Complications, Montreal Police Authoritles Refuse to Arrest a Man Wanted by the American Authorities-Their Rea sons are Non-Payment of Expenses in an Extradition Case.[Special to The Herald.] Ottawa, June 12.\u2014A case has just been bronght to the attention of the Justice de- partanent wherein the United States shows that their extradition treaty with Great Britain, in so far as Canada is concerned, will be virtually a dead letter in some instances if the treaty is not amended.A few days ago the United States applied to the police authorities at Montreal for the arrest of a man charged with a murderous essanlt and who was wanted in New York.A reply was sent from Montreal stating that the detectives had located the man, but they .would mot arrest him until such time as their expenses were paid.Judge Dugas approved of the action taken by the detectives.It appears that the fees and expenses in connection with the arrest and extradition of Blank and Rosenwig over a year ago, have never yet been paid.They were extradited, tried and executed, yet over $300 of the fees have not been met.One of the bills due was for typewriting.The girl who did this work was in very poor circumstances at the time and has since died of consumption.Her account was never settled.The matter has been referred to the Justice Department.lt is understood that the department took up the question at once with the United States authorities, but have never been able to get any satisfactory reply.At all events the money was never paid.The refusal of the Montreal authorities in the present case has also been laid before the department here, and this will again bring up the question of the costs in the extradition case of Blank and Rosenwig.In every instance the Canadian authorities when applying to the United States for the extradition of an offender have paid their fees.The fees in some cases, take, for an example, the proceedings in the celebrated case of Hopkins at Albany, have amounted to thousands of dollars.But if the Canadian detective who went in search of his man was required to hand over the costs in the case before thearrest was made, it would in most cases tuke so long to do this that the culprit would have time to disappear.Exactly the same thing would apply tothe United States detective at work in Canada as is done in the case in Montreal.The only way to guard against this would be for each country to keep good faith with the other.The treaty provides that the country applying for the extradition of the prisoner has gut to pay the costs.This is not a disputed point, but if the law is to be evaded by the refusa! or negligence of the applicants to pay their bill of expenses then the treaty must be amended to provide aguinst any such occurrence.CAPITAL NOTES, The case of James Canaan vs.M.K.and N.K.Connolly and Larkin-Connoliy & Co.was up again in the Exchequer Court today.The plaintiff sued the defendants for using a certain

Bedford, Mass., June 12.-\u2014Over oue half of the spectators in cotrt this morning were women, anl the second week of the Borden trial opened with the appearance vf increased interest as the uncertainties of the case are unfolded.The indications of à severe strugsle over the admission of the stenographic notes of Miss Bordeu's testimony at the inquest were plentiful.Miss Borden came into court at 8.30 o'clock and took her seat within the bar, looking somewhat dragged, and in answer to an enquiry from Governor Robinson as to her rest last night, her words and manner inuicat-d that she did not pass a pleasant nizht.\u2018The consultation lasted twenty minutes.On the opening of the court the question of the admissibility of the defendant's declarations at the inquest, when under suspicion before her arrest, was argued.Mr.Moody, for the Commonwealth, spent three quarters of an hour maintaining the admissibility on authority, principle and practice, claiming the rule to be that testimony is admissible if voluntary, and arguing that the defendant\u2019s conduct and declarations showing consciousness of guilt would be admissible, even if the defense should claim that a confession would not be.During the argument the prisoner was atfected with a sudden indisposition, and was led from the room by the sheriff.Gov.Robinson, for the defense, argued eloquently that the defendant\u2019s declarations were not voluntary, and then discussed the authorities, which he claimed adinitted the testimony oaiy when facts were different from those here.Governor Robinson spoke for one hour and closed by quoting the doctrine that the prisoner could not be compelled to testify against herself.Mr.Moody tvplied for the State, claiming the facts showed that the testimony was voluntary and corresponded with those in cases where similar testimony was admitted.The justices then withdrew for consultation.The prisoner was brought back to the court room and talked earnestly with Governor Robinson while awaiting the justices\u2019 return, appearing more animated than ever before during the trial.The court returned at 12.30, and delivered a decision excluding the testimony.The prisoner was visibly affected by the court's decision excluding her testimony at the inquest and remained some minutes with her face covered with her fan.The jury returned and at 12.42 Dr.Albert C.Dedri>k was called to the witness stand.PAID THE PENAI TY.John Osmond Electrocuted for a Double Murder.Sing Sing, N.Y., June 12.\u2014The electrocution of John L.Osmond was one of the most successful yet held.Osmond admitted having committed the deed, and said he was un- dr the influence of liquor at the time.He told Father Creedon, the prison chaplain, that he regretted what he had done, and was prepared to pay the penalty.Osmond looked pale, but walked to the chair withoul faltering.For three seconds 1750 volts surged through his body, then the current was reduced to 150 volts, and at the end of 40 seconds was shut off altogether.The body dropped back limp in the chair, and Drs.Irving and Shehan listened to the heart for a moment, and then pronounced the man dead.There were no signs of burning or scorching.He was convicted of the murder of his wife, Mary, and his cousin, John C.Burchell.He and his wife had lived in Burchell\u2019s apartments, No.600 Third Ave., New York City.Ie became jealous of his cousin, and after repeated quarrels left the house and Mrs.Osmond began proceedings for a divorce.Osmond went to the flat on Ocsober 9th, 1892, and killed the woman and her admirer.NOTES FROM RICHMOND.Things Wanted to Make the Place Prosperous.[Special to The Herald.] Richmond, Que., June 12.-\u2014A first-class hay crop in this county is now assured.On low-lying

Employes \u2014The Commissioners Prefer to Go It Alone.There were practically no new developments at the Lachine Canal investigation yesterday, so far as the evidence of the different witnesses was conoerned.The same points that had been brought out by previous witnesses in regard to the loating of employees and the carting away of wood were the principal features of the evidence adduced.At the opening of the morning session, Mr.Archibald announced that Mr.Edward Kennedy was unable to leave the house through illness, and that he would request the Commission to avoid the takiag of evidence personal to Mr.Kennedy.This the chairman promised to do, as far as possible.The first witness called was Napoleon Lajoie, a clerk in the employ of Hurteau Freres.He said that Hurteau had sold no wood for the bridge.He knew, however, of some deals being sold to Henderson and taken to the bridge.This lot had been taken in four loads, with five men to each cart, where one was usually enough.Two loads should have sufficed to take the lot.Mr.Douglass-\u2014Can you give us an idea of how the men worked, according to your personal observations?Witness\u2014I know that some of the carters would wait until their time was taken by the timekeeper and then they would put their horses in the stable and go home.Some days the teams would do nothing at all.There were too many men employed on the bridge and better work should have been done with fewer hands.Mr.St.Jean here rose and reminded the commission of their promise to give a reply to the request filed Saturday.Mr.Cas- grain, Mr.Roy and himself did not base their request on any such absurd argument as had been evolved during the long, dreary} hours of a rainy Sunday, from the imagination of tne reporter of the Gazette.They did not contend that the comumis- sioners were legally bound to admit their evidence.But, believing that the Government was sincere in the investigation upon which it had entered, The Herald, in the interests of the general public, was desirous of supplementing their efforts.They had made their request to that effect.It was perfectly within the power of the commissioners to refuse, but in doing so they would leave themselves open to the suspicion that they did not want to obtain all the evidence that might be given, and that possibly their intention was to make certain officials scapegoats for even greater culpability in higher places.The chairman then read the following reply, which, it will be seen, is a virtual refusal of the request : This commission is composed of three engineers, selected for the purpose of examining the work in question and of making a report upon it.On all scientific and engineering questions connected with the enquiry the commissioners feel that they are competent to investigate and report without further professional assistance.As they have already stated, if any parties desire to give evidence they may attend before the commissioners and offer it, and if pertinent to the enquiry it will be received.The commission is open to anyone who wishes to attend and hear the evidence given, but they cannot recognize the right of a witness or of any party not directly interested or affected by the proceedings of the commission to be officially represented by attorney.Mr, Casgrain: \u201cThen we understand that the commissioners refuse to allow us to give evidence or to have access to any places og specifications in connection with the work.\u201d Mr.Douglass: \u201cYou can give evidence, in our opinion, if it concerns the matter under consideration.As for plans and specifications, whenever, in the course of our investigation, we may make use of such, you will be at liberty to inspect them.\u201d Mr.Casgrain\u2014As you are enquiring into the expenditures in connection with the work on the Lachine Canal, it is to be presumed that you are in possession of all documents and plans in any way pertaining to these works.Mr.Douglass\u2014All we can say is that we arc not making use of any such plans and specifications at present, and until they may be put in evidence before the commission you have no right to examine them.I may say that many of these documents are at Ottawa and not in our hands, The examination of witnesses was then continued.Xavier Huot was called.He was a carpenter and had been employed on the Wellington bridge, at the crib-work and dam and also at putting up derricks.There were several derricks ordered that were not used, at least not to his knowledge.Auguste Sicotte, a construction foreman, said he had 70 men under his supervision, which was rather more than necessary.Many of them were away a good deal and tried to get credit for lost time.He knew of wood being carted away.A carter named Mongean had curted a considerable quantity to the yard of Mr.Milette, which wood he had been told was given by Mr.Kennedy to Mr.Trudel.It was good oak timber and was carted there in carts employed on the canal.The first witness of the afternoon was Joseph Simeon, carpenter.He had been in the employ of the Government on the Lachine Canal since last November.In January he had broken his arm and did not work again until March.His work was to prepare some of the rough wood and deliver it to Mr.Huot.He did not notice carters Joading wood and taking it away, as he had work enough to do attending to his own business.Noither did he notice any of the carters loafing, nor did he ever sce men giving in their time to the timekeepers and then leaving.He did not know if any horses belonging to Mr.Kennedy, sr., had been employed on the work.He had helped to pile oak timbers on (he bank of the canal, but he did not know where it had been used afterwards or if it had been used ab all.Indeed, his observations had been of the most restricted nature, us his own work had occupied all his energies.Cross-examined by Mr.Archibald, witness said he had worked well at his employment.and all the men whom he noticed worked well; the time-keepers came around regularly and kept the time honestly.ominique Danscreau, carter, was then called.He had not worked himself on the Lachine canal, but he had his teams employed there.; Mr.Vanier\u2014Did you know of any of your teamsters drawing wood away from the premises ?Witness\u2014One of them, Leon Lecuyer, told me that on diferent occasions he had drawn loads of wood, but he did not mention any names.Continuing, ; \u2018 heard Mr.Trudel give instructions witness said he had not to the Mr.Douzliss Did you evur CUT any wood hone for yours 17 Witness Yes: I tok seven locals of rotten wo.J.Aleaanler Mongesau, foreman for Mr, Cour: au, gave me perinission to do so.Jean Baptiste Parent, laborer, was the next witness.He had worked ou canal two years, and had been emloyed loading stone at the Terrebonne quarry.A considerable quantity had been taken away from here, He dul not notice whose carts were tee to draw the stone, Mr.Dou_lasf hoes noi à track of tue C.P.R.run through the quay?Cait the stone not have been D dei on to the cars and brought away more cheaply than by carts?\u201d Witness \u2014 \u201cI know that a track ran through some part of she quarry, but did not y particular _atten- tien to it and d not know whether the stone could be takeu by rail.Mr, Douglass\u2014 Well, at any rate it was taken cway in carts?Witness\u2014Yes; it was all carted.Mr.Douglass\u2014Did you ever do any work for Mr.Kennedy?Witness\u2014 Yes; I worked at a drain back of his house.Mr.Douglass\u2014Who paid you for this work! Witness\u2014I was paid for all my time hy the paymaster.The money came in envelopes.Napoleon Desroches, the next witness, said that while in the employ of the Government he work:d several times at Mr.Kennedy's house.He had also often done work in the stable for Mr.Kennedy.He had been paid in the ordinary way, with the exception of £13, which he had heen given by Mr- Kennedy, in the presence of Mr.Parent.He bad helped to] cut and pile wood at Mr.Kennedy's, but did not know where the woud came from.Kuagene Brunet was then called.H¢ had worked on the canal two years, part «* the time at the bridge itself, and after vards delivering wood at the cribs and cofferdams.He had often seen carters loading wood, but did not follow them to see where it was taken.It was wood intended for the crib work.He had heard others say that it was being stolen.Mr.Atwater here said that he thought it would be as well to not take note of any heresay evidence, as nothing was to be gained by it.Mr.Archibald said he would not object if the commission shoull do as Mr.Atwater suggested.Mr.Douglass said they were not there as a court of law, but to obtain information, and to that end \u201ceverything goes.\u201d Mr.Emard (counsel for Mr.St.Lonis)\u2014 Had you any reasons for thinking that this wood you say you saw carted away was not simply taken from one bridge to another?Witness\u2014 \u2018I know nothing about it.I can only say that the men who carted it away said they were doing it for Mr.St.Lows.\u201d Augustin Benoit was the last witness of the day.He had worked at the St.Gabriel Locks and also at the Curran bridge.He had also done all sorts of odd jobs such as sawing blocks and loading wood.The evidence of this witness did not amount to much, being practically the sane as had been given by previous witnesses in regard to the carting away of wood.The commission meets again this morning.THE SPANISH CARAVELS.Quebec Will Welcome Them in a Hearty Fashion.Quebec, June 12.\u2014Judging from progress made to the latest accounts it is now calculated that the Spanish caravels, representing the ships with which Columbus discovered America, should be here on Wednesday morning, that is to say unless wind and weather or some other unforeseen obstacles arise in the interval to delay them.The local press are making an earnest appeal to the citizens to decorate their houscs with Spanish flags in honor of the distinguished strangers, whose arrival will be welcomed by a salute from the Citadel and whose stay in the port will be marked by a round of festivities including a grand dinner at the Garrison Club, a reception at the residence of Mr.Guilmartin, the acting Spanish consul, anda drive around the city and to Montmorency Falls.The three fac-similes of the gaunt old vessels of by-gone days are commanded as follows : The Santa Maria by Captain Concas, the Pinta by Senor Jose Gutierez Sobral, dnd the Nina by Pedro Vasquez.The secretary of the Board of Trade has sent a circular to all the cures of the parishes along the lower St.Lawrence to get their people to welcome the caravels by salutes and other demonstrations as they pass inward.The United States ship Newark will be here with the caravels and visitors will be admitted free on board.OBITUARY.DR.ARCHIBALD W.CAMPBELL.The death of Dr.Archibald W.Campbell, which occurred on Sunday at his residence on University street, means the loss to Montreal of one of her most promising members of the younger school of medicine.The late Dr.Campbell, although still a young man, being under thirty years of age and having only been graduated from Me- Gill University since some seven or cight veurs, had studied his profession at Heidelberg in Germany.and had become a specialist in diseases of the nose and throat.Shortly after beginning his practice in Montreal he was attacked by pulmonary troubles, which compelled him to travel for two years in Colorado and other western states of the union.He returned home and resumed practice a few months ago, but was again attacked by his malady and succumbed on Sunday night.The funeral, which will he private, will take place to-day from his late residence, 240 University street, at 2.30 p.m.Sad Drowning Accident.St.Johns, P.Q., June 12.\u2014On Saturday evening last Miss Guillet and two lady friends were walking along the canal bank, near the C.V.R.bridge, and approaching too near the ede, Miss Guillet lost her footing and fell into the canal.The curtent, being very swift at this point, swept the unfortunate voung lady under the surface.She only rose once, and before assistance could be procured, disappeared.Ktturts were immediately made to recover the body, but without success.On Saturday several charges of dynamite were exploded near the scene of the accident, but up to the time of writing all endeavors were fruitless.This melancholy event has cast a gloom over the community.HON.SAMUEL LOCKE.Halifax, N.&., June 12.\u2014Hon.Samuel Locke.M.L.C.of Lockeport, was found dead in bed at his home Saturday.He was Ti years of age.He had been failing for some years, and has not attended the last two sessions of the

Bullet Through His Victim's Heart While Driving In a Carriage.{Npe dal to The Herald.) Windsor, Ont., June 12.\u2014Captain Jas.Hickey, well-known among vessel menas a diver and wrecker, and who has been connected with the Harley Wrecking Company of this city for the past three years, was shot and instantly killed tonight, by John Vrooman, the man who had alienated his (Hickey's) wife's affee- tions.Vrooman is a man about 23 years of age, dark complexioned and of rather prepossessing appearance.Hickey, who was a very popular man in town, has lived here with his wife for the past five | years, and during that time not a breath of suspicion was ever directed towards her.Vrooman had been, up to three weeks ago, a friend of the family, and frequently spent his evenings with Hickey and his wife.Nothing more than friendship apparently existed between Mrs.Hickey and Vrooman, but on the 24th of May last Mr.Hickey disappeared, taking with her §1,300 of Hickey\u2019s money and all the silverware she could con- The deserted husband took his wife's disappearance very quietly, but all the time kept his eyes open to discover, if possible, her whereabouts.He was unsuccessful, however, and a week ago he moved his furniture down to the office occupied by the Hurley Wrecking Co., at the foot of Ferry street, where he took up his quarters, and to all appearances had forgotten the existence of his wife.Vroo- man, however, continued his friendly relations with Hickey, and the two men were apparently fast friends, although it is said Hickey suspected that Vrooman had something to do with his wife\u2019s disappearance.Mrs.Hickey has been seen several times walking with Vrooman in Detroit, but this never came to Hickey\u2019s ears.About seven o'clock this morning Hickey went over to Detroit to, see the officers of the Murphy Wrecking Company, from whom he expected some work.l'or some reason not known, he failed to come home to dinner, as was his usual custom, but this evening he came over ahout 6.45 and was met at the top of the ferry hill by Vrooman, who was in a buggy.Vreomun called out to Hickey to come to the buggy, that he want- to speak to him.Hickey went up and after a few minutes, earnest conversaiion, Hickey got in beside Vrooman and the two drove up Ovellctte avenue toward the Manning House.When they came to the corner of Pitt street, which is only three blocks from the ferry landing, Vrooman turned the horse's head cast- ward on Pitt street, and when about 25 feet away from Ouelette avenue he turned toward his unsuspecting victim and holding a revolver close to his left breast, fired; the bullet cntered about half an inch from the nipple and probably struck the heart, as the man fell forward dead.Vrooman whipped up his horse and drove away, but was captured about twenty minutes afterwards and taken to the city lock up.There were only two or three eye-witnesses to the shooting, and the stories told by each differ, but the general opinion is that some hot words passed be- twcen the men previous to the shooting, although no one scems to know just what they were.Later\u2014Vrooman has just been taken to the county jail at Sandwich, the town lock up not being considered safe, there being some talk of lynching the prisoner.Hickey was a general favarite here, and the excitement is running high.INDIGNANT CLERKS, They Shake Their Fistsinthe Face of Col.Ainsworth.Washington, June 12.\u2014At the afternoon \u2018session of the inquest on the Ford theatre victims a well dressed man walked forward and in a voice trembling with passion, and shaking his fist in Col.Ainsworth's face, shouted : \u201cYou murdered my brother, and you shan\u2019t sit there intimidating witnesses.\u201d The man was Charles Barnes, whose brother was a victim of the disaster.After the uproar thus occasioned had quieted, Mr.Davis, representing Col.Ains- worth, started to speak, when a dozen excited departmental clerks rose to their feet and shouted for him tosit down.The lieutenant of police endeavored to quiet the outbreak, but his voice was as ineffectual as it would have been in a cyclone.The excitement grew intensely.Nearly every clerk was present, who was employed in the old theatre building, was on his feet shouting.At first they only called \u2018sit down,\u201d \u201cshut your mouth,\u201d but finally some frenzied individual cried \u2018hang him, hang him!\u201d Men were springing forward byjthe time and merespectatorssought cover.It looked as if harm would come to Ains- worth for some clerks were shaking their fists over his head and others were pushing forward as if they wished to tear him to pieces.Mr.Warner and the jurors finally managed to quiet the mob and the deputy coroner adjourned the inquest.Dr.Shacticr adjourned the inquest until 11 o'clock to-morrow morning at the first precinct police station.After the adjournment the department clerks stood about the hall talking excitedly over the accident.Col.Ainsworth sat in his chair fora veniently carry.minute and then walked quietly out of the : building through a side door connected with Williard's Hotel.When the hall was emptied the excited language of the clerks continued on the sidewalks, and finally old Butler Fitch | mounted the entrance of the building and proposed an indignation meeting immediately.The proposition was adopted, and the clerks took possession of the hall.Smith Thompson was elected chairman of the meeting, and bitter denunciations of Col.Ainsworth and of those who justified his course were indulged | in.A committee consisting of Smith Thompson, W.N.Sayre, B.Fitch, Percy Monroe and

informed the Controiler that it was conanonly reported «nd belicved in Ottawa that à gentleman (LC gave his name), largely interested in the SuiSUT relining business in Montreal was und hail been twice early in 13Y1 interested financially in the business of T.J.Watters.The business is carried on under the name of tho * Lake Grand Mica System.\u201d No record of any incorporation of such a company has been made so far as I can find out.I am quite prepared to prove that T.J.Watters is the head spirit of the concern and if the Audit Act of 1878 is of any use whatever Mr.Watters should not now be an ofticer of the Costums Dept., as by clause 3 of the act, any employee cmployed in the collecting, managing or accounting for the revenue, receiving a salary of £1,000 shall not exercise any calling profession trade or employment whatever, with a view to derive protit therefrom, or shall not hold any office of profit whatever, except in either case, with the express permission of the Gov- erner in Council.In reply to a question of Dr.Landerkin M.P.last session, the controller of customs said Mr.Watters had not the express permission of the Governor in Council to trade.I believe this sume Thomas John Watters is well known to the trade of Montreal in times not long past in connection with the collection of revenue by way of seizures made for alleged breaches of the custom's act.This law, or rather this branch of the Customs act, has I believe been done away with a short time since, but while it was law I understand this same Mr.Watters was most zealous in enforcing its provisions, as many traders in Montreal are aware to their cost and if report speaks truly to the benefit very largely of this same Mr.Watters.The way in which merchants were harrassed in their business was a subject of every general complaint, and people could not understand how Hin.Mr.Bowell (than whom there is no more honorable man.in public life in Canada) could allow merchants to be harrassed in such a manner for so lont a period, apparently for the benefit of Mr.Watters.À reference to the blue books of the department show that Mr.Watters received for years large sums thus taken from the merchants under this law.I allege and offer to prove that Mr.Watters is engaged in the mining, buying, and selling of mica, for which the chief market is the United States.Accompanying each shipment there is an export entry made tothe Canadian authorities showing the amount and value of each lot cxported, together with the name of the purchaser.This export entry is, I presume, open to officers of the Customs Department, and as Mr.Walters is an employer fit is most likely, or at all events others engaged in this trade believe Mr.Walters has excess to these papers and and thus has a most unfair advantage over those engaged in the same trade.There are other graver charges which I have made against Mr, Watters and have asked the Controller td hold an enquiry.T think, Mr.Editor, that you and the public will agree with mo that these charges should be investigated, and if found true Mr.Watters should immediately be dismissed from the Customs Department, by which he would have more time to devote to his private business which, besides the Mica trade, is largely taken up in purchasing claims against property in the possession of others and bringing and fighting law
