Governor Dawson has been called upon to Issue extradition pa|M'rs for Nanien Joseph and Maliood Azzalon. now hi custody at Beyrouth. Syria, charged with the murder of Najap Mahlen. a fellow Syrian peddler, on Coni river last February. Detective It. H. Anderson, of the Baldwin force, who has had charge of the case, received a cablegram from the American counsel at Bey routh saying that th * men had been are?ted. It is possible that the governor will not Issue extradition papers. To sen.! a man to Turkey to get the men would cost more than $1,000. if the men ar> convicted then they will he sent to the penitentiary, where they will be a great expense to the stato. As it is they cannot return to America. It is ,i1ho probable that the man they murdered was not a <$izen of the d'uited States, the three being |*eddlers. On tho other hand a man was murdered In cold bloo:! within the borders of the state, and to further the ends of justlre the men should be brought to Madison, Boone coun ty, where they have been Indicted for murder. It Is a question the governor will have to decide. The murder of Mahlen was cold blooded. Karly last February three Syrian p Midlers made their appear ance on Coal river. Many of their kinsmen were there and they seamed to prospr. It was soon noised about that Mahlen had made a nice little sum or money on a little deal. One the trio disappeared and their kinsmen thought They had moved to other parts. About sixty days /iter th-* horri bly mutilated body of Mahieu was f^JJnd lying In the water under a culvert under the Coal river exten sion of the C. & O. near Rayford. The head was beaten almost to a pulp, and there were other wounds on the bod)'. The. pockets w.'re rifled. The two companions of Mahlen wer.> immediately suspected of the murder. R JI. Andersen, a Bald win detective, took charge of the ease and telegraphed a description of the men all over th • country, soon Anderson learned from some or the. Syrians on Coal river that the men had gone back to the old country. Immediately steps w *re taken to procure their arrest there. Police authorities were communicated with and a description of the men suit. Should the governor issue the extra dition pai*ers Anderson wll go after the men. He says he does not want a guard hut will bring them saTely here by himself. NOTICK to T.WI'.WKHS. I am now golfing up my delin quent list and same will be published about tlie lOtli or May.

Londoit, Af»rii L’7.- The mon re markable weather for the season ex perienced in the United Kingdom for several decades has prevailed during tiie last week. Snow has fallen in Kondon every day since last Mon I day, and once it was two or three inches deep on Hampstead H'ath. The thermometer has been down nearly to the freezing point. Heavy fall* of snow in the north hnve caused floods on the Scottish border and early Saturday morning the heaviest snow fall for many years swept over Southern Sussex and Hampshire, the snow In some places being two or tlir;'e feet deep. At Southampton business has been practically sus|M>nded; the street ear servin' is snowed up and gangs of men are digging the cars out from deep drifts. The same conditions | prevail at Portsmouth, and there have been heavy falls of snow at 1 Ba1h and Bournemouth. The New market races have been postponed on account of the snow.

Considerable Gray sentiment has developed and ft is possible that ' an attempt may be made to swing the convention to the Delaware Jurist.

April 27.- The New A ork .'/ornlug Telegraph sals edj i torlally: The situation In Democratic poll I ties begins to assume a very llryan esqu« tinge. A number of promt* iient I>emocrats, who have hitherto .declined to indorse Mr. Bryans can I dldacy, have become disgusted with the methods employed against the •Nebraskan and have manifested a desire to get aboard the Hryan band | wagon. Not the leust conspicuous of j these gentlemen is former Unit'd .States Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, now practicing law In New York. | Senator Lindsay voted against Bry jan In lXiMI, leading the revolt in : hi* state for Palmer and Buckner, the candidates* on toe Bold Demo cratic ticket. A close friend of Senator Lind say's said yesterday at the Waldorf Astoria that the men behind the Johnson boom had mad > the mistake I or supposing that you could noinl | uate. a man for the presidency of ihe l nlted States by merely calling I him a Swede. They any that it is j re*Hy l*lty that u good man like | Governor Johnson. or Minnesota. ■ should be so mlHtiianaged as to make I It Impossible for the Democratic con | ventlon to oven nominate him for | second place. It is surmised that the falling off in Johnson sontlinent is due largely to the lack of warmth shown In the movement by James J. Hill, of Min nesota. Mr. Mill ceased to take much Interest in the Governor John son presidential nsplrations as soon as lie learned that W. O. Conrad, the Montana banker, miner and rail road owner, was Mr. Bryan’s per sonal choice for the vice presidency ' Mr. Conrad Is a Virginian and went | Into the northwest forty years ago. when Mr. Kill started to open up that wilderness. Mr. Conrad and Mr Mill have been close business und personal friends during all thes* yearn, noth gentleman have become multi-millionaires by helping build up that section of the country, and they have convinced Mr. Bryan that the way to win out is to adopt the policy of building up rather than tearing down. Mr. Conrad was seen at the Na tional Park Hunk before he started west yesterday, 'lie said; “Mr. Hryan will he nominated be yond ill* shadow of a doubt. He already has more than enough del egates pledged to him to control the convention. MusInesH men general ly are turning to Mr. Hryan, and I look upon Ids election as a sure thing." Mr. Conrad was ask »d if he was a candidate for vice president, and he replied very frankly that he was not a candidate In the sense of hunt ing for the. place. "A number of my friends in the south and west." said he, “have asked me to be a candidate on the theory that It was about time the south had some representation upon the Democratic ticket. I’m not going to do anything to get the nomlna ilon, Ixit If It comes my way I'll be pleased to accept It. I consider It a great honor to run on the ticket with Colonel Itryan. He Is one of the big men of this century.” The bringing forward of Mr. Con rad's name at this time is a shrewd play on the part, of Mr. Hryan. Mr. Conrad Is the most popular figure In the northwest. Worth anywhere from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000, he Is as simple and Democratic as Hry an hlms df. Ills personality per vades the whole northwestern coun try. When It becomes known that he is Mr. Hryan's personal choice for the seeond place on the tick ‘t, the Johnson boom will collapse. It Is necessary for Wall street to me dersfflnd theae facts In ordor |ats thoroughly grasp the Ixmorratlc situation. One thing la certain; If Mr. Conrad Is on the. Democratic ticket with Mr. Hryan the platform will he a conservative one. Ills name insurea for the Democratic party a constructlv • policy. Iff: (HKIM HITTKII. Olive Kcl>ckah Dodge 'So. <»f>. I O.
