EXTRADITION OF NEELY
JUDGE LACOMDE REFUSED TO
SIGHT THE WRIT.
On Account of Judge Wallace
Granting- Appeal to the
Supreme Court.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Judge Lacombe,
in the United States Court, today refused
to sign the writ of extradition for Charles
F. W. Neely, on account of the action
Judge Wallace In granting an appeal to
the Supreme Court in the habeas corpus
proceedings, but indicated that he did not
think Judge Wallace understood the real
situation of the case and he believed that
if 'z went to the Supreme Court In Its
present shape, the application for a writ
of habeas corpus would be denied.
A citation in the Neely case, signed by
Judge William J. Wallace, was filed in the
Clerk's office of the United States Court
today. The citation calls upon Henry,
L. Burnett, United States District Attor
ney, and William A. Henkle, United
States Marshal, to appear before tho
Supreme Court of the United States in
Washington, September 7 next, pursuant
to a citation of April 4, In which Charles
F. W. Neely Is the appellant and Mar
shal Henkel the appellee, to show cause
why the final order of the Circuit Court,
the said .petition of appeal, should not
be corrected and speedy justice should
not be done In that behalf.
In refusing to sign the extradition writ.
Judge Lacombe said In part:
"I came here this morning to sign an
order putting Neely in custody under an
act passed by Congress, June 6 last,
providing the Government make a dispo
sition of the two suits under which or
ders of arrest still stand against him.
I find, however, that the exceptional
appeal of the prisoner's counsel has pro
duced a most peculiar situation, a com
plication that, so far as I know, has nev
er before existed in connection with ex
tradition cases., Judge Wallace, of this
court, has been applied to for, a writ of
habeas corpus on the ground, among
others, that the act of June 6 Is uncon
stitutional. The writ of habeas corpus was
asked in order that the Constitutionality
of the act be tested and to restore to
liberty a prisoner alleged to be held un
der It. But the act of Juno 6 does not
apply here. No one Is restrained of his
liberty under that act. I never issued
an order authorizing his holding under
the act of June 6. Now the proceedings
asking a writ of habeas corpus has been
refused, an appeal taken and an order
Issued by Judge Wallace remanding the
prisoner. I do not know upon what in
formation Judge Wallace acted. Nor can
I see what else can happen to the "ap
peal when It reaches the United States
Supreme Court except that they will dis
miss It as being brought upon insufficient
grounds. Habeas corpus cannot be avail
ed of under the act until some proceed
ings are held under the act. And I have
been careful all along fo allow the order
of arrest In the civil suit to stand and
not to attempt to put him under the pro
vision of the new act."
Judge Lacombe sold he did not want
to sign papers dismissing the old charges
r.nd leaving the prisoner held only on tho
remaining order of Judge Wallace, and
asked Mr. Lindsay if Judge Wallace knew
the man was not held under the act of
June 6. Mr. Lindsay did not answer di
rectly, but said he knew the prisoner
was arrested on an order Issued) by
Judge Lacombe. Judge Burnett, by re
quest of Judge Lacombe, stated his po
sition in the case, saying he did not
think Judge Wallace was fully Informed
of the prisoner's proceedings. Mr. Lind
say said all he wanted was an oppor
tunity to submit this case to the Supreme
Court. In this connection Judge Lacombe
said:
"'I certainly shall not take any action
which will turn over to a foreign coun
try or another state. It matters not which,
a prisoner who Is held here under an or
der of arrest In a civil or criminal sec
tion, until such actions shall have been
discontinued. This position I have taken
from the beginning. I shall not allow the
prisoner to be remanded until we have
got through with him. I shall assent
to no proposition that will take the pris
oner out of the Jurisdiction of this court
at the call of any tribunal on earth."
Judge Lacombe advised Marshal Hen
kol to keep the prisoner In custody un
der the civil order or under Judge Wal
lace's order, as he choose, and to advise
with the District Attorney about that.
The Government was given until next
Monday to decide what further action
they will take In the matter.

AMEER SEES HIS CHANCE
PREPARING TO ADVANCE OS THE
RUSSIAN FRONTIER.
TVIly Ruler of Afghanistan Will
Take Advantage of the War
Further East.
LONDON. Aug. 13. A news agency dis.
patch from Lahore, Punjab, says that
the Ameer of Afghanistan is mobilizing
forces of Infantry and artillery and that
It is reported an advance on the Russian
frontier is contemplated. It is added that
the news is not fully credited at Lahore,
though It Is explained the Ameer's be

FINANCES IN AMERICA.
Encourage Britishers to Beilevc TVe
"Will Take Up Their War Loan.
LONDON, Aug. 13. The Times today
prints a long editorial dealing with the
economic position of the United States
as evinced by the allotment of the war
loan, tracing the progress 'during the last
four years of the reduction of the Amer
ican debt, but maintains that the United
States has not yet ceased to be a debtor
Nation. It refers to the abundance of
capital accumulating in America, and
adds:
"Nothing" could suit the Americans bet
ter, among the non-American securities,
than the obligations of the British Gov
ernment. Not only have the Americans
considerably reduced the permanent in
debtedness of Europe by buying Ameri
can railway and other bonds and securi
ties, but when in the Autumn of 1893 Lon
don houses refused to renew masses of
German bills previously held here, the
bulk, after-having been domiciled for a
short time In Paris, were transferred to
New York. where they have remained ever
since, and have doubtless been added to.
The United States also lent money to
Russia. It has been evident for 18 months
or.two.years that American money houses
possessed large funds which they have
been unable to employ at home' satis
factorily, and the higher Interest rates
at present In Europe attract some of
this money."
In the course of Its financial articles
this morning, the Daily Mail says:
"Strange to say, the pivot of the inter
national money market Is now New York.
The export of gold to Europe, which New
York talks about so condescendingly,
amounted last week to fully $5,000,000. As
much more is likely to be shipped this
week, and the New York reserves are
likely to be depleted to the extent of 50,
000.000 by "the end of August. It is a
question If New York can stand it safe

Twelve Persons Killed nnd Forty
Injured.
ROME, Aug. 13. The railroad accident
which occurred about midnight twelvo
miles from this city turns out to hava
been more serious than reported. It
now appears that 12 persons were killed

The disaster was caused by the tele
scoping of two sections of tho train on
the railroad from Rome to Florence, bear
ing notable persons who had been attend
ing the recent ceremonies here. The en
gine of the first section became disabled
and stopped and the train was almost
immediately afterwards struck by the
second section. The Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Peter of Russia and the
members of the Turkish mission, who had
attended tho funeral of King Humbert,
were among the passengers, but they
were uninjured. The Grand Duchess is
a sister of the new Queen of Italy.
When informed of the -accident. King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helene has
tened to the scene. The Queen and her
sister returned to the Qulrinal, while the
King and the Grand Duke remained on
the spot, giving orders to assist In clear
ing the wreck and saving the injured.
They re-entered the Qulrinal at 6 o'clock
in the morning.
POISONED FLOWERS.
Sent to the Chinese Minister in
Paris.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. A special dis
patch from Paris to the Evening Tele
gram today says:
An artful attempt at poisoning by the
use of perfume is exciting all the gos
sips of Paris. Thursday the Chinese Min
ister, Yu Kung, received a letter. It was
signed "Julie Czerwlnska," and contained
some dried flowers which the writer
asked him to accept.
The Secretary to the Legation, Armani
Di Parma, opened the letter and was
Immediately, overcome by the deadly
odor emanating from the flowers. He
fell in a faint. His faint was accompa
nied by sickness and vomiting; in fact
his sickness had many characteristics
of poisoning and only by prompt treat
ment was he relieved.
Mile. Czerwlnska has been arrested.
She appears to bo mentally deranged.
Before the examining magistrate she
claims to be the victim of a Polish Prin
cess, who vowed to take hideous ven
geance for some mysterious wrong done
her, presumably by the flower sending.
Julie Is now being carefully watched by
attendants.
The flowers are being chemically ana

congress was opened today with 300 dele

urged the Jews not to Interfere, and be
tolerant to others, as they wished tolera
