:;—‘‘The government earnestly hope that Secretary Fish will withdraw his objection to the addtitonal article and thus enable a new treaty to bé signed immediately."

This daughter hag fora long time manifested symp- toms of inganity, at times being extromely violent, Her violent spells were of raro occurrence, however, and although Mrs. Faddis had often been advised to have Rachet placed in an asylum she always refused, saying that as long as she could manage her cho pre- ferred to have her home. wo weeks ago tho old lady was missed from her customary ronuds, and a call wes at once made at her house. Thore was no ono to be found there but Rachel. She was asked where her mother was, but the only reply ehe made was, “They took her to glory. Fears were at opce entertained tnat the old lady had been made away with by Rachel. A women living near Mrs, Faddis’ said she had beard loud screatns at the Jatter’s house a night or two before, but as Rachel was in the habit of occasionally induleing in loud lameota- tions she thought nothing seriously of the matter, The country was searched ior days, bat no signa of the re- mains of the missing woman could be jound. On Monday Jast a visit was inade to the house, Rachel having becn Temoved to other quarters, The stencn that pervaded the rooms was horrible. Disinfectants were scattered about the place, and two men, stimulated with brandy, made a search of the house. They found a closet in one corner ot the house, the existence of which had not been known by any one before, In this they found the remains of Mra, Faddis.

A paper on “Obstetrics,” by Dr. 8 C. Buasy, of Washington. D. C., was read, and a commit. toe to report upou the subject of bovine and animal vaccination, as compared with the usual arm to arm Practice, was appointed, THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL. Boston, Jane 8, 1876. The Emperor and Empress arrived here this evening by special train from Lowell, and were heartily received at the depot by the large crowd waiting to welcome them. There was, however, no attempt at a formal reception, and all the authori- tes kept well out of view. Quarters had been secured at the Revere House for the imperia! party, and as this had become known a large crowd assembled at the door where it was supposed they would enter. The hotel proprietors, however, disappointed the spec- tators by ordering the couchmen to execute @fank movement and*conduct their Majesties to their apartments by the opposite wing of the building. Everything was done with excellent judg- ment to prevent thoughtless curiosity from intrnd- ing itself on the imperial visitors. It is evident that a great deal of popular interest is felt in the imperial visitors by the Bostonians, as the large crowds assembled at the railway depot and about the hotel were supplemented at intervals along the Toute by large greups who took up points of vantage to watch their Majesties pass, As His Majesty worked very hard from early morning till the moment of his departure examin- ing the schools and workshops of Lowell, it is not likely that he will venture out again to-night, especially as he has decided to devote five full days to Boston and het institutions, Among the most interesting visits made at Lowell were those to the mills of the Middlesex Company, chiefly engnged in the manufacture of shawls, Here there are employed something like 1,000 hands. His Majesty went carefully through all the departments, asking questions on all points that interested him, He paid special attention to the dyeing of the wool, as dyestuits enter largely into the exportations of Brazil, All the other members of his snite ceased their inspection at the door of the dyeing establish- ment, but Ilis Majesty defled the noxious odors in his search after knowledge. The Lowell. Manufacturing Company's carpet works were next visited, with both pleasure and profit. Although a comparatively new industry in tnis country, carpet making haus met with good success and is prospering. The great ditticulty— that of fixing permanently the colors—having been thoroughly overcome, 1,500 persons find employ- ment in these works, which turn out 37,000 yards of carpet per week. They are now manofacturing the class of goods known as Brussels carpet with considerable success, as Was proved by the speci- mens of the work shown to their Majesties, who pronounced it“very good,” and the Emperor said the mitl is equal to anything he has seen in Europe. It being now near midday the imperial party drove to the Merrimac Works to see the army of labor pour out into the street from that huge human hive, where 2,700 hands are employed. Having en- Joyed this sight - their Majesties drove through the town and its environs, which are very pretty. Every- where there is an air of comfort and well-being that denotes general prosperity. The tmperial party returned to see the Merrimac Mill in operation and were shown through all the departments, His Majesty was' particularly anxious to visit the calico printing department to acquaint himself with the system of printing the patterns on the cotton fabric, He was shown the various processes, but when he tried to tind out the material used for the printing and fix- ing of the colors he was answered politely but vaguely, and left not much wiser than when he en- tered. Visits were made later on to the Lowell Machine Shops, where most of the machines used in the man- ufacture of cotton are made and more than 1,000 men find employment. His Majesty was also much pleased by his visit to the Hosiery Mill of the Law. rence Manufacturing Company. Ile was also favor- ably impressed with the energy and industry that were everywhere displayed, not alone in Lowell, but along the whole route.

Curacoa, May 14, 1876, A question of considerablo difficulty bas arisen be- tween tho governments of the Republic of Venezuela and the United States in consequence of the summat arrest and imprisonment of Di, Charles W. Torrey, of Yonkers, N. Y., a native born American, by order of Presideat Guzman Blanco. HISTORY OF THR CASE. The official documents, which have been forwarded to Washington, are lengthy, but the pith of the case is as Jollows:—Dr, Torrey states that he went to Vene- zuela and Curacoa with tho view of establisn- ing o line of steamers to ply between Curacon and New York. President Blanco, of Venezuela, is said to be personally interested in the Profits of the carrying trade, as it was then con jucted, some fifteen or eighteen months since. Ay imm diate point of grievance camo in consequence of the visit of the schooner Midas to different ports of Venezuela and in the neighborhood, for the purpose, as alleged by President Blanco, of supplying arms and ammunition to the Venezuelan revolutionists; but, as Dr. Torrey asserts, for the business of Jogitimate trado in connection with tho organization of the steamship line, . The Midas was accused by the Blanco Execu- tive.ot being engaged in smuggling, and mander and crew in “hatching conspiracie: the existing government. This j4 demed emphatically by the Americans, Thoy say that the Midas left Cura- con for a Venezuelan port, -Ianded the cargo, said to consist of arms and ammunition; but this was not proved, however. She visited another port immedi- atoly alterward for water and news, was seized by Guz- man’s officers, tho Captain and crew tortured with thuinbscrews, without anything being elicited except from a little cabin boy, who knew nothing, but was forced to say whatever was wanted. Thoy wore then all, including one passenger, thrown into prison and de- tained variously from six to ten months, DR. TORREY’S SUFFER Dr. Torrey, wishing to return to the United States and land at New York, applied for a passport to the Vene- zuclan Secretary of State, which was at first granted, but subsequently revoked. He then aszed permission ot the government at Caracas to jeave on the English steamer for Curacoa, against which dependency ot Hol- Jand Blanco eptertuing a strong dislike. Having em- barked on bis voyage ho landed at Laguayra and re- ported to the American Consul. His passport was vised | by the Venezuelan officer of the port. ‘The Doctor was, however, subsequently refused a ticket to leave on the English mail steamer without permission from tho authorities, The signals for the steamer to go were duly given, tho baggage was put off, but Dr, Torrey was suinmarily ar. rested by virtuo ‘of the personal order of Guzman Blanco. “He was detained many hops, although it was known that he was bearing despatches to tne United States government. Thanking tho Unitod States Consul and other oficials who aided him in his danger Dr. Torrey has pow placed the entire matter in the handsof Mr, Fish. All the documents connected with the case have been duly forwarded te the State Department in Washington, TURKISH WAR NOTES. The Vienna German Gazette asks a question which Count Andrassy should answer:— “How does it happen that at a time of profound peaco, when no plotting enemy is on our borders, thero is such a deep rooted fear and uneasiness among our people ?” A correspondent at Phillppopel says that foreigners now have a rough timo in Bulgaria, All tho consuls, with their families, have removed from Rustchak to the Roumanian side ot the Danube for safety. Tho Bishop of Sophia has taken to the Catholic cloister for protection, Tho newspapers would like to denounce the authors of the disturbance but dare not. Asspeciat despatch from Brsljinac statos that threo Turkish pachas have been sent into Bosnia to combat tho insurgents; Fazyl Pacha to Risovac, All Pacha to Grmec and Selim Pacha to Priedor und Banjaluka, While Selim was at Erljevica he was attacked by a large body of insurgents under Melendija Babic and detoated, Ali also suffered defeat near Lipnik. The Political’ Correspondance of Vienna prints a de- spatch from Kostajnica giving a sad picture of affairs in Bosnia, Since the 8th of May the entire country comprising Northern Bosnia has been an immense bat- Ue field. But it must bo said that im these constant fights neither side has anything to boast of, Neither besiegers nor bosieged seem to gain ground, A great number of men are killed, villages are burned, the dead are mutiiatod; to-day retreats are in order, and to-morrow the massacre is continued, The Turks aro not masters of the situation; the insurgents are not in & position to hold any advantage made, for twenty-four hours. It is that peculiar guerilla warfare which hero destroys more men than regularly plained battles. On May 12 the insurgent chiefs Glack, Erkovic and Kocar attacked the Turkish columns with great ferocity at Strbcic and Kestenovac, causing tho latter to fall back with great loss, This victory was celobrated tho samo evening by the burning of six Turkish beys in elligy. Since the Salonica affair there has been great trepida- tion among the Christian population of Bosnia, Four- teen villages nave beey burned by tho imbabitants, who subsequently took/refuge in the forests, It was expected the Turks would perpetrate a wholesale mas- sacro, In Serajewo there was quite a panic, which Haidar Effendi vainly sought to suppress, A DESPERATE UNDERTAKING. THREE MORE SING SING CONVICTS RUN THE GAUNTLET OF THE GUARDS—ONE OF THEM SHOT AND, RECAPTURED., Among the restless inmates of Sing Sing Prison tho daring feat accomplished by four of their number, who last Friday escaped from that institution by util- tzing a convenient locomotive, Is regarded asa heroic deed, worthy of the highest (convict) commendation. It also seems to have infused in tho jailbira breast an additional flutter of hops that opportunity may not bo wanting to enablo many of them to emnlate their fel- lows in again breathing the air of freedom, In illustra- tion of this yesterday afternoon threo convicts, named Thom: Devine, Thomas Flaherty and Martin Kelley, made a break, ani, rushing be- tween guard posts Nos. 6 and 6, dashed away from the prison grounds and into the open fields, ap- parently heedless of the shows -fired at them by the guards, These men belonged to two different gangs, voth of which were employed in what is known as tho “Pond” quarry, situated about an eighth of a mile trom tho prison. Between one and two o’clock they cop. trived to elndo tho- observation of their respective keopers whilo casting off their Convict clothes (called in prison parlance ‘skinning themselves”), and thon rusbed in citizens’ dross across what may be properly termed a ‘death line,’’ the guard posts being only about 200 yards apart and tke sentinels armed with sixteen shooters, Tho latter officials, whose duty it was to shoot down the runaways, appear not to have mide much effort in that direction, as itis said that only three shots were fired trom one of the guards’ posts, and one irom the other, none of which took eflect, Tho fugitives, alter passing the guards, made thor way through a vacant lot, and, hav- ing crossed # low stone wall, wireh forme the boundary of the prison grounds, succeeded in reaching the Albany troad. This road they followed for a short distanco and thon struck ont in an easterly direction tor the woods, As soon a8 the alarm could bo given several of the extra guards and keepers started after the | escaped = =omen, who were fully a milo awny before ‘the pursuit from the — prison commenced. Meantime, however, Elias Acker, twenty, a mere bey tn appearance, who lives with tis mother on the hill overlooking the prison, hearmg tho shocs of the guard, woKed out and saw two of the con- victs running. A moment alterward a per cane along nearly out of breath from the effort he bad ma Tuuning up the bill after the fugitives, Seeing th koeper was almont sted, Acker borrowed his volver and at once set out aitor fhe t was rapidly closing on them in a piece of woods about a mile and a halt trom the prison when one of the des- peradoes halted and ® said, “Now come on if you want this,” but as Acker, pistol in hand, continued to advance on him the fellow turned and run again, Al this timo Acker says ho could have killed buth men if he fett so disposed, | See- ing that the man who drew the knife still continued to run Acker says he first fired two or three shots over the man’s head, thinking to tntimidate him, and then he took aim and sent a bullet tnrough the convies’s leg, whieh cased him to surrender. Acker then took his man and handed him over +6 the first gaard he mot. This insn, who prove | to be Devine, haa thrown away the kuife he brandished betore being captured. Tho other two men sacceeded in escaping, Atier having his wounds dressed by the prison phy- fiction Devine wax handoufled with forty-nine other conviets and sent to Agbarn Prison Jast evening, It was nnderstood that the guards who allowed the three Men torun past their poste would be at once dis- missed, Inspector Wagener, who is at present in charge of the prisun, was particularly incensed at their patent carelessness in letting the men go by them. He pronounced the excape a “desperate undertaking,” wad said te thought he could have shot ten men at the short distance betveen them and the gunrds, were he armed with the kind of weapon ased by the lateer.
